General Information

• Additional information:

refer to the Owner's Manual.

The parking aid system in the Passat CC is an 8-channel system with 4 ultrasonic parking aid sensors installed in the rear bumper and 4 in the front bumper or radiator grille.

The parking aid system monitors the vehicle periphery via ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers. The acoustic distance indicator sounds via two warning buzzers in the passenger compartment.

Should a trailer be used (that is compatible with the factory-installed trailer wiring), the rear parking aid sensors are disabled. The front sensors remain active.

The 8-channel parking aid system consists of:

• Parking aid control module (J446)

• Left front parking aid sensor (G255)

• Left front center parking aid sensor (G254)

• Right front center parking aid sensor (G253)

• Right front parking aid sensor (G252)

• Left rear parking aid sensor (G203)

• Left rear center parking aid sensor (G204)

• Right rear center parking aid sensor (G205)

• Right rear parking aid sensor (G206)

• Front parking aid warning buzzer (H22)

• Rear parking aid warning buzzer (H15)

• Parking aid button (E266)

• Parking aid switch illumination bulb (L117)

Function

To switch on, press the parking aid button or engage the reverse gear when the ignition is switched on. To switch off, press the parking aid button again (the indicator lamp in the button switches off) or drive forward at approximately 15 km/h (9 mph).

When the parking aid system is ready, a short signal is sounded and the function light lights up. If a malfunction is detected in the system, a constant signal sounds for 5 seconds and the function lamp for parking aid system blinks.

During the distance measurement, the pauses between chime impulses get shorter as the gap between vehicles gets smaller. At proximity of less than 30 cm, a continuous tone is heard. Exception: Driving along a wall = no warning.

DTC Recognition and Display

The Parking Aid Control Module (J446) is equipped with On Board Diagnostics (OBD) which assists troubleshooting.

The "Guided Fault Finding" function is to be used for troubleshooting of the systems as described in => [ Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information Systems ] Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information Systems.

Use output diagnostic test mode to test the parking aid system.
