Traffic Sign Recognition - Skoda 2015 Superb Owner's Manual

The assistant for emergencies (following known as system) detects inactivity
of the driver, which for example can be caused by a sudden loss of conscious-
ness. The system then performs measures as safely as possible to decelerate
the vehicle to a stop.
The system is only available for vehicles with Automatic transmission.

The system is intended for emergency situations when the driver is sud-
■
denly unable to take over the steering task. Therefore, never try to test out

Operation

Read and observe on page 180 first.
The assistant for emergencies is an extension of the systems Lane Assist
» page 174 and ACC » page 163 and works by using the functions of these two
systems.
For this reason, the chapters on System Lane Assist and ACC are to be read
carefully and the safety notes are to be observed.
System intervention
If the system detects the driver's inactivity, it draws attention to this fact by a
beep and a message on the display of the instrument cluster. It keeps the ve-
hicle in its lane.
If the driver does not take over the steering even after repeated warning, the
system begins to automatically brake the vehicle. This is followed by continu-
ous braking. After the vehicle has come to a stop, automatic activation of the
parking brake takes place.
With automatic braking, the hazard warning lights are activated to warn other
road users.
Note
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by steering intervention.

The traffic sign recognition (following known as system) shows certain traffic

WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
■
systems » page 142, in section Introduction.
Vertical traffic signs must always take precedence over the traffic signs
■
shown in the display. The driver is always responsible for correctly assess-
ing the traffic situation.
Traffic signs may not be recognised at all by the system, or may be recog-
■
nised incorrectly. As a result, the traffic signs may not be displayed at all, or
the wrong one may appear.
The speed limits shown in the road signs displayed refer to the country-
■
specific speed measurement units. For example, the display  may refer to
km/h or mph, i.e. specific to that country.
Note
The system is only available in some countries.
