It has become known that Volkswagen has improved the warning system for approaching road users when leaving the car. The system is now included as standard on the electric ID.702, the new Passat and Tiguan. In Golf, ID.4 and ID.5 it is only available as an option
To a greater extent, it is needed to warn of the approach of a cyclist or scooter passing in close proximity to the car. Over the past few years, there have been more and more cases of people using personal mobility devices (PIMs) colliding with a car door opening. Often such incidents result in serious injury to both drivers.
This system consists of two radar sensors that are located on the edges of the rear bumper. They read the situation happening behind the car and warn with a signal in case of danger. The indicator on the side rear view mirrors also lights up for the driver and front passenger. In addition, the system remains active for three minutes after parking and turning off the car.
