2 Answers
To use the automatic parking in Golf 7: When the automatic parking is activated, step on the brake pedal, and the car will automatically engage the handbrake, eliminating the need to continuously press the brake pedal or manually pull the handbrake. Taking the 2021 Golf 7 as an example, it is a compact car with the following dimensions: length 4296mm, width 1788mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2636mm, fuel tank capacity 51l, and curb weight 1310kg. The 2021 Golf 7 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116PS, maximum power of 85kW, and maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Using the automatic parking function in my Golf 7 is quite convenient. First, I press the AUTO PARK button on the center console to activate the system, then drive slowly below 30 km/h while the system scans both sides of the road for empty spaces using radar. When a suitable parallel or perpendicular parking spot is found, the dashboard displays a prompt, and I confirm by pressing the selection button—the system then automatically controls the steering wheel. My job is to operate the accelerator and brake to control the vehicle's speed, with the system providing audible prompts throughout the process. After parking, remember to engage the electronic handbrake and turn off the system. This feature is especially useful in urban traffic, avoiding the hassle of finding a spot, though it takes a few practices to get the hang of it. Never use it on muddy roads or during heavy snowfall, as the sensors may malfunction—safety first. Now, I use this function on every trip, saving a lot of time and effort.
