1. Introduction
The new vehicle features the typical ŠKODA design, ample interior roominess, smart solutions and innovative
technologies usually seen in higher classes.
The car is based on one of the Group´s modular platforms; lightweight design combines with extensive
use of high-strength steels for maximum body strength.
With the base-level 1.4 TSI petrol engine and front-wheel-drive, the ŠKODA KODIAQ´s kerb weight is only 1,452 kg;
the car´s weight with the 1.4 TSI engine and four-wheel-drive is 1,540 kg.
Although only four centimetres longer than the ŠKODA OCTAVIA, the ŠKODA KODIAQ offers above-average inte-
rior roominess in the SUV segment, offering enough space and safety for five or, in the extended version, seven
car occupants.
As an option, the vehicle can be fitted with two third-row seats – this makes the ŠKODA KODIAQ the first
seven-seater in ŠKODA´s modern history.

2. Body design and exterior
The new model is based on the VisionS concept car showcased at the 2016 Geneva Motor
Show (see Figures SP112_1 and SP112_2 on the other side of the cover of this
Workbook).
As usual with new ŠKODA models, the body design refers to Czech crystal
glass. In particular, the inspiration by the Czech glass-making tradition
is reflected in the design of the 3D taillights.
Bold lines and recesses on the side doors and bonnet, robust
tailgate, high clear height, “square” mudguard edges - all these
items highlight the car´s size and robustness.

8.2 Adaptive chassis control - DCC
After the ŠKODA SUPERB III, the ŠKODA KODIAQ is ŠKODA AUTO´S second model to feature adaptive chassis
control - DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control). DCC is an intelligent, electronically controlled system designed to control
the shock absorber stiffness according to the driver-selected driving mode and input information provided
by the vehicle´s sensors and control units.
Based on their preferred driving style, the driver can choose from three modes offered by the DCC:
– Comfort (suitable for poor-quality road surfaces and for long-distance motorway trips)
– Normal (suitable for normal driving styles)
– Sport (suitable for sporty driving – the suspension is stiffer for better road contact)
Continuously analysing the vehicle´s behaviour, the adaptive chassis control system adapts the suspension (chas-
sis) stiffness within the selected driving mode. In critical situations the suspension system is controlled to ensure
maximum possible road safety, but the braking distance is reduced.

9. Brake system
The ŠKODA KODIAQ is fitted with a dual-circuit diagonal brake system with a vacuum brake booster.
The dual-circuit arrangement increases safety in braking situations. If one of the circuit fails, the vehicle uses
the other circuit to stop itself.
In left-hand-drive vehicles the brake and stabilisation system control unit is located on the right side of the engine
compartment (left side in right-hand-drive vehicles); together with the hydraulic unit and the electric motor
of the hydraulic pump, these items constitute an integrated system.
The vehicle is fitted with an electromechanical parking brake that the driver controls using a button on the centre
console, under the gear stick.
The front axle is fitted with disc brakes with a single-piston floating calliper. The front brake discs are hollow,
with inner cooling. Depending on the seats configuration (five-seater/seven-seater versions) and the front wheel
drive/four-wheel-drive and engine configuration - see the table on page 58 of this Workbook - the ŠKODA KODIAQ
is fitted with the following disc versions: diameter 312 mm, thickness 25 mm; diameter 314 mm, thickness 30 mm;
or front disc diameter 340 mm, thickness 30 mm.
The rear axle is also fitted with disc brakes with a single-piston floating calliper. Brakes without inner cooling
and discs with a diameter of 300 mm and a thickness of 12 mm are used across all ŠKODA KODIAQ versions.
The rear-axle disc brakes feature electric motors with electromechanical parking brake worm gears.

9.1 Control units for the brake and stabilisation systems
In the European market the ŠKODA KODIAQ comes with two versions of the MK100 Plus control unit made
by Continental.
The control units, the hydraulics unit and the electric motor of the hydraulic pump constitute an integrated
system.
The ESC Base MK100 Plus and ESC High MK100 Plus control units feature advanced braking and stabilisation
functions. In contrast with the ESC Base, the ESC High can control the adaptive cruise control in combination
with automatic transmission. A detailed overview of functions is provided in the following table.
GB 55
GETtheMANUALS.org
Sensors integrated in MK100 Plus control units
The ESC Base and ESC High integrate the following sensors:
– Transverse acceleration sensor
– Longitudinal acceleration sensor
– Rotation speed sensor
– Brake fluid pressure sensor
Location
In left-hand-drive versions of the ŠKODA KODIAQ the MK100 Plus unit is located on the right side of the engine
compartment, in right-hand-drive vehicles on the left side of the engine compartment.
At first sight the control units are identical, the only difference lies in the coding (identification).
The units are fitted with a 46-pin connector. The ESC High is more silent thanks to anti-noise measures
taken in the hydraulic part with regard to the ACC FTS + Stop and Go function.

9.3 Master brake cylinder with brake booster
The ŠKODA KODIAQ features the traditional concept of a master brake cylinder with a vacuum brake booster.
Left-hand-drive vehicles are fitted with a brake booster plate with a diameter of 11”, right-hand-drive vehicles -
to save mounting space - come with a tandem brake booster, i.e. two smaller plates (8”) located behind each other.
The diameter of the piston in the master brake cylinder is 23.81 mm in both formats.
SP106_76 SP106_92
The electromechanical parking brake has replaced the traditional handbrake. When the vehicle is stopped
or parked, the brake secures the vehicle against undesired movement.
The electromechanical parking brake acts on the rear wheels, and the driver can activate/deactivate it using
a switch on the centre console, under the gear stick. Replacing the traditional handbrake with an electric
switch has provided more storage space between the front seats.
The electromechanical parking brake electronics control two electric motors with worm gears to control
the rear-axle brake discs.

Control
– Pulling and holding the control button will brake the rear axle
If, while the vehicle is in motion, the brake pedal fails or gets locked, the parking brake can be used as an emer-
gency brake.
– Pull and hold the control button to activate the emergency brake function - the vehicle will start braking hard
(while giving off an audio signal). The braking is stopped by releasing the button or depressing the accelera-
tor pedal.

If the vehicle battery is flat, the electromechanical parking brake cannot be released.
To restore the electromechanical parking brake function with a flat battery, the vehicle needs
to be connected to an external power supply (e.g. Starterbox).
