Radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors and Front Assist camera

Fig. 271 Vehicle front view: Sensors and camera

There are 2 radar sensors next to the fog lights on the vehicle front (3). These can detect moving vehicles up to 590 ft (180 m) in front of your vehicle.
The areas of the sensors (2) and (3) and the camera (1) must not be spray painted on or covered by stickers or other objects, since this can lead to a malfunction of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the Front Assist system.
NOTICE
If you notice that Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or Front Assist doesn't work properly or the sensors are damaged, switch off ACC immediately.
x Go see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance and have the ACC system checked.
x The sensors can be damaged or become misaligned in low speed impacts and parking maneuvers. Damaged or misaligned sensors can cause ACC or Front Assist to malfunction.
x To help make sure that the system works properly, always keep the sensors 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 For Declaration of Compliance to United States FCC and Industry Canada regulations
Always keep the area of the Front Assist camera clear of ice and snow.

When to deactivate Lane Assist

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 condi-tions.
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 Rear Assist 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 Rear Assist 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 Rear Assist cam-era and could damage the vehicle.
