Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
The reversing lights come on when the selector lever is moved into posi-
tion
R when the ignition is also on.
N - Neutral
The transmission is in Neutral in this position.
The brake pedal must be depressed (if the lever is in its position for longer
than 2 seconds) in order to move the selector lever out of the position N
into another position, with the ignition switched on, on a vehicle 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 (DSP).
You must depress the brake pedal ⇒ if you wish to move the selector
lever 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 ⇒page 135 for a short time in order to adapt the gearbox
ratios manually to the driving situations.
4 - Position when driving in hilly areas
We recommend this position if driving with the selector lever in position D
would, in certain circumstances, result in the gearbox frequently shifting
between fourth and fifth gears.
The gearbox then shifts up and down automatically into the first, second,
third and fourth gears in line with engine load and vehicle speed. Fifth gear
is not engaged in this case. This makes it possible to exploit greater
engine braking power when the accelerator is released ⇒.
The Shiftlock on the selector lever grip must be pressed when moving out
of position 4 into position D. 3 - Position when drivin
g in mountainous regions
This position of the selector lever is suitable for long sloping sections.
The gearbox shifts up and down automatically into first, second and third
gear in line with engine load and vehicle speed. The fourth and fifth gears
remain locked out in order to avoid unnecessary gear changes. Enhanced
engine braking power is thus available.
The Shiftlock on the selector lever grip must not be pressed when moving
out of position 3 into position 4.
2 - Position for extreme mountainous sections
This position of selector lever is suitable for very steep downhill sections.
The gearbox shifts up and down automatically into first and second gear
in line with engine load and vehicle speed. Third, fourth and fifth gears are
not engaged. This position offers you the maximum possible engine
braking power.
The Shiftlock on the selector lever grip must be pressed when moving out
of position 3 into position 2.
The cruise control system is locked in position 2.
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 interrupted, 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 otherwise

Dynamic shift programme
The automatic gearbox of your vehicle is controlled electronically. Shifting
up and down through the gears is performed automatically on the basis of
pre-defined driving programmes.
Adopting a moderate style of driving will cause the gearbox to select the
most economical driving programme. Shifting up into a higher gear as
soon as possible and shifting down as late as possible will have a favour-
able effect on your fuel consumption.
Adopting a faster style of driving with rapid movements of the acceler-
ator pedal combined with sharp acceleration and frequent changes in
speed, exploiting the top speed of the car or operating the kickdown func-
tion, will cause the gearbox to switch over to the sporty driving
programme. Shifting up later into a higher gear makes it possible to fully
exploit the power reserves of the engine. The gearbox also then shifts
down at higher engine speeds than is the case for the economy-oriented
programmes.
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 into a sporty driving programme by depressing the
accelerator rapidly. The gearbox shifts down into a lower gear matching
the 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 style 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 and down
when negotiating an uphill stretch. Depressing the brake pedal while
driving downhill causes the gearbox to shift down into the next lower gear.
This makes it possible for you to exploit the engine braking power without
the need for shifting gears manually.
Tiptronic
The Tiptronic allows the driver to also shift gears manually.

Multifunction steering wheel*
Introduction
The assignment of the pushbuttons in the steering wheel may differ
depending on the vehicle equipment.
The buttons , , and ⇒fig. 124 make it possible to operate the
main functions of the cruise control system, of the radio and mobile phone.
Refer to the more detailed information in the relevant operating instruc-
tions.
When the headlights are switched on, the steering wheel pushbuttons are
then also illuminated.
Operating cruise control system
The cruise control system is operated with the buttons and , but on version which is also fitted with mobile phone only by
button ⇒fig. 124 .
Switching on and off
– The cruise control system is switched on by sliding the switch
⇒ page 128 into the ON position.
– The cruise control system is switched off by sliding the switch
fully to the right into the OFF position.
Storing a speed
– Switch the cruise control system on.
– After the car has reached the desired speed, briefly press the button ⇒fig. 124 in the position SET-. The car maintains
the stored speed without you having to depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
Changing a stored speed
– You can reduce the stored speed by pressing the button
⇒ fig. 124 in the position SET-. If you press and hold the
button, the speed of the car is reduced continuously. Once the
car has reached the desired speed, release the button. The
set speed is then stored in the memory.

Tips for operating the CD-changer and CD-player
Please pay attention to the following notes for operating the CD-
changer and the CD-player.
•Only clean CDs without scratches and damages should be used, in
order to guarantee a proper, high-quality CD-playback.
•Affix no labels to the CDs.
•Always store non-used CDs in the CD-storage from the Škoda
genuine accessories provided for this as well as in the original folding box.
•Never expose CDs to direct sun rays.
•Use a soft, non-fluffy cloth to clean the CDs. Wipe the CD straight-lined
from the middle to the outside. Strong dirt must be eliminated with usual
CD-cleaner.
•Please never use liquids such as gasoline, paint thinner or disk
cleaner, otherwise the surface of the CD could get damaged.
