Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is made up of the ABS and ASR traction control systems. Simply put, it helps ensure that the vehicle goes where you steer it – even in extreme driving conditions when the car is going into a skid.

The control unit constantly compares current data about the driving behaviour of your vehicle with the preset values. If the values do not match, the control unit gives command to stabilise your Octavia by applying the brakes to individual wheels and adjusting the engines power output.

The stability program uses the abilities of ABS, ASR and other special sensors. This allows it to prevent slipping or locking of the wheels.
