Driving Starting-off and Driving Steering Introduction This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Adjusting the steering wheel position 95 Power steering 95 WARNING ■ When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position.
It is still fully possible to steer the vehicle if the power steering fails or if the en- gine is not running (e.g. when towing). However, greater physical effort is re- quired to turn the steering wheel. CAUTION You will place great stresses on the power steering system if the steering is turned to full lock when the vehicle is stationary.
For the sake of the environment Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.
› Depress and hold the clutch pedal (vehicles with a manual gearbox) or brake pedal (vehicles with an automatic gearbox) until the engine starts. › Turn the key to position 3 to the stop and release immediately the engine has started – do not depress the accelerator.
Under these severe conditions , the thickness of the brake pads must also be checked by a specialist garage between services. Wet roads or road salt The performance of the brakes can be delayed as the brake discs and brake pads may be moist or have a coating of ice or layer of salt on them in winter.
Manual gear changing Fig. 88 Shift pattern of the 5-speed manual gearbox First read and observe the introductory information given on page 99. Always depress the clutch pedal all the way down. This prevents uneven wear on the clutch. The gearshift indicator must be observed when changing gear » page 13 .
CAUTION ■ If the selector lever is shifted to N while the vehicle is being driven you must lift off the accelerator pedal and you will need to wait until the engine has reached its idling speed before shifting the selector lever to a forward driving mode again.
Manual gear shifting (Tiptronic) Fig. 90 Selector lever/multi-function steering wheel First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 100. Tiptronic mode makes it possible to manually shift gears with the selector lever or multifunction steering wheel.
The gearbox shifts down one or more gears depending on the vehicle speed and engine speed, and the vehicle accelerates. The gearbox does not shift up into the highest gear until the engine has reached its maximum revolutions for this gear range.
New engine First read and observe the introductory information given on page 103. The engine has to be run in during the first 1 500 kilometres. Up to 1 000 kilometres › Do not drive faster than 3/4 of the maximum speed of the gear in use, i.e. 3/4 of the maximum permissible engine speed.
The technical requirements for low fuel usage and economic efficiency of the ve- hicle have already been built into the vehicle at the works. ŠKODA places a partic- ular emphasis on minimising negative effects on the environment.
Avoiding full throttle Fig. 93 Principle sketch: Fuel consump- tion in litres/100 km. and speed in km/h. First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 104.
Always ensure the tyre inflation pressure is correct. If the pressure is too low, the tyres will have to overcome a higher rolling resistance. This will not only increase fuel consumption but also tyre wear and the driving behaviour will worsen. Always check the tyre inflation pressure when the tyres are cold .
