Automated Transmission - Skoda citigo Owner's Manual

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 gearshift
mechanism to wear excessively.
When stopping on a slope, never try to hold the vehicle using the accelerator
■
pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
Pedals
The operation of the pedals must not be hindered under any circumstances!
In the driver's footwell, only a footmat, which is attached to the two corre-
sponding attachment points may be used.
Only use factory-supplied footmats or footmats from the range of ŠKODAOrigi-
nal Accessories, which are fitted to two attachment points.
WARNING
No objects are allowed in the driver's footwell – risk of obstruction or limi-
tation in operating the pedals!
