Park Assist does it only work on one side?
« on: 30 September 2009, 10:07 »
Not having ordered park assist or being interested in it as I thought it was a dear gimmick, does it work on both sides of the car or just near side?

Yes, it does. More than a gimmick though - it's part of the gradual automation of driving.

You would think they would just have enabled it for both sides, for all it would have taken. Plus it would have enabled the bumper to be used right across the range instead of just on RHD cars.

I'm astounded!! I never contemplated getting it, though, seeing as how I have been parallel parking by myself for nearly 30 years with no difficulty.

It parks either side.  If you want the right hand side then you move the indicator stalk over to the right.  Left hand side is default

If your not interested Passa, why ask??

Is that directed at me?
Just because I am not interested doesn't mean I'm not allowed to voice my opinion. The forums would be a bore if that was the case and we would never have had a DSG v manual thread for that matter.

I wouldn't get it either. But in 30 years you might have people on the roads who have never parked a car by themselves... :shocked: or changed gear either :grin:
