The Park Pilot assists the driver when
parking and manoeuvring.
The ultrasound sensors in the bumpers transmit and receive ultrasound waves. The electronic sys-tem uses the ultrasound waves (i.e. transmission, reflection from the obstacle and reception) to cal-culate the distance between the bumper and the obstacle.

A WARNING
ParkPilot technology cannot overcome sys-tem-related vehicle limitations. The ParkPilot cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.
• Unintentional vehicle movements can cause serious injury.
• Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic con-ditions.
• Ultrasound sensors have blind spots in which obstacles and people cannot be detec-ted.
• Always check the area around the vehicle as the ultrasound sensors will not always de-tect infants, animals and objects.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Certain surfaces of objects and clothes cannot reflect the signals from the ultrasound sensors. The system is unable to detect these objects or people wearing this type of clothing, or they may be detected incorrectly.
• External sources of sound can affect the signals of the ultrasound sensors. This may prevent the system from recognising people or objects.
CD
Various factors can negatively Impact the Park-Pilot functions or lead to damage to the vehicle and objects in the area surrounding the vehi-cle.
• The ultrasound sensors may not always be able to detect objects such as trailer drawbars, thin rails, fences, posts, trees and open or opening boot lids. This can result in damage to your vehicle.
• If the ParkPilot has detected an obstacle and issued a warning, the obstacle may move out of the detection range of the ultrasound sensors as the vehicle approaches it, particu-larly if the object is very high or very low. These objects are no longer registered.
• The vehicle can sustain considerable dam-age if the warning given by the ParkPiiot is ig-nored.
• Ultrasound sensors can be displaced or damaged through Impacts, e.g. when parking.
• The ultrasound sensors must be kept clean and free of ice and snow, and must not be cov-ered up by stickers or other objects, as this will prevent the system from working properly.
• Repainting the ultrasound sensors can im-pair the function of the Park Pilot.
• The ultrasound sensors should only be sprayed briefly when cleaning with pressure hoses and steam cleaners. The steam/hose nozzle must always be kept more than 10 cm away from the ultrasound sensors.
• Sources of noise can lead to errors in the ParkPilot system, e.g. rough asphalt, cobble-stones, induction loops, building equipment, or interference from other vehicles.

CD
• In some cases water and ice on the ultra-sound sensors could be registered as an ob-struction.
• Any equipment that has been retrofitted to the vehicle, e.g. bicycle carriers or number plate holders, can prevent the ParkPIIot from fu nctlonlng properly.
m Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recom-L!J mends that drivers practise using the ParkPi-lot in a traffic-calmed area or car park to allow them to familiarise themselves with the system and its functions.

CD
Failure to observe the illuminated text messag-es can lead to the vehicle being damaged. The areas to the front and rear of the vehicle that are scanned by ultrasound sensors are shown on the screen of the factory-fitted radio or navigation system. The positions of potential obstacles are displayed relative to the vehicle &.
The areas to the front (only with ParkPilot front and rear) and rear of the vehicle are fully scanned by the ultrasound sensors.
Acoustic signals and screen
Acoustic signals are given when the vehicle ap-proaches an obstacle located in the range of the ultrasound sensors. An intermittent signal tone is given if a sufficiently short distance between the vehicle and an obstacle is detected. The shorter the distance, the shorter the intervals. The signal tone will sound continuously if the obstacle is very close.
If you continue to drive the vehide closer to the ob-sta de despite the continuous signal tone, the sys-tem will no longer be able to measure the distance.
With some vehicle equipment levels the scanned areas may be displayed as several segments in a display. The closer the vehicle drives lowards an obstacle, the closer the segment will move to the vehicle in the display. The collision area has been reached when the penultimate segment is dis-played, if not before. Do not drive onl .,..

