Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual: Brake assistance

Volkswagen Touran Owners Manual / While driving / Driver assist systems / Park Assist system / Brake assistance

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warnings

The Park Assist system helps the driver by braking automatically. The automatic braking does not replace the driver's responsibility for the accelerator, brake and clutch .

Restricting speed to prevent cancellation due to excess speed

In order to prevent excess speed, braking intervention may occur. The parking procedure can be resumed. Braking intervention to restrict speed occurs once for each parking manoeuvre.

Braking to minimise damage

When approaching an obstacle, automatic braking intervention may occur. The Park Assist system may bring the vehicle to a standstill before the obstacle under certain conditions, e.g. weather, ultrasound detection, conditions of the car, load or incline.

Depress the brake pedal !

The Park Assist system is ended following braking intervention.

WARNING

Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the Park Assist system tempt you into taking any risks when driving – this can cause accidents. The system cannot replace the full concentration of the driver.

You should always be prepared to brake the vehicle yourself.

Automatic braking assistance is ended after approximately 1.5 seconds. Brake the vehicle yourself following the automatic braking intervention.
