Parking Aid - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Multicollision brake

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 137.
The multifunction brake deploys automatic braking after a collision in order to re-
duce the risk of further collisions. Automatic braking can only be deployed at
speeds of over 10 km/h in the event of a frontal or sideimpact.
The vehicle is slowed down automatically by the ESC system as long as the
brakes, the ESC and the relevant electrical system remain operational after the
impact.
Automatic braking is not applied if the driver presses the accelerator during the
accident.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
Automatic system activation when moving forward
Road display
WARNING
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and
■
it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle
or carrying out similar manoeuvres. Pay particular attention to small children
and animals as they may not be recognised by the system sensors.
You should satisfy yourself before reversing that there is no small obstacle,
■
such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your vehicle.
Such obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of cloth-
■
ing cannot reflect the system signals. Thus, these objects or people who wear
such clothing are not recognised by the System sensors.
External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on the system. Under
■
adverse conditions, this can cause objects or people to not be recognized by
the system.

Driving
CAUTION
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
■
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
also indicated by the symbol flashing
 appears in the Infotainment display. Seek help from a specialist garage.
The sensors must be kept clean (free of ice, etc.) to enable the system to oper-
■
ate properly.
The system function may be limited under adverse weather conditions (heavy
■
rain, water vapour, very low or high temperatures etc.).
Additional mounted modules, such as a bicycle carrier, can impair the function of
■
the parking aid.
Note

The signal tones for front obstacle recognition are factory-set to be higher than
■
for rear obstacle recognition.
If not all fields around the vehicle are shown after the system is activated, the
■
vehicle will need to be moved a few metres forwards or in reverse.
If the system is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is in
■
position P (the vehicle cannot move), the warning tone is interrupted and no ob-
stacles are displayed.
