of dirt or snow and not covered.

If the driver does not respond to the reminder, the

system may deactivate temporarily.

NOTICE

Steering wheel vibration

In order to help keep Lane Assist working properly:

Certain situations will cause the steering wheel to

vibrate and demand active steering intervention by

the driver:

Always keep the windshield in front of the camera

free of ice, dirt, snow, and other things that could

reduce its field of view.

— If the corrective steering intervention is not suffi-

cient to keep the vehicle in its lane.

Regularly check the windshield and especially the

area around the camera for damage.

— If the system no longer detects a lane during

a strong corrective steering intervention.

Never attach or mount any accessories or other

items to the steering wheel.

WARNING

If Lane Assist does not work properly and as

described here or if there is a system fault,

have the system checked by an authorized Volkswa-

gen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facili-

ty.

Failure to heed warning lights or other warnings

can result in a collision and serious personal injury.

Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.

Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to

do so.

Blind Spot Monitor

NOTICE

Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS

can result in vehicle damage.

Introduction

If there is a malfunction, Lane Assist is auto-

matically deactivated.

Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be

equipped with the Blind Spot Monitor system.

The Blind Spot Monitor monitors the area next to

and behind your vehicle with the help of radar sen-

sors behind the rear bumper on the left and right

→ page 7, Rear view. The system measures the dis-

tance and the speed difference to the other vehicles

around you. If the Blind Spot Monitor detects one or

more vehicles in the monitored area, indicator lights

come on in the outside mirrors.

Tips and troubleshooting

Please read the introductory information and

heed the Warnings and Notice

on page 171.

If there is no camera image, an error message, or

the system switches itself off

Physical and system limitations

Use the Blind Spot Monitor only on paved roads.

— Clean the windshield → page 310, Exterior care

and cleaning.

In certain situations, the Blind Spot Monitor may not

interpret the traffic situation correctly. These situa-

tions may include:

— Check for visible damage on the windshield in the

camera's field of view.
