Hi again, Karoqies. Can I add a little oddity, that I was told about. Perhaps folks on this forum can help. My karoq failed because of knackered battery. I called out the motor aid services. A top guy came out and sorted everything. He gave me a bit of advice by telling me to switch off the auto engine cut off, as it's a strain on engine, battery, crankshaft and the savings is miniscule...that's the second time, I've heard this tip..???

Thanks again to everyone about crisp packet braking..on reflection about reversing and sudden braking, I was turning to come off my drive, so couldve picked up the low side fencing...but to sum it up, about having "automatic" braking...it is something, I have never had, I have always driven with plenty of stopping distance between myself and car in front...so, on balance, I will perhaps reduce sensitivity, give it one chance..if it happens again...it's off. Cheers everyone

Hi to everyone and many thanks for answering..I've taken note of all the pointers regarding the crisp packet braking, but I'm a careful driver, so I think I'll disable the front assist...that's the third time it has happened, I thought I was doing something wrong in my driving...it happened before, going forward slowly on my drive, another time, reversing slowly off my drive, then lastly driving slowly in a 20mph zone. I don't think my heart or anus could cope with another jolt...Paddy.

Hi, I love my Skoda karoq but it frightened the life outa me, the other day..when it practically came to a standstill and the most awful vibration through out the car. There was a red message flash on the dash, which I didn't catch...having read this forum on this "fault", I am switching off all gadgets associated with braking....
