Diesel particle filter (diesel)
Read and observe
on page 31 first.
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a
regular basis.
illuminates – the filter is clogged with soot.
To clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, drive as follows for
at least 15 minutes or until the indicator light
goes out.
4. or 5. gear engaged (automatic gearbox: S position).
Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
Engine speed between 1800-2500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning light extinguishes.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light does not go out and
the warning light begins to flash.
▶ Continued driving is possible with appropriate caution. Seek assistance from
a specialist garage immediately.
WARNING■ Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or the like.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.35Instruments and Indicator Lights

The automatic transmission performs an automatic gear change irrespective of
the engine load, the operation of the accelerator, the vehicle speed and the
selected driving mode.
The modes of the automatic transmission can be adjusted by the driver by
means of the selector lever.
WARNING■ Do not accelerate when selecting drive mode prior to moving off - There
is a risk of an accident!■
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – There is a
risk of an accident!
WARNING (Continued)■ If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S , R or Tiptronic mode,
the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by means of the brake
pedal or the parking brake. Even when the engine is idling, the power
transmission is never completely interrupted – the vehicle creeps.■
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P. Oth-
erwise, the vehicle could be set in motion - risk of accident!
CAUTION
If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S whilst
driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.

When the ignition is switched on, the gearbox mode and the currently selected
gear are indicated in the display » Fig. 127.
Parking - the position can be set only when the vehicle is at a standstill
The drive wheels are mechanically locked.
Reverse gear - the position can only be selected when the vehicle is sta-
tionary and the engine is idling
Neutral (idle position) - power transmission to the drive wheels is inter-
rupted

Driving forwards - In mode D, the forward gears are automatically
changed according to the engine load, accelerator pedal actuation and
driving speed
Sports mode - the gear change takes place in the position S at higher en-
gine speeds than in mode D
Before changing to mode S from mode D, press the lock button in the di-
rection of arrow 1
» Fig. 128 on page 107 .
Selector lever lock
Fig. 128
Shift lock button
Read and observe and on page 106 first.
The selector lever is locked in mode P and N to prevent that the forward driv-
ing is selected accidentally, thereby setting the vehicle in motion.
The selector lever is locked only when the vehicle is stationary and at speeds
up to 5 km/h.
The selector lever lock is indicated by the illumination of the warning light .
Releasing selector lever from mode P or N (selector lever lock)
›
Press the brake pedal and the lock button at the same time in the direction
of
1
» Fig. 128 .
To move the selector lever from mode N to D only the brake pedal must be
pressed.
The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked » page 166.
DSNoteTo switch the selector lever from mode P to mode D/S or vice versa, move the
selector lever quickly. This prevents that you accidentally select mode R or N.
Manual shifting (Tiptronic)
Fig. 129
Selector lever
Read and observe and on page 106 first.
Tiptronic mode makes it possible to manually shift gears on the selector lever.
This mode can be selected both while stopping and while driving.
Switching to manual shifting using the selector lever
›
Push the gear selector from position D towards the right, or left in a right-
hand drive vehicle. The current gear is maintained.
Gear changing
›
To change up , tap the selector lever forwards

» Fig. 129 .
›
To change down , tap the selector lever backwards
-
» Fig. 129.
The currently selected gear is indicated in the display » Fig. 127 on page 106 .
The gearshift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 39.
When accelerating, the gearbox automatically shifts up into the higher gear
just before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached. If a lower gear
is selected, the gearbox does not shift down until there is no risk of the engine
overrevving.
Note
It may be beneficial, for example, when travelling downhill, to use manual
shifting of gears. Shifting to a lower gear reduces the load on the brakes and
hence the wear of the brakes.107Starting-off and Driving
