the parking place can differ slightly. This can be avoided through new calibration of
the system in a specialist garage.
•The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking place can be influenced by the
incorrectly determined outside temperature if the later is influenced by the thermal
radiation of the engine i.e for stop and go in a traffic jam.
•In order to avoid damaging the sensor s while cleaning with high-pressure
cleaners or steam jets, the sensors must on ly be directly sprayed for short periods
while a minimum distance of 10 cm must be observed.
Note
•A component of the park assist is the front and rear parking aid*.
•The electronic stability programme (ESP) must always be switched on for the
parking procedure.
•Only the front parking aid operates if yo u are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*). This is why it is not possible
to park backwards with the help of the park assist when towing a trailer.
•The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.

of the instrument cluster as soon as you drive slower than 30 km/h.
Note
•If the park assist is switched on, a yell ow warning light lights up in the button.
•The search for suitable parking places is automatic after switching on the igni-
tion at speeds of more than 30 km/h. Sear ching for a parking place is performed at
the same time on the driver and front passenger side.
•If the sensors find a suitable parking place, they store its parameters until
another suitable parking place has been fo und or until a distance of 10 m had been
driven after finding the parking place. This is why it is possible to switch on the park
assist after driving past the driving place; on the information display* appears the
information if this parking space is suitable for parking.

Cruise control system (CCS)*
Introduction
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h (20
mph), once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal.
This is only possible within the range wh ich is permitted by the power output and
braking power of the engine. The cruise control system makes it possible - particu-
larly on long journeys - for you to rest your “accelerator foot”.
WARNING
•The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads or
loose chippings) - risk of accident!
•In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always
switch off the system after use.

Automatic gearbox DSG*
126
Kickdown function
The kickdown function provides you with maximum acceleration
power.
Depressing the accelerator pedal allows th e kickdown function to be activated in
the desired driving program. This function has precedence over the driving
programme and serves for maximum accelera tion of the vehicle when exploiting
the maximum power potential of the engi ne without 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 highes t gear until the engine has reached its
maximum revolutions for this gear range.
WARNING
Please note that using the kickdown fu nction can result in the driven wheels
spinning on a smooth or slippery road surface - risk of skidding!
Dynamic shift programme
The 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 frequent 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 matching the speed of the car and this allows
you to accelerate rapidly (e.g. when overtaking) without having to depress the
accelerator pedal fully into the kickdown range. The original programme will be
reactivated to match your particular 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 gearbox 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.

– If the rocker switches or are not pressed for some time, the manual shifting switches off. You can also switch off the temporary
switch over to manual shifting by pressing the right rocker switch
for more than 1 second.
Emergency programme
An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the system.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are func-
tional faults in the gearbox electronics. This is indicated by all of the segments in the
display lighting up or going out.
A functional fault can ha ve the following effect:
•The gearbox only shifts into certain gears.
•The reverse gear R cannot be used.
•The manual shift programme (Tiptronic) is switched off in the emergency mode.
If the gearbox has switched over to emergency mode, drive to the nearest
specialist garage in order to have the fault rectified.
Selector lever-emergency unlocking (DSG)
In case of interruption of the power supply (e.g. flat vehicle battery, defec-
tive fuse) or defect of the selector lever lock, the selector lever can no
longer be shifted from the position P in the normal way and the vehicle
can no longer be moved. The selector lever must be unlocked in case of
emergency.
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Carefully pull up the front left and right cover.
– Pull up rear cover.
– Press with a narrow object (e.g. ignition key) the yellow plastic hoop ⇒fig. 137 to the left.
– Simultaneously press the shiftlock bu tton in the handle of the selector
lever in the position N

Universal telephone preinstallation GSM III*
Introduction
This enables you to make full use of the ad vantages of a normal carphone (“hands-
free system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of
signals using an external aerial etc.). The equipment includes also the voice control.
The telephone is connected using the rSAP profile - Remote SIM access profile
(telecommunication of the SIM data) by means of Bluetooth
® technology, if your
telephone supports this profile. The equi pment includes the following functions:
•Display of the SMS text in the information display.
•Free talking in the vehicle interior.
•MUTE signal to the radio.
•Voice control (with the set-up possibility for “short and long dialogue”,
depending on the user's knowledge of the operating structure).
•Convenience mode with the multifunction steering wheel and the display in the
information display.
•Handsfree-system.
The voice control of the telephone is acti vated by pressing the button PTT on the
multifunction steering wheel ⇒page 139, fig. 142 .
A phone phonebook is part of the univers al telephone preinstallation GSM III with
voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1 000 free memory locations
available. This phone phonebook is inde pendent of the appliance used for the
mobile phone.
Furthermore the volume can be changed indi vidually at any time with the button
for setting the radio or on vehicles fitted with multifunction steering wheel* with
function buttons on the steering wheel.
Dialogue
The 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 feed-
back and guides you if nece ssary through the relevant functions. You can start or
end the dialogue at any time by pressing the PTT button. The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g.
after erasing the name from the phonebook.
The dialogue of the incoming call is i
mmediately interrupted and you can accept
the call by pressing the button
.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “ Sorry?” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the 3rd
error the answer “ Cancel” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following
factors:
•Speak with a normal tone of voice wi thout intonation and excessive voice
pauses.
•Avoid insufficient articulation.
•Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.
•It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
•During the dialogue avoid additional nois e in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
•Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•The microphone for voice control is in serted in the moulded headliner and
directed to the driver and front passen ger. Therefore the driver and the front
passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic si tuation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Use the telephone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.
Note
•Please contact your Škoda Service Partne r if there are any points which are not
clear.
