Where is the automatic parking button on Golf 8?
2 Answers
Golf 8's automatic parking button is located on the panel next to the driver's seat. The method and precautions for automatic parking are introduced as follows: Automatic parking method: Drive at a speed below 30 km/h and press the intelligent parking button on the panel next to the driver's seat. The vehicle will automatically search for nearby parking spaces. When the central control screen displays the parking space information, select "Confirm," then choose forward or reverse based on the position, engage the gear, and adjust the position to park. Precautions for automatic parking: When using automatic parking, keep your foot on the brake pedal to prevent sudden loss of control or failure to detect obstacles. On icy or snowy roads, the automatic parking system may not recognize ground parking lines, making automatic parking unavailable.
When it comes to the automatic parking feature of the Golf 8, I drive this car often and always press the button with the P icon on the right side of the steering wheel when I want to park. The system activates immediately, and a prompt pops up on the dashboard, instructing you to slowly drive past the parking space. After scanning, it tells you to brake and select R or D gear, then just follow the audio and visual cues to operate the steering wheel and throttle. I've tried it several times in tight spots in my neighborhood—it accurately detects the space, saving me the hassle of manual reverse parking, which is especially useful at night when visibility is poor. However, you need to keep the speed below 30 km/h for the system to work properly. Once activated, stay focused and ready to brake at any time. Although the system is smart, it's still an assist feature and not foolproof. I recommend new users read the manual to get familiar with it—it’s easy to master, almost like playing a mobile game.
