Parking Aid; Hydraulic Brake Assist (Hba); Hill Hold Control (Hhc); Multi-Collision Brake (Mcb) - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)


Read and observe on page 135 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 Hold Control (HHC)


Read and observe on page 135 first.
HHC allows you, when driving on slopes, to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal without having to use the handbrake.
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.
The HHC is active from a 5% slope if the driver's door is closed. HHC is always
active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.

Multi-collision brake (MCB)


Read and observe on page 135 first.
The MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision through automatic braking
interventions and to stabilize 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 higher 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 (TSA)


Read and observe on page 135 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 higher than approx. 60 km/h.

The activated TSA is shown by the fact that after switching on the ignition, the
indicator light in the instrument cluster lights up for about 2 seconds longer

than the indicator light .

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
Activation/deactivation
Road display
Automatic system activation when moving forward
The parking aid (hereinafter referred to only as system) draws attention via
acoustic signals or the Infotainment display when manoeuvring around obsta-
cles in the vicinity of the vehicle.
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the
bumper and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are, depending on vehicle
equipment,, located in the back or in the front bumper.
