This car had front and rear parking sensors installed from Volkswagen, and had an OPS system in the car already.
As described above, the system comes with dynamic guidelines, that is somewhat similar to Audi's, (as Audi & VW shares most of mechanical / electrical parts).
The blue rectangular shape represents the straight rear sight, that as long as It's in between parking lot lines, meaning that the car is parked without breaching next lot.
Also, the OPS system was visible on right corner of the display, (doesn't always located on right), granting sensor images detected by front / rear sensors of the vehicle.
And even If the vehicle doesn't have any sort of park assist system, which in that case - It can be internal programmed to be removed. - only showing guidelines and rear sight.
