β Camera images displayed on the screen are only
two-dimensional. Due to a lack of spatial depth,
those objects that protrude or cavities in the road,
for example, can only be seen with difficulty or not
at all.
The representation of the camera has zones
dead in which you cannot detect people or
objects.
Keep the camera lens always clean and
do not cover it.
NOTICE
WARNING
In parking spaces without a curb, keep a distance of
50 cm from walls and buildings to avoid damage to
the vehicle.
The intelligent technology of parking systems
cannot overcome the limits imposed by physical
laws and only works within the limits of the systems.
Never allow the greater comfort provided by parking
systems to induce you to take risks that compromise
safety. Parking systems cannot replace driver
attention.
NOTICE
Automatic parking systems refer to parked vehicles,
curbs and other objects. Make sure that neither the
tires nor the rims are damaged when parking. If
necessary, interrupt the parking maneuver in good
time to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Β· Always adapt your speed and driving style to the
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
To familiarize yourself with the parking systems
and their functions, Volkswagen recommends
practicing your driving in a place without too much
traffic or in a car park.
Always supervise the parking maneuver
and the environment of the vehicle.
Β· Always keep the surroundings of the vehicle under
control, since the parking systems do not always
detect small children, animals or certain objects.
