Cruise Control System (Ccs) - Skoda OCTAVIA TOUR - 11-10 Owner's Manual

82 Starting-off and Driving

If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after switching the ignition on and
engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstacle close to your vehicle, this indicates a
system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.

The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate
properly.

Cruise control system (CCS)*

Introduction
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, above approx. 30 km/h
(20 mph), once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible to the extent permitted by the power output and braking power of
the engine. The cruise control system makes it possible - particularly on long journeys
- for you to rest your "accelerator foot".
WARNING

The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads or
loose chippings) - risk of accident!

In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always
switch off the system after use.
Note

Always depress the clutch pedal if you switch on the cruise control system when
the gearbox is in Neutral. Otherwise the engine can rev up unintentionally.

The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving on
steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which it
travels. One should shift down in good time to a lower gear or slow the vehicle down
by applying the foot brake.
Storing a speed
The cruise control system is operated by means of the switch
in the left lever of the multi-functional switch.
A  fig. 88
– Press the switch into the position ON.

– After the desired speed has been reached, press the rocker button
position.
After you have released the rocker button
have just stored is maintained at a constant speed without having to depress the accel-
erator.
You can increase the speed by depressing the accelerator. Releasing the accelerator
will cause the speed to drop again to the set speed.
This does not apply, however, if you drive at a speed which is more than 10 km/h higher
than the set speed for a period of longer than 5 minutes. The stored speed will be
cancelled in the memory. You have to re-store the desired speed.
One can reduce the speed in the usual manner. The system is switched off temporarily
by actuating the brake or clutch pedal  page 83.
WARNING
First ensure that it is not too high for the traffic conditions which exist at that
moment before resuming the stored speed.
