Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual page 122

The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h,
once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal. This is
only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and brak-
ing power of the engine.
The warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster when the cruise control

system is activated.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
■
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) – risk of accident!
The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
■
traffic conditions.
Always switch off the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
■
tional use of the system.
CAUTION
The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving
■
in areas with steeper gradients. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at
which it travels. Therefore, shift to a lower gear in good time or slow the vehicle
down by applying the foot brake.
It is not possible to switch on the cruise control system on vehicles fitted with a
■
manual gearbox if the first gear or reverse gear is engaged.
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the
■
cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or R.
The Cruise Control System may automatically switch off when some brake as-
■
sist systems (e.g. ESC) intervene, when the speed exceeds maximum permissible
engine speed, or a similar event takes place.
The Cruise Control System also remains activated after shifting the gear!
