Driver assist systems › Braking and stabilising systems 173  
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)  
Driver assist systems  
MCB helps to decelerate and stabilize the vehicle af-  
ter a collision with an obstacle. This reduces the risk  
of further collisions.  
Braking and stabilising systems  
Overview  
Functional conditions  
✓ There has been a frontal, side and rear collision of  
a certain severity.  
✓ The impact speed was greater than 10 km/h.  
Stabilisation control (ESC)  
ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle in borderline situa-  
tions (e.g. when the vehicle starts to skid). ESC  
brakes the individual wheels to maintain the direc-  
tion of travel.  
✓ The brakes, ESC and other necessary systems re-  
mained functional after the impact.  
✓ The accelerator pedal is not pressed.  
flashes - ESC is engaged  
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)  
TSA helps to stabilize the trailer. When the trailer  
starts to wobble, TSA stabilizes the trailer by braking  
the individual vehicle wheels.  
ESC Sport  
ESC Sport allows for a sportier driving style.  
lit up - ESC Sport is activated  
Functional conditions  
✓ The trailer hitch was delivered from the factory  
or purchased from the ŠKODA Original accesso-  
ries.  
✓ The trailer is connected to the trailer socket.  
✓ ASR activated.  
Traction control (TCS)  
ASR helps to stabilize the vehicle when accelerating  
or driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drive  
power transmitted to the wheels when the wheels  
spin.  
✓ The driving speed is higher than 60 km/h.  
flashes - ASR is engaged

Antilock braking system (ABS)  
ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle during  
emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-  
ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.  
operate the brake pedal.  
After switching off the ignition, the Electronic brake  
force distributionfunction is limited or not available.  
Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)  
If the vehicle is decelerated using an assistance  
system, pulsating movements of the brake pedal can  
occur.  
MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in the  
event of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icy  
roads. If the drive wheels lock, MSR increases the  
engine speed. This reduces the braking effect of the  
engine and the wheels can rotate freely again.  
Settings  
Electronic differential lock (EDS)  
Deactivate / activate ASR  
EDL helps to stabilize the vehicle when driving on  
road surfaces with different grip under the individual  
wheels. EDL brakes a spinning wheel and transmits  
power to a different drive wheel.

XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-  
nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.

with a steering recommendation in order to stabilise  
the vehicle.

Depending on the equipment, ACC allows a speed  
setting in the range of 30-160 or 30-210 km/h.  
If control is started at a speed of less than 30 km/h  
on vehicles with an automatic transmission, the  
speed is automatically increased to 30 km/h or con-  
trolled according to the speed of the vehicle ahead.

The distance to the vehicle ahead can be adjusted to  
five different levels.

than 80 km/h, this may cause your vehicle to be con-  
trolled according to that vehicle.  
If a vehicle in front turns and there is a stationary ve-  
hicle in front of this vehicle, the ACC will not respond  
to the stationary vehicle.

Lane Assist  
Usage  
Functional restriction  
Lane Assist helps to keep the vehicle in the lane. It is  
based on the boundaries of a lane. These can include  
boundary lines, road edges or objects such as curbs  
and possibly traffic cones.  
The system function may be restricted in the follow-  
ing cases.  
The field of view of the sensor is limited by a dirty  
screen or an obstacle or a preceding vehicle.  
In the event of unfavourable weather conditions.  
When driving through a sharp bend.  
When driving on a steep road or in ruts.  
When the driving lane is too narrow.  
▶
The system is intended primarily for use on high-  
ways.  
▶
▶
▶
▶
▶
Functionality  
As the vehicle approaches a lane marking, the sys-  
tem executes a steering movement in the opposite  
direction from the lane marking. The steering inter-  
vention can be overridden manually.  
When driving through construction sites.  
WARNING  
Risk of incorrect steering intervention!  
Certain objects or markings on the roadway can be  
incorrectly recognized as boundary lines.  
No system intervention occurs when changing lane  
with the turn signal on.  
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and  
be prepared to override the steering intervention.
