Parking Steering Assistance

Parking Steering Assistance scans the space and maneuvers the vehicle in

Minimum size of parking space reduced

Some new refinements have been added to the Volkswagen “Park Assist” system which was launched two years ago: the upgraded system, which makes it easier to park in spaces oriented parallel to the roadway, can now also perform multiple-move parking maneuvers. The latest generation of Volkswagen’s successful Parking Steering Assistance makes parking in tight spaces child’s play. This enhanced technology highlight can already be ordered for the new Golf Plus, and will also be available in other models soon.

The latest generation of “Park Assist” is activated by pressing a button. The driver signals to the system the side of the street on which he or she wishes to park by activating the flasher on that side. As soon as the “Park Assist” system has located a suitable space at least 1.1 meters longer than the car to be parked, it notifies the driver via the multifunctional display. All further instructions the driver needs for reverse/forward maneuvering into a perfect parking position are given in the display. Like the original version of the system, which required a space at least 1.4 meters longer than the vehicle, the new “Park Assist” system steers the vehicle into the parking space independently. The driver retains control of the gas pedal, clutch and brake, and checks that everything is clear during the parking maneuver.
