Hi there is there any possibility that you can go to skoda to activate you the hill hold assist with software ?

My dealer said that you should have installed the electric handbreak to have the hill control. (I suppose you have the lever handbreak right?)

But you should definitely ask yours also.

 

Please let me know if they say something different.

I thought the hill hold is standard - my Octavia 3 has it (with manual handbrake)

Yea..I thought so too 👍

I wish they are wrong though. Definitely worth checking.

Optional... 😒

Often surprising just how 'economical with the truth' (Liar) many dealers can be when attempting to fob off owners questions about something that may be wrong!

Is your car a NZ spec.? Often features are standard in one country, optional in others - sometimes also depends on spec. level.

Sure it was standard in UK version Octavia SE L.

My kamiq Has it as standard Manual gears only holds for a few seconds . As the Scala is the same car it should
