Functioning - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the
safety notes are to be observed.
WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
■
be observed » page 135, in section Introduction.
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
■
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
■
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. Therefore, do not use the
system in such situations.
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.
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.
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. 164 on page 146 or by a driver steering intervention.
» page 140 and operates on
