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

 

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

Prevention is better than cure. That's why in all the new Yeti models– with the exception of the Active model - we’ve installed electronic stability systems ESP, EDS, HBA, ABS, MSR, EBV and ASR as standard. These advanced safety systems help drivers avoid collisions before they happen. The automatic flashing function of the Yeti’s brake lights during heavy braking warns trailing traffic that you may be stopped, thereby reducing the chances of a rear impact.

 

The Yeti Elegance includes clever features such as front fog lights with corner function, which helps illuminate dark areas while turning at slow speeds. The addition of day time lights increase your car’s visibility during the day.
In situations where an accident is inevitable, passive security assumes great importance. The Yeti’s solid body design allied to strong doorsills and columns offers great protection. The car features seven airbags - including a driver knee airbag – safeguarding all car occupants in the event of a collision. All of this is standard on all models except Active.

 

The most precious and at risk members of your family are your children. That’s why the ISO Fix fitting system is provided as standard in all ŠKODA vehicles. It means your kids can be secured safely, quickly and correctly in the car. 
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 automatically 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 that 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 make driving on unhardened surfaces and slopes much easier. It uses hill driving assistance, ABS off-road and ASR and EDS Off-road.

Hill Driving Assistant

The Hill Driving Assistant maintains a constant speed when the car is descending a hill. It prevents the wheels from locking which could cause the vehicle to uncontrollably change direction on the slope.

ABS Off-road

In Off-Road mode the ABS system is designed to account for additional loose material that gathers beneath the wheels and which can affect braking.

ASR and EDS Off-road

To improve starting off on a soft or slippery surface, ASR counters the higher slippage of the drive wheels. The electronic differential lock (EDS) responds faster and more intensively to retain the vehicle’s traction.
