Braking and stabilising systems
Overview
Electronic Stability 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.
flashes - ESC is engaged
Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)
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.
flashes - ASR is engaged
Anti-lock 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.
Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)
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. As a result, the braking eect of the
engine is reduced and the wheels can turn freely
again.
Electronic Dierential Lock (EDL)
EDL helps to stabilize the vehicle when driving on
road surfaces with dierent grip under the individual
wheels. EDL brakes a spinning wheel and transmits
power to a dierent drive wheel.
Electronic Dierential Lock (XDL+)
XDL + helps to stabilize the vehicle during fast cor-
nering by braking the inside wheel of the driven axle.
Active steering assistance (DSR)
In dicult situations, the DSR provides the driver
with a steering recommendation in order to stabilise
the vehicle.
Hill Hold Control
Hill Hold Control helps when starting o on uphill
gradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 seconds
after the brake pedal is released.
Operating conditions
✓ The gradient is at least 5%.
✓ The driver's door is closed.
Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)
MCB helps to decelerate and stabilize the vehicle af-
ter a collision with an obstacle. This reduces the risk
of further collisions.
Operating conditions
✓ There has been a frontal, side and rear collision of
a certain severity.
✓ The impact speed was greater than 10 km/h.
✓ The brakes, ESC and other required systems re-
mained functional after the impact.
✓ The accelerator pedal is not pressed.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA)
TSA helps to stabilize the trailer. As the trailer begins
to lurch, TSA stabilizes the trailer by slowing down
the individual vehicle wheels.
Operating conditions
✓ The hitch was supplied from the factory or pur-
chased from ŠKODA Genuine Accessories.
✓ The trailer is connected to the trailer socket.
✓ ASR activated.
✓ The driving speed is higher than 60 km/h.

Deactivating/activating ASR
The function is deactivated or activated in the fol-
lowing Infotainment menu.
Or:
When deactivating lights up in the instrument
cluster.
goes out on renewed activation.
Deactivating the ASR may be helpful in the following
situations.
▶
Driving with snow chains.
▶
Driving in deep snow or on very loose ground.
▶
Starting up a vehicle that is stuck.
Troubleshooting
ESC or ASR faulty/deactivated by the system

Stop the engine and start again.
›
If the indicator light does not go out after covering
a short distance, seek the help of a specialist ga-
rage.
ABS faulty

You may continue driving, exercising appro-
priate caution. Seek the help of a specialist garage.
