Automatic gearbox DSG*Automatic gearbox DSG*IntroductionYour car is equipped with an automatic
gearbox DSG. The abbreviation DSG means
Direct shift gearbox (Direct shift gearbox). Two independent clutches are needed for the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. These replace the torque converter of the conventional automatic gearbox. Their shifting is matched in such a
way that there are no jerks when shifting
the gear and the power transmission of the engine to the front wheels is not interrupted.Information for driving with the automatic gearbox DSG Shifting up and down through the gears is performed automatically.You can also, however, switch the gearbox over into the
Tiptronic mode
. This mode
makes it possible for you to also shift gears manually
⇒page 124.
Starting-off and Driving– Depress the brake pedal fully and keep it depressed. – Press the Shiftlock button (button in ha
ndle of the selector lever), move the
selector lever into the
desired position, e.g.
D ⇒page 122, and then release the
Shiftlock button.
– Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator
⇒
.
Stopping for a short time– The selector lever position
N does not have to be selected when stopping just for
a short time, such as at a cross roads. It
is sufficient to hold
the vehicle stationary
using the foot brake. The engine can, however, be allowed just to idle.
Parking– Depress the brake pedal and hold it depressed.
– Apply the handbrake firmly. – Press and Shiftlock button in the selector lever, move the selector lever to
P and
then release the Shiftlock button.
The engine can only be
started
when the selector lever is in position
P or N
⇒ page 110. At temperatures below -10 °C the engine can only be started in the selector lever position
P.
It is sufficient to engage selector lever position
P when parking on a flat surface. When
parking on a slope you should first apply
the handbrake firmly and then move the
selector lever into position
P. This is to ensure that there is no excessive pressure acting
on the lock mechanism and that it is easier to subsequently move the selector lever out of position
P.
If the selector lever position
N is selected by accident while driving it is first necessary
to release pressure on the accelerator pedal and wait for idling speed of the engine to be reached before engaging a driv
e position in the selector lever.
WARNING
•
Do not depress the accelerator when changing the position of the selector
lever if the car is stationary and the engine is running - risk of accident!•
Never move the selector lever into position R or P when driving - risk of an
accident!•
If you are stopping at a hill (downhill section), never try to hold the car
stationary with the gear engaged by mean
s of the “accelerator”, this means by
letting the clutch slip. This can lead to ov
erheating of the clutch
. If there is a risk
of overheating of the clutch due to overlo
ad, the clutch is op
ened automatically
and the vehicle rolls backward - risk of accident!•
If yo u m us t s to p a t a sl ope , d e pre s s a nd ho ld t he b ra ke pe d a l , s o t ha t y ou c a n
prevent the vehicle from rolling back.

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 38
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. 123 Selector lever / informatio

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 124 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

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 driv
e position is engaged when the car is
stationary. The vehicle would otherwise
immediately start of
f - also when the
handbrake is firmly applied - risk of an accident!•
You must move the selector lever into position P and firmly apply the hand-
brake first before you or any other person opens the bonnet and starts working on the engine when it is running - risk of
accident! It is also essential to observe
all warnings
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Selector lever lockAutomatic selector lever lock

With the ignition on, the selector lever is locked when it is in the positions
P and
N. You
must first of all depress the brake pedal in or
der to move the selector lever out of this
position. The warning light
 ⇒page 35 lights up in the instrument cluster as a
reminder for the driver when the selector lever is in position
P and
N.
A time delay element ensures that the selector lever is not blocked when rapidly switching over the position
N (e.g. from
R to D). This does, for example, allow one to
seesaw out a stuck vehicle. The selector lever lo
ck 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 swit
ched off automatically into position
N when the
car is travelling at a higher speed. Shiftlock button The Shiftlock button in the hand
le of selector lever prevents certain selector lever posi-
tions being engaged inadvertently. The selector lever lock is cancelled when you press the Shiftlock button.
Keylock - Ignition key withdrawal lock You can only withdraw the ignition key after
switching off the ignition if the selector
lever is in position
P. If the ignition key is withdrawn,
the selector lever is blocked in
position
P.
Kickdown function The kickdown function provides you with maximum acceleration power.Fully depressing the a
ccelerator pedal allows the kickdown function to be activated in
the desired driving program. This function has precedence over the driving programme and serves for maximum accelerati
on of the vehicle when exploiting the
maximum power potential of the engine wi
thout 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 en
gine has reached its maximum revolutions for
this gear range.
WARNING
Please note that using the kickdown f
unction can result in the driven wheels
spinning on a smooth or slippery road surface - risk of skidding!Dynamic shift programmeThe 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 po
ssible will have a favourable effect on your fuel consump-
tion. Adopting a
sporty style of driving
with rapid movements of the accelerator pedal
combined with sharp acceleration and freque
nt changes in speed, exploiting the top
speed of the car or depressing the accele
rator pedal (kickdown function), will cause

Mobile phones and tw
o-way radio systems
The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be carried out by a specialist garage. Mobile phones send and receive radio wave
s during a conversation as well as in
standby mode. Radio waves can be harmful
to the human body if their frequency
exceeds certain limit values. 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 yourself at
a specialist garage about the possibilites to
assemble and operate systems
which have a power output of more than 10 W. They
will inform you which technical possibilit
ies 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 exte
rnal aerial or an extern
al 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 telephone preinstallation GSM ll is a complete and built-in “handsfree-system”, it provides a voice operated convenience mode via the multifunction steering wheel* or the touchscreen of the radio*
or the navigation system*.
All communication between a telephone and
the handsfree-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. A phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph
one preinstallation with voice control. In
the phone phonebook there are 1 500 free me
mory locations available. This phone
phonebook is independent of the a
ppliance used for the mobile phone.
If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready
”, please check
the operating state of the telephone as follows:
a)Only valid for the navigation system Columbus.
