Technical Data
Information for driving with the automatic gearbox DSG* The abbreviation DSG means Direct shift gearbox (Direct shift gearbox). Two independent clutches are needed for the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox.
These replace the torque converter
of the conventional automatic gearbox. Their shifting is matched in such a way that there are no jerks when shifting the gear and the power trans-mission of the engine to the front wheels is not interrupted. Shifting up and down through the gears is perf
ormed automatically. You can also,
however, switch the gearbox over into the
Tiptronic mode
. This mode
makes it possible for you to also shift gears manually
⇒
page 136.
Starting-off and Driving – Depress the brake pedal fully and keep it depressed. – Press the Shiftlock button (button
in handle of the selector lever),
move the selector lever into the desired position, e.g. in
D, and then
release the Shiftlock button.
– Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator
⇒
.
Stopping for a short time – The selector lever position
N does not have to be selected when stop-
ping just for a short time, such as at
a cross roads. It is absolutely suffi-
cient to hold the stopped vehicle stationary by depressing the foot brake. The engine can, however, be allowed just to idle.
Parking – Depress the brake pedal and hold it depressed. – Apply the handbrake firmly. – Press and Shiftlock button in the selector lever, move the selector
lever to
P and then release the Shiftlock button.
The engine can only be
started
when the selector lever is in position
P or N
⇒ page 124. At temperatures below -10 °C the engine can only be started in the selector lever position
P.
It is sufficient to engage
selector lever position
P when parking on a flat surface.
When parking on a slope you should first apply the handbrake firmly and then move the selector le
ver into position
P. This is to ensure that there is no excessive
pressure acting on the lock mechanism and
that it is easier to subsequently move
the selector lever out of position
P.
If the selector lever position
N is selected by accident while driving it is first neces-
sary to release pressure on the accelerato
r pedal and wait for idling speed of the
engine to be reached before engaging a drive position in the selector lever.
WARNING
•
Do not depress the accelerator when changing the position of the
selector lever if the car is stationary an
d the engine is running - risk of acci-
dent!•
Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving - risk of
an accident!•
If you are stopping at a hill (downhill section), never try to hold the car
stationary with the gear engaged by me
ans of the “accelerator”, this means
by letting the clutch slip. This can lead
to overheating of the clutch. If there is
a risk of overheating of the clutch due
to overload, the clut
ch is opened auto-
matically and the vehicle rolls backward - risk of accident!•
If you must stop at a slope, depress and hold the brake pedal, so that you
can prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
Caution
•
The double clutch on the automatic gear
box DSG is equipped with an overload
protection. If you make use of
the uphill function on a vehi
cle which is stationary or
driving slowly uphill, it will result in an
increase of thermal stress of the clutches.
•
An overheating of the clutches can be detected by the flashing of the selector
level indicator and the “jerk” of the clutches, finally the clutches are opened. The power transmission from the engine to the front wheels is interrupted and as a

Dynamic shift programmeThe automatic gearbox of your
vehicle is controlled electronically. Shifting up and
down through the gears is performed auto
matically on the basis of pre-defined
driving programmes. Adopting a
moderate style of driving
will cause the gearbox to select the most
economical driving programme. Shifting up into a higher gear as soon as possible and shifting down as late as possible will
have a favourable effect on your fuel
consumption. Adopting a
sporty style of driving
with rapid movements of the accelerator pedal
combined with sharp acceleration and freq
uent changes in speed, exploiting the
top speed of the car or depressing the a
ccelerator pedal (kickdown function), will
cause the gearbox to switch over to this style of driving and shift down earlier with frequent changes in gears in comparison to the moderate style of driving. Selecting the most appropriate driving programme for the particular style of driving is a continuous process. Irrespective of this
it is, however, possible to switch or shift
down into a dynamic shift programme by
depressing the accelerator rapidly. The
gearbox shifts down into a lower gear matc
hing the speed of the car and this allows
you to accelerate rapidly (e.g. when ov
ertaking) without having to depress the
accelerator pedal fully into the kickdown
range. The original programme will be
reactivated to match your part
icular style of driving once the gearbox has shifted up
again. When driving in hilly regions, the gears are selected to match uphill and downhill sections. This avoids the ge
arbox frequently shifting up and down when negotiating
an uphill stretch. When driving downhill, it is possible to shift down into the Tiptronic position, in order to
exploit the engine brake torque.
Tiptronic The Tiptronic allows the driver to also shift gears manually.The selector lever position you have engaged is indicated in the informa- tion display of the instrument cluster together with the engaged gear ⇒
fig. 156
.
Switching over to manual shifting – Push the selector lever to the right out of position
D. After switching
over, the current engaged gear is indicated in the display.

