Area View is not working as expected Possible reasons: – The sensor is dirty → page 206. Dirt, ice, deter- gent deposits, or coatings can impact the view of radar sensor. – The prerequisites for system operation are not met. – The vehicle is damaged in the area around the sensors. This may be caused by parking colli- sions. Fig. 101 Display in Infotainment system:
Area de- tected by Park Distance Control (depending on vehi- cle type) – The detection range of the sensors is impaired by add-on parts, number plate holders with trim frames or stickers, e.g. bicycle carriers. Only when the Area View camera is activated, the detection area of the Park Distance Control is displayed. → Fig. 101 – Changes have been made to the paintwork in the area of the sensors, e.g. on the chassis. When the vehicle approaches an obstacle, it is divided into multiple segments in the infotain- ment system to display and emit alarm sounds at the same time. → Fig. 100 The display along the side of the vehicle may may different depending on the situation.
– The ultrasound signal is subject to interference from external noise sources, e.g. uneven roads or cobblestones. Fault information, the parking system has been switched off The sensor area is switched off permanently if a sensor fails. Displays Red-coloured image segment: close obstacle. The vehicle is at risk. take over control of the vehicle and be prepared to brake. If there is a fault in the Park Distance Control, a signal tone will sound for several seconds, and the indicator lamp in the button will flash when the system is initially activated. Yellow-coloured image segment: obstacle in the vehicle path. An in- termittent warning sound is soun- ded.
The closer the distance, the shorter the warning sound interval. The vehicle is at risk. Adjust the steering wheel angle! Possible solutions – Switch off the system temporarily. – Check whether the above causes are involved. – Clean the sensors or remove any labels and ac- cessories from the sensors and cameras → page 206. White-coloured image segment:ob- stacle outside the path of the vehi- cle. – Check for any damage. – Switch the system on again once you have rec- tified the source of the fault. – If the issue persists, go to a correspondingly qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen dealership. Red-coloured image segment: close obstacle. Do not drive on!
