Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing a speed 64
Changing a stored speed 64
Switching off the cruise control system temporarily 64
Switching off the cruise control system completely 65
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h
(20
mph), once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator
pedal. This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power out-
put and braking power of the engine.
The warning light  illuminates in the instrument cluster when the cruise control
system is activated. WARNING
■ For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) – risk of accident! ■ The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
traffic conditions. ■ Always switch off the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
tional use of the system. £

Starting-off and Driving

CAUTION
■ Always depress the clutch pedal if switching to the neutral position (vehicle
with a manual gearbox) when the cruise control system is switched on! Otherwise
the engine can rev up unintentionally.
■ The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving
in areas with steeper gradients. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at
which it travels. Therefore, shift to a lower gear in good time or slow the vehicle
down by applying the foot brake. Note
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the
cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position N or R.ÐStoring a speed

Starting-off and Driving

WARNING
■ The brake servo unit and power steering only operate if the engine is run-
ning.
■ Never let the vehicle roll with the engine switched off. CAUTION
If the START-STOP system is used at very high outside temperatures over a very
long period of time, the vehicle battery can be damaged. Note
■ Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal temper-
ature of the vehicle battery even after several hours. If the vehicle remains out-
doors for a long time in minus temperatures or in direct sunlight, it can take sev-
eral hours until the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable
temperature for proper operation of the
START STOP system.
■ In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the ig-
nition key (e.g. when the seat belt is not inserted or the driver's door is opened in
Stop mode for more than approx. 30 seconds). ÐCity Safe Drive

Introduction Fig. 70
Laser sensor/detection range This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching the

City Safe Drive on and off 67
Laser sensor 68
Special driving situations 68
The City Safe Drive system uses the laser sensor » Fig. 70 –  to take readings
about the traffic situation in front of the vehicle at a range of around 10 metres (11
yards) » Fig. 70 –  in a vehicle speed range of 5 - -30

km/h (3 - -19 mph).
If the driver does not respond to an imminent collision, the City Safe Drive system
can automatically apply the brakes to the vehicle to prevent a possible collision.
If the City Safe Drive system is currently slowing the vehicle down automatically,
the warning light will flash  quickly .
Automatic braking interventions can be terminated by pressing the clutch, accel-
erator or by moving the steering wheel.
If the City Safe Drive system is not currently available, or if there is a system fault,
the warning light will flash  slowly .
The following conditions cause the City Safe Drive system to become not availa-
ble.
› Taking bends tightly.
› When fully pressing down the accelerator pedal.
› When the City Safe Drive system function is switched off/faulty.
› When the laser sensor is dirty, concealed or has overheated.
» page 68
› In the event of snow, heavy rain or fog.
› When vehicles are travelling side by side.
› When vehicles are crossing.
› When vehicles are approaching in the same lane.
› When the vehicles are very dirty and have a low level of reflection.
› With high levels of dust. WARNING
■ The
City Safe Drive system cannot exceed physical and system-defined lim-
its. The added convenience of the City Safe Drive system must never give you
a reason to takes risks with regard safety. The driver is always the one re-
sponsible for braking in time.
■ The City Safe Drive system cannot prevent accidents and injuries by itself. £
66 Using the system

WARNING (Continued)
■ The City Safe Drive system can carry out unexpected braking interventions
in complex driving situations, e.g. when vehicles scrape past each other.
■ Taking the City Safe Drive system into account in one's own driving behav-
iour can lead to accidents and serious injuries. The
City Safe Drive system is
not a substitute for the driver's attention. ■ Always adapt your speed and safety distance to the vehicle ahead to the
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
■ The laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries.
■ Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass to
look into the laser sensor.
■ The laser beam can also be active when the City Safe Drive system is
switched off or is not available. The laser beam is not visible to the human
eye.
■ The City Safe Drive system cannot detect persons, animals, or crossing vehi-
cles or approaching vehicles in the same lane.
■ The City Safe Drive system cannot exceed physical and system-defined lim-
its. For instance, responses from the
City Save Drive system can happen late
or unexpectedly from the driver's perspective. Always stay attentive and take
control when required. CAUTION
If the vehicle starts to roll after the City Safe Drive system is triggered, use the
foot pedal to break. Note
■ When replacing the windscreen wiper blades, only use windscreen blades ap-
proved by ŠKODA. ■ Do not paint the laser sensor range on the windscreen. Do not cover it up with
stickers or similar. ■ Remove any snow with a hand-held brush and we recommend you remove any
ice with a solvent-free deicing spray. ■ Keep the laser sensor range free of dirt and ice at all times.
■ If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc, replace
the windscreen. Only use windscreens approved by
ŠKODA. Carrying out repairs
to the windscreen are not permissible. ■
A damaged windscreen in the area of the laser sensor can lead to a failure of
the City Safe Drive

system.
■ Repairing the laser sensor requires specialist expertise. We recommend an au-
thorised
ŠKODA Service partner. Ð Switching the City Safe Drive on and off

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 66.
The following and similar situations require special attention of the driver:
Driving around a bend
When driving into or out of

“protracted” bends, it is possible for the laser sensor
to respond to a vehicle in the adjacent lane » Fig. 72 -  causing it to apply the
brakes to your vehicle.
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side are not detected by the laser
sensor until they are in the range of the sensor » Fig. 72 - . This is especially
true for narrow vehicles, such as motorcycles.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles which move into your lane close to your vehicle can trigger an unexpec-
ted braking of the City Save Drive system » Fig. 73 .Ð ä

Selector lever positions 70
Manual gearshift (Tiptronic) 70
Kickdown function 71
Dynamic shift programme 71
Operational faults 71
WARNING
■ Do not depress the accelerator if changing the position of the selector lever
when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running – risk of accident!
■ Never move the selector lever into position R or when driving - risk of an ac-
cident!
■ 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 (ex-
cept P and N) since the power transmission is never completely interrupted,
also not when the engine is idling – the vehicle creeps.
■ The selector lever must be placed into position N and the handbrake firmly
applied before the bonnet can be opened and work on the running engine can
be completed - risk of accident! The safety guidelines must always be ob-
served » page 108 , Engine compartment .
■ If stopping on a hill (downhill gradient), never try to maintain the vehicle sta-
tionary with the gear engaged by means of the
“accelerator pedal”, i.e. by let-
ting the clutch slip. This can lead to overheating of the clutch, and subse-
quently to the clutch burning out. The vehicle can roll backward - risk of acci-
dent!
■ If you have to stop on a slope, depress and hold the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling back.
■ On a smooth or slippery road surface using the kickdown function can cause
the driven wheels to spin – risk of skidding!
■ Always firmly apply the handbrake before leaving the vehicle! Ð Introductory information
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 69.
Shifting up and down through the gears is performed automatically. However, the
gearbox can also be switched into Tiptronic mode M. This mode makes it possible
for you to also shift gears manually » page 70.
The engine can only be left on in position N, when the brake pedal is depressed

.
When parking on a level road surface, it suffices to engage selector lever position
N. When parking on a slope, the handbrake should be applied firmly before the
park position N is selected.
If the selector lever position N is accidentally selected while driving, it is first nec-
essary to release pressure on the accelerator pedal and wait for the idling speed
of the engine to be reached before the selector lever can be engaged in the drive
position. Note
If the N symbol flashes next to the selector lever, engage the selector lever posi-
tion N. Ð Starting-off and driving
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 69.

›
Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal.
› Press the selector lever towards the left in the spring-tensioned position in the
direction of the arrow » Fig. 74 on page 70 and insert into position D.
› Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
Stop
› The selector lever position
N does not have to be selected when stopping 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.
