2016 SKODA SUPERB Emergency

Infotainment
Introductory information
Important information
Introduction to the subject
WARNING■Only use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle
in every traffic situation (e.g. Do not write text messages while driving, do
not couple or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do
not enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Other-
wise there is a risk of an accident!■
Always route the connection cable of the external device in such a way
that it does not restrict you when driving.
WARNING■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emergency vehicles, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
CAUTION
In some countries, some Infotainment features can no longer be selected
when the vehicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunc-
tion, but complies with the national legal regulations.
Mobile telephones and applications
Fig. 157
QR code with reference to web
pages for checking the compati-
bility of devices
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 telephones
On the ŠKODA pages, check to see if Infotainment is compatible with the se-
lected mobile telephones. This check takes place by reading the QR code
» Fig. 157 or after typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the multitude of mobile telephones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
Infotainment unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check
the function on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, before-
hand.
Only those versions of the selected telephones 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 telephone to be tested may differ from the same
type of mobile telephone depending on the specification for the respective
country or the specific service.
Mobile telephones 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 telephone may differ with a different operating sys-
tem version compared to the one used with the tested telephone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by the mobile telephone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to Infotainment or
the vehicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or
unauthorized use of mobile telephones.
Applications
Applications can be installed in external devices (e.g. Mobile, tablet) making it
possible to display additional information in the Infotainment screen or to op-
erate Infotainment.
Due to the variety of applications 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. 121Introductory information

▶You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
▶ During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.WARNINGThe emergency number must be dialled manually. Your voice commands
may not be recognized in such situations. The telephone connection may
not be established or the connection may take too much time to complete.
CAUTION
■ The messages are generated by Infotainment. The flawless clarity (e.g. road
or city name) cannot always be guaranteed.■
For some Infotainment languages, there is no voice control available. Info-
tainment indicates this fact through a text message that is displayed after set-
ting the device language screen.

Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to Infotainment is limited to the passenger com-
partment.
To connect a telephone with Infotainment, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing process depends on the number of already connected telephones
or by using the SIM card inserted in the external module (Columbus)
» page 166 .
Depending on the Infotainment type, up to 20 external devices can be paired
with the device. After reaching the maximum number, the pairing of the next
external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the
longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired tel-
ephones and make the connection.
WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to Infotainment only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of an accident!1)

Brakes and Parking
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Electric parking brake
203
Auto Hold function
204
Parking
205
The wear of the brake pads is dependent on the operating conditions and driv-
ing style. Under difficult conditions (e.g. urban, sporty driving style) the condi-
tion of the brakes should also be checked by a specialist garage between the
service intervals.
The performance of the brakes can be delayed if the brakes are damp, iced up
in winter or if covered in a layer of salt . The brakes are cleaned and dried by
applying the brakes several times »
.
Corrosion on the brake discs and dirt on the brake pads 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 »
.
Before travelling a long distance with a steep gradient , reduce speed and
shift into the next lowest gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will
be used, reducing the load on the brakes. If you do have to brake, this should
be carried out at intervals.
Emergency braking display - when an emergency braking is performed, the
automatic flashing of the brake lights are used to alert the traffic behind.
New brake pads must first be “worn in” because these do not initially have the
best possible braking effect. Drive especially carefully for the first 200 km or
so.
A too low brake fluid level can cause faults in the braking system , the warn-
ing light  illuminates in the instrument cluster
» page 35,
 Brake system
. If
the warning light does not illuminate and an extended stopping distance is re-
quired, then driving should be adapted according to the unknown cause of
fault and restricted braking effect - seek the assistance of a specialist garage
immediately.
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!■
During the braking procedure on a vehicle with manual transmission,
when the vehicle is in gear and at low revs, press the clutch pedal. Other-
wise, the functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of acci-
dent!
■
Do not press the brake pedal if braking is now required. This causes the
brakes to overheat and can also result in a longer braking distance and ex-
cessive wear - risk of accident!
■
Braking for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake discs should be
carried out only if the traffic conditions permit. Do not place any other road
users in jeopardy.
■
Recommendations for new brake pads have to be observed.
■
When stopping and parking, the parking brake should always be on, oth-
erwise the vehicle could move off - there is the risk of an 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 functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of
accident!

Emergency braking function
If, while driving, a fault occurs in the brake system, the parking brake can be
used as an emergency brake »
.
›
Pull the 
button in the direction of arrow
1
and » Fig. 256 hold (you hear
an audible signal), the vehicle starts to brake strongly.
The braking process is interrupted when the key is released or the accelerator
pedal is actuated.
WARNING■ The emergency brake is to be used only in an emergency when the vehi-
cle cannot be stopped with the brake pedal.■
Do not place any objects in the recessed grip for the finger in front of the
parking brake key - the parking brake button could be blocked!
Note
■ If the vehicle battery is discharged, it is not possible to release the parking
brake. First connect the vehicle first to a power source, such as the battery of
another vehicle » page 287, Jump-starting and then turn off the parking
brake.■
Noise when switching on and off the parking brake is normal and therefore
harmless.
Auto Hold function
Fig. 257
The Auto-Hold function button
Read and observe on page 203 first.
The Auto Hold function (hereinafter referred to only as system) prevents the
vehicle from rolling unintentionally when stopped. It is, for example, not nec-
essary to secure the vehicle with the brake pedal or parking brake at traffic
lights. 
