Optical Parking Assistant (hereinafter referred to as system) shows the area to
the rear of the vehicle monitored by the camera in the infotainment dis-
play » Fig. 139 on page 149 .
WARNING■
The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility for the vehicle operation.■
Make sure that the camera lens is not dirty or covered, otherwise the sys-
tem function can be significantly impaired. For information on clean-
ing » page 173 , 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.

Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in
suitable parallel and perpendicular parking places and also to manoeuvre out
of parallel parking spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or driving out of
the parking space, the driver operates the pedals as well as the gear lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The parking aid is part of the park assist system, therefore the information
and safety guidelines » page 146 , Parking aid must also be read and ob-
served.
WARNING■ The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility for the vehicle operation.■
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! 
150Driving

WARNING (Continued)■During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road because of the surface
conditions. Therefore we suggest that you do not use the system in such
situations.■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people to not be recog-
nised by the system.
CAUTION
■ If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also
guide your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the
wheel rims of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such
as wire mesh fences or powder snow cannot be recognised by the system.
■
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
high temperatures etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle”.
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 the manufacturer.
■
Do without the use of the system if snow chains or a spare wheel is moun-
ted.
■
If wheels other than those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the
resulting position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This
can be avoided by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
Note
We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km / h.
Functioning

and on page 150 first.
Basic system operations
› The measurement and evaluation of the size of parking spaces when driving.
› The determination of the correct position of the vehicle for parking.
› The calculation of the line on which the vehicle drives backwards into the
parking space or forwards from the parking space.
› Automatic rotation of the front wheels during the parking.
The display of the instrument cluster (hereinafter only in the display) informa-
tion and system messages are displayed.
When the system is activated, the warning light lights up 

Operating Description
154
The Cruise Control System (CCS) maintains a set speed without you having to
actuate the accelerator pedal.
The state where the GRA maintains the speed is referred to hereinafter as the
control .
WARNING■
The GRA only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the re-
sponsibility for the vehicle operation.■
Always adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weath-
er, road and traffic conditions.
Functioning
Read and observe
on page 154 first.
Basic requirements for start of control The GRA is activated.
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the second gear or higher must
be engaged.
On vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be in the
D or S position, or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed must be higher than 20 km/hr.
This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and braking power of the engine.
WARNINGIf the engine power and engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain
the set speed, vehicle operation must be taken over!

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recom-
mend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other expert help
in the event of any uncertainties.
› Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
› Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
› A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a box under the
floor covering in the luggage compartment.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 180.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
Bulbs H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there is a
risk of injury. We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
■
Gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage, professio-
nal knowledge is required – risk of death!
■
Switch off the respective vehicle light when changing the bulb.
CAUTION
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
■
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the main beam, low beam or fog lights.
■
In case of failure of a xenon gas discharge lamp or an LED diode, visit a spe-
cialist garage.
