Protection for your family is one of our main aims at Škoda.

With safety in mind the Škoda Yeti was developed to achieve the highest possible 5-Star rating in the latest Euro-NCAP safety tests. The Yeti set new standards for high levels of safety combined with the latest advanced technology to receive a 92% rating.

Prevention is better than cure that's why we have installed electronic stability systems ESP, EDS, HBA, ABS, MSR, EBV and ASR as standard on all models in the range (except for Entry) that will help the driver avoid a collision before it happens. Automatic flashing function of brake lights during heavy braking warns trailing traffic that you may be stopped reducing the potential of a rear impact.

On the Experience model we have installed clever features such as front fog lights with Corner function that illuminate dark areas while cornering or turning at slow speeds while day time lights are featured to increase your visibility during the day.   

If you can no longer prevent an accident, passive security becomes important. The solid design of the body with strong doorsills and columns and seven airbags including a driver knee airbag will ensure protection for all occupants (standard on all models except Entry).Your most precious and vulnerable members of your family; your children can also be secured correctly and efficiently using the ISO Fix fitting system that is provided as standard in all Škoda vehicles. 

Should the airbags be deployed during an accident the fuel pump will switch off while the fuel supply and certain electrical circuits will automatically disengage to prevent fire. To alert other road users of the accident the hazard lights will turn on together with the interior lights. To allow escape the central locking will unlock automatically.

 


Off-road
The Yeti is the first Škoda car which offers an off-road mode for the 4x4 version. It is an intelligent system that adapts the characteristics of the engine and brake assistant systems to driving on an unhardened surface and makes driving on a slope easier.
It contains the following functions:
Hill Driving Assistant

The assistant maintains a constant speed when decending a hill. It prevents the wheels from locking which could cause the vehicle to uncontrollably change direction on the the slope.

ABS Off-road
In Off-Road mode the ABS system is set up in such a way that it accounts for additional loose material that gathers beneath the wheels that effect the braking.
ASR and EDS Off-road
To improve starting off on a soft or slippery surface ASR accounts for the higher slippage of the drive wheels. The electronic differential lock (EDS) responds faster and more intensively to retain the vehicle’s traction.
