Driver assist systems for Your Skoda Kodiaq SUV 2020

Driver assist systems › Braking and stabilising systems 177  
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  
Settings  
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.  
Deactivate / activate ASR  
Press the button.  
Or:  
Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)  
In Infotainment, select the following menu.  
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.  
Or:  
When deactivated lights up in the instrument clus-  
ter.  
Electronic differential lock (EDS)  
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.  
goes out on renewed activation.  
Deactivating the ASR may be helpful in the following  
situations.  
Electronic differential lock (XDS+)  
XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-  
nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.  
Driving with snow chains.  
Driving in deep snow or on very loose ground.  
Starting the stuck vehicle.  
Active steering support (DSR)  
Activate/deactivate ESC Sport  
In difficult situations, the DSR provides the driver  
with a steering recommendation in order to stabilise  
the vehicle.  
Hold the button down.  
Or:  
In Infotainment, select the following menu.  
Hill start assist  
Hill Hold Control helps when starting off on uphill  
gradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds  
after the brake pedal is released.

WARNING  
ACC does not respond to stationary objects or to  
crossing or oncoming objects.  
ACC is intended primarily for use on motorways.  
Speed range  
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.

WARNING  
Be particularly attentive and alert in the following  
situations.  
Regulation according to the vehicle in the adjacent  
lane  
If your vehicle is moving faster than the vehicle in  
the next lane on the driver's side, at a speed of more  
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.  
When cornering  
Vehicles with special load or special bodies  
A load or superstructure that protrudes outside the  
vehicle might not be detected by the ACC.

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.
