The entry Octavia model comes with the passive elements ABS, ASR, EBD, MBA and HBA. In addition the basic active equipment includes large capacity airbags for the driver and front passenger as well as side airbags for protection against side impacts. For the safety of the youngest members of your family the front passenger airbag can be deactivated temporarily if you decide to carry a baby seat on the front passenger seat.

In the field of passive safety, the main innovation is the WOKS  front headrests, whose new shape better protects the cervical vertebrae of those travelling in the front seats during a rear impact. The new Octavia is also equipped with three-point adjustable front seatbelts, three three-point seatbelts in the rear, a fourth generation immobiliser as well as safety lights on the inside of the doors that advise passing cars that your door is open. In the event of a collision the fuel supply will be cut off to prevent fire, the doors of the vehicle will automatically unlock and the hazard and interior lights will be applied.
