ResetCaution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise 
this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may also result 
in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in 
incorrect readouts.
information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of the 
vehicle is disconnected.
If the instrument cluster is exchanged af ter a repair, the correct values must be 
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a 
specialist garage.
The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for  a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2). 
We therefore recommend having the Service  Interval Display reset only by an author-
ised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display 
with a vehicle system tester.
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about the 
service intervals.

Windshield wiper and wash systemWindshield wiper
You can operate the windscreen wipers and automatic wipe/wash 
using the windscreen wiper lever.The windscreen wiper lever  fig. 50  has the following positions:Finger-operated wiping– If you wish to wipe the windscreen only  briefly, push the lever into the sprung 
position  . If you hold the lever in the lo wer position for more than 1 second, the 
wiper wipes faster.Intermittent wiping– Position the lever up into position  .
– Set with the switch   the desired brea k between the individual wiper strokesSlow wipe– Position the lever up into position  .Fast wipe– Position the lever up into position  .
Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen– Pull the lever towards the steering wheel into sprung position  , the wash system 
sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later. The wash 
system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneously at a speed of more than 
120 km/h.
– Release the lever. The windscreen wash system stops and the wiper continues for  another 3 - 4 wiper strokes (depending on  the period of spraying of the wind-
screen). At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again* 5 seconds 
after the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This 
function can be activated/deacti vated by a specialist garage.Rain sensor*– Move the lever into position  .
– You can set the sensitivity of the sensor individually with switch  .Wiping the rear window pane*– Push the lever away from the steering wheel into position   - the widescreen 
wiper will operate every 6 seconds.Automatic wipe/wash for the rear window pane*– Press the lever from the steering wheel forward into the sprung position  , the wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later.

– Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the wiper  to continue for another 2 - 3 wiper strokes  (depending on the period of spraying of 
the windscreen).  The lever will stay in position after releasing it  .Switching windscreen wipers off– Move the lever back into its home position  .
After the windscreen wiper switches off each  time or the ignition switches off for the 
third time, the position of the windscreen wiper changes, this counteracts an early 
fatigue of the wiper rubbers.

– In the menu  Aux. Heating  select the menu point  Running time and set the 
desired operating period in steps of 5 m inutes. The running time can be 10 to 60 
minutes.
– By selecting the menu point  Back, you will reach in the menu  Aux. Heating.
– In the menu  Aux. heating select the menu point  Mode.
– In the menu  Mode select the desired mode Heating for  or Ventilation for .ProgrammingFor the programming of the auxiliary heating  (auxiliary heating and ventilation) in the 
menu Aux. heating  there are three pre-set times:
Pre-set time 1 
Pre-set time 2 
Pre-set time 3 
In each pre-set time, the day and the time (hour and minute) can be set for switching 
on the auxiliary heating and/or ventilation.
An empty position can be fo und between Sunday and Monday  when selecting the day. 
If this empty position is selected, the activation is performed without taking into 
account the day.
If you leave the pre-set  menu by selecting the menu  Back or do not make changes on 
the display for longer than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time 
is not active.
Both other pre-set times can be programmed and stored in the same way.

Pre-set time (weekday, hours, minute) activated!  and the set pre-set time is active.
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a time 
again.
Changing the active pre-set time is carried out after selecting the menu point  Activate 
in the menu  Aux. heating  by selecting a pre-set time. The prerequisite for the correct switching on 
of the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating 
and ventilation) according to the programmed  pre-set time is the correct setting of the

