Introduction

Park Assist (Park Assist Plus) with memory function helps drivers to park in parking spaces they frequently use, e.g.

garages and driveways. The Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle automatically maneuvers toward a parking space on a previously saved vehicle path

The availability of Park Assist Plus with memory function depends on the vehicle equipment.

System function

Park Assist Plus with memory function is an extension of Park Assist( Park Assist Plus).

The parking system uses the front camera to detect the surrounding area and saves the vehicle path to the parking space over a maximum distance of approx. 50 m (approx. 164 ft). Once the parking process has been saved in the Infotainment system, the vehicle can automatically drive the route to or from the parking space.

The driver should continuously monitor the area surrounding the Volkswagen ID.3 vehicle→ .

Automatic braking support may intervene if there are obstacles in the vehicle's path or in dangerous situations (→ Automatic braking support) .

Automatic, hands-free parking with Park Assist Plus with memory function may be prohibited or limited in some regions. Use Park Assist Plus with memory function only where permitted by legal provisions

Requirements

• There are geocoordinates available for the vehicle position.

• There is enough space to maneuver in. The vehicle may need to move a few meters to reach the calibrated vehicle path.

Driving with a Bicycle Rack

Park Assist Plus with memory function cannot be activated if a bicycle rack is connected electrically to the factoryinstalled bicycle rack mount.

WARNING

Park Assist Plus with memory function is not a replacement for the driver's attention and works only within the system limitations. Park Assist Plus with memory function cannot detect all driving situations and may not react, or may react with a delay, or may react in a way that is not desired.
