The availability of some of the functions described in this Owner's Manual depends on the type of device to be connected and the applications installed
in it.
Mobile phones
On the ŠKODApages, check to see if the device is compatible with the selected
mobile phones. This verification is done by reading the QR code » Fig. 90 by
the associated application in the external device (e.g. phone, tablet) or after
typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the large number of mobile phones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
the device unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check func-
tion on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, beforehand.
Only those versions of the selected phones will be tested and supported which
originate from the official distribution network. The same also applies to their
firmware and software.
The functions of the mobile phone to be tested may differ from the same type
of mobile phone depending on the specification for the respective country or
the specific service.
Mobile phones with the operating system and in the version available at the
time of these tests will be tested. In this regard, it could be the case that the
functions of a mobile phone may differ with a different operating system ver-
sion compared to the one used with the tested phone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by
the mobile phone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to the device or ve-
hicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or unau-
thorized use of mobile phones.
Applications
Due to the variety of applications and communication systems as well as their
ongoing development, the available applications may not work in all external
devices. ŠKODA AUTO can accept no liability for their proper function.
Applications, their use and the required data connection may be chargeable.
The range of available applications and their functionality is dependent on the
device, vehicle and region.
The function of mobile applications can be influenced by the quality of the In-
ternet connection.
Some applications are dependent on the availability of services that are provi-
ded by third parties.75Swing/ Blues Radio

■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop » page 99, Parking . Otherwise, the steering may lock -
danger of an accident!
■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - risk of acci-
dent, theft or similar.
■
Never (e.g. in garages) run the engine in a closed place - there is the dan-
ger of poisoning and death!
CAUTION
■ Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there
is a danger of starter and engine damage!■
Do not push-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine and the catalytic
converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid.
Note
Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start
your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this, the engine rea-
ches its operating temperature faster.Electronic immobiliser and steering lock
Read and observe
and on page 95 first.
The electronic immobiliser (hereinafter referred to as immobiliser) makes thetheft or unauthorised use of your vehicle more difficult.
Immobiliser
The immobiliser allows the engine to start provided an original vehicle key only
is used.
Malfunction of the immobiliser

Brakes and Parking
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Handbrake
98
Parking
99
The wear and tear on the brake pads is dependent on the operating condi-
tions and driving style. In difficult conditions (e.g. urban, sporty driving), the
condition of the brakes should be checked between services by a specialist ga-
rage.
Brake response can be slower if the brakes are covered in moisture or, in win-
ter, have a layer of ice or salt on them . The brakes should be cleaned and
dried by applying the brakes many times over »
.
Corrosion on the brake discs and dirt on the brake pads can occur if the vehicle
has been parked for a long period and if you do not make much use of the
braking system. The brakes are cleaned by applying the brakes several times
over »
.
Before negotiating a long or steep gradient , reduce speed and shift down a
gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will be used, reducing the
load on the brakes. If, nevertheless, there is a need for additional braking, it
should be carried out at intervals.
Emergency braking warning - If it is necessary to brake hard, the system may
cause the brake lights to automatically flash, to alert the traffic behind.
New brake pads must first be ““run in”” because these do not initially have the
best possible braking effect. Drive especially carefully for the first 200 km or
so.
If the brake fluid level is too low, it can cause faults in the braking system ;
the warning light will light up in the instrument cluster » page 32
,
 Braking
system . If the warning light does not light up, yet the stopping distance is per-
ceived to be longer than before, the driving style should be adapted in view of
the unknown cause of the problem, and braking kept to a minimum - seek the
help of a specialist garage without delay.
The brake booster increases the pressure generated with the brake pedal. The
brake booster only operates when the engine is running.
WARNING■ Greater physical effort is required for braking when the engine is switch-
ed off – risk of accident!■
When braking in a vehicle with manual transmission, when the vehicle is
in gear and at low revs, the clutch pedal must be depressed. Otherwise, the
functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of accident!
■
Do not depress the brake pedal, if there is no requirement to slow down.
This causes the brakes to overheat and can also result in a longer braking
distance and excessive wear - risk of accident!
■
Only brake for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake discs if the
traffic conditions permit this. Do not place any other road users in jeopardy.
■
Recommendations for new brake pads should be followed.
■
When stopping and parking, the parking brake should always be applied
firmly, otherwise the vehicle could move off - risk of accident!
■
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must
be ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced.
Otherwise, the front brakes could be in danger of overheating – risk of acci-
dent!
Handbrake
Fig. 120
Handbrake
Read and observe on page 98 first.
The handbrake secures the vehicle against unwanted movement when stop- ping and parking.
Apply
›
Pull the handbrake lever firmly upwards.
Loosening
›
Pull the handbrake lever up slightly and at the same time push in the locking
button » Fig. 120 . 
98Driving

