Manual gear changing and pedals
Introduction

When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
Manual gear changing

The shift pattern
Read and observe on page 164 first.
On the gear lever, the shift pattern for the individual gear positions is shown
» Fig. 191.
The gearshift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 47.
Always depress the clutch pedal all the way down. This prevents uneven wear
to the clutch.
Engaging reverse gear
›
Stop the vehicle.
›
The clutch pedal must be fully depressed.
›
Switch the gear lever to N.
›
Push the shift lever downwards fully to the left and then forward into R

The reversing lights will come on once the reverse gear is engaged, provided
the ignition is on.
WARNING
Never engage reverse gear when driving – risk of accident!
CAUTION
If not in the process of changing gear, do not leave your hand on the gear shift
lever while driving. The pressure from the hand can cause the gear shift mech-
anism to wear excessively.
Pedals
Read and observe on page 164 first.
The operation of the pedals must not be hindered under any circumstances!
Only a floor mat (ex-factory or from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range)
which can be secured to the attachment points should be used in the driver's
footwell.
WARNING
There should be no objects in the driver's footwell, otherwise the pedal op-
eration can be impeded - risk of accident!
