Cruise Control System (Ccs) - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Note
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
■
there is no obstacle close to your car, this indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol  flashes in the button
fault rectified by a specialist garage.
The sensors must be kept clean (free of ice, etc.) to enable the parking aid to
■
operate properly.
If the parking aid is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is
■
in the position P, the warning signal is interrupted (the vehicle cannot move).

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing a speed
Changing a stored speed
Switching off the cruise control system temporarily
Switching off the cruise control system completely
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h
(20 mph), 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 out-
put and braking power of the engine.
The indicator 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.

Using the system
CAUTION
Always depress the clutch pedal if switching to the neutral position (vehicle
■
with a manual gearbox) when the cruise control system is switched on! Otherwise
. Have the the engine can rev up unintentionally.

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.

Note
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the
