In this video, learn how to activate an exclusive feature of the Volkswagen Golf VII, known as the "vehicle exit alert". We all know the "blind spot" feature, which warns us when a vehicle is in our blind spot, out of sight in both the interior and exterior mirrors.

To activate this function, go to the parking menu, select options, and choose the "vehicle exit alert" option.

This feature alerts us by illuminating the same orange LED as the blind spot when we open the door and vehicles are approaching, ensuring we exit the vehicle safely. It also includes an audible warning.
