Sensors and Cameras
Incorrectly performed repairs, structural changes to the vehicle, e.g. lowering the suspension, retrofitted add- on parts or changes to the trim can lead to sensors and cameras being displaced or damaged. This can interfere with important functions of driver assist systems.
- Observe the positions of sensors and cameras in the vehicle overviews.
Add-on parts or modifications in the area of sensors and cameras
WARNING
If the area in front of and around sensors and cameras is covered, e.g. by number plates, number plate holders with trim frames, additionally applied films or paintwork on the sensors and similar, this may prevent correct functioning of the driver assist systems. Failure of the driver assist systems can lead to accidents and cause serious or fatal injuries.
- Do not apply any additional films in front of or around sensors.- Install the number plate or the number plate holder with trim frame only in the intended position. Always consult a suitably qualified workshop if you want to fit a number plate or number plate holder with trim frame. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.
NOTICE
Incorrect installation of number plates and number plate holders with trim frames can damage components, e.g. cables or sensors.
- Install the number plate or the number plate holder with trim frame only in the intended position. Always consult a suitably qualified workshop if you want to fit a number plate or number plate holder with trim frame. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.
On some vehicle models, the Volkswagen badge can impair the view of the radar sensor in the front area. You should therefore operate the vehicle only with the original Volkswagen badge or a badge approved by Volkswagen.
Damage in the area of sensors and cameras
WARNING
If the area around sensor and cameras is damaged, e.g. by stone chips or impacts when parking, this can prevent the driver assist systems from functioning correctly. Failure of the driver assist systems can lead to accidents and cause serious or fatal injuries.
- Have the component replaced by a suitably qualified workshop in the event of damage in the area of the sensors and cameras. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.
After replacement of components, the sensors and cameras may have to be adjusted and calibrated by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.
If the windscreen has been damaged in the viewing field of the sensors and camera, e.g. by stone chips, the windscreen must be replaced. Repair of the stone chip damage can lead to malfunctions or functional faults in
the driver assist systems. After replacing the windscreen, the camera and sensors must be adjusted and calibrated by a suitably qualified workshop. Volkswagen recommends contact with an ID. UNYX Service Center.
