Technical Data
Starting the engineGeneral You can only start the engine only using an original ignition key.•
Place the gearshift lever into neutral (or place the selector lever to the position
P or N in the case of an automatic gearbox)
and put on the handbrake firmly before
starting the engine.•
The clutch pedal should be fully depressed when starting the engine which
means that the starter only
has to crank the engine.
•
Let go of the key as soon as the engine starts otherwise there may be damage
to the starter. The engine running noises may louder at
first be louder for
a short time after
starting the cold engine until oil pressure
can be built up in the hydraulic valve
clearance compensation. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem. If the engine does not start ... You can use the battery of anothe
r vehicle as a jump-start aid
⇒page 250.
It is only possible to tow-start vehicl
es fitted with a manual gearbox. The tow-
starting distance must not be more than 50 metres.
WARNING
•
Never run the engine in non ventilat
ed or enclosed areas. The exhaust
gases of the engine contain besides
the odorless and colourless carbon
monoxide a poisonous gas - hazard! Carbon monoxide can cause uncon- sciousness and death.•
Never leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.Caution
•
The starter may only be operated (ignition key position ), if the engine is not
running. If the starter is immediately oper
ated after switching off the engine, the
starter or the engine can be damaged.
•
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttl
e and high engine loads as long as the
engine has not yet reached it
s normal operating temperature - risk of damaging the
engine!•
Vehicles which are fitted wi
th an exhaust gas catalyti
c converter should not be
tow-started over a distance of more than 50 metres.
For the sake of the environment
Never warm up the engine when the vehi
cle is standing. Drive off right away.
Through this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.Petrol enginesThese engines are fitted with a starter system which selects the correct fuel/air mixture for every external air temperature.•
Do not operate accelerator before and when starting engine.
•
Interrupt the attempt at starting after
10 seconds if the engine does not start
right awayand wait for about 30 se
conds before repeating the attempt.
•
It is possible that the fuse on the electric
al fuel pump is defect if the engine still
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary
⇒page 256.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
It may be necessary, if the engine is
very hot
, to slightly depress the accelerator
after the engine has started.Diesel enginesGlow plug system Diesel engines are equipped with a glow
plug system, the preglow period being
controlled automatically in
line with the coolant temperature and outside temper-
ature. The preglow indicator light
comes on after the ignition has been switched on.

You should not switch on any major elec
trical components during the heating
period otherwise the vehicle battery
will be drained unnecessarily.
•
You should start the engine immediately after the glow plug warning light
has gone out.•
The glow plug warning light will come on for about one second if the engine is
at a normal operating temperature or if the outside temperature is above +5°C. This means that you can start the engine
right away
.
•
Interrupt the attempt at starting after 10 seconds if the engine does not start
right awayand wait for about 30 se
conds before repeating the attempt.
•
It is possible that the fuse on the diesel
preglow system is defect if the engine
still does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary
⇒page 256.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
Starting the engine after the fuel tank has run dry It may take longer than normal to start the
engine after refuelling
if the fuel tank has
run completely dry - up to one minute. This is because the fuel system must first of all be filled while the attempting to start the engine.Switching off the engine– The engine can be swit
ched off by turning the ignition key from posi-
tion into
⇒
page 118, fig. 134
.
WARNING
•
Never switch off the engine before the
vehicle is stationary - risk of acci-
dent!•
The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater
physical effort for braking is required
when engine is switched off. Because
if you do not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.
Caution
you should not switch the engine off right
away at the end of your journey after the
engine has been operated for a lengthy peri
od at high loads but should be allowed
it to run at idling speed for about 2 minut
es. This prevents any accumulation of heat
when the engine is switched off.
Note
•
The radiator fan may continue running fo
r a further 10 minutes or so after the
engine and the ignition have
been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, also
switch on again after some time if the coolant temperature rises because of an accumulation of heat in the engine or
if the engine is warm and the engine
compartment is additionally
heated by strong sunlight.
•
This is why particular care is required when carrying out any work in the engine
compartment

