VW Optical Parking Sensors

The VW Front and Rear Optical Parking Sensors  is an Advanced Parking System consisting of eight ultrasonic sensors, providing all-round assistance when parking the car. As soon as the distance to an obstacle at the front or rear is closer than a preset minimum, an audible tone as well as a graphical illustration on the Radio/Navigation Screen provides a warning. The closer you get to an obstacle the faster the tone sounds until you’re less than 25cm away, where the tone becomes continuous. The system is activated automatically when obstacle is detected* or when reverse gear is engaged or manually by pressing the parking switch.
