HOW IT WORKS
The "Rear View" reversing camera displays the area behind the car and assists the driver
when reversing.
SYSTEM INFORMATION
• The system is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged
• An integrated camera at the rear provides pictures of the bumper and of the area
behind the car, transmitting them to the screen of the infotainment system
• Superimposed coloured lines provide additional guidance:
green lines = area behind the car
o
yellow lines = course with the current steering wheel position
o
red line = stop line
o
• The closer the obstacle comes, the greater the frequency of the audible signals
• When the distance from the obstacle is less than 30 cm the audible signal becomes
continuous
• The distance from obstacles is also shown in graphic form on the screen of the
infotainment system
The reverse camera is located at the rear of the vehicle. In most vehicles, it is located under the pivoting VW logo. The
location helps to keep the camera free from dirt and debris. On models without the pivoting VW logo, the camera is located
next to the rear lid/trunk opening switch.
When the selector lever is moved into Reverse, the camera
activates. It captures the video signal, and overlays the
colored "helper" lines. It sends this combined signal to the
Information Electronics Control Module 1 J794, which in
turn relays it to the Front Information Display Control Head
J685 for the driver to view.
