Hi!

 

I have a question.

I am interested in if Skoda Octavia mk III ever have got "real" adaptive headlight assist as Skoda Superb have had since 2011, (what I know).

I only know Skoda Octavia mk IV offer this by its new "Led Matrix" - system.

 

The adaptive light for "Skoda Superb" as it is described by Skoda, "... The system also benefits other road users as it limits the dazzling effect of headlights to oncoming traffic". Or by the the Yuotube-link I put here.

 

 

 

The video you posted is shows a MK3 Superb (2015+) with DLA/SLA (Dynamic light assist/Smart light assist) which uses a roller shutter on the xenons to change the beam shape in conjunction with the front facing camera. This system was never fitted to a MK3 Octavia

 

The best you can get on a MK3 Octavia is HBA (High beam assist) which will switch between dipped/low and main/high beam when it sees traffic.

 

The system on a MK2 Superb (2011) is similar to the pre-FL MK3 Octavia with bi-xenons, neither shape the light beam as shown in the video

Thanks for a good answer.

 

 

Then I don´t have to struggle looking for a newer Octavia MK3 when time comes to buy a newer one. It will simply be a SUPERB as I can see. The kind of "Light Assistant" my Octavia MK3 Scout 2015 is equipped with, (AFS Adaptive Frontlight System), is just something I don´t appreciate, but it is better than the conventional ones. I am often driving long travels on dark roads in the forest where a lot of animals always is a challenge. That in combination with my age, 55 years old, who also need more light, simply must be a standard equipment having this real "Adaptive headlight Assist", like ABS, which is included in every car on the market.

 

Just as a confirmation.

- Does this information even include the latest Octavia MK3 with LED headlights?

Correct, a FL MK3 with LED headlights does not support DLA/SLA. The LED system doesn't even move left/right like the pre-FL bi-xenon system
