ESP Stabilisation System

The ESP electronic stabilisation system is one of the most advanced safety elements, together with the ABS, EBV, MSR, ASR, EDS, HBA, DSR and ESBS systems. And, although for many competing makes it is still an accessory only for more luxurious versions, the Octavia offers it in the Classic version.

Headrests

In addition to the solid structure of the body and seatbelts, the highest possible degree of protection for the passengers is provided by new, more effective headrests with the WOKS system in the front seats and three adjustable headrests for passengers in the rear.

Airbags

Airbags are among the most important safety elements. The new Octavia provides passengers with the maximum extent of protection in the basic version, as it has airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as side airbags in the front and head airbags.

Three-point seatbelts

Three-point adjustable seatbelts on all seats (on the front seats also with tighteners) are a matter of course in the Octavia cars. These are very important elements of safety equipment along with the airbags, in particular.
