Special features of ParkPilot
- In some cases, the ParkPilot registers water and ice on the ultrasound sensors as an obstacle.
- The acoustic signal will become quieter after a few seconds if the distance remains the same. The volume will remain constant if the signal tone is continuous.
- As soon as the vehicle moves away from an obstacle again, the intermittent signal tone switches off automatically. If the vehicle approaches the obstacle again, the acoustic warning is switched on automatically.
- The ParkPilot cannot be switched on if the factory-fitted towing bracket is electrically connected to the trailer.
- No acoustic signal is given in vehicles with an automatic gearbox if the selector lever is in position P.
- A Volkswagen dealership can adjust the volume of the acoustic signals.
If there is a function fault in the ParkPilot, an acoustic warning is emitted for approximately 3 seconds when switched on for the first time. The ParkPilot should be checked by a qualified workshop immediately.
