2016 SKODA KODIAQ transmission

WARNING (Continued)■If the vehicle stalls, with engine running, in the D, S , R or Tiptronic mode,
then the vehicle must be prevented from rolling away by means of the
brake pedal, parking brake or using the Auto Hold function. Even when the
engine is idling, the power transmission is never completely interrupted –
the vehicle creeps.■
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever must always be set to P .
Otherwise, the vehicle could start to move - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ If you want to move the selector lever from position N to position D / S whilst
driving, the engine must be running at idling speed.■
When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.

When the ignition is switched on, the gearbox mode and the currently selected
gear are indicated in the display » Fig. 259.
Park - the position can be set only when the vehicle is at a standstill.
The drive wheels are mechanically locked.
Reverse gear - the position can be set only when the vehicle is at a stand-
still and the engine is at idling speed.
Neutral (idle position) - the power transmission to the drive wheels is in-
terrupted.
PRNForward mode / sports programme - the gear change takes place in the
position S at higher engine speeds than in mode D
(Sprung position) - choice between positions D and S
If the Sport driving mode is selected with the engine running » page 251, Se-
lect the driving mode (Driving Mode Selection) , the transmission is automati-
cally set in the S mode.
E – Economical driving mode
If the driving mode Eco or Individual (engine - Eco) » page 251 is selected and
the selection lever is in the setting D/S, the transmission is automatically set
to mode E. This mode cannot be selected with the selector lever.
The forwards mode is switched up or down automatically in mode E at lower
engine speeds than in mode D.

ABCProactive passenger protection (Crew Protect Assist)
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
253
ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.
WARNINGPlease take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .
Note
■
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 37 ,  Safety systems .■
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning func-
tion for the front passenger seat is switched off.
Function
Read and observe
on page 253 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden changein direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ Opened door windows in the front doors are automatically closed up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position. 

The activation/deactivation of the system can be carried out in one of two
ways. ▶ In the instrument cluster display » page 49, Menu item

▶ In Infotainment » page 254, Settings in Infotainment .
Adaptive tracking can also be enabled or disabled In Infotainment.
After switching off and switching on the ignition, the system setting is re-
tained.

If, for some unknown reason, the system is not available, an appropriate mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
Sensor covered / dirty
If the windscreen is dirty, iced or misted up in the sensor area, a message ap-
pears indicating that there is no sensor view. Clean the windscreen or remove
the obstacles from the sensor area.
System unavailable
If the system is currently unavailable, a message concerning the unavailability
appears. Try to re-activate the machine. If the system still is not available, seek
the assistance of a specialist garage.
System fault
In the case of a system fault, an error message appears. Seek help from a spe-
cialist garage.
Request to take over steering
If the system detects that there are no hands are on the steering wheel, this
will not work properly. You will be prompted to take over steering. Place your

systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The driver must always have hands on the steering wheel and be ready to
take over steering of the vehicle himself (accelerate or brake).
Note
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Function

The traffic jam assistant (referred to as system) helps to keep the vehicle with-

ahead.
The system is only available for vehicles with Automatic transmission.
The traffic jam assistant is an extension of the systems Lane Assist » page 254

For this reason, the chapters on System Lane Assist and ACC are to be read
carefully and the safety notes are to be observed.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function

Operating conditions
257WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
The system is intended for emergency situations when the driver is sud-
denly unable to take over the steering task. Therefore, never try to test out
the system - there is a risk of an accident!
Function
Read and observe
on page 257 first.
The assistant for emergencies (following known as system) detects inactivityof the driver, which for example can be caused by a sudden loss of conscious-
ness. The system then performs measures as safely as possible to decelerate
the vehicle to a stop.
The system is only available for vehicles with Automatic transmission.
The assistant for emergencies is an extension of the systems Lane Assist
» page 254 and ACC » page 243 and works by using the functions of these two
systems.
For this reason, the chapters on System Lane Assist and ACC are to be read
carefully and the safety notes are to be observed.
System intervention
If the system detects the driver's inactivity, it draws attention to this fact by a beep and a message on the display of the instrument cluster. It keeps the ve-
hicle in its lane.
If the driver does not take over the steering even after a repeated warning,
the system automatically brakes the vehicle and after it has come to a stand-
still the parking brake switch on.
With automatic braking, the hazard warning system is switched on.
The automatic braking interventions can be cancelled by pressing the acceler-
ator pedal or by means of a steering intervention.
Operating conditions
Read and observe
on page 257 first.
The system can intervene when the following basic conditions are present. Lane Assist is activated and the boundary line is detected at least on one
side of the lane » page 254.
ACC is activated and the regulation » page 243 follows.

Vertical traffic signs must always take precedence over the traffic signs
shown in the display. The driver is always responsible for correctly assess-
ing the traffic situation.
