210Running in the engine
During the first 1,500 km, the driving manner determines the quality of the
running in process on a new engine.
During the first 1,000 km , the engine should not be charged with more than
3/4 of the maximum permitted engine revs and without the trailer.
In the area of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres , the engine load can be increased up
to the maximum permitted engine speed.
Tips for economical driving
The fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road condition, weather
conditions and the like.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed. ▶ Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶ Observe the recommended gear » page 44.
▶ Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶ Reduce idling.
▶ Avoid short distances.
▶ Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained » page 277.
▶ Avoid unnecessary ballast.
▶ Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.
▶ Only switch on electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating) for as long as they are
needed. In the Infotainment menu 

Radiator shutters
The radiator shutters located in front of the radiator (hereinafter: shutter) help
to reduce CO 2 emissions as well as harmful emissions and to save fuel.
If the system detects that it is possible to reduce the amount of air flowing to
the radiator, it closes the blinds. As a result, the air resistance of the vehicle is
reduced.
If, due to a function impairment of the shutters, a driving speed of 150 km/h is
reached, an appropriate message is shown in the display of the instrument
cluster.
After the display of the above message, the top speed of the vehicle is auto-
matically limited to around 170 km/h.
If this message appears in the winter, the cause may be ice or snow caught up
in the blinds. After the ice or snow has thawed, the blinds are functional again.
If the impairment not due to ice or snow, then assistance from a specialist
should be sought.

WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 212, in section Introduction .
Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
ESC improves vehicle stability in critical driving situations (e.g. if the vehicle
starts to skid) by the braking the individual wheels to maintain the direction.
During an ECS intervention, the warning light  flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
ESC Sport

ESC Sport / ASR system button
Read and observe on page 213 first.
ESC Sport allows for a sportier driving style. With ESC Sport switched on, in the
event of light oversteer or understeer of the vehicle, no ESC interventions take
place and the ASR is so limited that the drive wheels can spin.

Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
The MSR prevents the blocking tendency of the drive wheels when shiftingdown or with an abrupt deceleration (e.g. on icy or otherwise slippery road sur-
faces).
If the drive wheels lock, the engine speed is automatically increased. This re-
duces the braking effect of the engine, and the wheels can rotate freely again.
213Assist systems

Traction control (TCS)Read and observe
on page 213 first.
The ASR prevents spinning of the drive wheels. TCS reduces the drive powertransmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thus, for example,
driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
During a TCS intervention, the indicator light 
flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.

The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example. ▶ When driving with snow chains.
▶ When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
▶ When it is necessary to “rock” a car free when it has become stuck.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
EDL prevents the turning of the respective wheel of the driven axle. EDL
brakes the spinning wheel, if necessary, and transmits the driving force to the
other driving wheel. Driving becomes easier on road surfaces with different
traction under each wheel of the driven axle.
EDL switches off automatically to avoid excessive heat generation on the
brake of the wheel being braked. Once the brakes have cooled down, there is
an automatic re-activation of EDL.
XDS is an extension to the electronic differential lock (EDL). XDS does not re-
spond to the relieved inner curve wheel of the driven axle in the case of fast
cornering.
By applying braking force to the relieved wheel, spinning is prevented by the
XDS. This has a positive effect on the driving stability and steerability of the
vehicle.
Active steering assist (DSR)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
In critical situations, the DSR provides the driver with a steering recommenda-tion in order to stabilise the vehicle. DSR is activated, for example, on the right
and left vehicle side when braking sharply on different road surfaces.
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
The HBA increases the braking effect and helps to reduce the braking dis-
tance.
The HBA is activated by very quick operation of the brake pedal. In order to
achieve the shortest possible braking distance, the brake pedal must be ap-
plied firmly until the vehicle has come to a standstill.
The HBA function is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is re-
leased.
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
When driving on slopes, HHC allows you to move your foot from the brake ped-al to the accelerator pedal without the vehicle rolling downhill on its own.
The vehicle is braked by the system for about 2 seconds after releasing the
brake pedal.
The HHC is active on gradients upwards of 5 % if the driver door is closed. HHC
is only ever active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off.
214Driving

Multicollision brake (MCB)Read and observe
on page 213 first.
MCB helps to decrease speed after a collision by means of automatic braking
interventions and to stabilise the vehicle. This reduces the risk of a subse-
quent crash due to uncontrolled vehicle movement.
The automatic brake interventions can take place only if the following condi-
tions are met.
There was a front, side and rear-end collision of a certain severity.
The impact speed was greater than approx. 10 km/h.
The brakes, the ESL and other required electrical systems remain function-
al after impact.
The accelerator pedal is not actuated.
Trailer stabilisation system (TSA)
Read and observe
on page 213 first.
The TSA helps the combination stable in situations where the trailer sways
and then the whole trailer combination.
TSA brakes the individual wheels of the towing vehicle in order to damp the rocking motion of the entire vehicle combination.
The following conditions are required for the correct TSA function. The trailer was shipped from the factory or purchased from the ŠKODA
genuine accessories.
The trailer is electrically connected to the towing vehicle via the trailer
socket.
The parking aid is activated.
The speed is greater than 60 km/h.
