Technical glossary
ABS: the Anti-lock Braking System prevents the wheels
from locking during heavy or emergency braking,
enabling the vehicle to remain steerable. When
braking, wheel speed sensors measure the road wheel
speed and should one or more wheels start to lock the
system reduces brake pressure to that wheel.
AFM: records and assesses all available data about the
journey and uses them to optimize the ESP system’s
reactions, which can thus be adapted to any driving
style and the current vehicle payload.
ASR: Anti-Slip Regulation traction control ensures the
Superb’s stability when pulling away or accelerating.
If the engine power or torque being transmitted to the
drive wheels is too great, for example on a slippery
road surface, engine torque is automatically reduced
until optimum road-holding returns, thus preventing
wheelspin. A light indicates whether the ASR system is
on. It can be manually switched off.
CAN Bus: the CAN Bus is an electronic data bus
which links the various different electronic control
systems in the car. It ensures ideal co-ordination
between systems and reduces the amount of wiring
needed in the car.
DSR: Driver Steering Recommendation – in a crisis
situation it helps the driver stabilize a skid by making
aslight intervention in the steering.
EBV: Electronic Brake Variator – ensures
optimal brake force distribution between the
front and rear axles.
EDL: the Electronic Differential Lock continually
compares the rpm of the drive wheels, and if it
identifies a difference between them which could
lead to an individual wheel spinning, for example
ifthe two wheels are on different types of surface
oraccelerating on wet leaves, the system brakes
the wheel affected until uniform rpm of all drive
wheels is restored.
ESBS: Electronic Stability Brake System – targeted
interventions in the braking process improve the
handling of a car as it brakes when passing round
abend and keeps it from veering.
ESP: Electronic Stability Programme is designed to
stabilise the dynamic handling response of the vehicle
bycounteracting any tendency towards oversteer or
understeer. The ESP constantly compares the actual
movement of the vehicle with predetermined values
and according to the situation ESP reacts by braking
each wheel individually (according to direction of slip)
and automatically adjusting the engine’soutput.
Fuel cut-out: should one or more of the airbags
inflate after an accident, this system automatically
cuts out the fuel supply,thus preventing subsequent
leakage of the diesel or petrol.
HBA: Hydraulic BrakeAssistant – speeds up the brake
effect in cases of hard braking.
MBA: the Mechanical Brake Assist system increases
brake effort under emergency braking conditions
through a dual rate servo.
MSR: the engine torque control system recognises
when the wheels are subject to too much slippage
and regulates the power supply by intervening in the
engine management system. This prevents wheelspin
when, for example, changing down on a smooth
orwet road surface. MSR is a constituent part of
the ASR system.
Trip Computer: the trip computer not only features
an impressive range of data displays, operating it is
simplicity itself. A multifunction touch key enables you
to call up all relevant data on the easy-to-read display.
Features include external temperature, time, current
fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, miles
driven and average speed.
Xenon lights: the Xenon lights produce about 2.5
times the light of standard Halogen lights with 35%
less energy consumption.
DPF: diesel particulate filter is part of the exhaust
system responsible for cleaning the engine exhaust
gases before they enter the atmosphere. The DPF
catches soot particles emitted in the exhaust gas and
it works in conjunction with the catalytic converter,
which reduces the amount of harmful gases entering
the atmosphere. The DPF must periodically be
emptied of the soot particles, a process known as
regeneration. This involves elevated exhaust system
temperatures. A driving style is required during
regeneration, where a constant vehicle speed above
37 mph must be maintained. This does not always
suit customers who make frequent short journeys or
experience stop/start driving or drive within
inner-city or urban areas.

Mobile phones compatible with the Bluetooth® system
Mobile phones on the ‘3’ network are incompatible with the Bluetooth® phone preparation on Superb.
The phones on ‘3’ areunable to switch to rSAP mode and will thereforenot work on this system.
