Front and rear parking aid*
The parking aid provides a warning of obstacles in front and behind
the vehicle.
The audible parking aid determines the distance between the front or rear bumper
and an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in the
front and rear bumper. The signal tones for the front parking aid sound higher than
for the rear parking aid.
Range of sensors
The distance warning begins at a distance of about 120 cm from the obstacle in
front of the vehicle (area
⇒
fig. 137 ) and about 160 cm from the obstacle
behind the vehicle (area
⇒
page 121, fig. 135 ). The interval between the
warning signals becomes shorter as the clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a clearance of just 30 cm (area ) - danger area.
You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds!
Your vehicle can be equipped with a radio which shows on its display the distance
of the vehicle to the obstacle. You can also switch off this function - see operating
instructions for radio
Activating
The parking aid is activated when the
reverse gear
is engaged and the ignition is
turned on or by pressing the button
⇒
fig. 136 - the symbol  lights up in the
button. The activation is confirmed by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated after pressing the button 
⇒
fig. 136 or at a speed
of more than 15 km/h - the symbol  in the button is no longer illuminated.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the
vehicle or carrying out similar manoeuvres.
•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or
behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range
detected by the sensors.
Caution
In order to ensure the correct functioning of the parking aid, only a licence plate
frame approved by the manufacturer Škoda for your vehicle type should be
installed at the front bumper. Non-proved licence plate frames can project into the
detection range
⇒
fig. 137 . A non-proved licence plate frame could be recog-
nized as an obstacle by the system and this would lead to an incorrect warning. If
you have any questions, please contact a specialist garage.
