2016 SKODA RAPID SPACEBACK sensor

For vehicles with variant 2, the system is automatically deactivated by press-
ing the  button or at a speed above 15 km/h (the  symbol in the button
goes out).
Displaying an error
If a warning signal sounds for 3 seconds after activating the system and there
is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is also
indicated by the symbol 
flashing in the button. Seek help from a specialist
garage.
Note
The system can only be activated with the button at a speed of below 15
km/h.

The automatic system activation occurs when moving forward at a speed be- low 10 km/h when the vehicle approaches an obstacle.
After activation, the following is shown in the left pane of the Infotainment
display » Fig. 120 .
Acoustic signals are sounded as of a distance from the obstacle of around
50 cm.

The rear view camera (following as system) helps the driver when parking and
manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle in the Infotainment dis-
play (following as display).
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 96, in section Introduction .■
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 123 , Exterior car care .
CAUTION
■
The camera image is distorted by contrast with eyesight. 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.
■
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.
Note
The camera must be equipped with a cleaning system » page 61. The spraying
is carried out automatically when the rear window is sprayed.101Assist systems

If no speed limit is set, the current speed is set as the speed limit.
After starting the system, the current speed is set as the speed limit, the
warning light  lights up in the instrument cluster.
Exceeding the speed limit during the regulation
If, during the control, it is necessary to exceed the speed limit (e.g. to over-
take), the accelerator pedal must be pressed fully.
When exceeding the speed limit (e.g. driving down a hill), an acoustic signal
sounds and the warning light  flashes in the instrument cluster.
The regulation is resumed once the speed has fallen below the set limit.
Note
By pressing the button D during the regulation, this is cancelled and the CCS
is activated.

The Front Assist (hereinafter referred to as the system) warns you of the dan-
ger of a collision with a vehicle or another obstacle in front of the vehicle, and
tries to avoid a collision or mitigate its consequences by automatically applying
the brakes where necessary.
The area in front of the vehicle is monitored by a radar sensor » Fig. 129 on
page 106 .WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 96, in section Introduction .■
The system does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
CAUTION
In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the electri-
cally connected trailer, the system becomes unavailable.
Radar sensor
Fig. 129
Installation location of the radar
sensor
Read and observe and on page 106 first.
The radar sensor » Fig. 129(hereinafter referred to as the sensor) may detect
objects by emitting and receiving electromagnetic waves.
The sensor function may be impaired in the events of one of the following. ▶ The sensor cover is soiled (e.g. with mud, snow and the like).
▶ The area in front of and around the sensor cover is obscured (e.g. by labels,
auxiliary headlights and the like).
▶ When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
If the sensor is dirty or covered, the corresponding message appears on the
display of the instrument cluster » page 108, Malfunctions .
WARNING■
If you suspect that the sensor is damaged, deactivate the system. Have
the sensor checked by a specialist garage.■
A collision or damage in the front or lower area of the vehicle could affect
the sensor function - there is risk of accident! Have the sensor checked by
a specialist garage.
■
Do not cover the area in front of and around the sensor cover. This can
lead to impaired function of the sensor - risk of accidents!
CAUTION
Remove the snow with a brush and the ice with a solvent-free de-icer.
Operation
Read and observe
and on page 106 first.
The system support is provided in the following manner.▶ Alerts you about a dangerous proximity to the vehicle ahead.
▶ Warns you of an impending collision.
▶ Assists with a brake action triggered by the driver.
▶ If the driver fails to respond to a detected danger, an automatic braking ac-
tion is performed.
The system can work only if the following basic conditions are met. The system is activated.
TCS is activated » page 97.
The vehicle is travelling forwards at a speed of more than approx. 5 km/h.
Note
The system can be impaired or may not be available, for example when driving
in “sharp ”curves or with an ESC engagement » page 97.106Driving

If the distance-warning function was deactivated before the ignition was
switched off, it remains deactivated after the ignition is switched on again.WARNINGIn the following situations, Front Assist should be switched off for safety
reasons.■
When the vehicle is being towed away.
■
When the vehicle is on a rolling test bench.
■
If an unfounded warning or a system action was taken.
■
When on a truck, or a car ferry service or similar.
Malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 106 first.
If, for some unknown reason, the system is not available, an appropriate mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
Sensor covered / dirty
If the sensor is dirty or covered, a message indicating that there is no sensor
view appears. Clean the sensor cover or remove the obstacle » Fig. 129 on
page 106 .
System unavailable
If the system is currently unavailable, a message concerning the unavailability
appears. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and then start it again. If the
system still is not available, seek the assistance of a specialist garage.
Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as the system) recom-
mends the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detec-
ted due to the driver's steering behaviour.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes. 

WARNING■When washing your vehicle in the winter: Water and ice in the braking
system can affect the braking efficiency – risk of accident!■
Take care when cleaning the underbody or the inside of the wheel wells -
there is a risk of injury from sharp metal parts!
CAUTION
■ Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight, do not exert pressure on the body
while washing. The temperature of the washing water should be no more than
60 °C max. - otherwise there is a risk of damaging the vehicle paint.■
Before driving through a car wash fold in the exterior mirrors - risk of dam-
age.
■
For vehicles with roof antenna the antenna rod should be unscrewed before
driving through a car wash - there is a risk of damage.
CAUTION
Washing the vehicle with high-pressure cleaners■Films should not be washed with any high-pressure cleaners - risk of dam-
age.■
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.
■
Hold a large spraying distance to the rear camera lens, to plastic parts (e.g.
Roof racks, spoilers, protective strips and the like), as well as soft materials
such as rubber hoses or insulation material.
■
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.
