Volkswagen Caddy now parks itself

A Park Assist System is now available as an option on the Volkswagen Caddy

Park Assist is now available in the Volkswagen Caddy.

Volkswagen believes that this system, which allows the vehicle to choose the spot and to literally park itself, makes the Caddy even more suited to urban delivery traffic.

The feature is activated by pressing a button on the centre console at speed of up to 40kph.

The driver then uses the indicator to select which side of the road they want to park on.

Using ultrasonic sensors, the car finds a spot that is large enough to park in and the procedure begins.

All the driver has to do is put the car in reverse and work the accelerator or brake pedal, depending on the acoustic signals and visual information. The Caddy will steer itself.

The Park Assist system is available now as an option on nearly all versions of the Caddy – whether a van, combi or passenger vehicle, for an extra price of €643 + VAT. This includes ParkPilot acoustic warning signals from the front and rear.
