Technology - New ŠKODA Yeti

Rear view camera as Optical Parking Assistant

Enjoy easy parking with the Optical Parking Assistant, using a camera in the tailgate handle. It is automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged. Combined exclusively with the Amundsen and Columbus navigations, the system uses their displays to show the space behind the car and to indicate the driving line, based on the vehicle width. The camera is always supplied with parking sensors and can be combined with the second-generation Automatic Parking Assistant.

Comfort Features

The utilisation of new technologies is no end in itself. ŠKODA’s supreme goal has always been to make driving a car as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. To this end, the ŠKODA Yeti provides a series of electric and electronic features: from heated windscreen and foldable outside mirrors to smart air conditioning.

Automatically retractable external rearview mirrors with boarding spots

Second-generation Automatic Parking Assistant

Climatronic dual-zone climate control

The electronically controlled ŠKODA Climatronic climate control lets you enjoy the comfort of automatically maintained temperature in the car. The Climatronic has two zones, so driver and passenger can set their own temperatures. It uses sensors and mechanisms to gauge and adjust the temperature and both the speed and direction of air flowing into cabin. It is also able to compensate for the sun radiation by more intensive cooling, so the driver doesn’t have to change the temperature settings.

KESSY – Keyless Entry, Start and exit System

Open or close the door, start or stop the engine, all without using a single key? That is the comfort provided by the KESSY (Keyless Entry Start and Exit System). The driver still carries the key to the vehicle with him, but no needs to hold the key in hand to open and start the ŠKODA Yeti. If the driver operates the door handle or the hatch of the boot, the vehicle will unlock automatically. Starting the car is also done via the push of a button, located to the right of the steering column.

Heated windshield

The heated windshield will come most handy to the drivers who often park outside. The heating is turned on with the button on the centre console, warming the windshield and loosening the frost, which can then be removed with the wipers. The windshield is heated by thin wires, evenly spaced throughout the whole windshield surface to provide its effective warming.

Automatically retractable external rearview mirrors with boarding spots

Automatic retraction means that when continually pressing the “lock the car” button on the remote control the rearview mirrors fold automatically. Mirrors are protected from potential damage when parking in the city streets, tighter garages or on full parking lots. Boarding Spots, the entry area illumination, are integrated in rearview mirrors, and manage to safely board or exit the ŠKODA Yeti even when outside it is pitch dark.

Second-generation Automatic Parking Assistant

Drivers in cities will appreciate the Automatic Parking Assistant. After a simple press of a button, a car is able to find a large enough gap between parked cars. The car’s electronics turn the steering wheel, while the driver adjusts the speed using the pedals. Parking is made even easier by the Optical Parking Assistant with a camera in the handle of the tailgate which displays the area behind the vehicle and features a line of travel the width of the vehicle.

Infotainment

With its vast range of radios, navigations, multimedia sockets and connectivity options, the Yeti is here to turn every journey you make into a pleasant and joyful experience.

MDI – Multimedia-device interface

MDI allows you to easily play music from external device (MP3 player, cell phone) in your car. The connected device is controlled via ŠKODA radio or navigation system. Information about the currently playing track are shown on the radio/navigation system display, and also on the Maxi DOT display in front of the driver. Connecting cables with the iPod, iPhone, mini USB, USB or Aux-in (3,5mm jack) are available from the ŠKODA Genuine Accessories.

Bluetooth hands-free

When connected to a mobile phone, the handsfree uses wireless Bluetooth technology to provide comfortable and safe telephone use while driving. It enables also A2DP audio streaming and it can maintain two simultaneous Bluetooth wireless connections - one for mobile phone and the other for external audio devices. The entire system can be operated using voice control, the Maxi DOT display, the multifunctional steering wheel or the audio system touch display.

Columbus multimedia navigation

The GPS system offers comfortable directions to the selected destination, thanks to quick calculation and precise presentation of the travel route. Columbus navigation system is controlled via 6,5” colour LCD touchscreen with high resolution of 800x480 pixels. Voice control is available to operate functions in Radio, Media, Phone, Map or Navi mode. Music in MP3 or WMA formats can be stored on the 30GB hard drive, with 10GB of space dedicated for navigation data.

Swing radio

The typical feature of the Swing radio is its bespoke styling. One of its many handy features is speed volume control. When driving at high speeds, the volume increases automatically and returns to the original level after you slow down. Also, you will surely appreciate the RDS-TMC function, which serves to inform you about current traffic situation. Enabled with Aux-in external audio input (3.5mm jack), the Swing radio enables playback from external audio device (e.g. MP3 player).

12-Speaker Sound System

The powerful ŠKODA Sound System uses 12 speakers, three in each door of the vehicle. To achieve perfect sound, an external amplifier with sound processor and maximum output of 4x40W plus 6x20W. The system also offers wide range of settings thanks to a digital equalizer and switching between three modes of 3D sounds optimisation.
