2015 SKODA CITIGO parking sensors

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)Read and observe
on page 85 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
The EDL switches off automatically in order to avoid excessive heat generation
on the brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down,
there is an automatic re-activation of EDL.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 85 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 85 first.
When driving on slopes, HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake ped-al to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The HHC is active as of a 5 % slope, if the driver door is closed. HHC is always
only active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.
Parking aid (ParkPilot)
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
87
Visual parking system
87
The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as: the system) draws attention to any
obstacles via audible signals and a display in the Move & Fun multifunction de-
vice screen when manoeuvring in the vicinity of the vehicle » page 87, Visual
parking system .
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 85, in section Introduction .■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.
■
Before reversing, you should make sure that there are no small obstacles,
such as rocks, thin posts, trailer drawbars etc. behind your vehicle. Such ob-
stacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■ Keep the system sensors clean, snow-and ice-free and do not cover with any
objects of any kind, otherwise the system functioning may be impaired.■
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”.
■
Additionally installed accessories such as e.g. bicycle carriers can impair the
system function.

FunctionFig. 97
Fitting the sensors / Range of sensors
Read and observe
and on page 86 first.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are integrated in the rear
bumper » Fig. 97 .
Area scanned and range of the sensors » Fig. 97
150 cm
60 cm
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 reversing!
Activation/deactivation
The system is activated by engaging reverse gear. This is confirmed by a brief
audible signal.
The system is deactivated by disengaging reverse gear.
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. Seek help
from a specialist garage.
ABVisual parking systemFig. 98
Screen display of the visual park-
ing system
Read and observe and on page 86 first.
The visual parking system is shown in the screen of the multifunctional device
Move & Fun.
Switching on the screen display of the visual parking system
When the ignition and the multifunction device Move & Fun are both on, the
visual parking system is switched on by shifting into reverse gear.
Screen display » Fig. 98
An obstacle appearing in the collision zone is shown as an orange-col-
oured segment » Fig. 98.

Do not continue to drive!
An area without detected obstacles is shown as a transparent segment.
An obstacle in the sensor range which lies outside of the collision area is
shown by the light-blue segment.
A region behind the detected obstacle is shown with the dark-blue seg-
ment.
Switching off the screen display of the visual parking system
The screen display can be switched off as follows. ▶ Through touching the screen of the multifunction device » Fig. 98 with the
fingers.
▶ By shifting out of reverse.
▶ By turning off the ignition. 
ABCD87Assist systems

Clean wheels, door sills and similar parts last. Use a second sponge for such
areas.
Give the vehicle a good rinse after washing it and dry it off using a chamois
leather.WARNINGProtect your hands and arms from sharp-edged metal parts when cleaning
the underfloor or the inside of the wheel housings or the wheel trims – risk
of cuts!
CAUTION
■ Only apply slight pressure when cleaning the vehicle's paintwork.■Do not wash your vehicle in bright sunlight – risk of paint damage.
Automatic car wash systems
Read and observe
and on page 95 first.
The usual precautionary measures must be taken before washing the vehicle
in an automatic car wash system (e.g. closing the windows and the sliding/tilt-
ing roof etc.).
If your vehicle is fitted with any particular attached parts, such as a spoiler,
roof rack system etc., it is best to consult the operator of the car wash system
beforehand.
After an automatic wash with wax treatment, the lips of the wipers should be
cleaned with cleaning agents specially designed for the purpose, and then de-
greased.
CAUTION
■ Before driving through a car wash fold in the exterior mirrors - there is a risk
of damage.■
Before driving through a car wash unscrew the antenna - there is a risk of
damage.
Washing the vehicle with high-pressure cleaners
Read and observe
and on page 95 first.
When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, the instructions foruse of the equipment must be observed. This applies in particular to the pres-
sure used and to the spraying distance .
Maintain a sufficiently large distance to the parking aid sensors and soft mate-
rials such as rubber hoses or insulation material.
CAUTION
■ The films should not be washed with any high-pressure cleaners - there is
risk of damage » page 97.■
Do not aim the water jet directly at the lock cylinders or the door or opening
joints when washing the vehicle in the winter – there is a risk of freezing.
■
The sensors of the parking aid can be sprayed only for a short time and there
must be a minimum distance of 10 cm - there is a risk of damage.
