Hi All,

Something I find most frustrating is pulling up to any junction or stationery traffic the park assist screen insists on appearing and remains until I pull away. Annoying when you've got the nav running and somewhere new and need to see where you're going (I know you can see the high level in the dash but the wider view for me is preferred!). I've scoured all the options turning things on/off to see what changes but cannot find an appropriate option. Does anyone else have this and/or know how to resolve? Previous models/vehicles I'd only expect to see when engaging reverse. I've never used the optional parking assist (I didn't spec the car) but surely you can just hit the parking button to engage when required... Hoping someone can confirm this.

Model is 2025 vrs

Thanks

In the preFL, there's an option to turn park assist automatically when coming near objects at slow speed. This is turned on by default. I don't know the exact menu in the FL version, as the infotainment system is not the same, however I think there must be an option to disable it coming on automatically.

thanks good to hear and I'm hoping it's the same for the FL. one thing I do note is the number of settings that can be changed but then reset when you restart the vehicle - hopefully this isn't one of them! makes me consider some VCDS changes....

Its not one of them. Usually, settings that are reset each startup are those that have to do with some sort of compliance - either emissions or safety.

On the pre-FL cars there is physical switch beneath the Infotainment screen to turn on/off the Park Assist screen. Tap that (if the FL cars have it) and your Nav screen should come back.

thanks Steve - thats essentially what I've been doing (or given up as it's tedious at every junction). if only I could switch it off... ☹️

Well, after another fiddle yesterday evening, I have resolved but admittedly this is a bit of user error 🫢

I had convinced myself I'd turned off and tested the 'automatic activation' but lo and behold that was the culprit.

Thanks for the responses.

Update to this - I have now returned to the same position as previous. Despite the setting being enabled, I pull up to a junction and Park Assist kicks in. It would seem my car has it's share of software gremlins, that which I've recorded now as follows:

• Park Assist permanently on when auto setting turned off in the settings

• Fan speed keeps resetting to speed 4 each time vehicle is switched off/on (I set it to manual - speed 2)

• Continually over sensitive collision warning (went off again earlier, triggered by man walking his dog on the path parallel to the straight road...)

• Lane assist refuses to switch off completely - first setting I switch off when I start the vehicle, certain points on my routes to work where I can feel it grabbing the wheel

• I also have a squeaky drivers seat after 11k (I'm 11 stone btw, hardly excessive weight) - not experienced this before in any vehicle I've owned

I know I'm in the minority here - none of these issues are show-stoppers but do take the edge of the enjoyment of the vehicle. None of these are really worth taking to the dealer yet either - I will tie in with a service visit but as I'm on long-life servicing, that won't be for another few months yet. ☹️

Just had a thought.

Can you set the map/nav view as a background in the virtual cockpit on the FL VRS? On later pre-FL the mapping can be shown in the virtual cockpit (alas not my early build ).
