Parking Assistance (Parkpilot) - Skoda Rapid Owner's Manual

Brake Assist (HBA)

Read and observe on page 65 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.
The HBA is activated by the very quick operation of the brake pedal. To ach-
ieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be applied
firmly until the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
The HBA is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)

Read and observe on page 65 first.
When moving off on a gradient, HHC allows you to move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal without the vehicle rolling downhill.
The vehicle is braked by the system for about 2 seconds after releasing the
brake pedal.
The HHC is active on gradients upwards up 5% if the driver door is closed. HHC
is always active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Activation/deactivation
The parking assistance (hereinafter referred to only system) makes the driver
aware of obstacles behind the vehicle when manoeuvring via acoustic signals.
WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
■
systems » page 64, in chapter General information.
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
■
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. There is a danger that such ob-
jects or people may not be recognised by the system sensors.

Driving
WARNING (Continued)
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors.
■
There is a danger that obstacles may not be recognised by the system sen-
sors.
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles
■
- such as rocks, small posts or similar - behind your vehicle. Such obstacles
may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
Keep the system sensors
■
do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system functioning
may be impaired.
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
■
temperatures, etc.), the functioning of the system may be impaired - "incorrect
recognition of obstacles".
Accessories fitted to the rear of the vehicle, such as bicycle carriers, can im-
■
pair the system function.
