Area Monitoring System (Front Assist) - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side are not detected by the radar
sensor until they are within the sensor's range
true for narrow vehicles, such as motorcycles.
If necessary, slow down the car by applying the brake.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles that change onto the lane with a small proximity
have to be detected by the radar sensor in time. The result may be a delayed ACC
response.
If necessary, slow down the car by applying the brake.
Stationary vehicles
The ACC does not detect stationary objects! When a vehicle detected by the ACC
turns or sheers off and there is a stationary vehicle in front of this vehi-
cle, » Fig. 140 - the ACC does not respond to the stationary vehicle.
In such cases, take over the steering and apply the brake.
When overtaking
When your vehicle is being controlled (the speed is lower than that which is stor-
ed) and the indicator is activated, the ACC interprets that the driver intends to
overtake. The ACC automatically accelerates the vehicle, thereby reducing the
proximity to a vehicle ahead.
If the vehicle changes to the fast lane and no vehicle is detected ahead, the ACC
accelerates until the set speed is reached and then keeps it constant.
Acceleration can be cancelled at any time by touch on the brake pedal or pressing
the button  on the control lever
Vehicles with special load or special body parts
Other vehicles with a load or with body parts protruding from the sides, back or
top of the vehicle contour may not be detected by the ACC.
Control should therefore be disabled whenever you are driving behind or overtak-
ing such a vehicle.
Towing a trailer
When towing a trailer, the ACC control will be less powerful. The manner of driv-
ing should therefore be adapted to this limitation.
