one to seesaw out a stuck vehicle. The sele ctor 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 the vehicle is stationary or moving at speed of less than 5 km/hour. The lock is switched off automatically into posi- tion N when the car is travelling at a higher speed.
Shiftlock button
The Shiftlock button in the handle of selector lever prevents certain selector lever positions being engaged inadvertently. The selector lever lock is cancelled when you press the Shiftlock button.
Kickdown function
The kickdown function provides you with maximum accelera-
tion power.
Depressing the accelerator pedal allows th e kickdown function to be activated in the desired driving program. This function has precedence over the driving programme and serves for maximum a cceleration of the vehicle when exploiting the maximum power potential of the engine without taking into account the current selector lever position ( D, S or Tiptronic). The gearbox shifts down to one or several gears in line with the driving state and the vehicle accelerates. The gearbox does not shift up into the highest gear until the engine has reached its maximum revolutions for this gear range.
WARNING
Please note that using the kickdown function can result in the driven wheels spinning on a smooth or slippery road surface - risk of skidding!
Dynamic shift programme
The automatic gearbox of your vehicle is controlled electronically. Shifting up and down through the gears is performe d 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 favourable effect on your fuel consumption.
Adopting a sporty style of driving with rapid movements of the accelerator pedal combined with sharp accelerati on and frequent changes in speed, exploiting the top speed of the car or depressing the accelerator pedal (kick- down function), will cause the gearbox to sw itch 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 sh ift programme by depressing the accel- erator 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 fu lly into the kickdown range. The orig- inal programme will be reactivated to ma tch 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 down- hill sections. This avoids the gearbox fr equently shifting up and 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.

It is possible to continue to move the selector lever into all the positions. In the positions D and S the gearbox remains engaged in the 3rd gear. It is also possible to continue to engage reverse gear in the position R.
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.

•It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
•During the dialogue avoid additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultane- ously talking occupants.
•Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•The microphone for voice control is directed to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equip- ment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for the traffic safety. Use the telephone system only to such an extent, so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapte r during the call can lead to interrup- tion of the connection. When taking ou t the mobile phone, the connection to the factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the trans- mitting and receiving signal. This might result additionally in harmful radiation from the mobile phone in the interior of the vehicle and the charging of the tele-phone battery is interrupted.
Note
•Please also refer to the additional instructions ⇒page 129, “Mobile phones and two-way radio systems”.
•Please contact your Škoda Service Part ner if there are any points which are not clear.
•The voice control of the telephone is only possible for adapters with PTT button. Suitable adapters are available at a Škoda Service Partner.

with the hands-free system . If a fifth mobile phone is connected to the hands- free-system, then the telephone, which has been used together with the hands- free system for the shortest period, is disconnected.
Establishing the Bluetooth connection
After switching on the ignition, the Bluetooth connection is automatically established for the already adapted mobile phone 3). You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
Disconnecting the Bluetooth connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth connection is disonnected. You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for the traffic safety . Use the telephone system only to such an extent, so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time - risk of accident!
•In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth function of the handsfree-system must be switched off by a specialist garage.

Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup- tion of the connection. When taking ou t the mobile phone, the connection to the factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the trans- mitting and receiving signal. This might result additionally in harmful radiation from the mobile phone in the interior of the vehicle and the charging of the tele- phone battery is interrupted.
Note
•Not valid for all mobile phones whic h enable a communication via Blue- tooth.
•Please operate your mobile phone excl usively with a suitable adapter, in order to keep a low radiation in the vehicle.
•Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal sending and receiving power and offers at the sa me time the advantage of the battery charging.
•If you insert the mobile telephone into the adapter, the connection is estab- lished via the interface in the adapte r set and the Bluetooth connection is disconnected. You can hear an increa sing tone sequence from the loud- speakers of the vehicle.
•Note that the range of the Bluetooth connection to the handsfree-system is limited to the vehicle interior. The rang e is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles between the devices and interferences with other devices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a jacket pocket, th is can lead to difficulties when estab- lishing the Bluetooth connection with the handsfree-system or the data transfer.
•If you have set the Portugue se language in the information display, it is used automatically for the mobile phone operation, as this is the language, which was entered during coding of the handsfree-system.
Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
We recommend that you have the installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle carried out by a Škoda Service Partner.
Škoda Auto a.s. permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmis- sion power of up to 10 watts.
Our Škoda Service Partners are also happy to inform you about the possibilities available for installing and operating mobile telephones and radio transmitters which have an output greater than 10 watts. The Škoda Service Partners can provide you with details about the technical possibilities for retrofitting of mobile telephones and radio transmitters.
