WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 142, 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 the manufacturer.
■
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 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.
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.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km / h.■The driver can stop the parking process at any time by pressing the symbol
key » Fig. 191
on page 156 or by a driver steering intervention.FunctioningFig. 191
System button
Read and observe and on page 156 first.
The system support is provided in the following manner.
▶ While the parking space search is going on, a measurement and evaluation of
the parking space size is completed.
▶ The display of the instrument cluster (hereinafter only display) shows suita-
ble parking spaces and a parking mode is recommended.
▶ The display shows instructions and information before the start and during
the parking.
▶ The road way is calculated that the vehicle uses during the parking.
▶ The front wheels are automatically rotated during the parking.
Conditions for the system function
The system can look for a parking space only if the following basic conditions
are met.
The system is activated.
The vehicle speed is less than 40 km / h (parallel parking).
The vehicle speed is less than 20 km / h (transverse parking).
The distance to a number of parked vehicles is approximately 0.5 - 1.5 m.
The TCS is activated » page 143, Braking and stabilisation systems .
The system can only carry out the parking if the following basic conditions are
met.
The vehicle is travelling less than about 7 km/h.
The parking procedure takes less than 6 minutes.
There is no driver intervention in the automatic steering operation.
Activation/deactivation
The system can be enabled or disabled by pressing the symbol key » Fig. 191
.
156Driving
Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel.▶ The warning label must not be covered after installing the wheel.
▶ Be particularly observant when driving.
▶ The emergency spare is inflated to the maximum inflation pressure for the
vehicle » page 217 .
▶ The tyre inflation pressure of the spare wheel R 18 is 4.2 bar.
▶ Only use this temporary spare wheel to reach the nearest specialist garage,
since it is not intended for permanent use.
If you need to use a spare wheel, make sure to fit a standard wheel of the ap-
propriate dimensions and design as soon as possible.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save tyre pressure values » page 183.WARNING■
Never drive with more than one spare wheel mounted!■Only use the spare wheel while absolutely necessary.■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
■
The snow chains cannot be used on the spare wheel.
■
If the dimensions or design of the temporary spare wheel differ from the
tyres fitted, never drive faster than 80 km/h (or 50 mph).
■
Never use the emergency spare wheel if it is damaged.
■
Observe instructions on the warning sign of the emergency wheel.
Tyre label
Read and observe
on page 217 first.
Only use radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and tread
pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When mounting new tires the tires have to be replaced axle by axle.
Explanation of tyre markings
For example 215/60 R 16 95 V means:

For example DOT ... 10 15... means, for example, that the tyre was manufac-
tured in the 10th week of 2015.

Do not use alloy rims with bevelled or polished surfaces during the winter. The
rim surface does not have sufficient corrosion protection and could be perma-
nently damaged (e.g. through grit).
220General Maintenance
CAUTION■We recommend having faulty rechargeable batteries or batteries replaced by
a ŠKODA service partner.■
The replacement battery or the replacement rechargeable battery should
have the specifications of the original battery or original rechargeable battery.
■
Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the rechargeable batter-
ies.
Note
If a key has an affixed decorative cover, this will be destroyed when the bat-
tery is replaced. A replacement cover can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.

WARNINGAlways read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 206.
CAUTION
■
“Never repair” fuses, and do not replace them with fuses of a higher amper-
age – risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical
system.■
If a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical
system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage.
■
A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
Note
■
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of
replacement fuses and bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODA Genuine Accesso-
ries.■
There can be several power consuming devices for one fuse.
■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
