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 t he passengers’ life and health. Airbags are an integral part of a car’s safety features today. The SKODA Superb offers eight airbags, head airbags, driver’s and front passenger’s airbags and side airbags in the front.
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 system 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, you can also order a hill hold control, with which you can easily start without using the handbrake.
Eight airbags Including rear side airbags
It comes with eight airbags including dual front airbags, dual side airbags (at front and rear) and dual curtain airbags (for front and rear) which provide a high level of passenger protection. A sequence of operations that are programmed after the activation of airbags include the cut-off of fuel supply, switching-off of selected electrical circuits, unlocking of doors, illumination of the internal lighting, and activation of the warning lights.
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 ambient light conditions.
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.
