Skoda Octavia Operating Instructions Manual page 146

CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also
■
guide your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the
wheel rims of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such
■
as wire mesh fences or powder snow cannot be recognised by the system.
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
■
high temperatures etc.), the system functioning may be limited - "incorrect ob-
stacle detection".
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
■
approved by the manufacturer.
Abstain from using the system when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or
■
a temporary spare wheel.
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 specialist garage.
Note
We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km / h.
■
The driver can stop the parking process at any time by pressing the symbol
■
key  » Fig. 155 on page 143 or by a driver steering intervention.
