Skoda SUPERB - 05-2009 Manual page 126

WARNING (continued)
these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the
sensors of the parking aid.
•
The external sound source of the park assist and the parking aid can be
disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or
people cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Caution
•
If other vehicles are parked behind or on the kurb, the park assist guides your
vehicle beyond the kurb or onto it. Make sure that the wheels or the wheel rims of
your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
•
You should satisfy yourself before parking 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.
•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as
wire mesh fences, powder snow etc..., cannot be recognised by the system.
•
The evaluation of the parking place and the parking procedure depends on the
circumference of the wheels. The system does not function correctly if your vehicle
is mounted with wheels of non-permissible size, snow chains or a temporary spare
wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those
excepted by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the vehicle in
the parking place can differ slightly. This can be avoided through new calibration of
the system in a specialist garage.
•
The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking place can be influenced by the
incorrectly determined outside temperature if the later is influenced by the thermal
radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.
•
In order to avoid damaging the sensors while cleaning with high-pressure
cleaners or steam jets, the sensors must only be directly sprayed for short periods
while a minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.
Note
•
A component of the park assist is the front and rear parking aid*.
Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance
•
The electronic stability programme (ESP) must always be switched on for the
parking procedure.
•
Only the front parking aid operates if you are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*). This is why it is not possible
to park backwards with the help of the park assist when towing a trailer.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
