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.

Electronic brake force distribution makes it easier to
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.

Electronic differential lock (XDS+)
XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-
nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.

Active steering support (DSR)
In difficult situations, the DSR provides the driver
with a steering recommendation in order to stabilise
the vehicle.

Hill start assist
Deactivating the ASR may be helpful in the following
situations.
Hill Hold Control helps when starting off on uphill
gradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds
after the brake pedal is released.

Functional conditions
✓ The gradient is at least 5%.
✓ The driver's door is closed.
