VW Trailer Assist How-To

Mar 18, 2015

Volkswagen will be releasing a series of ‘How To’ videos that will provide an explanation on utilizing some of the advanced driver assist features that can be found on today’s models. In Part 1, the automaker offers a detailed overview on how to use the Trailer Assist feature. This innovative feature offers drivers a virtual set of eyes in the back of their vehicle that help them to seamlessly backup with trying to do so with a bulky trailer attached to the back of their vehicle.

Trailer Assist was originally developed from the existing Park Assist technology that first emerged back in 2007. The new technology was then tailored in order to take that same technology and apply it specifically to providing assistance to drivers trying to park and/or maneuver around with a trailer.

This new technology is available on the new VW Passat, check out the video above to see how it works and check out the full breakdown on the features found in Volkswagen Magazine!
