Has anyone else had the emergency brakes activate? I have had the SEL Scala  for three months and in that time the brakes have activated twice. The first time there was no obvious cause. There was a narrow trench cut across the road for some reason and I guess that had somehow caused the very brief activation. The second time, a car emerged from a side road a bit more than necessary and a full emergency activation occurred. I think the steering also pulled to the right to avoid the car but that could have been my own response. The car did not pull out enough to cause a serious hazard but the brake system thought it did. It was very alarming at the time but one day might save a collision. How often does the system activate?

I have not had the brakes applied, but the crash sensor thing (can't member Skoda's name for it) has erroneously flashed up 'you are about to crash' symbol twice, a month or so ago, followed by  'front assist sensor temporarily unavailable' and a orange warning triangle. It was cleared up by me cleaning the rectangular bit in the centre of the front grill that the radar sensor sits behind. I also dislodged a few bits of crud behind it. Not had the problem since. I think you can disable the system via the steering wheel buttons, at least I can on the more limited SE version.
