Available Functions for Park Assist Plus with Remote Control
In the case of a parallel parking space, the vehicle is positioned so that the driver must fully drive out of the parking space.
Available functions for Park Assist Plus with remote control with memory function
The driver should continuously monitor the area surrounding the vehicle→
.
Automatic braking support may intervene if there are obstacles in the vehicle's path or in dangerous situations (→ Automatic braking support) .
WARNING
Park Assist Plus with remote control is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. The parking system cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, or may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.
WARNING
The system only has limited reactions to quickly changing environmental conditions. This can result in collisions with other road users, damage to the vehicle and serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
During automatic parking, the vehicle may swing out or turn into oncoming traffic. This may lead to vehicle damage and serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
If the road is icy, the parking process cannot be properly carried out and the vehicle may slide away. This may lead to accidents resulting vehicle damage and serious injuries.
NOTICE
The parking system may suggest parking spaces that are not suitable for the parking process due to the absence of a boundary or presence of adjacent objects. This can result in vehicle damage.
Volkswagen App for Park Assist with Remote Control
The Volkswagen app for Park Assist Plus with remote control is available from
the respective app stores→
, →
.
WARNING
If an incompatible cell phone is used, this may result in functional limitations, e.g. delayed reaction of the vehicle during a remote-controlled parking process. Damage to the vehicle and/or serious injuries may occur.
CAUTION
If the mobile phone is damaged in any way (e.g. the touchscreen is broken) or its functions are limited (e.g. reactions are delayed during operation), this can impair the remote-controlled parking process. This could result in accidents with vehicle damage and injuries.
CAUTION
Technical manipulation by the user can impair the remote-controlled parking process. This could result in accidents with vehicle damage and injuries.
The cell phone must be paired with the vehicle via Bluetooth once.
For subsequent use of the Volkswagen app, the cell phone only needs to be connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth.
Pairing the Cell Phone with the Vehicle
The cell phone is paired.
Cancel the pairing between the cell phone and the vehicle
Park Assist with remote control is no longer possible once the pairing in the app or in the vehicle has been removed.
The data from the cell phone and the app can be removed in the Infotainment system.
To completely cancel the pairing, also remove the vehicle from the Volkswagen app.
Requirements
Driving into parking spaces
If the
function
key is displayed on the parking system screen, the parking process can be
performed via cell phone.
The
symbol lights up white and the function is activated.
Once the parking process has been completed, a message appears in the Volkswagen app.
The electronic parking brake is switched on in the vehicle and the vehicle's drive system is deactivated.
WARNING
If the driver is too far away from the vehicle, the parking process may be canceled. Accidents and/or serious injuries may occur.
Exiting a parking space
This function is only available for Park Assist Plus.
WARNING
When you maneuver out of a parking space, there is a danger of pulling into moving traffic. Accidents and serious or fatal injuries may occur.
Rear Traffic Alert monitors the cross traffic when reversing out of a space or maneuvering.
System function
Fig. 1 Monitored area around the vehicle that is exiting a parking space
(general example).
Radar sensors behind the cover of the rear bumper monitor the rear and side areas of the vehicle.
In the even of approaching or moving objects, the driver is warned of an
obstacle → fig. 2 , →
.
If there is an obstacle, a warning signal will sound and there will be a colored display of the area of the obstacle in the Infotainment system → fig. 2 .
If the driver does not respond, automatic braking support may kick in (→ Automatic braking support) .
WARNING
Rear Traffic Alert is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. All approaching objects, e.g. pedestrians or objects approaching quickly, may not be detected. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.
Switching on and off
This setting can be saved in the driver personalization user profiles and can be changed automatically when the user account is switched.
Screen display
Fig. 2 Infotainment system: Rear Traffic Alert display(general example).
Red section of the image: Nearby
obstacle. The vehicle is at risk. Brake!
Yellow
section of the image: Obstacle in the path of the vehicle. The vehicle is at
risk. Steer around the obstacle.
Calibration
The radar sensors calibrate once, on the first kilometer of a journey after the vehicle is delivered, and then again if the sensor technology has been repaired. The range of the sensors may be limited during the calibration phase.
Driving with a trailer
Rear Traffic Alert cannot be activated if a trailer is connected to the electrical system.
If the trailer has been disconnected, the Rear Traffic Alert is reactivated after switching on the ignition.
If the trailer hitch was not installed at the factory, Rear Traffic Alert must be manually deactivated when towing a trailer.
Braking assistance systems can stabilize the vehicle in critical driving or braking situations and increase driving safety.
The driver is always responsible for safe driving →
.
WARNING
Braking assistance systems cannot replace the driver's attention and can only operate within the limitations of the system. Fast driving on icy, slippery, or wet roads, as well as following the vehicle ahead too closely, may impair the vehicle stability and cause you to lose control of the vehicle. If you are careless, there is a risk of accidents, serious injuries and death.
