Skoda 4×4 Winter Experience - Safe driving in snow and off-road

The 4×4 versions of the Karoq and Kodiaq feature Snow mode in the Driving Mode Select driving profiles, while the all-wheel-drive versions of the Octavia, Superb, Karoq and Kodiaq also have Offroad mode on board, depending on equipment. The Offroad profile optimizes the characteristics of the assistance systems for off-road driving. It is active up to a speed of 30 km/h and includes acceleration, traction and braking assistance as well as hill descent control. This regulates the vehicle's speed on steep off-road descents via the braking system and engine braking torque. In off-road mode, the infotainment display also shows data such as the steering angle, a compass and an altimeter. The Snow profile assists with low grip, and the anti-lock braking system (ABS) allows slightly more wheel slip and accumulates snow in front of the tires, which increases braking efficiency. At the same time, the anti-slip control (ASR) does not yet intervene when the wheels are spinning slightly, so that the tire profile of the better grip. The 7-speed DSG selects higher gears in the lower speed range than in normal operation and the accelerator pedal reacts less directly to prevent a sharp increase in torque and thus wheel spin
