What on earth is safe park?

How does the tyre pressure monitoring work? What is the button by the gearshift for?

Thanks

Isn't safe park another term for parking sensors? And the other 2 I can't help you with I'm afraid, I have an old model which at the time didn't require TPM as it wasn't an EU requirement and the button by the gearshift? Can you possibly take a photo to better explain it so either I or someone else can figure it out 

I thought Safe Park was the system that prevented the car being opened from inside the car when it had been locked from the outside (ie with the remote). This prevents the doors from being opened even if a window has been smashed. I believe it is disabled by a double click of the remote lock button.

 

The TPM works by measuring the circumference of each revolution of each wheel (using the ABS sensors?); if it registers a difference from the 'set' measurements you get a 'Check Tyres' warning. It doesn't actually measure the tyre pressures at all. The button by the gear lever is the TPM 'set' button but only works when the vehicle is stationary and with the ignition (but not the engine) on. Press and hold for a minimum of 2 seconds and this should re-set the system.

Tyre pressure monitor. Tells you that one of the tyres is deflated.

You don't need to press the button unless you check/inflate the tyres then press the button and it sets it at those pressures. You'll get a warning on the dash if you have a deflating tyre.

And as above. Beat me to it [emoji4]

Great answers that's what I needed to know.

A question to all the more-knowledgeable menschen out there!

It is shown in the handbook of my (new last month) Citigo Elegance, that there were "cup holders" fitted to the outside bases of both of the rear seats.

Not having them on mine, I checked on the lack, at the supplying Dealership. The even-existence of these came as a total revelation to everyone in the Dealership, & the (eventual) census of opinion, was that they weren't actually supplied to UK vehicles - perhaps just those built for the Siberian? Icelandic?? Madagascan??? markets.

As they would be of quite considerable use to me, & I would like to install them (if at all possible) has anyone got any more-specialised info about them?

Thanks in anticipation.

I had them on my 3 door Sport. They're built into the rear side panels.

This ^ don't think they exist on 5dr and judging by the answer you got from the dealer, I take it you bought the car from Westover Skoda :yes:

3 door only

Thanks for the info guys, and I guess that I'll just have to manage without them.

And to David - Nope, gorrit from the |Skoda dealership in Hull, but they presumably didn't know any more than Westover?

You would think (in this day & age) that Dealerships would be totally au fait with every last tiny little aspect of the cars that they sell!!!

Except any new models clearly

A rather belated (sorry about that)reply to bigredbus 4468. On my new citigo, "Park Safe" (whatever THII) shows up on the Speedo central info panel, as soon as I switch the ignition off - no button down by the gear lever, so evidently the latest models have had some amendments/improvements, and now it's not left to the discretion of the driver. And just for general info, having now done a 150 & a 400+ miles round trip, (& having literally brimmed the tank after both trips) it appears that I'm getting around the low 60's mpg - & that included some minutes of 85+ on the AI(M), & an awful lot of changing down in the Lake District.

Can't complain about that, & have yet to put 1,000 miles on the car. It's all looking good!!!

So do current models say "Safe Park" (or "Park Safe" - which is it?) on the LCD display when you switch off the ignition?

 

My Citigo is two years old now, and says "Safe Lock", which is to do with deadlocking, and was discussed in another topic some time ago.

Is "Safe Park" the same thing, or something different?

Hi Tom_I,

The term is "Safe Park" (at least it is on mine, I've just checked) - but what's in a name? EXACTLY what it does, I've yet to work out. I wasn't provided with a Manual in the form of a handbook, and whilst I have downloaded the Full Monty from Skoda's Site, there's someth8ing like 160+ pages - and I'm not prepared for the *******s-Breaking job of printing them all off. At periodic intervals, I tap into it, and read a few pages, but it's not the same as sitting in the car with the handbook open in front of you, where it all makes much more sense.

What does impact on me more at the moment, is that when it's raining (not all THAT usual in the UK, surely)& one has the window open, even a fraction, there's a steady stream of water that drops onto the electric switchgear on the armrest, and more importantly, on me. Either very, VERY poor design, or some bean-counter simply trying to save a few centimos?
