Overview
ParkAssist from Volkswagen
This assist system is an active helper when you reverse
into parking spaces. This development is based on the
park distance control system that uses ultrasound
sensors and an acoustic warning to help the driver
judge the distance from other parked cars or
obstacles.
Further development stages for this kind of driver
assist system are, for example, the reversing camera
and the optical parking system that not only detects
an obstacle in front of or behind the vehicle, but also
obstacles position in the scanning area. In all these
systems, the vehicle is still steered by the driver.
However these systems simply help the driver judge
and determine the area around the vehicle.
S389_019
Important note
ParkAssist cannot replace the driver's attentiveness.
The drivers are still legally responsible for their vehicle. If they notices a risk that pedestrians, other
vehicles or objects could be damaged or if they are uncertain of the risk, they will need to react
accordingly and stop the vehicle ending the function.
System requirements
A vehicle equipped with ParkAssist has the following technical requirements:
- electromechanical power steering.
- an ESP brake system.
Distinguishing between the park distance control and parking steering function
ParkAssist has two functions:
- The PDC park distance control system that is also known as the parking aid system.
- the parking steering function for the active parking process.

Electromechanical power steering
Electromechanical power steering is one of the main requirement for installing ParkAssist.
It allows the control unit for parallel parking assist to steer actively and automatically using the electrical drive for
the power steering.

steering.

Function of ParkAssist
Parking procedure
The procedure for reversing into a parking space with ParkAssist can be broken down into four sections:
1. Activating ParkAssist
2. Finding a suitable parking space
3. Parking with the help of the parking steering function
4. Completing the parking procedure
1. Activating ParkAssist

To determine the passing angle, several lines can be monitored by the ParkAssist and compared with the
vehicle longitudinal axis:
1. a line that is formed by other parked cars
2. the kerb
3. walls
Only the line that is closest to the vehicle is used. This prevents misinterpretations,
if, for example, the kerb and walls are not parallel.
13
Function of ParkAssist
If the system does not find a sufficiently large parking
space, the roadside appears as a line of shaded
rectangles. If a parking space is large enough, it is
displayed as a free space between the shaded
rectangles. At the same time, the system checks
whether the vehicle is in the right position to enter the
parking space. This means the vehicle has been
driven far enough forward to reverse into the parking
space and the vehicle longitudinal axis is parallel to
the parking space or the roadside.

Function of ParkAssist
Special feature when reversing into parking spaces
on the left
On one-way streets or in certain car parks, it is often
possible to also park on the left-hand side of the road.
Therefore the ParkAssist system also has an
ultrasound sensor on the left-hand side of the vehicle
to measure parking spaces and carry out the parking
steering function to reverse into parking spaces on the
left.
So that the system recognises the side of the street on
which the driver wants to park, they will need to
inform the ParkAssist about this since it cannot check
and display both sides of the road at the same time.
S389_048
If you want to search for a parking space on the lefthand side, the driver simply needs to activate the turn
signal on the left to switchover the system.
The control unit now uses a second, stored set of
manoeuvring steps to carry out the parking steering
function.
These limitations underline the fact that the ParkAssist system cannot replace the awareness of the driver.
The driver is responsible.

S389_012
How it works
The eight sensors work in the same way as the two
senders for parking assistant steering G568 and
G569. They have a smaller scanning range and
scanning angle, however.
The sensors are placed so that their scanning
areas are overlapped slightly. There is therefore no
dead area where obstacles cannot be detected.
Signal use
The sensor signals are used both for the park
distance control and the ParkAssist. The two functions
involve the distance of the vehicle from other objects
in the vicinity of the vehicle being measured.
Effect upon failure
All eight sensors are capable of self-diagnosis.
A faulty sensor leads to failure of the whole system.

Actuators
Rear parking aid warning buzzer H15
Front parking aid warning buzzer H22
The warning buzzer H15 is in the boot at the rear
right. The warning buzzer H22 is to the left of the
steering column near to the control unit for parallel
parking assist.
The park distance control issues acoustic signals via
the buzzer at intervals that inform the driver how far
he is from an object when manoeuvring into a
parking space. If the signal sequence becomes a
continuous sound, this indicates that the smallest safe
distance from the object has been reached or
undershot.
Effect upon failure
Both buzzers are covered by the self-diagnosis
system. If one or both buzzers fail, the park distance
control (parking aid) will no longer be available for
the respective area in front of or behind the vehicle
and an entry will be in made in the fault memory.

Service
Diagnosis
The VAS 5051 vehicle diagnosis, measuring and
information system and the VAS 5052 vehicle
diagnosis and service information system are
available for the new ParkAssist system.

S395_059
S389_073
For more detailed information on the procedure and guided fault finding, please refer to chapter 7 of
the VAS 5051 operating manual.
Country-specific information
The ParkAssist system needs to be configured
differently for countries driving on the left than those
driving on the right.
The setting is made using the left-hand drive/righthand drive coding with the VAS 5051.
Among other things, the information for parking
on the right-hand or left-hand side of the road stored
in the control unit for parallel parking assist is
swapped over.
Please ensure that the vehicle is set to the correct coding from LHD to RHD after a stay in countries
that drive on the other side of the road.
