START-STOPsystem
Introduction
The START-STOPsystem (hereinafter referred to as the system) reduces
CO
2
emissions and harmful emissions, and saves fuel.
If the system determine that the engine is not needed when the vehicle stops
or is at a standstill (e.g. at the traffic lights), it turns off the engine and starts it
again when moving off.
The system function depends on many factors. Some of them are down to the
driver, while others are systemic and can neither be influenced nor identified.
For this reason, the system may react differently in situations which seem
identical from the driver's perspective.
The system is automatically activated every time the ignition is switched on
(even when it has previously been instructionly deactivated with the button).
Note
If the engine has stopped due to the system, the ignition remains switched on.
Operation
Fig. 257
Display
Vehicles with instruction transmission
The engine is automatically switched off as soon as the vehicle comes to a
halt, the shift lever is moved into neutral and the clutch pedal is released.
The engine is automatically started as soon as the clutch pedal is depressed.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
The engine is automatically switched off as soon as the vehicle comes to a
halt and the brake pedal is operated.
The engine is automatically started as soon as the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed or the brake pedal is released (with deactivated Auto Hold function).
206
Driving
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements for the system to function correctly
The following conditions must be met for the system to function correctly.
The driver's door is closed.
The driver has fastened the seat belt.
The driving speed was higher than 4 km/h after the last stop.
System status
The system status is shown in the display when the vehicle comes to a halt
The engine is switched off automatically; when moving off, the ignition
process will be initiated automatically.
The engine is not switched off automatically.
When stopping, the engine will not switch off for the following reasons,
among others.
▶
The engine temperature for the proper function of the system has not yet
been reached.
▶
The charge state of the vehicle battery is too low.
▶
The current consumption is too high.
▶
High air conditioning or heating output (high blower speed, big difference
between the desired and actual interior temperature).
If the engine is shut down automatically and the system detects that the en-
gine is required, such as when the brake pedal is pressed repeatedly, then the
system automatically starts the engine.
More information about the current system status can be displayed in the In-
fotainment screen in menu
/ → → display Vehicle status.
If there is a system fault, the following message will appear in the display of
the instrument cluster. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Note
■
If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the
driver's door is opened during automatic stop mode, the engine will have to be
started instructionly.
■
No automatic engine shut-down takes place when a vehicle with automatic
transmission is moving at low speed (e.g. during a traffic jam) and remains sta-
tionary after pressing the brake pedal lightly. Automatic engine shut-down
takes place if you press the brake pedal down with more force.
■
For vehicles with automatic transmission there is no automatic engine shut-
down when the system detects a manoeuvring action due to a large steering
angle.

Brakes and Parking
Introduction
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
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 instruction 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!

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
.
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.

Running in the engine and economical driving
Running 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
▶
Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶
Reduce idling.
▶
Avoid short distances.
▶
Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained
.
▶
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 system, in menu
/ → → Fuel consumption:,
it is possible to display up to three consumers that are currently making up
the largest share of fuel consumption.
▶

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 a driving speed of 150 km/h is reached due to a function impairment of the
shutters, a message regarding the function impairment of the shutters is
shown in the instrument cluster display.
After this message has been displayed, the maximum speed of the vehicle is
automatically limited to 170 km/h. The manner of driving should therefore be
adapted to this limitation.
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.
Avoiding damage to your vehicle
Driving Tips
Only drive on such roads and in such terrain that match the vehicle parameters
, Technical data as well as your driving skills.
The driver is always responsible for deciding whether the vehicle can handle
travelling in the given terrain.

Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water. The water level must not reach above the lower edge of the lower
brace
.
›
Drive at a maximum speed of walking pace, otherwise a shaft may form in
front of the vehicle which could enable water to enter the vehicle system
(e.g. in the air induction system of the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
■
Water entering the vehicle systems (e.g. the air induction system of the en-
gine) can cause serious damage to the vehicle!
■
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
sible water level for your vehicle.
■
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. An vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
Assist systems
General information
Introduction
WARNING
■
The assistance systems only serve to support the driver and do not re-
lieve the driver of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.
■
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
■
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
■
Only enable, disable or set the assistance systems when you have the car
fully under control, in every traffic situation - risk of accident!

lead to impaired function of the sensor - risk of accident!
CAUTION
Remove snow with a brush and ice with a solvent-free de-icer from the sensor
cover.
Braking and stabilisation systems
Introduction
The brake and stabilization systems are automatically activated each time the
ignition is switched on, unless otherwise indicated.
The error display is in Chapter
WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed
Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe on page 217 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
Fig. 269
ESC Sport / ASR system button
Read and observe on page 217 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.

Assist systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
Read and observe on page 217 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
An ABS intervention can be noticed through pulsating movements of the
brake pedal and distinct 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 217 first.
The MSR prevents the blocking tendency of the drive wheels when shifting
down or with an abrupt deceleration (e.g. on icy or otherwise slippery road
surfaces).
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.
Traction control (ASR)
Read and observe on page 217 first.
The ASR prevents spinning of the drive wheels. TCS reduces the drive power
transmitted 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.
Deactivation
›
Press the
›
or: In the infotainment system, in menu
/ tap on function surface →
ESC system: → ASR off.
With deactivation the warning light lights up in the instrument cluster
and
an appropriate message is displayed in the instrument cluster.
Activation
›
Press the
›
or: In the infotainment system, in menu
/ tap on function surface →
ESC system: → Activated.
With activation the warning light
is extinguished and an appropriate mes-
sage is displayed in the instrument cluster.
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 217 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). The XDS+ re-
sponds to the release of pressure on the wheels during fast cornering by
means of a braking intervention on the wheel on the inside of the corner on
the driven axle. By decelerating the individual wheels, this prevents the vehicle
from over-steering or understeering. This has a positive effect on the driving
stability and steerability of the vehicle.
Active steering assist (DSR)
Read and observe on page 217 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.
218
Driving
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brake Assist (HBA)
Read and observe on page 217 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
Read and observe on page 217 first.
When driving on slopes, Hill Start Assist (hereinafter referred to simply as the
system) allows you to move your foot from the brake pedal 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 system is active as of a 5% slope, if the driver door is closed. The system is
only ever active on slopes when starting off in forward or reverse.
Multicollision brake (MCB)
Read and observe on page 217 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 subsequent
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 217 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.
Further information
Parking aid (ParkPilot)
Introduction
The parking aid (hereinafter referred to as system) uses acoustic signals or the
Infotainment screen when manoeuvring around obstacles in the vicinity of the
vehicle.
WARNING
■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed
■
Moving persons or objects may not be recognized by the system sensors.
■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. There is a danger that such ob-
jects or people may not be recognised by the system sensors.
■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors.
There is a danger that obstacles may not be detected by the system sen-
sors.
■
Before reversing, make sure that there are is not any small obstacle, such
as a rock, thin post etc., in front of or behind your vehicle. Such obstacles
may not be recognised by the system sensors.
