Parking

Key to figure ⇒ fig. 133:
Meaning
(2) Selected parking space.
(3) Side lines of the selected parking space.
(4) Rear boundary of the parking space, such as a curb.

All references to the length of orientation lines apply to a vehicle that is standing on a horizontal sur-face.
Parking using the Rear View Camera system

Step Action:
1. The requirements for parking and maneuvering with the Rear
View Camera system must be fulfilled
2. Position the vehicle in front of the parking space (2) ⇒ fig. 133 A.
3. Shift into Reverse (R).
4. Reverse slowly and steer the vehicle B so that the lateral yellow
orientation lines lead into the parking space (2).
Pay attention to the message in the display: Look! Safe to
move? ⇒ 
5. Align the vehicle in the parking space B so that the yellow orienta-
tion lines are parallel with the parking space (3).
6. Stop the vehicle C before (or at the very latest, when) the horizon-
tal yellow line reaches the rear boundary, for example, a curb (4).

NOTICE
Smaller objects up to about 20 inches (50 cm) from the rear of the vehicle will not be detected by the camera and could result in vehicle damage.

Park Distance Control (PDC)

NOTICE
x Things like trailer draw bars, thin rods, fences, trees, narrow painted vertical poles, posts, or a luggage compartment lid that is opening may not be detected by the Park Distance Control sensors and could damage the vehicle.
x If you continue driving closer to an object that the Park Distance Control has already de-tected and reported, the object may disappear from the sensor range and may no longer be detected. This is especially true for low or high objects. The system will no longer sound warn-ings about these objects. Ignoring signals from the Park Distance Control system could result in serious damage to the vehicle.
x The sensors in the bumpers can be damaged or become misaligned in low speed impacts and parking maneuvers. Damaged or misaligned sensors cannot accurately detect or report objects that might be within range of the PDC system.
x To help make sure that the system works properly, always keep the sensors in the bumpers clean and free of snow and ice; do not cover the sensors with stickers or other objects.
x When cleaning the sensors with power washers or steam cleaners, only spray the sensors directly for a very short time, and always keep the washer nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from the sensors.
x Noise from rough roads, cobblestones, other vehicles and the surrounding area, for exam-ple, can prevent the Park Distance Control system from accurately detecting and reporting people and objects that may be within range of the sensors.
x Aftermarket components such as bicycle racks can impair the function of the Park Distance Control system.
Volkswagen recommends practicing with the Park Distance Control system in a location or park-ing space with no traffic in order to become familiar with the system and how it works.

Special considerations when using Park Distance Control
x In some cases, the Park Distance Control interprets water and ice on the sensors as an obstacle.
x If the distance remains the same, the warning tone volume decreases after a few seconds. If a continuous tone sounds, its volume remains the same.
x If the vehicle moves away from the obstacle, the beeping sound stops automatically. The beep turns on again automatically if the vehicle approaches the obstacle again.
x For vehicles with automatic transmissions, there is no beeping when the transmission is in Park (P).
x The volume of the audible signals can be adjusted by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
Muting the Park Distance Control volume
You can mute the PDC beeping signals by tapping the  function key on the Radio or Navigation system screen (if applicable). Tap the function key again to reactivate the acoustic signals.
Switching Park Distance Control back on after it was switched off reactivates the volume. System malfunction warning signals cannot be switched off.
If you manually deactivate the display, PDC remains on and the sound is reactivated.
WARNING
Never rely completely on the PDC for information about people and objects that might be in the way of the vehicle and could be struck by the vehicle causing serious personal injury.
x The PDC sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect people or objects.
x Always watch for people, especially small children and animals, because the sensors may not always be able to detect them.
If you hear a long beep lasting about 3 seconds when you first turn PDC on or the indicator light in the button starts blinking, this means there is a malfunction in the Park Distance Control system. Switch off the Park Distance Control system with the button and have it immediately checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

WARNING
x Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.
It can take a few seconds before the area scanned by the sensors activates the acoustic or visual signals.
