no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.
Two warning levels

light up - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot”.

flash - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot” and the turn signal is
switched on .
An advanced warning for vehicles with Lane Assist

flash also if the steering wheel is turned in the direction of the vehicle in
the “blind spot” . Therefore the Lane Assist » page 254 must be enabled and

(hereinafter only known as screen).
There are four modes available for different situations during the park and ma-
noeuvring action. The mode change is carried out using the function surfaces
on the screen » page 228.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The system detects obstacles. The display of the auxiliary boxes and lines
is independent of the actual vehicle environment. The driver must judge for
themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected parking
space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of accident. For information on
cleaning » page 271 .
CAUTION■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. For this reason, the
screen display is only of limited use for estimating distances to following vehi-
cles.■
Some items, such as thin posts, chain link fences, grilles or uneven road sur-
faces may not be properly displayed in terms of screen resolution.
■
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.

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, 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 time.
Note

WARNING (Continued)■During manoeuvring, always observe the movement of the trailer and if
neccesary cancel the manoeuvring autonomously to prevent accidents or
damage to the vehicle and the trailer.■
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 parking manoeuvres on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) it is possible to stray from the calculated road. Therefore, use the
system with extreme caution in such situations.
CAUTION
■ The trailer position is evaluated by the rear camera based on the bending an-
gle of the drawbar and the steering movement carried out by the system. For
this reason, the drawbar must not be obstructed by external influences.■
The rear camera lens must not be contaminated, otherwise the system may
be unavailable or the system function my be significantly impaired.
