Should the vehicle start to roll away when starting on a downhill slope, step on
the accelerator or switch on the parking brake.
If the vehicle is secured by the system and the driver's door is opened or the ignition is turned off, the vehicle is secured by the parking brake to prevent
unwanted movement.
In this case, the indicator light turns off  in the instrument cluster and the
warning light  illuminates.
Activation/deactivation
The system is activated/deactivated by means of the 
» Fig. 257 button.
When the system is activated, the symbol  illuminates.
After switching off and switching on the ignition, the system remains either
activated or deactivated depending on the last setting.WARNINGThe increased stopping and starting comfort brought by the system must
not tempt you to take any safety risks.■
The system is not able to stop the vehicle under all circumstances, such
as on icy or otherwise slippery ground, or on gradients.
■
When stopping and parking always make sure that the vehicle is correctly
secured » page 208 , Parking .

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)

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.

211Starting-off and Driving

WARNING■The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 215, in section Introduction .■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
During a parking manoeuvre on loose or slippery surfaces (gravel, snow,
ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road. It is therefore recommen-
ded that you do not use the system in such situations.
CAUTION
The correct evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure de-
pends on the circumference of the wheels on the vehicle.■
The system only works correctly if the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size
approved by ŠKODA AUTO.
■
Abstain from using the system when the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or
a temporary spare wheel.
■
If wheels other than those approved by ŠKODA AUTO are fitted, the resulting
position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoi-
ded by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
CAUTION
If other vehicles are parked behind or on the curb, the system can drive your
vehicle over the kerb or up to the kerb - there is a risk of damage to the
wheels. If necessary, intervene in time.