Shift into reverse only when the car is stationary. Depress the clutch pedal and hold it fully depressed. Wait a moment before
engaging reverse gear in order to avoid
any shift noises. The reversing lights will come on once reve
rse gear is engaged, provided the igni-
tion is on. Superb GreenLine - Shift recommendation for changing gears On the model Superb GreenLine, the currently engaged gear
⇒fig. 136
is
shown in the display of the instrument cluster. In order to minimise the fuel consumptio
n, a recommendation for shifting into
another gear is indicated in the display. An arrow points up or down depending on whether it is recommended to shift to
a higher gear or to a lower gear. At the
same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently engaged gear .
WARNING
Never engage the reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!
Note
•
One should not lay the hand on the shift lever while driving the vehicle. The
pressure of the hand will be transferred to the gearshift forks in the gearbox. This can, over a period of time, lead to early wear of the gearshift forks.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing gears, in order to avoid unneces-
sary wear and damage to the clutch and gearbox parts.HandbrakeApplying the handbrake – Pull the handbrake lever up fully. Releasing the handbrake – Pull the handbrake lever up slightly

Activating The parking aid is activated when the
reverse gear
is engaged and the ignition is
turned on or by pressing the button
⇒page 123, fig. 139
- the symbol
lights up
in the button. The activation is confir
med by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating The parking aid is deactivated after pressing the button°
⇒page 123, fig. 139
or
at a speed of more than 10 km/h - the symbol
in the button is no longer illumi-
nated.
WARNING
•
The parking aid is not a substitute fo
r the driver paying proper attention
and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when reversing the vehicle or carrying ou
t similar manoeuvres.
•
You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no
small obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces
of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Note
•
Only the front parking aid operates if yo
u are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factor
y-fitted towing device*).
•
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after activating the system and
there is no obstacle close to your car, th
is indicates a system fault. The fault is
confirmed additionally when the symbol
flashes in the button
⇒page 123,
fig. 139
. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free
of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.
•
If the parking aid is activated and the se
lector lever of the automatic gearbox is
in the position , warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer move).Park Assist*Description and important informationThe park assist assists you when parkin
g in a suitable parallel parking place
between two vehicles or behind a vehicle. The park assist automatically searches fo
r suitable parking spaces after switching
on the ignition and when driving up to 30 km/h. During the parking procedure the park as
sist only takes over the steering move-
ments, the pedals continue to
be operated by the driver.
Function of the system is based on:•
Length and depth measurement of
the parking spaces when driving
•
Evaluation of the size
of the parking space
•
Definition of the correct position of the vehicle for parking
•
Calculating the line on which the vehi
cle drives backwards into the parking
place•
Actuation of the steering force assistan
ce, automatic spinning of the wheels of
the front axle when parking.
WARNING
The park assist does not take away the responsability from the driver when parking.•
Pay particular attention to small chil
dren and animals as they would not
be recognised by the se
nsors of the parking aid.
•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of th
e park assist or th
e parking aid. Thus,

these objects or people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.•
The external sound source of the park assist and the parking aid can be
disruptively influenced and under unfavourable conditions, objects or people cannot be recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.
Caution
•
If other vehicles are parked
behind or on the kurb, the park assist guides your
vehicle beyond the kurb or onto it. Make sure that the wheels or the wheel rims of your vehicle are not damaged and
if necessary intervene in time.
•
You should satisfy yourself before parkin
g that there is no small obstacle, such
as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in
front or behind your vehicle. Such an
obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.•
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as
wire mesh fences, powder snow etc...,
cannot be recognised by the system.
•
The evaluation of the parking place and the parking procedure depends on the
circumference of the wheels. The system does
not function correctly if your vehicle
is mounted with wheels of non-permissible size, snow chains or a temporary spare wheel (in order to reach the nearest workshop). If the tyres other than those excepted by the manufacturer are mounted,
the resulting position of the vehicle in
the parking place can differ slightly. This
can be avoided throug
h 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 you 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 th
e park assist when
towing a trailer.
•
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to
operate properly.Switch on display of the park assist in the information display*

•
The search for suitable parking places is automatic after switching on the igni-
tion at speeds of more than 30 km/h. Searching 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 found 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 parking space,
on the information display* appears the
information if this parking space is suitable for parking.

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 func
tion on a vehicle 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 de
tected by the flashing of the selector
level indicator and the “jerk” of the clut
ches, finally the clutches are opened. The
power transmission from the engine to the front wheels is interrupted and as a result of this the vehicle can no longer be
driven. If the clutch opens automatically,
depress the brake pedal, wait a few se
conds and only then continue driving.
Selector lever positions
The current selector lever position is indicated in the information display of the instrument cluster

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

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
