Active Steering Assist (Dsr); Brake Assist (Hba); Hill Start Assist (Hhc); Multicollision Brake (Mcb) - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

XDS is an extension to the electronic differential lock (EDL). XDS does not re-
spond to the relieved inner curve wheel of the driven axle in the case of fast
cornering.
By applying braking force to the relieved wheel, spinning is prevented by the
XDS. This has a positive effect on the driving stability and steerability of the
vehicle.

Active steering assist (DSR)


Read and observe on page 200 first.
The DSR indicates to the driver in critical situations a steering recommenda-
tion in order to stabilise the vehicle. DSR is activated, for example, on the right
and left vehicle side when braking sharply on different road surfaces.

Brake Assist (HBA)


Read and observe on page 200 first.
HBA increases the braking effect and helps to shorten the braking distance.
The HBA is activated by the very quick operation of the brake pedal. To ach-
ieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be applied
firmly until the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
The HBA is automatically switched off when the brake pedal is released.

Hill Start Assist (HHC)


Read and observe on page 200 first.
When moving off on a gradient, HHC allows you to move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal without the vehicle rolling downhill.
The vehicle is braked by the system for about 2 seconds after releasing the
brake pedal.
The HHC is active on gradients upwards of 5 % if the driver door is closed. HHC
is always active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.

Multicollision brake (MCB)


Read and observe on page 200 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.
A head-on or side collision occurred.

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 200 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 greater than 60 km/h.
