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 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

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.

The Rear Traffic Alert and Wizard for “blind spot” monitoring works based on
the information from the radar sensors in the rear bumper » Fig. 273. The radar
sensors are not visible from the outside.
Rear Traffic Alert
The Rear Traffic Alert (hereinafter referred to as system) warns when leaving a
parking space from a transverse parking space about any approaching vehi-
cles.
If necessary, the system tries to avoid a collision with automatic braking, or at
least to mitigate the consequences.
Wizard for “blind spot”monitoring
The wizard for“blind spot monitoring” (hereafter referred to as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so-
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle.WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 215, in section Introduction .WARNING■
In the case of a collision or damage to the rear of the vehicle, the function
of the systems may be affected - risk of accident! Have the vehicle checked
by a specialist garage.■
Do not cover the sensor area - the function of the systems could be limi-
ted. ■ Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the sensor environment im-
mediately.
WARNINGThe wizard for “blind spot”monitoring is limited by physical and system-re-
lated limits. Therefore, in the following situations the system can be de-
layed in drawing attention (or not at all) to a vehicle in the next land.■
When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.
■
When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.
CAUTION
■ If a trailer or other accessory is to be connected to the trailer socket, then
the two systems are not available.■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise
a vehicle”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.

Park Assist (following referred to system) helps drivers park in suitable parallel
and perpendicular parking places or also to manoeuvre out of parallel parking
spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements only when parking or leaving a
parking space. The driver operates the brake, accelerator or clutch pedal and
the shift / selector lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The Park Assist is an extension of the parking aid » page 220 and operates on
the basis of data collected by the ultrasonic sensors.
For this reason, the chapter on the parking aid is to be read carefully and the safety notes are to be observed. 
