Read and observe on page 209 first.
The gearshift pattern for the individual gear positions is shown on the gear
lever » Fig. 258 .
The gear shift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 44.
Always depress the clutch pedal all the way down. This prevents uneven wear
on the clutch.

›
Stop the vehicle.
›
The clutch pedal is fully depressed.
›
Switch the gear lever to N.
›
Push the shift lever downwards fully to the left and then forward into
R » Fig. 258 .
The reversing lights will come on once reverse gear is engaged, provided the
ignition is on.
WARNINGNever engage reverse gear when driving – risk of accident!
CAUTION
If not in the process of changing gear, do not leave your hand on the gear shift
lever while driving. The pressure from the hand can cause the gear shift mech-
anism to wear excessively.Pedals
Read and observe
on page 209 first.
The operation of the pedals must not be hindered under any circumstances!
In the driver's footwell, only a footmat (supplied by the factory or from the
ŠKODA Original Accessories) which is secured on the respective attachment
points should be used.
WARNINGNo objects should be located in the driver's footwell, otherwise the pedal
operation could be disabled - risk of accident!

The automatic transmission performs an automatic gear change irrespective of
the engine load, the operation of the accelerator, the vehicle speed and the
selected driving mode.
The modes of the automatic transmission can be adjusted by the driver by
means of the selector lever.
WARNING■ Do not use the throttle if the forwards mode has been set using the se-
lector lever prior to starting up - risk of accident!■
Never move the selector lever to mode R or P when driving – risk of acci-
dent! 
209Starting-off and Driving

To move the selector lever from mode N to D / S only the brake pedal is press-
ed.
The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D/S ). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked » page 303.
Note
If you want to switch the selector lever from mode P to mode D/S or vice ver-
sa, move the selector lever quickly. This prevents that you accidentally select
mode R or N.
Manual shifting of gears (Tiptronic)
Fig. 261
Selector lever/multi function steering wheel
Read and observe
and on page 209 first.
Tiptronic mode makes it possible to manually shift gears with the selector lev-
er or multifunction steering wheel.
Switching to manual shifting using the selector lever
›
Push the gear selector from position D/S towards the right, or left in a right-
hand drive vehicle. The current gear is maintained.
Switching to manual shifting by using the rocker switches under the
multifunction steering wheel

steering wheel » Fig. 261.
›To
cancel manual shift, pull the rocker switch + towards the steering wheel
for more than 1 s.
If you do not pull one of the rocker switches -
/
+
for more than 1 minute,
manual shifting of the gears is deactivated automatically.

briefly towards the steering wheel » Fig. 261.
›
To shift down , tap the selector lever backwards
-
or pull the rocker switch
-
briefly towards the steering wheel » Fig. 261.
The currently selected gear is indicated in the display » Fig. 259 on page 210 .
The gear shift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 44.
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
over revving.
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.
Start and drive
Read and observe
and on page 209 first.
Starting and temporarily pausing
›
Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal.
›
Start the engine.
›
Press the locking button and move the selector lever to the desired position
» page 210 .
›
Release the brake pedal and accelerate.
The selector lever position N does not have to be selected if stopping for a
short time, such as at cross roads. However, you must apply the brake pedal in
order to prevent the vehicle from rolling away.
Accelerate to max. speed during the journey (kickdown function)
The kickdown function is applied when the accelerator pedal is pressed down
in the forward mode.
The gear change is adjusted accordingly to reach the maximum acceleration. 
