CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Audible signal when
reversing*Ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper si-
gnal to you the distance from the rear bum-
per to an obstacle.
The parking aid is actuated automatically
when the ignition is switched on and re-
verse gear is engaged.
The clearance warning begins when revers-
ing at a distance of about 1.6 metres from
the obstacle (area A). The interval between
the warning signals becomes shorter as the
clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a clear-
ance of just 0.3 cm (area B) - danger area.
Stop immediately! Warning


The parking aid is not a substitute
for the driver’s proper attention. The
driver continues to be responsible
for handling the car when parking
and carrying out similar manoeuvres.

Before reversing, nevertheless
ensure whether there is a small di-
mension object behind your car, for
example a stone, narrow post, trailer
drawbar etc. Such an obstacle might
be beyond the detection range of the
sensors.
Notes

The parking aid is not active when tow-
ing a trailer.

If the continuous signal sounds for about
5 seconds after switching on the ignition
and engaging the reverse gear, and there
is no obstacle behind the car, this indicates
a system fault. Please contact a Škoda
Dealer.

It is important that the sensors are clean
and free of ice if the system is to operate
properly.
Excess speed signal*If the car is driven at a speed of more than
120 km/h, an audible signal sounds as a
warning. This audible signal switches off
again once the speed of the car drops be-
low this speed limit.
This feature applies only to certain export
countries.
