Caution
The double clutch on the automatic gear box DSG is equipped with an overload 
protection. If you make use of  the uphill function on a vehicle which is stationary or 
driving slowly uphill, it will result in an  increase of thermal stress of the clutches.
In the event that they overheat, the warning light 
 and a warning text page 37 
appear in the information display*. In such a case bring the vehicle to a stop, switch off 
the engine and wait until the warning light  and the warning go out - risk of gearbox 
damage! You can continue the trip as soon as the warning light and the warning go 
out.
Selector lever positionsFig. 115  Selector lever / informatio n display: Selector lever positionsThe current selector lever position is indica ted in the information display of the instru-
ment cluster  fig. 115  - right. In the positions  D and  S the gear you have already 
engaged will be additionally displayed on the display.
 - Parklock
The driven wheels are locked me chanically in this position.
The Parklock must only be engaged when the vehicle is stationary  .
If you wish to move the selector lever into  or out of this position, you must press the 
Shiftlock button in the handle of the selector lever and at the same time depress the 
brake pedal.
If the battery is used, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the position  P.  - Reverse gear
Reverse gear must only be engaged when  the vehicle is stationary and the engine 
idling   .
The brake pedal must be depressed and at the same time the Shiftlock must be 
pressed, if you wish to obtain the selector lever positions  R, P  or  N.
When the ignition is switched on an d the selector lever is in position R, the reverse 
lights will come on.
 - Neutral
The transmission is in Neutral in this position.
The brake pedal must be depressed (if the le ver is in its position for longer than 2 
seconds) in order to move the se lector lever out of the position N into the position  D 
or  R, with the ignition switched on, on a vehicle travelling at less than 5 km/hour or on 
a stationary vehicle.
 - 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 th an 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  page 123 for a 
short time in order to adapt the gearbox  ratios manually to the driving situations.
 - 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 posi-
tion  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.AP

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. 116  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. 116  - 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. 116  - 
left.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.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.

WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! 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 refer to the following guidelines 
page 128.
Should you have any questions, please  contact an authorised Škoda Service 
Par tner.
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 exceeds 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 procedure, 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_BT) on the display of the 
mobile phone, enter the PIN (as standard  1234) within 30 seconds and wait until 
the connection is established.
10)
– 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 igniti on, 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.
10)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which th e 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-establishing the Bluetooth connection.

WARNING
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match 
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be 
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your 
occupants.
The driver must maintain a distance of  at least 25 cm to the steering wheel 
 page 138, fig. 123 . Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that 
the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
When driving, hold the st eering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer 
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock po sition. Never hold the steering wheel 
firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle of the 
steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel  edge). In such cases, injuries to the 
arms, the hands and the head can occur  when the driver airbag is deployed.
The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise 
this will affect proper operation of the se at belts and of the airbag system - risk 
of injury!
Ensure that there are no objects in  the footwell as any objects may get 
behind the pedals during a driving or  braking manoeuvre. You would then no 
longer be able to operate the  clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Correct seated position for the front passenger
The  fro n t p assen ger  must  mai n tai n  a d i stan ce  of a t l ea st 25 c m from  th e 
dash panel so that the airbag offers him the greatest possible safety it is 
deployed.For the safety of the front passenger and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an 
accident, we recommend  the following setting.
Adjust the front passenger seat as  far as possible to the rear.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same 
level as the upper part of your head  page 138, fig. 123  - right.
Fasten the seat belt correctly  page 143, “How are seat belts correctly fastened?”.
In exceptional cases the front pass enger airbag can be deactivated page 154, 
“Deactivating an airbag”. Manual front passenger adjustment 
page 12, “Adjusting the front seats”.
Electrical front passenger seat adjustment  page 70, “Adjusting front seats electri-
cally*”.
WARNING
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match 
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be 
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your 
occupants.
The front passenger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash 
panel. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag 
system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
Always keep your feet in the footwel l when the vehicle is being driven - 
never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the 
surfaces of the seats. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes 
necessary to apply the brake or in the ev ent of an accident. If an airbag is 
deployed, you may suffer fatal injuries wh en adopting an incorrect seated posi-
tion!
The seat backrests must not be angled  too far back when driving otherwise 
this will affect proper operation of the se at belts and of the airbag system - risk 
of injury!
Correct seated position for the occupants on the rear seats
Occupants on the rear seats must sit upright, keep the feet in the foot-
well and must have their se at belts correctly fastened.To reduce the risk of injury in the event of  a sudden braking manoeuvre or an accident, 
the occupants on the rear seats must observe the following:
Adjust the head restraints so that the top edge of the head restraints is at the same 
level as the upper part of your head  page 138, fig. 123 .
