Off Road Mode; Electronic Differential Lock (Edl) - Skoda Yeti Owner's Manual

Traction control system (TCS)
ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 100.
The TCS is automatically activated after starting the engine. If the wheels are
slipping, the TCS adapts the engine speed to the conditions of the road surface.
The TCS makes it much easier to start off, accelerate and climb steep hills even if
the conditions of the road surface are unfavourable.
The TCS should normally always be switched on. It may be advisable to switch off
the system in certain 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.
Ensure the TCS is switched on again afterwards.
During an intervention of the system, the TCS indicator light

TCS OFF ROAD
After activating the OFF ROAD mode,
The TCS OFF ROAD provides a more effective acceleration of the vehicle on an
unfirm ground, as it allows higher traction between the slipping wheels and the
ground.

Electronic differential lock (EDL)

ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 100.
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 unusually severe stresses exist in order to
avoid excessive 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.
EDL OFF ROAD
After activating the OFF ROAD mode,
The EDL OFF ROAD supports the vehicle traction when driving on unfirm ground.
EDL is activated earlier in the OFF ROAD mode than in the normal mode. The
brake pressure builds up more quickly on the faster moving wheel, on one axle, as
well as diagonally.
