Download Park Distance Control
Manual DescriptionIn this section you'll find information about, depending on equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with the Park Distance Control system (PDC), the Park Distance Control (PDC) system can help the driver when backing up parking, pDC uses ultrasonic sensors in the bumpers to measure the distance between vehicle.
Calculate the distance between the vehicle and an object, a Declaration of Compliance with United States FCC and Industry Canada regulations found, consumer information section of this Manual ⇒ Consumer information, park Distance Control is no substitute for careful and attentive driving.
On these systems for information about people and objects that might be in way, vehicle and could be struck resulting serious personal injuries, the sensors have blind spots in which they cannot detect people, animals, objects, always be careful and look around you when parking.
Certain types of clothing and the surfaces of certain objects do not reflect ultrasonic, waves that the sensors send and receive, will not be detected by PDC or will not be detected accurately, noise in the area can interfere with the signals of the Park Distance Control sensors.
Under certain circumstances, the system will not detect people and objects reason, things like trailer draw bars, thin rods, fences, trees, narrow painted vertical poles, posts, or a rear hatch that is opening may not be detected by the Park Distance Control sensors, if you continue driving closer to an object that the Park Distance Control has already.
Detected and reported, the object may disappear from the sensor range and may no longer be, result in serious damage vehicle, objects that might be within range PDC system, to help make sure that the system works properly, always keep the sensors bumpers.
Clean and free of snow and ice; do not cover the sensors with stickers other objects, when cleaning the sensors with power washers or steam cleaners, only spray sensors, directly for a very short time, and always keep the washer nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm), noise from rough roads, cobblestones, other vehicles and surrounding area.
Example, can prevent the Park Distance Control system accurately detecting, reporting people and objects that may be within range sensors, aftermarket components such as bicycle racks can impair the function Park Distance, volkswagen recommends practicing with the Park Distance Control system location.
Parking space with no traffic in order to become familiar with the system how it works, Please first read and note the introductory information heed WARNINGS, the Park Distance Control (PDC) uses ultrasonic sensors to determine the distance front, additional sensors in the front bumper (A) ⇒ fig.
The intermittent and permanent signal chimes given by the front PDC sensors are higher pitch, than those given by the rear PDC sensors, the warning signals can be adjusted in the Infotainment system menu ⇒ Infotainment system, switching the Park Distance Control (PDC) system off.
Operation (when the ignition switched on), press a function selection button factory-installed Infotainment, oR: Depending on vehicle equipment, when vehicle rolls, oR: Drive forward faster than about 5–10 mph (10–15 km/h).
The indicator light in the button ⇒ fig, when the PDC is activated automatically, a mini PDC display will appear on the left-hand side, automatic activation of the PDC when driving slowly towards an obstacle located in front vehicle, only works when the speed falls below about 6–9 mph (10–15 km/h) for the first time.
Switched off using the button, performing one of the following actions with ignition switched, if the vehicle accelerates to a speed greater than 6–9 mph (10–15 km/h) and then drops below that, oR: if automatic activation is activated and deactivated in Infotainment system menu, automatic activation with mini PDC display can be activated and deactivated Infotainment.
When automatic activation is activated, signal chimes are sounded from a distance about 20 inches, never rely completely on the PDC for information about people and objects that might be, the PDC sensors have blind spots where they cannot detect people objects.
