ParkPilot signal tones and displays . 290
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.
Additional information and warnings:
• Exterior views =:o page 5
• Braking, stopping and parking =:o page 269
• Reversing camera (Rear Assist) =:o page 291
• Cleaning and caring for the vehicle exterior =:.page 380
• Accessories, modifications, repairs and renewal of parts =:o page 394
• Radio or navigation system =:o Booklet Radio, provision for mobile telephone, infotainment sys-tem, navigation system
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.

r--('n First read and observe the introductory L-J,:.U information and safety warnings & on page 298.
A radar sensor is fitted to the front bumper to moni-tor the traffic situation 240 @.Vehicles trav-elling ahead can thus be detected up to a distance of approximately 120 m.
The efficacy of the radar sensor can be impaired by contamination such as slush or snow. or by en-vironmental conditions such as heavy rain or spray. This means that the adaptive cruise control (ACC) also will not work. The instrument cluster display shows the message ACC: No distance con-trol ! . Clean the radar sensors as required
The adaptive cruise control (ACC) will automatical-ly be available again as soon as the radar sensors are no longer impaired. The message on the in-strument cluster display goes out. and the adaptive cruise control (ACC) can be reactivated.
A WARNING (Continued)
• Never ignore any illuminated warning lamps or text messages.
CD
Failure to observe illuminated indicator lamps and text messages can lead to your vehicle be-Ing damaged.
m When the adaptive cruise control (ACC) is L!..J switched on, some system-related displays on the instrument cluster can be overwritlen by other functions, e.g. incoming telephone calls. Strong reflected radiation of the radar signal, e.g. in multi-storey car parks, can impair the function of the adaptive cruise control (ACC).
The area in front of and around the radar sensor ® must not be covered by objects such as stick-ers, auxiliary headlights, face plates for number plates or the like, as this can impair the function of the adaptive cruise control (ACC).
Any structural modifications to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the vehicle or making alterations to the front end trim, can impair the function of the adap-tive cruise control (ACC). Structural modifications should therefore always be carried out by a quali-fied workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership for this purpose.
Incorrectly performed repairs to the front end of the vehicle can alter the position of the radar sensor and therefore impair the function of the adaptive cruise control (ACC). Repair work should therefore only be carried out by a qualified workshop. Volks-wagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealer-ship for this purpose.
CD
Switch off the adaptive cruise control (ACC) If you suspect that the radar sensor has been damaged or is incorrectly positioned. This can help to prevent secondary damage. Have the radar sensor realigned.
• The radar sensor could be moved if it is hit, for example in parking manoeuvres. Readjust-Ing the sensor could impair the performance of the system or cause it to be switched off. 11>
