Blind Spot Monitor
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Driving with the Blind Spot Monitor
Troubleshooting
Radar sensors monitor the area behind the vehicle. The system measures the distance and
difference in speed in relation to other vehicles and uses visual signals in the exterior mirrors to
inform the driver.
System limits
Use the Blind Spot Monitor only on surfaced roads.
The Blind Spot Monitor may not always interpret the traffic correctly in the following situations:
In tight bends.
When driving in the middle of two lanes.
When road lanes are of varying width.
At road crests.
In poor weather conditions.
Where there are special roadside structures, e.g. high or offset crash barriers.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the Blind Spot Monitor cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the Blind

the Blind Spot Monitor can cause accidents and serious injuries. The system is not a substitute for
the full concentration of the driver.
Adapt your speed and distance from the vehicles ahead to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
Your hands should always be on the steering wheel so that you can steer at any time.
Pay attention to the indicator lamps in the exterior mirrors and in the instrument cluster display and
respond according to the commands.
Always pay close attention to the surroundings of the vehicle.
Never use the Blind Spot Monitor if the radar sensors are dirty, covered or damaged. These
conditions can impair the proper functioning of the system.
It may be hard to see the indicator lamp in the exterior mirror in direct sunlight.

Some settings can be saved in the user accounts of the personalisation function and can therefore
change automatically when the user account is changed Personalisation
Driving with the Blind Spot Monitor

Fig. 124 In the exterior mirrors: Blind Spot Monitor display.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings
Switching on and off
Depending on the vehicle equipment, by means of the button for the driver assist systems Button
for driver assist systems
OR: using the Assist systems menu in the instrument cluster.
OR: with some equipment levels, in the Driver assistance menu in the Infotainment system
Vehicle settings menu
When the Blind Spot Monitor is ready for operation, the yellow indicator lamp lights up once
briefly in the exterior mirrors.
This most recent system setting is retained even after the ignition has been switched off and on.

When switched on, the Blind Spot Monitor is active from a speed of approx. 15 km/h (9 mph).
In the following driving situations, the yellow indicator lamp will light up in the corresponding
exterior mirror: Fig. 124
If your vehicle is being overtaken.
When overtaking another vehicle with a speed difference of up to approximately 10 km/h (6 mph).
No display will be shown if the takeover manoeuvre is much faster.
If a vehicle is detected in the blind spot and the turn signal is additionally activated in the direction
of the detected vehicle
In vehicles with the lane keeping system, the yellow indicator lamp will flash even if you do not
activate the turn signal when leaving your lane, provided that the lane keeping system is switched on
(Blind Spot Monitor Plus). The driver is warned by a corrective steering intervention when changing
lanes during a possible critical situation (information level, warning level). This also occurs when the
turn signal is activated for the corresponding direction. If the steering intervention is overridden by
the driver, the steering wheel vibrates to give an additional warning.
The quicker another vehicle approaches, the earlier there is a corresponding display in the exterior
mirror.
Automatic deactivation
The radar sensors for the Blind Spot Monitor will switch off automatically if, for example, the system
detects that a radar sensor is continuously covered. This can be caused by a layer of ice or snow in
front of the radar sensor, for example.
A text message will be shown on the instrument cluster display.
If the Blind Spot Monitor has been automatically deactivated, the system cannot be activated until
the ignition has been switched off and back on again.
The Blind Spot Monitor is automatically deactivated and cannot be activated when the factory-fitted
towing bracket is electrically connected to a trailer or similar Trailer towing
electrically connected to the vehicle and the driver pulls away, a text message appears in the
instrument cluster display to inform the driver that the Blind Spot Monitor has been deactivated.
The Blind Spot Monitor will be automatically activated again when the trailer has been unhitched
from the vehicle. This applies if the function was previously activated. The Blind Spot Monitor must
be deactivated manually if you tow a trailer using a towing bracket that was not fitted at the factory.
Troubleshooting

Rear view camera system (Rear View)
Park Assist Park Assist
The available systems vary according to the vehicle equipment level.
Limits of the parking systems
The sensors or cameras may not always be able to detect objects such as thin rails, fences, posts,
trees, very low or high obstacles and open or opening boot lids.
In some cases, dirt and ice on the sensors or cameras could be registered as an obstacle.
Limits of the rear view camera system
The rear view camera system shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. The lack of depth
of field means that potholes and protruding objects on the ground may only be detected with
difficulty, or may not be detected at all.
The system displays the orientation lines irrespective of the area surrounding the vehicle. There is no
automatic obstacle detection. Drivers must judge for themselves whether the vehicle will fit into the
parking space.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the parking systems cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Never let the extra convenience afforded by the
parking systems tempt you into taking any risks when driving. The parking systems cannot replace
the full concentration of the driver.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
Keep looking in the direction in which you are parking and at the relevant area surrounding the
vehicle.
Do not allow the displays in the instrument cluster and the images shown in the Infotainment
system to distract you from the traffic.
Always monitor the area around the vehicle as the parking systems will not always detect infants,
animals and objects.
The parking systems have blind spots in which obstacles and people are not registered.
External sources of sound and certain surfaces on objects and clothing may influence the signals of
the sensors. In certain circumstances, the systems will be unable to detect or properly detect people
and objects.
Certain objects, for example narrow posts or railings, may be difficult or impossible to see on the
screen because of its resolution or poor light conditions.

respond quickly enough to issue a warning.

Volkswagen recommends that drivers practise using the parking systems in a traffic-calmed area or
car park to allow them to familiarise themselves with the systems and their functions.

Parking
Troubleshooting
The rear view camera system in the rear of the vehicle makes it easier for the driver to see behind
the vehicle and provides support for parking manoeuvres.
The rear view camera system shows the area behind the vehicle on the Infotainment system screen.
Depending on the operating mode, orientation lines support the view to the rear.

WARNING
Using images from the camera to estimate the distance from obstacles (people, vehicles etc.) is
inaccurate and could cause accidents and severe injuries.
