Yesterday i took delivery of my MK4.5 Octavia vRS and this was one of the first things i`ve checked. It seems that starting with the MK4, Skoda removed the option of changing the Sensitivity. Also confirmed by a friend which has a MK2 Kodiaq. Sorry about the misinformation in my previous message. @Mods: can you strikethrough/delete point #2 from my previous message? i cannot edit it

Only the Forward Collision Warning sensitivity can be turned down (Low or Late, not sure which is the wording used by Skoda). This setting is saved between ignition cycles No. Stop with the engine running. AEB requests a deceleration, so with an automatic gearbox this implies the gearbox will downshift to match the vehicle speed. In a vehicle with manual gearbox, the signal for Brake/Deceleration Request from AEB might be used by the engine ECU as a "Torque cut-off" signal, to supress the engine trying to increase the speed, thus adding additional stress on the drivetrain* Most likely, yes. If vehicles use the same platform (Octavia and Golf), there might be small changes to each AEB configuration (tuning parameters), but don't expect major differences in behavior * Not sure if you read the manual, but there are ways to abort a wrong AEB intervention, either by pressing hard on the acceleratior pedal or by a sharp turn of the steering wheel (depends on the scenario, which option is more suitable).

If you're interested in changing the tyre to a smaller size, keep in mind that the ADAS systems might use the wheel circumference as an input to calculate the vehicle speed. While a 3.5% difference doesn't seem that much, it might be too much of a difference for the systems to compensate it. Then you'll end up with weird behavior when driving, due to the wrong vehicle speed calculations A way to avoid this would be to code the new wheel circumference to the vehicle, but this implies a dealer visit, which might refuse to do it (since it's not a size homologated for your vehicle) Below you can see a comparison between the homologated sizes for the RS

You can have a look over the User Manuals (https://www.skoda-auto.com/apps/manuals/Models) The main differences are the implementations of GSR2.0 Phase 3 (enforced as of July 2026). I think the requirement that impacts the end-user the most is the implementation of Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) (camera-based, sensor located in the rear-view mirror), which can be annoying to some. It is the same system implemented already in the latest-gen Superb and Kodiak. The answer I received from the Skoda Infoline regarding a similar question: "All Octavia vehicles produced from calendar week 14/2026 onwards are compliant with GSR2 Phase C"