When the ignition is switched on, the condition of the braking functions is automatically checked. The indicator lights will come on briefly and then turn off. If an indicator light remains on permanently, there is a malfunction. Contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility immediately. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.
WARNING
The effectiveness of the ESC may be reduced considerably if other components and systems that affect driving dynamics have not been maintained correctly or are malfunctioning. This applies especially to changes to the suspension and unapproved rim/tire combinations. Accidents and serious or fatal injuries could result.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC
is regulating the vehicle to reduce the risk of skidding and improve driving
stability →
. The indicator light
flashes yellow.
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
ASR
is regulating the vehicle to reduce the risk of the wheels spinning. The
indicator light flashes yellow.
ASR
reduces drive power at wheels that are spinning and adapts the drive power to
the road conditions. ASR makes it
easier to start, accelerate, and drive up hills →
.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS
prevents the wheels from locking during braking so that the vehicle can be
steered →
.
Brake Assist System (BAS)
BAS
can help to reduce the vehicle braking distance. BAS increases braking power
when the driver presses the brake pedal
quickly in emergency situations →
.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDL)
EDS automatically applies the brakes to a wheel that starts spinning and transfers the drive power to the other driving wheels.
XDS is an extension of the electronic differential lock, and improves traction with braking support to help keep the vehicle in its lane.
Multi Collision Brake
The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System automatically brakes the vehicle if the airbag control module has detected a collision in an accident situation.
Requirements for automatic braking:
Electronic braking distribution (EBD)
The electronic braking distribution (EBD ) regulates the braking force between the front axle and the rear axle, even outside ofA BS regulation. Overbraking of the rear axle is avoided and the vehicle remains stable when braking.
Electromechanical brake booster (eBB)
The electromechanical brake booster (eBB
) supports the foot pressure only when the ignition is switched on and enhances
the pressure applied to the brake
pedal by the driver →
. In case of
braking support by a driver assistance system, such as during control by theA CC
or during emergency braking, the brake pedal may move itself.
After switching off the ignition, braking assistance will be gradually reduced. If the vehicle is still being held by the brake pedal, text messages will appear on the instrument cluster display. Brake support is limited in this case.
Secure the stationary vehicle against rolling away (→ Parking) .
WARNING
Driving without the brake booster or when the brake booster's system function is limited can increase the braking distance significantly. This may lead to accidents resulting in serious or fatal injuries.
Brake blending
Brake blending takes control between the electric motor braking efficiency during energy recuperation and the driver's mechanical braking.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the ESC braking system can be switched to a sport mode.
Driving situations
In order to avoid risks, the brake systems should not be switched off under
normal conditions→
.
WARNING
When ASR is restricted or ESC Sport is switched on, the risk of the vehicle swerving is significantly higher. The vehicle can be difficult for inexperienced drivers to handle at high speeds. Accidents and serious or fatal injuries could result.
Switching on and off
If the setting is no longer being used, you should completely switch off the
braking assistance system again→
.
ASR Sport
Vehicles with rear-wheel drive: It can be helpful to switch on ASR
Sport when the vehicle is driven on loose ground or when "rocking" the vehicle
out of place because it is stuck →
.
This function is available via the ASR off setting in the ESC system drop-down list in the Infotainment system.
ASR Sport
switched on. The yellow indicator light turns on.
ESC Sport
Vehicles with all-wheel drive: The function assists with sporty driving. The
ESC
intervenes later to stabilize the vehicle, e.g. during fast cornering →
.
ESC
Sport switched on. The yellow indicator light turns on.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the ESC braking control system can also be switched to an ESC sport mode on vehicles with a rear-wheel drive.
Troubleshooting
Electromechanical brake servo failure
Do not
continue driving!
The red warning light turns on.
A message is displayed if necessary. Press the brake pedal harder, as the lack of braking assistance will increase the braking distance.
Electromechanical brake booster malfunction
The yellow indicator light turns on.
A message is displayed for a few seconds.
The brake pedal might pulse when pressed.
ABS
failure or malfunction
The yellow indicator light turns on.
The vehicle can be braked without ABS
ESC
malfunction
The yellow indicator light turns on. ESC has been switched off.
There is a fault or malfunction.
Noises in the braking assistance systems
When the braking assistance systems are actively regulating, the brake pedal may move or noises may occur.
WARNING
If the
brake warning light comes on
together with the indicator light, the regulating function of the ABS
could be malfunctioning. This can cause the rear wheels to lock when braking.
This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle and lead to accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
WARNING
If the
indicator light does not
turn off, or comes on during the journey, theA BS
is not working correctly. The vehicle can only be stopped with the normal
brakes. If the ABS is restricted, this may
lead to accidents causing damage to the vehicle and serious or fatal injuries.
