Rear View Camera
Introduction
The rear view camera (following as system) helps the driver when parking and
manoeuvring by displaying the area behind the vehicle on Infotainment screen
(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
.
WARNING
■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems
■
The system displays auxiliary boxes and lines regardless of the current ve-
hicle environment. The driver is responsible for checking that there is no
obstacle in the selected parking space and that the vehicle can safely park
in this space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system func-
tion will be significantly affected - there is a risk of accident. For informa-
tion on cleaning
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.
Note
The camera is equipped with a cleaning system. Spraying takes place automat-
ically, together with spraying the rear or windscreen.

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 entering 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
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
■
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. It is therefore rec-
ommended 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.
■
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 of up to about 5
km/h.
■
The parking procedure can be stopped at any time by pressing the
on page 225 button or by a steering intervention.

Trailer manoeuvring assistant (Trailer Assist)
Introduction
The trailer manoeuvring assistant (below only system) helps the driver when
reversing with a trailer.
When manoeuvring, the system only undertakes the steering movement. 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.
WARNING
■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems
■
The system is not oriented to the area around the vehicle, there is no ob-
stacle detection.
■
During manoeuvring, always observe the movement of the trailer and if
necessary 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.
Note
■
We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed of up to about 5
km/h.
■
The parking process can be terminated at any time by pressing the button
on page 229 or by a steering intervention.
■
The correct system function can only be ensured if a one- or two-axle trailer
is hitched without steered axle.

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
.
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
■
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. 120 m ahead using the radar
sensor.

Status conditions of the ACC
Regulation is inactive (in the colour display the digits of speed limits is
shown in grey).
Regulation active - no vehicle detected (in the colour display the digits of
the speed limits are highlighted).
Regulation deactivated - no speed stored.
Regulation active - vehicle detected (in the colour display the digits of the
speed limits are highlighted).
Note to reduce speed
If the ACC's deceleration 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 234 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. Control is
automatically disconnected in case of longer holding periods.

B
Start control / reduce speed in increments of 1 km/h
If the lever is set from the position directly into the sprung position
the current speed is stored and the control process is started.
Start control
Read and observe on page 234 first.
Basic requirements for start of control
ACC is enabled.
On vehicles with manual transmission, the second gear or a higher gear is
selected and the current speed is greater than 30 km/h.
On vehicles with automatic transmission the selector lever is in the posi-
tion D / S or in the Tiptronic position and the current speed is higher than
2 km / h.
Start control
›
Press the button
›
or: Set the lever into the sprung position
The ACC adopts the current driving speed and performs the control, and the
warning light
illuminates in the instrument cluster.
If control is started by moving the lever to the position and should the
speed be stored already, the ACC adopts this speed and executes control.
Note
If control is started at a speed of less than 30 km/h on vehicles with an auto-
matic transmission, the speed of 30 km/h is stored. The speed increases auto-
matically to 30 km/h or is regulated with respect to the speed of the vehicle
ahead.
