Skoda Superb Safety - 8 Airbags
A SENSE OF SAFETY AND ENJOYMENT FROM A RIDE
The SKODA Superb excels, thanks to its wide range of active and passive safety elements, including some new features that guarantee maximum protection of the passengers’ life and health. Airbags are an integral part of a car’s safety features today. The SKODA Superb offers eight airbags including head airbags, driver’s and front passenger’s airbags and side airbags in the front and rear.

Compliance with the "see and be seen" rule is assisted by Bi-xenon headlights with AFS functionality, integrated telescopic washers, a rain sensor and front fog lights with Corner function. Side indicator lights are integrated into the external mirrors for better visibility. Warning lights are also automatically activated when braking sharply. Drivers behind you will therefore have more time to react to a dangerous situation.

In addition to electromechanical power steering with variable effect and disc brakes on all wheels, a range of electronic systems ensure excellent stability and control of the Superb. Standard features include the ESP stabilizing system with an EDL electronic differential lock and an HBA hydraulic brake assistant. Obviously, these systems also include ABS, MSR and ASR. For your safety and a more comfortable drive, the car is also offered with hill hold control which makes starts from the slope easier.
Skoda Superb - Keyless Entry and Exit System

KESSY - keyless entry, start & exit system

The new KESSY Function – for the elegance – provides enhanced convenience of vehicle operation with intuitive simplicity. KESSY – abbreviation for Keyless Entry Start and Exit system – Seamlessly integrates multiple technologies that let you access the car and operate motor ignition without ever taking the vehicle’s key out of your pocket. With KESSY, the only key is convenience. 

Adaptive Frontlight System

Adaptive frontlight system (AFS)

The AFS optimises illumination and enhances safety by enabling earlier response to better illuminated obstacles. It gradually shifts the light patterns so that it does not disturb the driver. It is automatically activated by the light sensors, which switch on the headlights under low light conditions. With automatic adaptation of the light beam the headlamp modules swivel in the direction of the turn indicated by the angle of the steering wheel and light leveling changes according to acceleration and inclination. The width and length of the light pattern changes with vehicle speed, assuring visibility at high speed.

Electronic Stability Programme

Electronic stability programme (ESP)

ESP makes high speed driving a safe experience, and lets the driver exploit and enjoy the limits of the car’s performance without being excessively worried about loss of control such as when driving too fast into a curve or when avoiding an obstacle at high speed.

Hill hold control (HHC) for safer hill driving

HHC ‘holds’ the car on an uphill slope by braking it, so that the driver can safely drive off without rolling/sliding backwards or having to use the handbrake. It makes uphill starts easy from a stationary position especially on ascent of bridges and basement parking lots.
