Honest gov we never touched it....

 

no it has stopped doing it after being back to vw and they claim they did nothing but re boot the system

 

Have you turned down the sensitivity?

 

The same happen to me ! No cars near by . I was the only one on the road …

 

And they think that self-driving cars will be safe!

 

a white one like that comes up on mine it seems to be when there is a update to download

 

We have had this warning sign and backing out of our drive occasionally .I think if you have your foot on brake ,this might not happen ,but did the other day and it jammed brakes on !! Very disconcerting and frightening . It must be just the car reacting to the proximity of another vehicle or something ?

 

Just posted about this.
I have a 2025 model and thinking about returning it tbh. A car that overrides me for hanging bushes or objects that I can clear is dangerous.
The sensitivity is clearly set too high and beyond the decision making of the human or realistic braking/speed reduction.

 

There are threads on all the VW forums reporting random spurious collision warnings (which you describe) without a known cause.

 

Have had this last week, a loud high pitched beep and only this on the dash.. there were no cars nearby…

 

There is isn't there? Too late now to check.

here we go...

 

just had the same come up why is there not a page in hand book with them all on explaining what they mean

 

Yes it is definitely a warning sign with regards to the surrounding traffic.
I get this when backing out on our drive onto the main road or going down my daughters drive ,as the car thinks it is to close to something and jams on the brakes ,very off putting and frightening.
I have tried to calm the warnings with no luck .😩

 

Hi there,

Yes I have had this, definitely one car with lines on every side of the car symbol, no idea what its warning about, nothing in the user manual, wish I could help, I used to get this sort of thing all the time on my previous car (Honda HRV) these cars are just too clever.

Wiliam.

 

Definitely collision detection, I had exactly the same in my 2020 Golf, it got confused by the chevron signs on a bend. On my T-Cross it went loopy when somebody cut in front of me on the motorway with barely a car's length clearance.

 

Exactly the same scenario as me. Thanks

 

Your both talking about different warnings. The 2 car display is in the lower area where ACC speed. lane keeping and the trips are. This is the 'driving too close'.

Neilmanc is talking about a big large warning between the dials, showing a car with radar like lines on all 4 sides. This is the 'collision imminent' warning, sometimes it also slams the brakes on. Had this at 5 mph following a car out of a car park, and pulling away onto an empty roundabout. Never had it in a potential real emergency!

 

Yes, I have had this, it indicates you are travelling too close to the car in front. I am sure it was 2 car symbols, one behind the other.

 

Thanks. Could have been as the traffic was quite heavy and a numpty pulled in ahead of me from lane 2 to 1 in my safe space so that could have triggered it. The symbol wasn’t on screen long enough for me to get a detailed look so there could have been two cars but it certainly has radar / wifi arc symbols emanating from the car icon

 

Collision detection. Does happen occasionally.

 

I am hazarding a guess at some kind of proximity alarm due to another vehicle coming close?