Wheels and Tyres
242
•
The wheel bolts must be clean and must
turn easily. However, they must
never be treated with grease or oil.•
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a too low tightening torque, the rim
can lossen when the car is moving - risk of accident! A tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rims.
Caution
The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts for steel and light alloy wheels is 120 Nm.Winter tyresThe handling of your vehicle will be signi
ficantly improved when driving on wintry
roads if you fit winter tyres. Summer tyres do not offer the same grip on ice, snow and at temperatures below 7 °C because of
their construction (width, rubber blend,
tread pattern). This particularly applie
s to vehicles which
are equipped with
low-
profile tyres
or high-speed tyres
(code index H or V on wall of tyre).
Winter tyres must be mounted on all four
wheels to obtain the
best handling char-
acteristics. You must only fit those types of winter tyre
which are approved for your vehicle. The
permissible
sizes of winter tyres
are stated in your vehicle documents. Approvals
may differ because of
national legislation.
Please remember that the tyres should be in
flated to 20 kPa (0.2 bar) more than is
the case for summer tyres
⇒page 238.
Winter tyres no longer offer the
same winter performance once the
tyre tread
has
worn down to a depth of about 4 mm. Ageing
a l s o c a u s e s w i n t e r t y re s t o l o s e m o s t
of their winter performance properties
- even in cases where the remaining tread depth is still clearly more than 4 mm. Speed restrictions
apply to winter tyres as
well as to summer tyres
⇒page 240,
⇒
.
You can fit winter tyres of a lower speed ca
tegory to your vehicle provided that you
also do not drive faster than the permissible maximum speed for such tyres, even if the possible maximum speed of your ve
hicle is higher. The
corresponding tyre
category can damage the tyres when ex
ceeding the permissible maximum speed.
Please pay attention to the notes if
you decide to fit winter tyres
⇒page 238.
You can also fit so-called “all-year tyres” instead of winter tyres.Please contact your specialist garage if there are any points which are not clear who will be able to provide you with information regarding the maximum speed for your tyres.
WARNING
You must on no account drive your car at more than the permissible maximum speed for your winter tyres -
risk of an accident resulting from
tyre damage and loss of control over your car.
For the sake of the environment
Fit your summer tyres on again in good time since summer tyres offer you better grip and handling on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as ar tempera- tures below 7 °C - the braking distance is shorter, there is less tyre noise, tyre wear is reduced and fuel consumption is reduced.
Note
Please observe the various differing legal requirements regarding tyres.Unidirectional tyres*The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by
arrows on the wall of the tyre
.
This indicates the direction of
rotation of the tyre, and it is essential that the tyres
are fitted on to run in this direction. On
ly then are the tyres able to provide the
optimal properties in terms of grip, lo
w noise, wear-and-tear and aquaplaning.
Should it be necessary to fit on a spare
wheel in exceptional cases with a tyre not
dedicated to the running direction or in o
pposite running direct
ion, please adopt a

on the side of the road at the
prescribed distance from your vehicl
e while observing all national legal
provisions. In this way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.•
Never start the engine with the vehicle
sitting on the raised jack - danger
of suffering injury.
Caution
If you have to change a wheel on a slope
first block the opposite wheel with a stone
or similar object in order to secure th
e vehicle from unexpectedly rolling away.
Note
Comply with the national legal regulations.Changing a wheelAlways change a wheel on a level surface as far as possible. – Take off the full wheel trim*

