There are 2 radar sensors next to the fog lights on the vehicle front
(3)
. These can detect moving
vehicles up to 590 ft (180 m) in front of your vehicle.
The areas of the sensors
(2)
and
(3)
and the camera
(1)
must not be spray painted on or covered by
stickers or other objects, since this can lead to a malfunction of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and
the Front Assist system.
NOTICE
If you notice that Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or Front Assist doesn't work properly or the
sensors are damaged, switch off ACC immediately.
Go see an authorized Volkswagen dealer or Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance and
have the ACC system checked.
The sensors can be damaged or become misaligned in low speed impacts and parking
maneuvers. Damaged or misaligned sensors can cause ACC or Front Assist to malfunction.
To help make sure that the system works properly, always keep the sensors clean, free of
snow and ice; do not cover the sensors with stickers or other objects.
When cleaning the sensors with power washers or steam cleaners, only spray the sensors
directly for a very short time, and always keep the washer nozzle at least 4 inches (10 cm) from
the sensors.
For Declaration of Compliance to United States FCC and Industry Canada regulations
Always keep the area of the Front Assist camera clear of ice and snow.