stationary. The vehicle would otherwise 
immediately start off - also when the 
handbrake is firmly applied - risk of an accident!
You must move the selector lever into position P and firmly apply the hand-
brake first before you or any other person opens the bonnet and starts working 
on the engine when it is running - risk of  accident! It is also essential to observe 
all warnings  page 197, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Selector lever lockAutomatic selector lever lock 
With the ignition on, the selector lever is locked when it is in the positions  P and N . You 
must first of all depress the brake pedal in or der to move the selector lever out of this 
position. The warning light 
   page 33 lights up in the instrument cluster as a 
reminder for the driver when the selector lever is in the positions  P and  N.
A time delay element ensures that the selector lever is not blocked when rapidly 
switching over the position  N (e.g. from  R to  D). This does, for example, allow one to 
seesaw out a stuck vehicle. The selector lever lo ck will click into place if the lever is in 
the  N position for more than 2 seconds without the brake pedal being pressed.
The selector lever lock is only active if the  vehicle is stationary or moving at speed of 
less than 5 km/hour. The lock is swit ched off automatically into position  N when the 
car is travelling at a higher speed.
Shiftlock button
The Shiftlock button in the hand le of selector lever prevents certain selector lever posi-
tions being engaged inadvertently. The selector lever lock is cancelled when you press 
the Shiftlock button.
Keylock - Ignition key withdrawal lock
You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector 
lever is in position  P. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the selector lever is blocked in 
position  P.
Kickdown function
The kickdown function provides you with maximum acceleration 
power.Fully depressing the a ccelerator pedal allows the kickdown function to be activated in 
the desired driving program. This function has precedence over the driving 
programme and serves for maximum accelerati on of the vehicle when exploiting the 
maximum power potential of the engine wi thout taking into account the current 
selector lever position ( D, S  or  Tiptronic). The gearbox shifts down to one or several 
gears in line with the driving state and the vehicle accelerates. The gearbox does not 
shift up into the highest gear until the en gine has reached its maximum revolutions for 
this gear range.
WARNING
Please note that using the kickdown function can result in the driven wheels 
spinning on a smooth or slippery road surface - risk of skidding!Dynamic shift programmeThe automatic gearbox of your vehicle is  controlled electronically. Shifting up and 
down through the gears is performed automatically 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 po ssible will have a favourable effect on your fuel consump-
tion.
Adopting a  sporty style of driving  with rapid movements of the accelerator pedal 
combined with sharp acceleration and freque nt changes in speed, exploiting the top 
speed of the car or depressing the accele rator 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 depressi ng the accelerator rapidly. The gearbox 
shifts down into a lower gear matching the speed of the car and this allows you to

Phone PhonebookA phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph one preinstallation with voice control. In 
the phone phonebook there are 2500 free memory locations available. This phone 
phonebook can be used in line  with the mobile telephone.
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the phone book 
from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control unit.
Each time the telephone has establishe d a new connection with the hands-free 
system, an update of the relevant phone b ook is performed. The updating can take a 
few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored after the last update 
was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone numbers are only shown after the 
updating has ended.
If the number of contacts loaded exceed s 2 500, the phone book is not complete.
If a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call, dialogue of the voice control) 
occurs during the updating pr ocedure, the updating is interrupted. After the telephone 
event has ended, the updating starts anew. Store voice recording of a contact

Voice controlIntroductionThe period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and 
carry out the voice commands, is called DIALOGUE. The system gives audible feedback 
and guides you if necessary th
rough the relevant functions.
Switch on voice control (dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time  by briefly pressing the PTT button 
 on the 
adapter*  page 128, fig. 123  or on the multifunction steering wheel*  page 128.
If the system does not recognise your command, it repeats the first part of the aid and 
thus a new entry is possible. After the 2nd error the system repeats the second part of 
the aid. After the 3rd error the answer “ Cancel” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Switching off voice control (dialogue)
You can end the dialogue at any time by briefly pressing the PTT button 
 on the 
adapter*  page 128, fig. 123  or on the multifunction steering wheel*  page 128. If 
the system expects a voice command, you can end the dialogue with the command 
CANCEL .
Only the message just repeated can be  ended by pressing the PTT button  during the 
message and thus it is possible to pronounce the expected command sooner.
When receiving an incoming call, the dialog ue is immediately interrupted and you can 
accept the call by pressing the button 
 on the multifunction steering wheel* or by 
pressing the button for receiving  a call directly on your telephone.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following 
factors:
Speak with a normal tone of voice withou t intonation and excessive voice pauses.
Avoid insufficient articulation.
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing 
exterior noise.
