Park Assist (following referred to system) helps drivers park in suitable parallel
and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of parallel parking
spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements only when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal and
the shift / selector lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid » page 215 and operates on
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the safety notes are to be observed. 
225Assist systems

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 212, 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 good time.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km/h.■The parking procedure can be stopped at any time by pressing the 
» Fig. 282 on page 226 button or by a steering intervention.OperationFig. 282
System button
Read and observe and on page 226 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.
▶ Based on the calculated road surface, the front wheels will be 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 is travelling at less than 40 km/h.
The vehicle is travelling at less than 20 km/h.
The distance to a number of parked vehicles is approximately 0.5 - 1.5 m.
TCS is activated » page 214.
The system can only carry out the parking procedure if the following basic con-
ditions are met.
The vehicle is travelling at less than 7 km/h.
The parking procedure takes less than 6 minutes.
There is no driver intervention in the automatic steering operation.
TCS is activated » page 214.
The TCS does not engage.
No trailer or other accessory is connected to the trailer socket. 

228Driving

Advance warning
If the system detects a risk of collision, the warning light appears on the dis-
play 
» Fig. 300 and an audible signal is emitted.
The pre-warning display can occur in the following situations.
▶ If there is a risk of collision with a moving obstacle at a driving speed range
of approx. 30 km/h to approx. 210 km/h.
▶ If there is a risk of collision with a stationary obstacle at a driving speed
range of approx. 30 km/h to approx. 85 km/h.
With a warning the brake pedal must be pressed or the moving obstacle is to
be avoided!
Acute alert
If the driver does not react to the advance warning when in danger of a colli-
sion with a moving obstacle, the system briefly applies the brake automatically
via an active brake intervention to draw attention to the potential danger of a
collision again.
Automatic Braking
If the driver does not respond to acute warning, the system begins to auto-
matically brake the vehicle.
If an automatic brake intervention is triggered by the system, the pressure in
the brake system increases and the brake pedal cannot be operated with the
normal pedal stroke.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
Brake assist
If the driver brakes inadequate with an impending collision, the system auto-
matically increases braking force.
The braking assistance only occurs as long as the brake pedal is being firmly
pressed down.Deactivation/activationFig. 301

If the sensor cover or the sensor is dirty or covered, a message appears on the
instrument cluster display stating there is no sensor view. Clean the sensor
cover or remove the obstacles » Fig. 264 on page 212 .
If there is no sensor view in the winter, the snow on the sensor under the cov- er could be the reason. The system is functional again after the snow melts
away from the sensor.
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.

Function
242
ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.
WARNINGPlease take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .
Note
■
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 37 ,  Safety systems .■
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning func-
tion for the front passenger seat is switched off.
Function
Read and observe
on page 242 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden changein direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ Opened door windows in the front doors are closed automatically up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position. 
