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

The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example.
▶
When driving with snow chains.
▶
When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
▶
When it is necessary to "rock" a car free when it has become stuck.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)

Read and observe on page 69 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
The EDL switches off automatically in order to avoid excessive heat generation
in the brake of the wheel where the brake is activated. Once the brakes have
cooled down, there is an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Brake Assist (HBA)

Read and observe on page 69 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 69 first.
HHC allows you, when driving on slopes, 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 HHC is active from a 5% slope if the driver's 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:
Function
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
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
■
responsibility for the vehicle operation.
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. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
■
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
■
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer drawbars etc. behind your vehicle. Such ob-
stacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
Keep the system sensors » fig. 66
■
do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system functioning
may be impaired.
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
■
high temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - "incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle".
Accessories fitted to the rear of the vehicle, such as bicycle carriers, can im-
■
pair the system function.
