Hi all.

 

In the past hour I’ve picked up my brand new Superb SE L Estate Diesel DSG 4x4

 

It has the 4x4 badge on the back and on the gearstick.

 

However the off road driving mode is missing from the computer?

According to the manual it should have one? 

 

Without it how do you activate HDC which according to the marketing materials it should also have???

 

Have the factory failed to set up the computer correctly?

 

I’m trying to get hold of the dealer as I expected these features or am I barking up the wrong tree?

As a rule you don’t get off road mode on a 4x4, only the Superb Scout which we don’t get in the UK would have this and 4x4 Karoq and Kodiaq cars. I’ve never seen a normal Superb 4x4 with Off Road or HDC.

I thought all Superbs had HDC and it’s automatic at least in DSG’s.

 

I might be wrong but I thought when going downhill you use the brakes to get your speed then don’t touch the pedals

They have auto hill hold and ACC, but low speed HDC is reserved for the Scout and SUV models.

The dealer is talking to Skoda UK Monday.

 

They were expecting the vehicle to have the mode as that’s what their spec sheets say and it’s the basis that they sold me the vehicle on.

 

if Skoda confirm that it doesn’t I will have to consider my position around rejecting the vehicle.

 

One of the two reasons I changed from the Karoq to the Superb was that it retained that mode which I use quite a bit with my hobbies and that was discussed with the dealer.

Skoda’s brochures are littered with errors, I hate to say. The Scout model will surely have it but unless things have changed for 2021 (or you are somewhere that’s not the UK) I have never seen another 4x4 Superb with HDC and Off Road mode.

Hi,

If you talk about "Off road mode" on the Columbus display, it can be activated using VCDS.

Otherwise, I don't know what you're expecting (sorry, mainly because I'm not a native English speaker). By the way, what is HDC?

Thanks.

I think the OP means the Off Road driving profile.

The Superb doesnt have the off road mode unless it is the Scout.

What sort of terrain do you go over?
