Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
ESC improves vehicle stability in critical driving situations (e.g. if the vehicle
starts to skid) by the braking the individual wheels to maintain the direction.
During an ECS intervention, the warning light  flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
ESC Sport

ESC Sport / ASR system button
Read and observe on page 216 first.
ESC Sport allows for a sportier driving style. With ESC Sport activated, no ESC
intervention takes place when the vehicle slightly oversteers and understeers,
and ASR is so limited that the drive wheels can be spun.

Anti-blocking system (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
The MSR prevents the blocking tendency of the drive wheels when shiftingdown or with an abrupt deceleration (e.g. on icy or otherwise slippery road sur-
faces).
If the drive wheels lock, the engine speed is automatically increased. This re-
duces the braking effect of the engine, and the wheels can rotate freely again.
216Driving

Multicollision brake (MCB)Read and observe
on page 216 first.
MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision by means of automatic braking
interventions and to stabilise 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.
There was a front, side and rear-end collision of a certain severity.
The impact speed was greater than approx. 10 km/h.
The brakes, the ESL and other required electrical systems remain function-
al after impact.
The accelerator pedal is not actuated.
Trailer stabilisation system (TSA)
Read and observe
on page 216 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 via the trailer
socket.
The parking aid is activated.
The speed is greater than 60 km/h.

The OFF ROAD mode includes functions that help to overcome routes that are
difficult to navigate when travelling on non-paved roads.
But even with OFF ROAD mode activated, your vehicle is never a true SUV.
WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 215, in section Introduction .
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 ŠKODA AUTO
to ensure the OFF ROAD mode operates correctly.218Driving

Operating principleFig. 266
OFF ROAD button
Read and observe and on page 218 first.
OFF ROAD mode intervenes at a speed up to 30 km / h.
We recommend that you activate the OFF ROAD mode for every trip on non- paved roads.

Note
If the engine is “stalled” while travelling in OFF ROAD mode, you should check
after engine re-start to see if OFF ROAD mode is still enabled. If necessary, re-
enable thisHill Descent Assistant
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The hill descent assistant (hereinafter referred to as assist system), with its
automatic braking action on all wheels, ensures a constant speed is main-
tained on a steep slope when driving forwards and reversing.
During an intervention, the white warning light 
in the instrument cluster
lights up.
The assist system is automatically engaged under the following conditions. The engine is running.
The OFF ROAD mode is enabled.
The slope is at least 10%.
Neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal is pressed.

Driving speed
Initiate the downhill descent at a reasonable speed of approx. 2 - 30 km / h,
the assist system constantly maintains this speed as you travel downhill.
If a forwards or reverse gear is engaged on vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion , the speed must be high enough to avoid “stalling the engine”.
The driving speed can be changed by pressing the brake or accelerator pedal.
Engagement of the assist system is resumed after the pedal is released. 
219Assist systems

WARNINGFor the correct operation of the assistant the road surface must be suffi-
ciently adherent. The assistant cannot properly fulfil its function on slushy
soil due to physical reasons (e.g. ice or mud). - there is a risk of an accident!
Note
When the wizard brakes the vehicle automatically, then the brake light does
not come on.
ESC OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The ESC OFF ROAD makes driving on dirt roads easier, as no ESC interventions
occur when the vehicle is slightly over or under steered.
TCS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 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 217 OFF ROAD mode works without the sup-
port of the TCS OFF ROAD.
EDL OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 218 first.
The EDS OFF ROAD supports the driver when driving on a surface with differ-
ent 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 218 first.
The ABS OFF ROAD supports the driver when braking on an unpaved surface
(e.g. 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.
Maximum system efficiency is achieved when the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position.

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. It is therefore recommen-
ded that you do not use the system in such situations.
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.■
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
approved by ŠKODA AUTO.
■
Abstain from using the system when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or
a temporary spare wheel.
■
If wheels other than those approved by ŠKODA AUTO are fitted, the resulting
position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoi-
ded by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind or on the curb, the system can drive your
vehicle over the kerb or up to the kerb - there is a risk of damage to the
wheels. If necessary, intervene in time.
Note
■ We recommend performing the parking at a safe speed to about 5 km/h.■The parking procedure can be stopped at any time by pressing the 
» Fig. 289 on page 234 button or by a steering intervention.OperationFig. 289
System button
Read and observe and on page 234 first.
