Sounds SKODA YETI 2015 1.G / 5L User Guide

Long or steep slopes
Before travelling a long distance with a steep gradient, reduce speed and shift
into the next lowest gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will be
used, reducing the load on the brakes. Any additional braking should be com-
pleted intermittently, not continuously.
Emergency brake display
If the brakes are applied in full and the vehicle systems evaluate the situation
as dangerous for the traffic following behind, the brake light flashes automati-
cally.
After the speed was reduced below around 10 km/h or the vehicle was stop-
ped, the brake light stops flashing and the hazard warning light system
switches on. The hazard warning light system is switched off automatically af-
ter accelerating or driving off again.
Faults in the brake surface
If it is found that the braking distance has suddenly become longer and that
the brake pedal can be depressed further, the brake system may be faulty.
Visit a specialist garage immediately and adjust your style of driving appropri-
ately, as you will not know the exact extent of the damage.
Low brake fluid level
An insufficient level of brake fluid may result in problems in the brake system.
The level of the brake fluid is monitored electronically » page 33,
 Brake sys-
tem .
Brake booster
The brake booster increases the pressure generated with the brake pedal. The
brake booster only operates when the engine is running.WARNINGOnly apply the brakes for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake
discs if the traffic conditions permit this. Do not place any other road users
in jeopardy.HandbrakeFig. 134
Handbrake
Read and observe and on page 119 first.
The hand brake is used when stopping and parking for securing the vehicle
against unwanted movement.
Apply
›
Pull the handbrake lever firmly upwards.
Release
›
Pull the handbrake lever up slightly and at the same time push in the lock
button » Fig. 134 .
›
Move the lever right down while pressing the lock button.
The handbrake indicator light  lights up when the handbrake is applied, pro-
vided the ignition is on.
A warning signal sounds if the vehicle is inadvertently driven off with the
handbrake applied.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display.
Release parking brake!
The handbrake warning is activated if the vehicle is driven at a speed of more
than around 5 km/h for more than 3 seconds.
WARNINGPlease note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake which
is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating. This can
have a negative effect on the operation of the brake system – risk of acci-
dent!120Driving

Sampled areas and range of the
sensors
Read and observe and on page 131 first.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are, depending on vehicle
equipment, located in the back or in the front bumper » Fig. 143.
Depending on the equipment, the following system versions can exist

Audible signals
The interval between the acoustic signals becomes shorter as the clearance is
reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm - danger
area. From this moment on do not continue driving!
Towing a trailer
When towing, or when another accessory is connected to the trailer socket on-
ly the areas

Note■
If with Version 3 vehicles not all fields around the vehicle are active after ac-
tivation the vehicle should be moved forwards or backwards.■
The signal tones for front obstacle recognition are factory-set to be higher
than for rear obstacle recognition.

Activation/deactivationFig. 146
System key (option 2, 3)
Read and observe and on page 131 first.
Activation
The activation of the system is initiated when the reverse gear is engaged, or
vehicles with the Variant 2 and 3 , also by pressing the symbol key

» Fig. 146 .
This is confirmed by a short acoustic signal ( the symbol  in the button is lit).
Deactivation
On vehicles with Version 1, the system can be deactivated by moving out of re-
verse gear.
For vehicles with the Version 2 and 3 the system is automatically deactivated
by pressing the symbol key or at a speed over 15 km / h (the symbol
in the
button goes out).
Fault display
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 in the button. Seek help from a spe-
cialist garage.
Note
The system can only be activated with the symbol key at a speed of below
15 km / hr.Rear View Camera
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
134
Guidelines and function keys
134
The rear view camera (hereinafter referred to as system) helps the driver when
parking and manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle in the Info-
tainment display (hereinafter referred to as display).
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 127, in section Introduction .■
Make sure that the camera lens is not dirty or covered, otherwise the sys-
tem function can be significantly impaired. For information on cleaning
» page 156 , Camera lens
CAUTION
■
The camera lens distorts and enlarges the field of view of the difference in
eye sight. The display is therefore only of limited use for estimating distances
to following vehicles.■
Some items, such as thin columns, chain link fences or lattice may not be
represented adequately in terms of display resolution.
■
It is only a two-dimensional display. Therefore, protruding objects or roadway
depressions, for example, may not be recognised due to lack of space depth.
■
In a crash or damage the vehicle's rear camera can possibly deviate from the
correct position. If this is the case, have the sensor checked by a specialist ga-
rage.

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 127, in section Introduction .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
Note
■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Function
Read and observe
on page 140 first.
From the start of the journey, the system evaluates steering behaviour. If,
while driving, there have been changes in the steering behaviours that are
evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue, a break recommenda-
tion is issued.
The system evaluates steering behaviour and recommends a break at speeds
of 65-200 km / h.
The system detects a break from driving when one of the following condi-
tions is met.
▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
Activation/deactivation
The system can be activated/deactivated via the MAXI DOT display in the
Assis-tants
menu option » page 44.
Information messages
Read and observe
on page 140 first.
In MAXI DOT display the icon appears for a few seconds  and the following
message.
Driver alert.

Take a break!
An audible signal is also emitted.
Tyre pressure monitoring
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Save tyre pressure values
141
The tyre pressure monitoring function (hereinafter referred to as the system)
monitors the tyre pressure while driving.
If the rolling circumference of a wheel is changed, the warning light  in the
instrument cluster lights up and an audible signal sounds.
Information on the procedure for the notification of change of tyre inflation
pressure » page 38 .
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 127, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 176.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
