Hi all have had a long day of very narrow lanes with high sides and plenty of stop start for passing oncoming traffic with mirrors folded back . Then in the same journey on slightly easier roads two orange icons appeared, looks like the ‘warning and auto braking’ system to me.  After a couple of miles the road widened and the lights went out… front sensor looks clean to me no mud. Photo attached have I got the right idea? Just overwhelmed it a bit maybe?

Zoomed photo a bit

Mine did the same last week whilst on rural roads with long grass leaning into the road.

 

The radar behind the central panel on the front grill used for the Front Assist features doesn’t like the vegetation and disables itself.

 

My lights also extinguished once I made it back onto wider roads.

Why guess when the information is readily available to you in the Owner's Manual, - https://manual.skoda-auto.com/004/en-com/Models

 

 

 

ETA: and don't be using your phone whilst you were driving or put out photos on public platforms suggesting you were - I'm sure your passenger took that photo which your reverse dashcam will confirm. 🫠

Thanks both , I wonder if the pdf I have is a bit early it seems to try to cover everything but does a bad job of all of it it and is full of spelling errors and logical mistakes. Definitely didn’t see those for instance they look perfect thanks. I’ll get a new version from that link.

Put your VIN in as you want the versing relevant to your vehicle as later ones may have variances not applicable to your car.  If there's a pdf I'd have thought the car should have come with a paper printed version when it was new, though if the car was purchased s/h from a Dealership/garage the manual could have been taken from another car of not quite the same age. 

 

 

I've always recommended reading the Owner's Manual, even when considering a vehicle before buying it, but they have to cover so much now and are not always in plain English and of course have errors and omissions but still if you refer to them they can save time, hassle and money from unnecessary or premature parts purchases and/or visits to the Dealers\garage\mechanic\auto-electrician, but the VWŠkoda manuals do seem to get worse the newer the vehicle.  I prefer the paper printed versions or even a pdf version of that over a virtual(?) more modern version or those horrid videos that seem to tell you next to nothing.  VW is odd and annoying in not giving the widely accepted UK fluid descriptions or fill capacities.

 

I call the amber triangle warning light the triangle of doom, often warns of nothing or even falsely but of course like the boy that cried wolf you can't ignore it.

 

I find some of these "driver aids" to be like a very nervous or over-cautious passenger that's a very inexperienced or non driver that actually interferes with the driver and driver controls.  My wife's 2015 Fabia front "assist" put the brakes on whilst she was driving slowly in town traffic for no reason then she saw a bag blowing in the wind.  I particularly dislike lane "assist" and blind spot warning especially when they combine their efforts on say a dual-carriage way, then there's start/stop at roundabouts and the combined systems that think about letting the car accelerate and   .   .   .   such is life with modern vehicles. 😆     

lol yes videos that tell you nothing except demonstrate the matching lifestyle , I know the ones
