WARNING (Continued)
■
The City Safe Drive system can carry out unexpected braking interventions
in complex driving situations, e.g. when vehicles scrape past each other.
■
Taking the City Safe Drive system into account in one's own driving behav-
iour can lead to accidents and serious injuries. The City Safe Drive system is
not a substitute for the driver's attention.
■
Always adapt your speed and safety distance to the vehicle ahead to the
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
■
The laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries.
■
Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass to
look into the laser sensor.
■
The laser beam can also be active when the City Safe Drive system is
switched off or is not available. The laser beam is not visible to the human
eye.
■
The City Safe Drive system cannot detect persons, animals, or crossing vehi-
cles or approaching vehicles in the same lane.
■
The City Safe Drive system cannot exceed physical and system-defined lim-
its. For instance, responses from the City Save Drive system can happen late
or unexpectedly from the driver's perspective. Always stay attentive and take
control when required.
CAUTION
If the vehicle starts to roll after the City Safe Drive system is triggered, use the
foot pedal to break.
Note
■
When replacing the windscreen wiper blades, only use windscreen blades ap-
proved by ŠKODA.
■
Do not paint the laser sensor range on the windscreen. Do not cover it up with
stickers or similar.
■
Remove any snow with a hand-held brush and we recommend you remove any
ice with a solvent-free deicing spray.
■
Keep the laser sensor range free of dirt and ice at all times.
■
If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc, replace
the windscreen. Only use windscreens approved by ŠKODA. Carrying out repairs
to the windscreen are not permissible.
■
A damaged windscreen in the area of the laser sensor can lead to a failure of
the City Safe Drive system.
■
Repairing the laser sensor requires specialist expertise. We recommend an au-
thorised ŠKODA Service partner.