page 251.
– Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth,
paper etc.).
– Take off the wheel.
– Fit on the spare wheel and tighten the wheel bolts slightly. – Lower the car. – Tighten the wheel bolts firmly, al
ternately and diagonally using the
wheel wrench* (crosswise) and last the safety wheel bolt* ⇒
page 250.
– Mount the full wheel trim/w
heel trim cap or the caps.
Note
•
All bolts must be clean
and must turn easily.
•
You must never grease or oil the wheel bolts!
•
When fitting on unidirectional tyres, ensure that the tyres rotate in the correct
direction
⇒page 238.
Subsequent stepsAfter changing the wheel, you must perform the following steps. – Stow and attach the replaced wheel in the spare wheel well. – Stow the vehicle tool kit in the space provided. –
Check
the
tyre pressure
on the spare wheel just mounted as soon as
possible.
– Have the
tightening torque
of the wheel bolts
checked
with a torque
wrench as soon as possible. Steel and light alloy wheels must be tight-ened to a tightening torque of
120 Nm
.
– Have the defective tyre repaired as soon as possible.

subsequently fitted with tyres which are different to those it was fitted with at the works.
Note
•
If you find, when changing the wheel,
that the wheel bolts are corroded and
difficult to turn, the bolts mu
st be replaced before chec
king the tightening torque.
•
Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed to a workshop where the tight-
ening torque can be checked.Full wheel trim*Pulling off – Hook the clamp found in the vehicle tool kit into the reinforced edge
of the full wheel trim.
– Push the wheel wrench* through the clamp, support the wheel
wrench* at the tyre and pull off the wheel trim.
Installing – First press the full wheel trim onto the wheel at the valve opening
provided. Then press the full wheel trim into the wheel in such a way that its entire circumference locks correctly in place. Caution
•
Use the pressure of your hand, do not knock on the full wheel trim! Heavy
knocks mainly on the points where the full
wheel trim has not been inserted into
the wheel, can result in damage to the guide and centering elements of the full wheel trim.
•
First check for yourself that the theft-deterrent wheel bolt is located
⇒ page 251 in the hole in the area of the valve before fitting the full wheel trim onto a steel wheel which is attached with a theft-deterrent wheel bolt.Wheel bolts with caps*Pulling off – Push the plastic clip sufficiently fa
r onto the cap until the inner catches
of the clip are positioned at the collar of the cap and detach the cap.

The safety wheel bolts on vehicles fitted with them (one safety wheel bolt per wheel) can only be loosened or tigh
ten up by using the adapter provided.
It is meaningful to note the code numbe
r hammered into the rear side of the
adapter or the rear side of the safety wheel bolts. You can obtain a replacement adapter from an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if necessary, by quoting this number. We recommend that you always carry the
adapter for the wheel bolts with you in
the vehicle. It should be st
owed in the vehicle tool kit.
Caution
Damage can occur to the adapter and safety
wheel bolt if the safety wheel bolt is
tightened up too much.
Note
The set of safety wheel bolts can be obta
ined from an authorised Škoda Service
Par tner.Jump-startingInitial stepsYou can use the battery of another vehicl
e for jump-starting yours if the engine
does not start because the battery on your
vehicle is flat. You will require jump-start
cables for this purpose.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The
capacity
(Ah) of the battery
supplying the power must not be signific
antly less than the capacity of the
discharged battery
in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables Only use jump-start cables which have an
adequately large cross-section and insu-
lated terminal clamps. Please pay attent
ion to the manufacturer's instructions.
Positive cable -
colour coding in the
majority of cases red.
Negative cable -
colour coding in the majority of cases black.
WARNING
•
A discharged battery may already freeze
at temperatures just below 0°C.
In case of frozen battery carry out no jump-starting - risk of explosion!•
Please pay attention to the warning instructions relating to working in
the engine compartment
⇒page 225, “Working in the engine compart-
ment”.
Note
•
There must not be any contact between the two vehicles otherwise current may
flow as soon as the negative terminals are connected.•
The discharged battery must be proper
ly connected to the system of the
vehicle.•
Switch off any mobile phone, pay attent
ion to the instructions for use of the
mobile phone in such a situation.•
We recommend purchasing jump-start cabl
es from Škoda Service Partners as a
Škoda original accessory or from retailers who sell branded batteries.
