Skoda Octavia Front Parking Sensors with Optical Display
Make parking and low-speed manoeuvring easier with a complete Skoda Octavia front parking sensor retrofit. The system uses original components and integrates with the compatible navigation or radio display to provide both audible warnings and a visual representation of nearby obstacles.
Four colour-coded ultrasonic sensors monitor the area in front of the vehicle. Therefore, the system helps you judge the remaining space when approaching walls, posts, parked vehicles, kerbs and other obstacles that may be difficult to see from the driver’s seat.
As the Octavia moves closer to an object, the warning tones become more frequent. At the same time, the Optical Parking System displays the location of detected obstacles on the compatible centre screen. As a result, you receive both audio and visual guidance for more precise manoeuvring.
The installer fits the sensors flush within the front bumper and colour matches them to the vehicle. Consequently, the completed retrofit maintains a clean, factory appearance.
How It Works
The system uses four ultrasonic sensors across the front bumper. When Park Pilot is active, the sensors scan the area ahead of the Octavia and measure the distance to nearby obstacles.
If the sensors detect an object, the included buzzer produces an audible warning. Initially, the tones sound slowly while the object remains further away. However, as the vehicle moves closer, the warnings become more frequent.
Meanwhile, the compatible navigation or radio display shows a visual representation of the vehicle and indicates the position of nearby obstacles. Therefore, you can use both the warning tones and optical display to judge distance more accurately.
A dedicated park assistance button allows you to switch the front sensors on or off when required. This gives you convenient control when entering garages, narrow parking spaces or other confined areas.
