Volkswagen Multivan 2024 - General Information

Limitsofsensorsandcameras
Therearevarioussensorsandcamerasonthevehiclewhichdetectandmonitortheareaaroundthevehiclebymeans
ofultrasound,radarwavesandopticalsystems.Thevariousparkingsystemsusedifferentcombinationsofthe
sensors.Commontoallsensorsisthefactthattheyaresubjecttotechnicalandphysicallimits → .
—Thesensorsorcamerasmaynotdetectsomeobjects,e.g.trailerdrawbars,thinbars,fences,posts,trees,verylow
orhighobstacles,andbootlidsthatareopenorbeingopened.
—Thedetectionrangesofthesensorshaveblindspotsinwhichobstaclesandpeoplearenotregistered.
—Insomecases,dirtoriceandwateronthesensorsandcamerascouldberegisteredasanobstacleorimpair
detectionofobjects.Thesensorvisibilitymaybeimpairedbydirtandsnoworalsoresiduefromcleaningagentsor
coatings.
—Externalsourcesofsoundandcertainsurfacesonobjectsandclothingmayinfluencethesensors’signals.In
certaincircumstances,thesystemswillbeunabletodetectorproperlydetectpeopleandobjects.
—Itmaybedifficultorimpossibletoseeobjectssuchasnarrowpostsorrailingsonthescreenbecauseofitslow
resolutionorpoorlightconditions.
—Thecamerasshowonlytwo-dimensionalimagesonthescreen.Thelackofdepthoffieldmeansthatpotholesand
protrudingobjectsonthegroundmayonlybedetectedwithdifficulty,ormaynotbedetectedatall.
Practiseusingtheparkingsystemsinatraffic-calmedareaorcarparktofamiliariseyourselfwiththesystems
andtheirfunctions.
Generalinformation
Thefollowingprerequisitesmustbemetsothatthesensorsandcamerasarebestabletodetectthesurroundingsof
thevehicleanddisplaythisinformationontheInfotainmentsystem:
✓ Doorsandtailgateareclosed.
✓ Exteriormirrorsarenotfoldedin.
✓ Thesensorsorcamerasarenotcoveredbyadd-onpartsortrimframesfornumberplates.
✓ Thesurroundingareahasaflatsurface.
✓ Vehicledoesnothaveaheavyloadattherearorononeside.
✓ Enginerunning.
✓ Brakesupportsystemsareswitchedon (→Brakesupportsystems) .
Theparkingfunctionandtheacousticwarningswillbedeactivatedifotherfunctionsareoperatedonthe
Infotainmentsystemduringaparkingoperation.
Findingasuitableparkingspace
ParkAssisthassystem-relatedlimitations.Forexample,ParkAssistcannothelpyoutoparkthevehicleordriveoutof
parkingspacesifthevehicleisonatightbend.
Toensurethatasuitableparkingspacecanbedisplayedanddetectedcorrectly,thefollowingprerequisitesmustbe
met:
✓ Thelengthandwidthoftheparkingspacemustbelargerthanthevehicledimensionsandoffersufficientspace
formanoeuvring.
✓ Distancewhendrivingpasttheparkingspace:between0.5and2metres.
✓ Speedwhendrivingpasttheparkingspace:maximum40km/h(25mph).
