2014 SKODA OCTAVIA cruise control

This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output
and braking power of the engine.WARNINGIf the engine power or engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain the
set speed, the driver must take control of vehicle operation.

If no speed is set, the current speed is used.
At the start of the control process, the CCS regulates the vehicle to the current
speed, and this speed is shown on the instrument cluster display. The warning
light  illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Automatic control interruption
Automatic control interruption occurs if any of the following conditions are
met.
› The brake pedal is operated.
› When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
› Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■
Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
tional switching on of the system.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
Note
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.

Adaptive cruise control (from here on referred to only as ACC) can maintain the
set speed or the proximity to the vehicle ahead consistently, without the need
to operate the gas or brake pedals.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on. 

Automatic stop-startRead and observe
and on page 150 first.
Vehicles with an automatic transmission can decelerate to a standstill and
start moving again using the ACC.
Decelerate to a standstill
If a vehicle ahead decelerates to a standstill, the ACC will also decelerate your
vehicle to a standstill.
Starting to drive again after a holding period
As soon as the vehicle ahead starts moving again after a holding period, your
vehicle will also move and the speed will continue to be regulated. Control is
automatically disconnected in case of longer holding periods.
Depress the brake pedal.

Start control
Read and observe
and on page 150 first.
Basic requirements for start of control ACC is enabled.
TCS is enabled » page 138, Braking and stabilisation systems .
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the second gear or higher must
be engaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the selector lever must be in
the D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
On vehicles with a manual transmission , the current speed must be higher
than approx. 25 km/h.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the current speed must be
higher than approx. 2 km/h.
The control be started with the key  or by adjusting the lever

152Driving

Engine (drive)
The vehicle acceleration is more dynamic than in Normal mode.
The engine noise is noticeable in the interior more intensely than in
normalmode 1)
.
Steering
The power steering is reduced slightly, i.e., the driver needs to exert more
force for steering .
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
The acceleration is quicker than in normal mode with distance con-
trol » page 149 .
Adaptive headlights (AHL)
The headlights adapt to the driving style more dynamically than in mode
Normal » page 74 .
ProActive passenger protection
The first level of protection is deactivated » page 161.
Ecomode
Read and observe
on page 160 first.
This mode is suitable for a relaxed style of driving and helps to save fuel.
Selecting this mode primarily affects the function of the following systems.
Engine (drive)
Vehicle acceleration is more relaxed than in Normal mode.
The recommended gear is controlled such to achieve the lowest possible fuel
consumption » page 46.
When the START-STOP system was deactivated manually » page 158, it is au-
tomatically activated.
The automatic gearbox is set automatically to mode E » page 133 .
The engine noise is felt less intensely in the interior less than in normalmode 1)
.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Acceleration occurs more relaxed than in Normal » page 149mode with dis-
tance control.
Adaptive headlights (AHL)
The system is automatically deactivated » page 74.
Air conditioning (Climatronic)
The air conditioning is controlled so as to save energy. For this reason, for ex-
ample, it may take longer to reach the desired interior temperature in mode
Normal.
Note
■ The Eco driving mode is not available when towing a trailer. When the vehicle
is connected electrically to a trailer and is in the Eco driving mode, the Normal
driving mode is configured automatically.■
The maximum vehicle acceleration (kickdown function) is possible also in
driving mode Eco.

on page 160 first.
In mode Individual you can select between Normal, Sport and Eco for each sys-tem separately » Operating instructions for Infotainment , chapter Vehicle set-
tings .
ProActive passenger protection
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
162
ProActive passenger protection (From here on referred to only as system) in-
creases passenger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to
vehicle impact or overturning.
WARNING■ The increased safety by ProActive passenger protection must not tempt
you to take greater risks than otherwise – risk of accident!■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions. 
