2015 SKODA OCTAVIA parking brake

Multi collision brake (MCB)Read and observe
on page 136 first.
The MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision through automatic braking
interventions and to stabilize the vehicle. This reduces the risk of a subse-
quent crash due to uncontrolled vehicle movement.
The automatic brake interventions can take place only if the following condi-
tions are met.
A head-on or side collision occurred.
The impact speed was higher than approx. 10 km/h.
The brakes, the ESC and other required electrical systems remain function-
al after impact.
The accelerator pedal is not actuated.
Trailer stabilization system (TSA)
Read and observe
on page 136 first.
The TSA helps the combination stable in situations where the trailer sways
and then the whole trailer combination.
TSA brakes the individual wheels of the towing vehicle in order to damp the
rocking motion of the entire vehicle combination.
The following conditions are required for the correct TSA function. The trailer was shipped from the factory or purchased from the ŠKODA
genuine accessories.
The trailer is electrically connected to the towing vehicle by means of the
trailer socket.
The parking aid is activated.
The speed is higher than approx. 60 km/h.

The OFF ROAD mode includes several features that help to overcome difficult
navigable routes when travelling on non-paved roads.
But even with OFF ROAD mode activated, your vehicle is never a true SUV.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 135, in section Introduction .■
A lack of fuel can cause irregular engine running or cause the engine to
shut down. This would lead the OFF ROAD mode to lose its effectiveness -
risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ The OFF ROAD mode is not designed for the use on common roads.■All four wheels must be fitted with the same tyres approved by the manufac-
turer to ensure theOFF ROAD mode operates correctly.138Driving

NoteDuring an active intervention of the assistant, the brake lights do not light up.
ESC OFF ROADRead and observe
and on page 138 first.
The ESC OFF ROAD makes driving on a dirt roads easier, as no ESC interven-
tions occur when the vehicle is over or under steered.
TCSOFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 138 first.
The TCS OFF ROAD makes starting and driving on an unpaved surface easier as
it partially allows wheel-spin.
Note
When disabled, the TCS » page 136 OFF ROAD mode works without the sup-
port of the TCS OFF ROAD.
EDS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 138 first.
The EDS supports OFF ROAD vehicle traction when driving on a surface with
different grip under the drive wheels or when driving over bumps.
A spinning wheel or wheels are braked earlier and with more force than with
the intervention of the standard EDS system.
ABS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 138 first.
The ABS OFF ROAD supports the driver when braking on an unpaved surface
such as gravel, snow, etc.
The system generated by a controlled locking of the wheels braked wheel be-
fore a “wedge” of piled material, which shortens the braking distance.
The system is only available, if the front wheels are in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
The system operates at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as system) draws attention via acous-
tic signals or the Infotainment display when manoeuvring around obstacles in
the vicinity of the vehicle.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 135, in section Introduction .■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. For this reason, such people or
objects may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors. Un-
der adverse conditions, this may cause objects or people not to be recog-
nised by the system.
■
You should satisfy yourself before reversing that there is no small obsta-
cle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your ve-
hicle. Such obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■ Keep the system sensors » Fig. 157 on page 141 clean, and free from snow
and ice, and do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system
functioning may be limited.■
Under adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or
high temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “incorrect recog-
nition of obstacle”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.
Note
The display of obstacles in the Infotainment black and white display is descri-
bed in the » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - vehicle settings .140Driving

The area behind the vehicle is displayed when the following conditions are
met.
The ignition is switched on.
Reverse gear is engaged. 1)
The luggage compartment lid is completely closed.
The vehicle is not travelling at more than about 10 km/h.
Note
■ The display can be interrupted by pressing the symbol key  » Fig. 158 on

Automatic brake assist when speeding
If a velocity of 7 km / h is exceeded during the parking manoeuvre for the first
time, the speed will be automatically reduced by the system to less than 7 km /
h. This prevents the parking manoeuvre from aborting.
Automatic emergency braking
If the system detects a risk of collision during parking, automatic emergency
braking takes place to prevent a collision.
The parking is terminated by the emergency braking.
CAUTION
The automatic emergency braking is not triggered by the system when the
parking process stops due to the speed of 7 km/h being exceeded!
