Yeah. On the whole I actually love the car, but it does have some annyoing quirks like this!

Hi Phil, We have a two similar issues: The warning light for the sensors on cold/damp mornings is usually a legitimate issue, I have found: the part of the windscreen in front of the sensor (at the position of the rearview mirrror) can get covered by frost/snow/dew, blocking the camera in the 'sensor box' behind. Cleaning the windscreen generally seems to help The tailgate lid closing when loading: I have the same issue and in my case it seems to be that the 'foot sensor' that allows you to open/close the tailgate by moving your foot under the rear bumper is too sensitive and already activates the tailgate when you just get close to the bumper. Annoying, as I have got the tailgate closing on my head a few times! I have yet to try cleaning that sensor to see if things improve. Hope it helps, Daniel

Yeah, same issue with the emergency braking - last week the car thought I was about to hit a pedestrian (I was not) and that emergency braking is VIOLENT! I had the same issue with my previous Superb Mk3. I think that would be my one and only gripe with this car: the warning systems sometimes intervene 'for nothing' and actually create a dangerous situation - like last week, the braking was sudden and violent and I felt lucky the var behind me did not rear-end me. I estimate this happens about 1x per month.

Hi Rob, for me the warnings popped up once at start and 2x during a drive. The car+battery were brand new, so I do not think it was battery related. Yes, same issue with fog/ice over the sensor, but that is a 'genuine' error, because the sensor is actually blocked and cleaning the windscreen area over the sensor solves the problem.

Hi Rob, I picked mine up in early December 2024 and the car now has 12k kms on it. In summary: I am super happy with the car and after a teething issue in the first weeks it has given me no issues, only joy. The teething issue: I initially had the 'assist systems' warnings, did a 'hard reset' myself by disconnecting the battery and took the car back to the dealership for a check. They told ne they did a reset, but honestly I am not sure they actually did much. In the weeks after, the warning popped up 2 or 3 times. Each time, stopping the car, switching the ignition on and off cleared the problem. The last time I had the error message was January 2025, since then, plain sailing. I use the car a couple of times per week for commutes and it has been on a family ski-trip to Austria and several longer drives also. As said, nothing but joy from this car. Hope this helps!

Hi, for what is is worth: I received my Superb from the dealership in early December 2024. In the first weeks, it had a series of the error messages like you experienced. Took it back for servicing in late December. They then 'reset' it - think that was just the fuse-removal you have also mentioned. Since then, no issues worth mentioning. My sense from this forum is that the earlier 2024 models have the persistent issue. So maybe an option to switch for a late 2024 or 2025 model? Whatever you decide, hope it works for you. Sounds like all of this has been super frustrating and taken a lot of time and back-and-forth with the dealer + Skoda.

Yes, in my case the reset process was 'disconnect the battery, wait 20 mins, reconnect the battery' :-)

Yes, then it is likely a 'true' error.

No, as far as I know this is all quite obscure. Going back over posts on this forum, it appears that the dealer software updates don't change the software version you see on your display. That software version seems 'locked' to the car and related to the production date, is my guess. Having said this, I was getting all the assist errors just after the car was delivered by the dealer (early December). They then did a reset -not sure what that was- and since then no errors. So the reset seems to have done the job.

If the error is 'front sensor obscured', it was probably a genuine error: I've had it the past weeks a few times when it has been cold and there is frost blocking the sensor windows. For me, the error went away when I cleaned the sensor area at the top of the windscreen and on the front grille (radar box cover/grille camera). Hope it helps. (Outside these genuine error messages, I have not had the assist errors in the last ~3 months - software appears stable since my dealer did an update mid December. The update did not change the software version though - same as others are reporting. I am on 'still' on 2565).

Pretty much the same here. After a slew of assist-function warnings in week 1, now 2 months in witth 4k Kms on the odometer and nothing untoward. An occasional error warning when I switch on that clears immediately and the emergency brake triggered twice without cause. Very happy with the car.

On my left-hand-drive Superb IV PHEV the battery is behind a panel in the boot on the left. Very similar to the photo above of the Kodiaq. Just unclip the panel and you can access the battery. (I have one time disconnected the battery to force a 'system-reset' when I was getting all the assistance system warning messages. Since I did that, the warning messages have not returned.)

Thanks, this is also how it worked in my previous Superb MK3

There are two little slots in the phonebox. They could provide cold air, but I am not seeing that happening.

Do you also notice that the central storage units between the front seats DOES get cooled (also in winter when the heating is on, it is cold inside that box) bit that the phonebox indeed appears not to get cooled?
