Special features of ParkPilot
• In some cases, the ParkPilot registers water and ice on the ultrasound sensors as an obstacle.
• The acoustic warning will become quieter after a few seconds if the distance remains the same. The volume will remain constant if the signal tone is continuous.
• The intermittent signal tone switches off auto-matically as soon as the vehicle moves away from an obstacle again. If the vehicle approaches the obstade again, the acoustic warning is switched on automatically.
• No acoustic signal is given in vehicles with a dual clutch gearbox DSG® if the selector lever is in position P.

• The rear ultrasound ParkPilot sensors cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted towing bracket is electrically connected to the trailer.
• A Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles dealership can adjust the volume of the acoustic warning sig-nals.
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 .,..
