Octavia RS 245

Safety without compromise

Front Assist with City Emergency Brake

A car that senses danger ahead? Now that’s clever. Front Assist with City Emergency Brake+ uses a radar sensor to monitor the risks in front of you, alert you of any hazards, and will even brake on its own to help avoid a collision.

Safety without compromise

Passenger Protect Assist

A car that braces for impact? That’s seriously smart. Passenger Protect Assist uses information from the car’s braking and electronic system to ready for impact when there is a high chance of collision. In such an event, the front seat belts will tighten and the sunroof (if equipped) and windows will close to keep you in the best position for airbag deployment. Only available on RS245.

Safety without compromise

Fatigue Detection

Our engineers have developed a hands-on approach to help identify driver fatigue. Fatigue Detection+ monitors your movement through the steering wheel. If it senses signs of fatigue, it triggers an audible and visual warning alerting you that you need to stop and rest.

Safety without compromise

Multi-collision Brake

The last thing we want to happen to you immediately after an accident — is another accident. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps you maintain control of the car if it begins skidding, while Multi-collision Brake activates the braking system to help minimise any further collision.

Safety without compromise

LED Headlights with AFS

It’s good to know what’s around the corner with the LED headlights with AFS (Adaptive Frontlight System). AFS swivels the light beam by up to 15° into turns, anticipating the movement of your car to improve visibility.

Safety without compromise

Prefill Braking

Prefill Braking is a safety feature that anticipates your next step — literally. The OCTAVIA RS & RS 245 can recognise when you may be about to brake sharply and prepares by ‘prefilling’ the brake hydraulics with fluid. It also brings the brake pads closer to the discs, helping you stop safer, sooner.

Safety without compromise

Rear View Camera and Rear Parking Sensors

Some forward thinking for when you’re going backwards. A Rear View Camera+, Front and Rear Parking Sensors+, standard across the OCTAVIA range, help you back out of your driveway with peace of mind and tackle those tricky reverse parks with confidence. Front parking sensors comes standard on RS 245. Not available on RS.

Safety without compromise

Light Assist with rain sensor

The OCTAVIA RS & RS 245 is packed with features for a rainy day. Light Assist automatically adapts to changing light conditions, while the rain sensor adjusts the speed of the wipers depending on light or heavy rainfall. Standard on RS 245. Not available on RS.

Safety without compromise

Lane Assist

Ever noticed how when your mind starts to wander, so does your car? Lane Assist+ uses a camera positioned within the rear-view mirror unit to actively recognise lane markings and, if you begin to stray, take corrective action to gently steer you back on course. It will also send audible and visual messages if you need to take additional action. Only available on RS 245 as part of Luxury Pack. Not available on RS.

Safety without compromise

Side Assist - Blind Spot Detection

Here’s a feature you might not have seen coming. Side Assist (Blind Spot Detection)**+ helps you change lanes safely by letting you know if there are any vehicles in your blind spot. If so, an LED symbol in the side mirror will light up, and start flashing if you indicate in the direction of the vehicle. It also takes corrective action if there is a car in your blind spot. Only available on RS 245 as part of Luxury Pack. Not available on RS.

Safety without compromise
