Please first read and note the introductory information and
The radar sensors in the rear bumper can be damaged or
become misaligned in low-speed impacts and parking
maneuvers. The system can switch itself off or may be
impaired as a result.
Always keep the rear bumper clean and free of snow and ice
so that the radar sensors can function properly. Do not cover
the radar sensor area.
The rear bumper may only be painted with vehicle paint that is
approved by Volkswagen. Other paints may impair the function
of the Blind Spot Monitor or cause it to malfunction.
Sunlight may reduce the visibility of the indicator light in the
outside mirror.
