Parking Aid - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 147.
The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. The HBA increa-
ses the braking effect and helps to reduce the braking distance. In order to ach-
ieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be applied firm-
ly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The ABS is activated faster and more effectively with the intervention of the HBA.
The HBA function is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.
Hill Hold Control (HHC)

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 147.
When driving on slopes, HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake
pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The brake pressure drops gradually the more you operate the accelerator pedal. If
the vehicle does not start off within 2 seconds, it starts to roll back.
The HHC is active on slopes of 5% and steeper, provided that the driver's door is
closed. HHC is only ever active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.
When driving downhill, it is inactive.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Visual parking system
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. Pay particular attention to small children
and animals as they may not be recognised by the system sensors.
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
■
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer drawbars etc. in front or behind your vehicle.
Such obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of cloth-
■
ing cannot reflect the system signals. Thus, these objects or people who wear
such clothing are not recognised by the System sensors.

External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on the system. Under
■
adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people to not be recognised by
the system.
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
also indicated by the  symbol flashing in the
Have the fault rectified by a specialist garage.
The sensors must be kept clean (free of ice, etc.) to enable the system to oper-
■
ate properly.
Note
The signal tones for front obstacle recognition are factory-set to be higher than
■
for rear obstacle recognition.

The parking aid tones can be adjusted via the information display in the Assis-
■
tants menu item » page 27.
If the system is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is in
■
position P (the vehicle cannot move), the warning tone is interrupted and no ob-
stacles are displayed.
Additionally installed modules such as bicycle carriers can impair the function of
■
the parking aid.
