I'm intrigued by your post. I was in that part of the infotainment screen yesterday and didn't see what you mention. I'm based in the UK. Is what you're seeing perhaps a regional variation in specification ?

Just label me optimistically naive !!

Ha ha. While Glasgow manages to escape the worst of the winter weather, minus figures centigrade are not exactly unknown. Clearly somebody at Skoda is taking these regional variations seriously !!

Park's is the main Skoda dealership in Hamilton.

They're nowhere near Hamilton. And what makes you think Arnold Clark have any sort of monopoly? If you want excellent customer service give Henrys Glasgow a call. They're based at 151 Kyle Street, Glasgow G4 0DS, 0141 552 9000. I've been with them since 2018 and am now enjoying my fifth Skoda Kodiaq.

UK - Scotland specifically.

There is nothing to reset. First start on a cold (10C or lower) morning both features are on. After a 4 mile drive to shops on restart both features were off without any input from me. Following morning in same ambient temperature the same result. Any 'reset' is obviously automatic and probably climate controlled. This was an experience I was not anticipating though I have to say it is very welcome. Just another thing I don't have to adjust/set before driving off !!! Clearly if the ambient temperature increases to the point where both features are no longer required eg on a longer drive, it is a simple matter of turning them off using the steering wheel switch for the steering wheel heating, and the right hand rotary dial on the centre console for the seat heating. My 2022 plate L&K did not have these features.

Hi Aronisk. I didn't need to customise anything. Both features detailed in my original post came as standard.

Refer your insurance company to the DVLA website. There is a well known mistake with 2023 models misreporting diesels as petrols.

In inclement weather (less than 10C) the car automatically sets heated steering wheel and heated drivers seat to on. Anybody else noted this ?

Forget Arnold Clark. Go to Henrys Glasgow instead.

Go for an old fashioned internal combustion engine. You wont regret it.

Enjoy your new car - you deserve it. I compliment you on your final choice. The sportline in eco mode allows you to save diesel by coasting. Long term use of eco can result in average mpg figures in the low 50s. In sport mode using the flappy paddles it's an absolute beast. Good luck.

I can't tell from the image but a search on Autotrader for that model and year shows 106 petrol and only 18 diesel. My guess would be it's a petrol. Assuming that you are UK based, why don't you check the registration number on the DVLA website. That is accurate so you'll find out for sure.

You're very welcome !!

I had these on a previous Kodiaq. An over enthousiastic car detailer decided to sponge dry the door frames and ripped one from the door. It never did refit properly. Personally, they're a waste of time and I suspect Skoda think the same - they're no longer an option on any Kodiaq model in the UK.

Dynamic Drive Mode is part of Drive Mode Select which in turn comes with DCC. I don't think the first two are available separately. My current car is my fifth Kodiaq. An SE, 2 x L&K, an SEL (with no DCC - big mistake and I got shot of it after only 6 months) all diesels. I dealt with Henrys Skoda in Glasgow for all 5 and almost without asking got 2 x free services, mud flaps all round, fabric floor mats, rubber boot liner and registration plates suitable for use in Europe (Union Flag and the letters UK). Best advice I can give you is ask around about dealerships, check their after sales service, find a good one and stick with them. The good ones will value return business. The bad ones (and they are out there) couldn't give a f*** ! Good hunting Sammycarp.

As far as I'm aware the car should have adaptive cruise control as standard. Predictive/Adaptive cruise control can be specified at the time of ordering but after delivery is only available as a subscription/function on demand or a one-off purchase. The necessary hardware is already in place but needs to be activated with over the air software. Using the DVLA system I checked a few of the EU74BVx registration range and they all seem to be 2.0 litre diesel models. Possibly allocated to the Skoda press fleet or a bulk order for a large main dealership. I have a 2025 Sportline with the 190 diesel engine. I strongly recommend you go for one with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). This will give you drive options such as eco, normal, sport and individual. It makes a massive positive difference to the handling of the car. DCC does not come as standard on the SEL model but is available as an option.

This is due to the electronic system 'priming' itself for immediate operation. It's called the 'Hydraulic System Control' unit and it is checking brake pressure to ensure correct operation of collision avoidance systems and auto hold. It is perfectly normal and I suspect it is prevalent across the entire Skoda range of models.

Many thanks for this Warrior193. With all the other comments on here I was beginning to doubt whether I had direct or indirect TPMS. I saw the pressure drop on the left rear tyre notification quite clearly. I have since examined the TPMS menu on the infotainment screen and the car does not disclose individual tyre pressures. I clearly have an indirect TPMS system.

Thanks for this. I don't have an OBDII device but the car is due its first service later this month. I'll ask the dealership to check.

Presuming you intend N to indicate Nitrogen, this is not generally available in the UK. In the case of the puncture the TPMS system indicated the nearside rear tyre. This indication appeared in the virtual dash screen as a yellow tyre symbol. In the case a few days ago the indication appeared in the same location but was more general, only a loss of pressure. The system does not show individual tyre pressures, but on resetting the tyre to the correct pressures today I saw a message to the effect that all tyres were set at the recommended specification. In your case I suggest you press the car symbol in the infotainment screen top right, then press car symbol bottom left, and you will see a screen which allows you to check that the pressures are with 'tolerance' and reset them if necessary. If you don't see this option I'd conclude that your car is not fitted with a TPMS facility.

Well spotted Krukru. I have a 2025 2.0 Kodiaq Sportline Diesel. A few days before Chistmas 2025 I saw a message from the TPMS that detected a loss of pressure on the nearside rear tyre. Prior to this I had not appreciated how accurate and detailed the TPMS system could be. I immediately drove to a filling station and discovered that I had indeed suffered a puncture in that tyre from what looked like an industrial nail or screw. Owing to the time of year I was not immediately able to do much to resolve the situation but over the next few days, again from the TPMS system, I noticed that there was no further loss of pressure noted. In effect, the intrusive object had in effect 'plugged the leak' in the tyre. Rather than drive at speed with a plugged/repaired tyre, I elected to replce the tyre with a new one of the exact same specification as that fitted at factory. I collected my car from the Dealership in early March 2025. Now into February 2026 I received another message from the TPMS advising a loss of pressure but without any indication of which tyre was affected. At this point I have to come clean and admit that I hadn't checked my tyre pressures once since delivery. Today I inflated all tyres to the recommended pressures and reset them using the app on the infotainment screen and all is now well. Much has been said on these forums (should that be fora) on the unreliability of modern electronic devices fitted to cars in the 21st century. I cite my own case as a rebuttal of that criticism. When these systems work as intended thay are a boon to motoring and ownership. What say all of you ?

Hi all. Just a question at this stage. How often do you check your tyre pressures? I have a reason for asking this apparently innocuous question !

The car was rushed to market so Skoda could claim to be ahead of the net zero mandate. Inadequate testing and poor implementation of the various assistance systems. There are many complaints on here about the IV/PHEV versions. I would expect major recalls any time soon.
