Park Assist - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

CAUTION
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
■
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol  flashes in the button
in the error area of the Infotainment display. Have the fault rectified by a ŠKODA
specialist garage.
The sensors must be kept clean (free of ice, etc.) to enable the parking aid to
■
operate properly.
Note
The signal tones for front obstacle recognition are factory-set to be higher than
■
for rear obstacle recognition.
If not all fields around the vehicle are shown after the system is activated, the
■
vehicle will need to be moved a few metres forwards or in reverse.
If the parking aid is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is
■
in the position P (the vehicle cannot move), the warning signal is interrupted and
no obstacles are displayed.
Additional mounted modules, such as a bicycle carrier, can impair the function of
■
the parking aid.

Park Assist


Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
finding a parking space
Parking the vehicle
Manoeuvring out of a parallel parking space
Automatic brake assist
Information for the driver
The parking aid is part of the park assist system, therefore the information and
safety guidelines » page 114, Parking aid must be read and observed.
Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in suita-
ble parallel and perpendicular parking places and also to manoeuvre out of paral-
lel parking spaces.
The system only operates if the ignition is switched on.
116
Using the system
During the parking procedure the system only takes over the steering move-
ments, the pedals continue to be operated by the driver.
When the system is activated,
lights up in the button.
. ! is displayed

The traction control system (TCS) must always be switched on when parking.
The function of the system is based on:
›
the measurement and evaluation of the size of parking spaces when driving,
›
the determination of the correct position of the vehicle for parking,
›
the calculation of the line on which the vehicle drives backwards into the park-
ing space or forwards from the parking space;
›
the automatic turning of the front wheels when parking in, or manoeuvring out
of the parking space.
WARNING
The system does not exempt the driver from his/her responsibility for park-
■
ing in and manoeuvring out of the parking space.
External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on parking in and ma-
■
noeuvring out of the parking space. Under unfavourable conditions, objects or

people may not be recognised.
When parking in, and manoeuvring out of parking spaces, the system auto-
■
matically executes quick steering movements. While it is doing so, do not
place your hands between the steering wheel - risk of injury!
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind or on the kerb, the system guides your vehi-
■
cle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the wheel rims of your
117
vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
117
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as
■
118
wire mesh fences, powder snow, etc., cannot be recognised by the system.
118
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the
■
119 circumference of the wheels. The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fit-
ted with the wheel size approved by the manufacturer. If wheels other than
those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the resulting position of the
vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoided by readjusting
the system at a ŠKODA specialist garage. Under certain circumstances, the sys-
tem may not function correctly, for example, if the vehicle is fitted with snow
chains or a temporary spare wheel.
