Skoda Octavia 2008 hatchback features

Fog lights with Corner function

Fog lights with the «Corner light» function not only illuminate the road in fog but also expand the visibility zone when turning, covering the space at an angle from –30° to +60°.

They are activated based on data about the steering wheel turn or the activation of the corresponding turn signal, but only at a vehicle speed not exceeding 40 km/h.

Jumbo Box

The multifunctional Jumbo Box armrest is installed between the front seats. Its height can be adjusted. If the car has air conditioning, the armrest is equipped with cooling. The armrest has a built-in audio jack for listening to music, which increases comfort on the road. On the rear side of the Jumbo Box, controls for rear seat heating can be placed.

Parking Sensors

On Skoda Octavia, you can install parking sensors with fifth-generation sensors. This system uses two speakers and two different signals to warn about the reduction of distance in front of and behind the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPM)

The tire pressure monitoring system (TPM) is an element of active safety. It uses ABS sensors to track the rotational speed of the wheels. The system compares current readings with reference values that the driver sets during calibration. Calibration is performed after all tires are inflated to the required pressure. If the rotational speed of one of the wheels changes, the system gives the driver a light signal on the instrument panel. This indicates a possible change in tire pressure.

Climatronic

Climatronic is a dual-zone climate control system with electronic control and automatic recirculation mode. It allows setting different temperatures separately for the right and left sides of the cabin.

7-speed DSG robot

The seven-speed DSG automatic transmission is used only with the 1.4 TSI (122 hp) and 1.8 TSI (152 hp) engines. Thanks to its special design, it shifts gears smoothly without reducing torque. The driver gets a smoother and faster gear change, while fuel consumption remains moderate.

Bolero audio system

The Bolero stereo is equipped with a six-disc CD changer. The device also supports SD and MMC memory cards. With it, you can listen to music in MP3 and WMA formats.
