Route guidance
Introduction to the subject
A route is created by starting route guidance to a destination. Additional inter-
mediate destinations can be added to the route.
The route guidance takes place as follows
▶ Through graphical driving instructions on the Infotainment screen and in the
display of the instrument cluster.
▶ With nav. announcements.
Infotainment tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data
is incomplete or there is no data at all for the given area.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or change the route.
CAUTION
The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g.
due to out-of-date navigation data.

To move the selector lever from mode N to D / S only the brake pedal is press-
ed.
The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D/S ). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked » page 303.
Note
If you want to switch the selector lever from mode P to mode D/S or vice ver-
sa, move the selector lever quickly. This prevents that you accidentally select
mode R or N.
Manual shifting of gears (Tiptronic)

The currently selected gear is indicated in the display » Fig. 259 on page 210 .
The gear shift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 44.
When accelerating, the gearbox automatically shifts up into the higher gear
just before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached. If a lower gear
is selected, the gearbox does not shift down until there is no risk of the engine
over revving.
Note
It may be beneficial, for example, when travelling downhill, to use manual
shifting of gears. Shifting to a lower gear reduces the load on the brakes and
hence the wear of the brakes.

DriveGreen function
213Run in engine
During the first 1,500 km, the driving manner determines the quality of the
running in process on a new engine.
During the first 1,000 km , the engine should not be charged with more than
3/4 of the maximum permitted engine revs and without the trailer.
In the area of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres , the engine load can be increased up
to the maximum permitted engine speed.
Tips for economical driving
The fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road condition, weather
conditions and the like.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed. ▶ Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶ Observe the recommended gear » page 44.
▶ Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶ Reduce idling.
▶ Avoid short distances.
▶ Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained » page 286.
▶ Avoid unnecessary ballast.
▶ Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.
▶ Only switch on electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating) for as long as they are
needed. In the Infotainment menu 

up to
three consumers who currently have the largest share of fuel consumption,
can be displayed.
▶ Before switching on, ventilate the cooling system briefly and do not use the
cooling system with open windows.
▶ Do not leave windows open at high speed.

Multicollision brake (MCB)Read and observe
on page 216 first.
MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision by means of automatic braking
interventions and to stabilise the vehicle. This reduces the risk of a subse-
quent crash due to uncontrolled vehicle movement.
The automatic brake interventions can take place only if the following condi-
tions are met.
There was a front, side and rear-end collision of a certain severity.
The impact speed was greater than approx. 10 km/h.
The brakes, the ESL and other required electrical systems remain function-
al after impact.
The accelerator pedal is not actuated.
Trailer stabilisation system (TSA)
Read and observe
on page 216 first.
The TSA helps the combination stable in situations where the trailer sways
and then the whole trailer combination.
TSA brakes the individual wheels of the towing vehicle in order to damp the rocking motion of the entire vehicle combination.
The following conditions are required for the correct TSA function. The trailer was shipped from the factory or purchased from the ŠKODA
genuine accessories.
The trailer is electrically connected to the towing vehicle via the trailer
socket.
The parking aid is activated.
The speed is greater than 60 km/h.

The Adaptive Cruise Control (hereinafter referred to as ACC) maintains the set
speed or the distance to the vehicle ahead without the accelerator or brake
pedal being pressed.
The front of the vehicle and the distance to the vehicle ahead is monitored by
a radar sensor » page 215.
The state in which the ACC maintains the speed or the proximity is described
as control from here on.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The driver must always be ready to take over the operation of the accel-
erator and brake pedal.
■
The ACC does not react when approaching a stationary obstacle, such as
traffic jams, vehicle breakdowns or vehicles waiting at a traffic light.
■
The ACC does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
■
If the ACC does not decelerate fast enough, immediately apply the vehi-
cle's foot brake.
WARNINGFor safety reasons, do not use the ACC under the following conditions.■When driving in turning lanes, motorway exits or construction sites, to
avoid an unwanted acceleration to the stored speed.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When road conditions are poor (e.g. ice, slippery road, gravel, dirt road).
