The Rear Traffic Alert and Wizard for “blind spot” monitoring works based on
the information from the radar sensors in the rear bumper » Fig. 271. The radar
sensors are not visible from the outside.
Rear Traffic Alert
The Rear Traffic Alert (hereinafter referred to as system) warns when leaving a
parking space from a transverse parking space about any approaching vehi-
cles.
If necessary, the system tries to avoid a collision with automatic braking, or at
least to mitigate the consequences.
Wizard for “blind spot”monitoring
The wizard for“blind spot monitoring” (hereafter referred to as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so-
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle. 
218Driving

WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 212, in section Introduction .WARNING■
In the case of a collision or damage to the rear of the vehicle, the function
of the systems may be affected - risk of accident! Have the vehicle checked
by a specialist garage.■
Do not cover the sensor area - the function of the systems could be limi-
ted. ■ Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the sensor environment im-
mediately.
WARNINGThe wizard for “blind spot”monitoring is limited by physical and system-re-
lated limits. Therefore, in the following situations the system can be de-
layed in drawing attention (or not at all) to a vehicle in the next land.■
When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.
■
When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.
CAUTION
■ If a trailer or other accessory is to be connected to the trailer socket, then
the two systems are not available.■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise
a vehicle”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.
Rear Traffic Alert- OperationFig. 272
Infotainment screen: Warning indicator / driving situation
Read and observe
and on page 219 first.
With the ignition switched on, the area next to and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the radar sensors of the system. If an approaching vehicle is detected
from the rear of the vehicle » Fig. 272, the system warns of this fact.
Warning - vehicles with parking aid
You will hear a continuous tone and one of the following warning levels
» Fig. 272 appears on the Infotainment screen.
An oncoming vehicle is detected. Do not continue driving backwards and
check around the vehicle.
A vehicle in the collision region is detected. Do not continue driving back-
wards .
Warning - vehicles without parking sensors
An acoustic signal is sounded and information for the driver to observe the
traffic behind is shown in the instrument cluster.
Automatic emergency braking
If the driver does not react to the warning and the system detects an impend-
ing collision, then this can trigger an automatic braking at a speed up to 10
km/h. A corresponding message is shown in the information cluster display.
AB219Assist systems

Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - OperationRead and observe
and on page 219 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶ Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barriers,
noise barriers or similar objects.

Park Assist (following referred to system) helps drivers park in suitable parallel
and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of parallel parking
spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements only when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal and
the shift / selector lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid » page 215 and operates on
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the safety notes are to be observed. 
225Assist systems

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 212, in section Introduction .■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. It is therefore recommen-
ded that you do not use the system in such situations.
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.■
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
approved by ŠKODA AUTO.
■
Abstain from using the system when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or
a temporary spare wheel.
■
If wheels other than those approved by ŠKODA AUTO are fitted, the resulting
position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoi-
ded by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind or on the curb, the system can drive your
vehicle over the kerb or up to the kerb - there is a risk of damage to the
wheels. If necessary, intervene in good time.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km/h.■The parking procedure can be stopped at any time by pressing the 
» Fig. 282 on page 226 button or by a steering intervention.OperationFig. 282
