Škoda Remote Park Assist Explained: Effortless Parking Using Your Smartphone

Parking in tight spaces can be one of the most stressful parts of driving – especially in busy towns, car parks, or residential streets. Selected Škoda models now offer an innovative solution with Remote Park Assist, an advanced feature that allows you to park and unpark your car using your smartphone.

Available on a range of new Škoda vehicles, this clever technology builds on the brand’s well-known automatic parking systems and adds even more convenience, safety, and flexibility.

What Is Škoda Remote Park Assist?

Remote Park Assist is an enhanced version of Škoda’s automatic parking technology. While traditional systems require the driver to remain inside the car, Remote Park Assist allows you to control parking manoeuvres from outside the vehicle using the MyŠkoda app on your smartphone.

The system supports:

Parallel parking
Perpendicular (bay) parking
Remote unparking, ideal for tight spaces

An automatic transmission is required, and the feature is typically available as part of selected trim levels or optional equipment packages.

Which Škoda Models Support Remote Park Assist?

Depending on model year and specification, Remote Park Assist is available on selected Škoda vehicles, including:

Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé
Elroq
Kodiaq
Superb
Octavia

Availability can vary, so it’s always best to check with your local Škoda retailer to confirm which models and trims support the feature.

How Does Remote Park Assist Work?

The system is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Once your vehicle is paired with the MyŠkoda app, you can choose whether to park from inside or outside the car.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Remote Park Assist

Press the Automatic Parking button inside the vehicle to begin scanning for a suitable space.
Once a parallel or perpendicular space is detected, follow the instructions on the infotainment screen.
Choose whether to stay in the car or park remotely.
For remote parking, select the smartphone icon on the screen and wait for the prompt to exit the vehicle.
Exit the car with both your phone and car key.
Open the MyŠkoda app and select the Remote Parking option.
Follow the on-screen guidance and keep the confirmation button pressed throughout the manoeuvre for safety.

Perfect for Tight Parking Spaces

Remote Park Assist is especially useful when space is limited. While Škoda doesn’t specify a minimum space requirement – as conditions vary – the system makes it far easier to park in spots that would normally be challenging.

From perpendicular spaces, the car reverses out in a straight line, giving passengers more room to enter.
From parallel spaces, the car pulls forward automatically, allowing you to drive away smoothly without complex steering.

If an obstacle is detected at any point, the system immediately stops the manoeuvre.

Safe, Smart and Driver Controlled

Safety is at the heart of Remote Park Assist. Sensors around the vehicle continuously monitor the surroundings, and the system will stop instantly if something unexpected appears.

Additional safety measures include:

The manoeuvre stops if you lift your finger from the app button
The system only works within close proximity (around 3.5 metres, up to a maximum of 5 metres)
The driver must always remain responsible for the vehicle and keep it in sight

This balance of automation and driver oversight ensures confidence without compromising safety.
