Hi

The information on the VW web site is quite concise so I get that it watches the cars blind spots when you're changing lanes but on some cars I've read about it also helps when reversing out of car park spaces into the "lane" to see if someone is approaching along the "lane".

So as the subject line says, what does the VW system do?

Many thanks!

Spoke to my local dealer and they say that side scan only monitors your blind spot while changing lanes. It doesn't monitor as you reverse out of a parking space in the car park thought the parking sensors might help.

So I think that answers my question unless any of you existing owners know differently.

It's "rear traffic alert" that monitors cars behind you etc when u reverse out of a parkingspot.

Check it out on YouTube
