Rear traffic alert and wizard for “Blind spot”Monitoring



Introduction

Fig. 266 

Installation location of the radar

sensors

The Rear Traffic Alert and Wizard for “blind spot” monitoring works based on

the information from the radar sensors in the rear bumper 

» Fig. 266

. The radar

sensors are not visible from the outside.

Rear Traffic Alert

The Rear Traffic Alert (hereinafter referred to as system) warns when leaving a

parking space from a transverse parking space about any approaching vehi-

cles.
If necessary, the system tries to avoid a collision with automatic braking, or at

least to mitigate the consequences.

Wizard for “blind spot”monitoring

The wizard for“blind spot monitoring” (hereafter referred to as system) draws

attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so-

called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even

directly from the vehicle.

WARNING

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance sys-

tems 

» page 214,

   in section Introduction.

WARNING

■

In the case of a collision or damage to the rear of the vehicle, the function

of the systems may be affected - risk of accident! Have the vehicle

checked by a specialist garage.

■

Do not cover the sensor area - the function of the systems could be limi-

ted.

■

Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the sensor environment im-

mediately.

WARNING

The wizard for “blind spot”monitoring is limited by physical and system-re-

lated limits. Therefore, in the following situations the system can be de-

layed in drawing attention (or not at all) to a vehicle in the next land.

■

When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.

■

When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.

CAUTION

■

If a trailer or other accessory is to be connected to the trailer socket, then

the two systems are not available.

■

In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high

temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise

a vehicle”.

■

Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,

can impair the system function.



Read and observe   and   on page 223 first.

With the ignition switched on, the area next to and behind the vehicle is moni-

tored by the radar sensors of the system. If an approaching vehicle is detected

from the rear of the vehicle 

» Fig. 267

, the system warns of this fact.

Warning - vehicles with parking aid

You will hear a continuous tone and one of the following warning levels ap-

pears on the Infotainment screen

Warning - vehicles without parking sensors

An acoustic signal is sounded and information for the driver to observe the

traffic behind is shown in the instrument cluster.

Automatic emergency braking

If the driver does not react to the warning and the system detects an impend-

ing collision, then this can trigger an automatic braking at a speed up to 10

km/h. A corresponding message is shown in the information cluster display.

Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - Operation



Read and observe   and   on page 223 first.

At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-

tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in

speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can

be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of

a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-

cle by the indicator light 



 in the exterior mirror.

System limitation

The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.

Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further

lane.

▶

When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.

▶

Driving around a bend.

The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barri-

ers, noise barriers or similar objects.

Park Assist



Introduction

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 219

 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.

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems 

» page 214,

   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.



227

Assist systems

■

Do not use the system if snow chains or an emergency wheel are fitted.

■

If wheels other than those approved by ŠKODA AUTO are fitted, the result-

ing 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 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. Intervene in time if necessary.

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. 272

During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-

leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set

speed.

Speed limiter



Introduction

The Speed Limiter limits the maximum driving speed to the set speed limit.
The speed limit can only be exceeded by depressing the accelerator pedal fully.
The condition in which the Speed Limiter prevents a potential set speed limit

excess is referred to as Regulation.

WARNING

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance sys-

tems

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)



Introduction

The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set

speed and at the same time the distance to the vehicle ahead without the ac-

celerator or brake pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by

a radar sensor 

» page 214

.

The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described

as control from here on.

WARNING

■

Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance

systems 

» page 214,

   in section Introduction.

■

The driver must always be ready to take over the operation of the accel-

erator and brake pedal.

■

The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as

traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.

■

The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.

■

If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-

cle's foot brake.

WARNING

For safety reasons, do not use the ACC under the following conditions.

■

When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to

avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.

■

When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).

■

When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).

■

Driving in “sharp” corners or in steep gradients / on steep inclines.

■

When driving through places where metal objects (such as metal build-

ings, railway tracks, etc.) can be found.

■

When driving through very divided and enclosed spaces (such as large-

capacity garages, car ferries, tunnels and the like.).

Note

■

The ACC is designed primarily for use on motorways.

■

The ACC reduces the speed by automatically releasing the accelerator or by

means of a braking procedure as appropriate. If the brakes are used for an au-

tomatic speed reduction at any moments, then the brake light illuminates.

■

In case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the con-

nected trailer, the ACC becomes unavailable.

■

The control automatically cancels the engagement of the brake supportive

assistance systems (e.g. ESC) or when the maximum permitted engine speed is

exceeded.

The ACC makes it possible to set a speed of 30-160 or 30-210 km/h (depend-

ing on equipment fitted) as well as the distance to preceding vehicles.
The ACC can detect a vehicle that is up to approx. 150 m ahead using the radar

sensor.

Note to reduce speed

If the delay of the ACC is insufficient in relation to the vehicle in front, the

warning light 



 lights up in the instrument cluster and the display shows a

message to engage the brake pedal.

Regulation according to the vehicle in the adjacent lane

During regulation your vehicle may be regulated according to the vehicle in the

adjacent lane.
This could occur at speeds above about 80 km/h when your vehicle is moving

faster than the vehicle in the adjacent lane on the driver's side. The display

shows the detected vehicle is in the adjacent lane.

Note

Some ACC notifications in the display of the instrument cluster may be hidden

by notifications for other functions. An ACC notification automatically appears

for a brief moment when there is a change in status of the ACC.

Automatic stopping and starting



Read and observe   on page 235 first.

Vehicles with an automatic transmission can decelerate to a standstill and

start moving again using the ACC.

Decelerate to a standstill

If a vehicle ahead decelerates to a standstill, the ACC will also decelerate your

vehicle to a standstill.

Starting to drive again after a holding period

As soon as the vehicle ahead starts moving again after a holding period, your

vehicle will also move and the speed will continue to be regulated.
If the preceding vehicle starts moving again after a long break, then to contin-

ue the regulation press the accelerator pedal or lever to set the lever in 

position
