NEW TWO-SPOKE STEERING WHEEL

It is the interior’s crowning jewel,

which is used for much more than

just steering the car. Its shape is

predetermined, but there is still room

for innovation. What has changed?

Explore the creation of a new steering wheel for ŠKODA cars at ŠKODA

Storyboard. The new two-spoke steering wheel was first unveiled in the

fourth-generation of the ŠKODA OCTAVIA. Now it is being given to

other ŠKODA models as well. The steering wheel is ergonomic, freshlooking and enables a range of variations, including a three-spoke version.

ON 16/10/2020, IT WAS

152 YEARS FROM THE BIRTH

OF VÁCLAV KLEMENT,

ONE OF THE FOUNDERS

OF OUR COMPANY.

The enthusiastic technician

first worked as an apprentice in

a bookstore in Slaný. His path

then brought him to Mladá

Boleslav, where he bought

his own bookstore. Here, he

formed a cycling club & also

traded in bicycles to help pay

for his shop. This side business

would later shape his future.

After his bike of a foreign brand

broke and his complaint was

rejected, he started making his

own SLAVIA bikes 1895 with

Václav Laurin.

Při vývoji nových modelů, ale i pro kontrolu během sériové výroby

prochází vozy ve ŠKODA AUTO zkouškami vodotěsnosti. Jejich

úkolem je zjistit, zda do interiéru automobilu například při dešti nebo

v myčce nezatéká. Zkušebna vodotěsnosti funguje v automobilce již

od roku 1982 a v nedávné době prošla zásadní modernizací

DIGISIGN:

NEW FEATURES

The DigiSign app presents its new

features. „Cancel request“ allows you

to delete your own requests, which has

not been approved or rejected by all

users. This is especially useful, when you

accidentally send the wrong document.

The wording of e-mail notifications, that

inform users about the current status of

their active requests in the app, was also

edited. These notifications now include

the name of the request and the name

of its author. The third change is the

„Confirmed requests“ tab, which became

the new default home page.

EYES THAT SEE IN THE RAIN AND THE DARK

Alert and vigilant eyes of our cars are constantly scanning the surrounding area to make

your life easier behind the wheel. Find out more about the sensors that let your car

activate some functions automatically. For example, sensors control the switch between

your daytime and passing beam lights – handy when entering a tunnel or if darkness

falls. Another sensor checks for moisture or sunlight intensity, and another one is in

charge of automatic windscreen wiper activation.
