Questions & answers
Park Assist system — Volkswagen Golf Mk7
What does the Golf Mk7 Park Assist system do?
It uses ultrasonic sensors to find a suitable parking space, then steers the car into it automatically. The driver controls the accelerator, brake and gear — the car handles the steering.
Can the Golf Mk7 Park Assist park in both parallel and perpendicular spaces?
Yes. It can detect and park into spaces parallel to the road and perpendicular (nose-in) spaces, provided the space is large enough for the car.
Can the Golf Mk7 Park Assist also help me leave a parallel space?
Yes. A dedicated function steers the car out of a parallel parking space. The driver activates the indicator in the direction of the road and controls speed and braking.
