
Only the front parking aid operates if yo u are towing a trailer (applies only to
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).

If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seco nds after activating the system and there
is no obstacle close to your vehicle, this indicates a system fault. The fault is confirmed
additionally when the symbol
 flashes in the button page 129, fig. 132 . 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 sele ctor 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 parking in a suitable parallel parking space between
two vehicles or behind a vehicle.
The park assist automatically searches for suitable parking spaces after switching on
the ignition and when driving up to 30 km/h.
During the parking procedure the park assist only takes over the steering movements,
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 vehicle drives backwards into the parking space

Actuation of the steering force assistance, automatic spinning of the wheels of the
front axle when parking.
WARNING
The park assist does not take away th e responsability from the driver when
parking.
Pay particular attention to small children and animals as they would not be
recognised by the sensors of the parking aid.

Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the park assist or the 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
v ehicl e 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 parking th at 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..., ca nnot 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 no n-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 resultin g position of the vehicle in the parking
space can differ slightly. This can be avoide d through new calibration of the system in
a specialist garage.

The accuracy of the evaluation for the parking space 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.

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 th e 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 styl e 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 an d 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.Fig. 138 Selector lever: manual shifting / information display: manual shiftingThe selector lever position you have engaged is indicated in the information display of
the instrument cluster together with the engaged gear fig. 138 - right.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.
Shifting up gears– One-touch forward of the selector lever (in the Tiptronic position) fig. 138 .Shifting down gears– One-touch back of the selector lever (in the Tiptronic position) .
It is possible to switch over to manual bo th when the car is stationary and also when
driving.
When you accelerate, the gearbox shifts up automatically into the higher gear just
before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached.
If you select a lower gear, the automatic gear box does not shift down until there is no
risk of the engine overrevving.
If you operate the kickdown function, the gear box shifts into a lower gear in line with
the vehicle speed and engine speed.Manual shifting on the multifunction steering wheel*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.Shifting up gears– Press the right rocker switch fig. 139 for the multifunction steering wheel.

An emergency programme exists in th e 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 have 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 switch ed over to emergency mode, drive to the nearest
specialist garage in order to have the fault rectified.

Note

The loudspeakers in the vehicle are matched to a power output of the radio and
navigation system of 4x 20°W.

For the equipment sound system*, the loudspeakers are matched to a power
output of the amplifier of 4x40°W + 6x20 W.
Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be
carried out by a specialist garage.
Škoda Auto permits the operation of mobile 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 retrofitting
mobile phones.
When using a mobille phone inside the vehicl e, which is not inserted into the phone
adapter, and thus has no connection to the external aerial, the electromagnetic radia-
tion can exceed the current limit value. We therefore recommend to operate a mobile
phone in the vehicle only when it is conne cted to an external aerial via the phone
adapter. This improves the quality of the connection.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way ra dio systems may interfere with functioning
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.
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 aerial 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 accident.

Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuver, an accident
or a collision. In this case, the occupants of the vehicle might be injured.Note
Observe the country-specific regulations for the use of mobile phones in vehicles.Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*IntroductionThe universal telephone preinstallation GSM II is a built-in “hands-free system”, it
provides a voice operated convenience mode via the multifunction steering wheel* or
the navigation system*.
All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehicle
can only be established with the help of the Bluetooth
® technology. The adapter*
serves only for charging the telephone and fo r transmitting the signal to the external
aerial of the vehicle.
To ensure an optimum signal transmission, always leave the telephone with the
adapter* in the telephone mount.

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.
Connection of the mobile phone with the hands-free systemIn order to connect a mobile phone with th e hands-free system, it is necessary to
connect the telephone to the hands-free sy stem. Detailed information on this is
provided in the operating instructions of your mobile phone. The following steps must
be carried out for the connection:
– Activate the Bluetooth
® in your telephone and the visibility of the mobile phone.
– Switch on the ignition.
– Select the menu Phone - Phone search in the information display and wait until
the control unit has ended the search.
– Select your mobile phone in the menu of the units found.
–Confirm the PIN (as standard 1234).
– If the hands-free system announces (as standard Skoda UHV) on the display of the
mobile phone, enter the PIN (as standard 1234) within 30 seconds and wait until
the connection is established.
11)
– After ending the connection, confirm in the information display that a new user profile was created.
If no more free space is available for creating a new user profile, delete an existing user
profile.
If you have not managed to connect your mobile phone with the hands-free system
within 3 minutes after switching on the ignition, switch the ignition off and then again
on. The visibility of the hands-free system is established again for 3 minutes. The visi-
bility of the Bluetooth
® device is automatically switched off if the vehicle starts off or
if the mobile phone connects to the device.
During the connecting procedure, no other mobile phone may be connected with the
hands-free system.
Up to four mobile phones ca n be paired to the hands-free system, whereby only one
mobile phone can communicate with the hands-free system.
11)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a Bluetooth
®
connection is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the authorization is necessary, it
must always be performed when re-e stablishing the Bluetooth connection.
