ver is in its position for longer than 2
seconds) in order to move the selector lever out of the position
N into the position
R , with the ignition switched on, on a vehicl
e travelling at less than 5 km/hour or on
a stationary vehicle. D - Drive, position for driving forward When the selector lever is in this position, the forward gears are shifted up and down automatically in line with engine
load, vehicle speed and the dynamic shift
programme. You must depress the brake pedal if
you wish to move into position
D from
N when
the vehicle is travelling at less than 5 km/hour or is stationary

.
In certain circumstances (e.g. when driving
in mountainous regions or when towing
a trailer) it may be beneficial to select
the manual shift programme for a short time
in order to adapt the gearbox ratios
manually to the driving situations.
S - Position for sporty style of driving Shifting up later into a higher gear makes it possible to fully exploit the power potential of the engine. The gearbox also then shifts down at higher engine speeds as in the position
D.
The Shiftlock on the selector lever grip must be pressed when moving the selector lever out of the position
D into the position
S.
WARNING
•
Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving - risk of
an accident!•
When the engine is running and the vehicle is stationary, it is necessary
to hold the car with the brake pedal in all the positions of the selector lever (except P and N) since the power transmission is never completely inter- rupted, also not when the engine
is idling - the vehicle "creeps".
•
You must on no account unintentionally operate the throttle (e.g. by
hand from the engine compartment) if
a drive position is engaged when the
car is stationary. The vehicle would ot
herwise 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
handbrake first before you or any othe
r person opens the
bonnet and starts
working on the engine when it is runn
ing - risk of accident! Pay particular
attention to the warning instructions.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 order 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 position
P and
N.
A time delay element ensures that the sele
ctor 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 lock 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 th
e vehicle is stationary
or moving at speed
of less than 5 km/hour. The lock is switched off automatically into position
N when
the car is travelling at a higher speed. Shiftlock button The Shiftlock button in the handle of select
or lever prevents certain selector lever
positions 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.

Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and tw
o-way radio system in a vehicle should
only be carried out by an authorised Škoda Service Partner. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mo
bile phones and two-way radio systems
with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts. It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofit- ting mobile telephones and radio transmitters. Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func- tioning of the electronic systems of your
vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
•
no external aerial,
•
external aerial incorrectly installed,
•
transmission power greater than 10 watts.
You should also be aware of the fact that only an
external
aerial makes it possible
to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special external aerial
or an external aeri
al which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field in the interior of the vehicle.•
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!
•
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts
on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to
the occupants in the event of an acci-
dent.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and two-way radio systems.Universal telephone pr
einstallation GSM II*
IntroductionThis enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone (“hands- free system - Hands Free” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of signals using an external aerial
11) etc.). The equipment includes
also the voice control. The telephone is connected by means of the Bluetooth
®
technology
⇒page 142, “Bluetooth®”. On vehicles fitted with a telephone
mount*, it is also possible to establis
h the connection via the interface of the
adapter
12) ⇒page 144, “Operating telephone calls with the aid of the adapter*.”.
A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone. The volume can be changed at any time with the set button of the radio* or with the function keys on the mult
ifunction steering wheel*.
If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready
”, please
check the operating state of the telephone as follows:•
Is the telephone switched on?
•
Is the PIN code entered?
Dialogue The period, in which the telephone system
is ready to receive voice commands and
carry out the voice commands, is called DI

While connecting the mobile phone with the hands-free system by means of Blue- tooth
®, no other phone can be connected wi
th the hands-free system via Blue-
tooth
®.
Up to three mobile phones can be connect
ed to the hands-free system by means
of Bluetooth
®, whereby only one mobile phone can communicate via Bluetooth
®
with the hands-free system. If a fourth
mobile phone is connected to the hands-
free-system, then the telephone, which has not been used together with the hands-free-system for the longest period, is
disconnected by means of Bluetooth
®.
Establish Bluetooth
® connection
After switching on the ignition, the Blue
tooth connection is
automatically estab-
lished for the already adapted mobile phone
13). Check on the mobile unit if the
automatic connection
was established.
Disconnect Bluetooth
® connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth
® connection is disconnected.
WARNING
•
Pay attention primarily to the traffic si
tuation! As the dr
iver 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 - risk of accident!•
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth
® function of the handsfree-
system must be switched
off by a specialist garage!
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter
during the call can lead to interruption
of the connection. When taking out the
mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this
reduces the quality of the transmitting
and receiving signal. The charging of the
mobile phone battery is also interrupted.
Note
•
Not valid for all mobile phones which
enable a communication via Bluetooth
®.
You can ask at an authorised Škoda Service
Partner if your tele
phone is compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II.
•
Please operate your mobile phone exclus
ively with a suitable adapter in order
to keep a low radiation in the vehicle.•
Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal sending and
receiving power and offers at the same ti
me the advantage of the battery charging.
•
Note that the range of the Bluetooth
® connection to the handsfree-system is
limited to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles between the devices and interferences with
other devices.
If your mobile phone is
e.g. in a jacket pocket, this can lead to
difficulties when establishing the Bluetooth
®
connection with the handsfree-
system or the data transfer.
Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter*Only one telephone mount* is factory-fitted. An adapter for the phone can be purchased from the Škoda original accessories. Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter – First of all push the adapter in the direction of arrow

Seat belts
170
•
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt
together.•
The maximum protection which seat belts can offer is only achieved if
you are correctly seated
⇒page 164, “Correct seated position”.
•
The belt webbing must no
t run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. spec-
tacles, ball-point pens, keys etc.) as this may be a cause of injuries.•
Bulky, loose clothing (e.g. a winter coat over a jacket) does not allow you
to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of the seat belts.•
It is prohibited to use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for
shortening the belts for smaller persons).•
The lock tongue should only be insert
ed into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to protect and the risk of injury increases.•
The backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can
lose their effectiveness.
•
The belt webbing must always be ke
pt clean. Soiled belt webbing may
impair proper operation of the inertia reel
⇒page 217, “Seat belts”.
•
The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked by paper or similar
objects otherwise the belt tongue will not lock in place properly.•
Inspect the seat belts regu
larly to ensure they are
in good condition. If
you find seat belts which have damage to the seat belt webbing, seat belt connections, to the inertia reels or to the lock, the relevant safety belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.•
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not make
an attempt to repair the seat belts yourself.•
Damaged seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident
and were therefore stretched, must be replaced - this is best done by a specialist garage. The anchorage points
of the belts must also be inspected.
The anchorage points for the be
lts should also be checked.
•
In certain countries it is possible to use seat belts which differ in terms of
their operation from the seat belts wh
ich are described on the pages which
follow.
How are seat belts correctly fastened?Fastening three-point seat belts Fasten your seat belt before starting!– Correctly adjust the front seat and