• Exterior views 5
• Wipers/washer 116
• Supplementary heaters (auxiliary air heater or auxiliary coolant heater) 332
• Cleaning and caring for the vehicle exterior 380
A WARNING
Poor visibility through all windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause serious injuries.
• Always ensure that all windows are free of ice, snow and mist to ensure good visibility.
3221 While driving
A WARNING (Continued)
• Maximum heat output, which Is needed to defrost the windows as quickly as possible, is only available when the engine has reached Its operating temperature. Do not start your journey until you have good visibil-Ity.
• Always ensure that the heating and fresh air system or the air conditioning system and the rear window heating are used correctly so that you have good visibility.
• Never use the air reclrculatlon mode for an extended period. If the cooling system Is switched off, the windows can mist up very quickly In air reclrculatlon mode and reduce visibility considerably.
• Always switch off the air reclrculatlon mode when it Is not required.
A WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which In turn can cause collisions, accidents and serious Inju-ries.
• Never switch off the blowers or switch on the air recirculatlon mode for an extended pe· riod as this prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.
• Switch off the air conditioning system if you suspect that it has been damaged. This can help to prevent secondary damage. The air conditioning system should be checked by a qualified workshop.
• Repairs to the air conditioning system re-quire specialist knowledge and special tools. Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles recommends using a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles deal-ership for this purpose.
• Do not insert any objects in the slots of the air outlets. This could cause damage to the air outlets.

A WARNING
Unsuitable spare parts and accessories, In-correctly carried out work, modifications and repairs can lead to damage to the vehicle and cause accidents and serious Injuries.
• Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles strongly recommends you use only approved Volks-wagen accessories and Volkswagen Genuine Parts®. These parts and accessories have been specially tested by Volkswagen Com-mercial Vehicles for suitability, reliability and safety.
• Repairs and modifications to your vehicle should only be carried out by a qualified workshop. Qualified workshops have the nec-essary tools, diagnostic equipment, repair In-formation and qualified personnel.
• Never fit parts to your vehicle that are In any way different from the factory-fitted parts.
• Never secure or mount objects such as drink holders or telephone holders on or next to the airbag covers or within the deployment zone of the airbag.
• Only use rim/tyre combinations which have been approved by Volkswagen Commer-cial Vehicles for your vehicle type. Running in a new engine
Any new engine has to be run in during the first 1 ,500 kilometres. During its first few hours of run-ning, the internal friction in the engine is greater than later on when all the moving parts have bed-ded down.
The style of driving during the first 1 ,500 kilometres will also affect the engine quality. Even after this time-and especially with a cold engine-drive the .,.

ensure that the mobile telephone is securely at-tached to the dash panel and always within reach of the driver. Depending on which hands-free sys-tem is installed, the connection between the mobile telephone and the external aerial is established ei-ther via the telephone holder or via an existing Bluetooth® connection between the mobile tele-phone and the vehicle.
Connecting the mobile telephone is to a telephone aerial integrated in the vehicle or to an external tel-ephone aerial reduces the electromagnetic radia-tion generated by the telephone which could affect the human body. Using an aerial also improves the quality of the signal.
If a mobile telephone is used in the vehicle interior without this hands-free system, it is not safely se-cured in the vehicle and also not connected to the vehicle's external telephone aerial. Furthermore, the mobile telephone is not being charged in the telephone holder. lt is also likely that the telephone connection will be disrupted and the signal strength will be poor.
No mobile telephone should be used in the vehicle unless it is connected to a hands-free unit. Volks-wagen Commercial Vehicles recommends the use of an external aerial when a mobile telephone is used in the vehicle.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue-tooth® SIG, Inc.
A WARNING
Any mobile telephone that Is not secured or is incorrectly secured In the vehicle could be flung though the Interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or In the event of an accident. This could cause Injuries.
• Mobile telephones, other devices and tele-phone accessories such as telephone hold-ers, notepads and portable navigation devi-ces must always be secured properly outside of the alrbag deployment zones or be stowed In a safe place whilst the vehicle Is In motion.
400 I Cleaning and maintenance
A WARNING
If mobile telephones or two-way radios that are not connected to an external aerial are used, electromagnetic radiation In the vehicle could exceed limit values and thus be a health hazard for drivers and other vehicle occupants. This also applies to external aer-ials which have not been correctly Installed.
• Keep mobile telephone aerials at least 20 cm away from pacemakers, as the telephones may affect their functioning.
• Do not carry a mobile telephone in your breast pocket above a pacemaker when the telephone Is switched on or In standby mode.
• Switch off the mobile telephone Immedi-ately If you suspect it may be Interfering with a pacemaker.
