Parking Aid (Parkpilot) - Skoda CITIGO Owner's Manual

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)

Read and observe on page 95 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes a spinning wheel if required and transfers the drive power force to the
other drive 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
on the brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down,
there is an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Brake Assist (HBA)

Read and observe on page 95 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.
The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Start Assist

Read and observe on page 95 first.
When driving on slopes, Hill Start Assist (hereinafter referred to simply as the
system) allows you to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal without the vehicle rolling downhill on its own.
The vehicle is braked by the system for about 2 seconds after releasing the
brake pedal.
The system is active as of a 5% slope, if the driver door is closed. The system is
only ever active on slopes when starting off in forward or reverse.

Introduction
The parking aid (hereinafter referred to simply as the system) uses acoustic
signals and an indication in the Swing radio display to draw your attention to
obstacles in the vicinity of the vehicle when manoeuvring.
WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
■
observed » page 95, in section Introduction.
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.
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 manoeuvring, ensure that there are no small obstacles - such as
■
rocks, narrow posts or similar - behind your vehicle. Such obstacles may
not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
Keep the system sensors » Fig. 128
■
and ice, and do not cover them with any objects of any kind, otherwise the
functioning of the system may be restricted.
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 additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
■
can impair the system function.
