Parking Aid - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

The TCS should normally always be switched on. It may be advisable to switch off
the system only in exceptional circumstances, such as:
›
when driving with snow chains;
›
when driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface;
›
when it is necessary to "rock a vehicle free" when it has got stuck.
The TCR can be deactivated in the Infotainment or with the button
» Fig. 106 » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle

systems (CAR button).
The warning light lights up in the instrument cluster when the TCR is deactiva-

ted.
Ensure the TCS is activated again afterwards.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 112.
If one of the wheels starts to spin, the EDL system brakes the spinning wheel and
transfers the driving force to the other wheels. This ensures the stability of the
vehicle and a quick journey.
The EDL switches off automatically if severe stresses exist in order to avoid ex-
cessive heat generation in the disc brake on the wheel which is being braked. The
vehicle can continue to be driven and has the same characteristics as a vehicle
not fitted with EDL. The EDL switches on again automatically as soon as the
brake has cooled down.

parking and manoeuvring.
Information about setting acoustic signals/description of the display in the Info-
tainment display » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehi-
cle systems (CAR button).
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the bumper
and an obstacle. The ultrasound sensors are integrated in the front/rear bumper.
The system only operates if the ignition is switched on.
