Hill hold control (HHC)
HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator ped-
al without having to use the handbrake when pulling away on a gradient.
The system holds the brake pressure produced by the activation of the brake
pedal for approx. 2 seconds after the brake pedal is released.
The brake pressure drops gradually the more you operate the accelerator ped-
al. If the vehicle does not start off within 2 seconds, it starts to roll back.
HHC is active on slopes of >5 % when the driver door is closed. HHC is always
only active on slopes pulling away forwards or in reverse. When driving down-
hill, it is inactive.
Antilock Braking System (ABS)

Read and observe and
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not pump the brakes or lift off the brake
pedal.
Traction Control System (ASR)

Read and observe and
If the wheels are slipping, the ASR system adapts the engine speed to the con-
ditions of the road surface. The TCS makes it much easier to start off, acceler-
ate and climb steep hills even if the conditions of the road surface are unfav-
ourable.

The ASR function is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched
on.
During an intervention of the system, the TCS warning light
instrument cluster.
The TCS should normally always be enabled. Only in certain exceptional cir-
cumstances can it be sensible to switch the system off, for instance:
›
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 activated again afterwards.
You can switch TCS off and on again as needed by pressing the  but-
ton » Fig. 112. The warning light comes on in the instrument cluster when the

TCS is deactivated.

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)

Read and observe and
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.
EDL switches off automatically to avoid excessive heat generation on the
brake of the wheel 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.
XDL function (Fabia RS and Fabia Estate RS only)
XDL is an extension to the electronic differential lock. XDL does not respond to
traction, but to the relief of the inner front wheel during fast cornering. The ac-
tive brake intervention on the brake of the inner wheel prevents it from spin-
ning. Thus, the traction is improved and the vehicle continues to follow the de-
sired track.