›Move the lever right down while pressing the lock button.
The handbrake warning light 
lights up when the handbrake is applied, pro-
vided the ignition is on.
A warning signal sounds if the vehicle is inadvertently driven off with the
handbrake applied. The handbrake warning is activated if the vehicle is driven
at a speed of over 5 km/h for more than 3 seconds.WARNINGDisengage the handbrake completely. A handbrake which is only partially
disengaged can result in the rear brakes overheating. This can have a nega-
tive effect on the operation of the brake system – risk of accident!
Parking
Read and observe
on page 98 first.
When stopping and parking, look for a place with a suitable surface » .
Only carry out the activities while parking in the specified order.
›
Bring the vehicle to a stop and depress the brake pedal.
›
Firmly apply the handbrake.
›
For vehicles with automated gearbox shift the lever to position D or R.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
For vehicles with manual transmission , select 1st gear or Reverse gear R .
›
Release the brake pedal.
WARNING■
The parts of the exhaust system can become very hot. Therefore, never
stop the vehicle in places where the underside of your vehicle could come
into contact with flammable materials (e.g. dry grass, leaves, spilled fuel or
the like). - Risk of fire and serious injury can occur!■
When leaving the vehicle never leave people unattended in the car who
could, for example, lock the vehicle or release the brake - risk of accidents
and injury!

CAUTIONIf not in the process of changing gear, do not leave your hand on the gearshift
lever while driving. The pressure from the hand can cause the gearshift mech-
anism to wear excessively.
Pedals
The operation of the pedals must not be hindered under any circumstances!
Only a floor mat (ex-factory or from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range)
which can be secured to the attachment points should be used in the driver's
footwell.
WARNINGThere should be no objects in the driver's footwell, otherwise the pedal op-
eration can be impeded - risk of accident!
Automated transmission
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

The automatic transmission changes gears automatically based on how the
engine and accelerator are being worked, the vehicle speed and the selected
driving mode.
The automatic transmission modes are set by the driver by means of the selec-
tor lever.
WARNING■ Do not accelerate when selecting drive mode prior to moving off - risk of
accident!■
Never move the selector lever to mode R when driving – risk of accident!
■
Always firmly apply the handbrake before leaving the vehicle! Otherwise,
the vehicle could be automatically set in motion - there is a risk of acci-
dents!
CAUTIONWhen stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
Note
■ The engine can only be left on in position N, when the brake pedal is de-
pressed .■
If the selector lever position N is accidentally selected while driving, it is first
necessary 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.
■
If the N symbol flashes next to the selector lever, engage the selector lever
position N.
Select lever position

» Fig. 123 .
If in a short time, no manual gear change takes place, then the temporary
manual shifting switches off.
The gearshift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 38.
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.
Starting-off and driving
Read and observe
and on page 100 first.
Moving off and pausing temporarily
›
Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal.
›
Start the engine.
›
Press the selector lever towards the left in the spring-tensioned position in
the direction of the arrow » Fig. 122 on page 100 and insert into position D .
›
Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
The selector lever position N does not have to be selected when stopping for a
short time (e.g. at a crossroads). However, the brake pedal should be de-
pressed, in order to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Accelerating hard while in motion (kick-down function)
If the accelerator pedal is depressed while the vehicle is in forward drive mode,
