Rear parking assistant
The accessories are intended for professional fitting. ŠKODA AUTO recommends having the
assembly done by its contractors.
Rear parking assistant, Order Number 5JA 054 630, is intended for ŠKODA Rapid (5JA). It
serves to facilitate parking the car in reverse. The three sensors in the rear bumper watch
the distance between the vehicle and a possible obstacle. The driver is informed on the
extent of the free area by the acoustic signal from the loudspeaker.
If an obstacle appears at a distance of 140 cm from the rear section of the vehicle, it
is signalled with short beeps at an interval of 1 second. Approaching the obstacle, this
interval gets shorter continuously. At a distance of 30 cm, the beeping changes into an
uninterrupted tone (signal STOP). Moreover, it is accompanied with jump changes of the
pitch, see individual zones, fig. 20.
The parking assistant is not connected to data lines, and therefore, its diagnostics by the
instrument VAS is not possible.
Important instructions for fitting
Advice. The vehicle must be clean; preferably washed in a car-wash.
Before gluing the park sensor holders, the control unit and foam adhesive tapes, clean and
degrease all the chosen places carefully using a suitable degreaser. Let them dry for
10 minutes. Once the places have been prepared in this way, do not touch them more for
any reason; otherwise it is not possible to guarantee the perfect affixing of individual parts!
Caution. During the fitting, ensure ventilation of the workplace
- cleaning agents contain dangerous vapours.
Assembly procedure
Have the accumulator disconnected during the fitting (when a coded car radio is in the car,
find out its code first).
Perform the disassembly and reassembly of individual parts according to the SKODA work-
shop manual.
Dismantle:
- the rear bumper,
- left rear lamp assembly,
- left panel of the C-pillar.
Release and lift off the left side lining of the trunk.
Caution. Be especially careful when dismantling the rear bumper to
avoid damaging it. If needed (to simplify the disassembly) dismantle
also the other lamp assembly.
