Acc VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG 2014 2.G Owners Manual

As driver of the towed vehicle:
x If your vehicle is the one being towed, the ignition switch must be switched on to keep the steering wheel from locking. Also make sure that the turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, and windshield washers work properly.
x Since power steering does not work when the engine is switched off, more effort is needed to steer the vehicle.
x Since the brake booster also does not work when the engine is stopped, you will need to press harder on the brake pedal to slow down or stop. Do not hit the towing vehicle.
x Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the towing vehicle's owner's manual.
As driver of the towing vehicle
x Drive especially carefully and accelerate gently. Avoid sudden driving maneuvers.
x Brake earlier than usual and with light pedal pressure.
x Read and heed the information and WARNINGS in the owner's manual of the vehicle being towed.

Hill Hold is activated automatically when points 1 to 3 are met at the same time:
4. To drive off, take your foot off the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator within 2 seconds.
Release the brake as you gently depress the accelerator.
Hill Hold is immediately deactivated:
x If any requirement listed in the table above is no longer met (see ⇒ table 429).
x If the engine is not running smoothly or the engine malfunctions.
x If the engine stalls or is switched off.
x If the transmission is in Neutral (N).
x If a tire does not have enough road contact (such as when the vehicle is tipped or at an angle).
WARNING
The intelligent technology of Hill Hold cannot overcome the laws of physics. Never let the increased convenience provided by Hill Hold tempt you into taking risks.
x The Hill Hold feature cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start situations (for example, if the surface is icy or slippery).
x Hill Hold can only help keep the vehicle from moving for less than 2 seconds. After that, the brakes will be released and the vehicle can roll down the hill.
Hill Descent Assist

x OR: If the driver brakes or accelerates.
WARNING
Always be ready to apply the brakes. Otherwise accidents and injuries can occur.
x Hill Descent Assist is merely a driving aid and cannot always slow the vehicle down enough under on downhill grades.
x The vehicle may pick up speed despite the use of Hill Descent Assist.
The Hill Descent Assist also works when you are backing down a hill.

WARNING
Rear Assist technology cannot overcome the laws of physics and the limits of the system. Careless or unintentional use of Rear Assist may result in accidents and severe injuries.
x Always adjust your speed and driving style to road, traffic, weather, and visibility conditions.
x Always keep an eye on the parking direction and the vehicle surroundings. The front of the vehicle swings out more than the rear of the vehicle.
x Never pay so much attention to the graphics shown on the screen that you fail to notice what is going on around you.
x Always watch for people, especially small children, animals and objects, because the camera may not always be able to detect them.
x The system may not be able to clearly show everything behind the vehicle.
x Use Rear Assist only when the rear hatch is completely closed.
NOTICE
x The camera shows only two-dimensional images on the screen. Due to the lack of depth of field, it may be difficult or impossible to identify protruding objects or recesses in the road, for example.
x Things like thin rods, fences, posts and trees may not be detected by the camera and could damage the vehicle.
Operation

Activating and deactivating Area View
Automatically deactivate display:
Drive forward faster than about 9 mph (15 km/h).
OR: Switch off the ignition. The Area View display screen turns off after a few seconds.
Special considerations

1) Do not use Area View in the following situations:
– When an incorrect or unclear image is displayed, such as when there is poor visibility or the lens is dirty.
– If the area behind the vehicle cannot be seen clearly or completely.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– If the driver is not familiar with the system.
– If the position or angle of the cameras has changed, such as after an accident. Have the system checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

2) Examples of optical distortion by the camera:
The Area View cameras display only two-dimensional images. Recesses and protruding objects on the ground or protruding parts on other vehicles area difficult or impossible to identify due to the lack of depth of field.
Objects or another vehicle may seem closer or farther away on the screen than they really are:
– When driving from a level surface onto an upward or downward slope.
– When driving up or down a slope onto a level surface.
– If the rear of the vehicle is heavily loaded.
– When approaching protruding objects. These objects can disappear from the field of view when approaching them.
NOTICE
x Never use abrasive cleaning agents to clean the camera lenses.
x Never remove snow or ice on the camera lenses with warm or hot water. This can damage the camera lenses.
Volkswagen recommends practicing using the Area View system in a safe place with little or no traffic or in a parking lot in order to familiarize yourself with the system and the way it works.

NOTICE
x Things like trailer draw bars, thin rods, fences, trees, and narrow painted vertical poles or posts may not be detected by the Park Distance Control and Optical Parking System sensors and could damage the vehicle.
x If you continue driving closer to an object that the Park Distance Control and Optical Parking Systems have already detected 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 warnings about these objects. Ignoring signals from the Park Distance Control system could result in serious damage to the vehicle.
x The sensors in the bumper 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, 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 example, can prevent the Park Distance Control system from accurately detecting and reporting people and objects that may be within range of the system 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 and the Optical Parking System in a location or parking space with no traffic in order to become familiar with the system and how it works.
