Automatic Transmission - Skoda Fabia 2014 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 keep the vehicle in position by using
■
the accelerator pedal – this may lead to damage of clutch parts.
Pedals
The operation of the pedals must not be hindered under any circumstances!
In the driver's foot well, only a foot mat, which is attached to the two corre-
sponding attachment points, may be used.
Only use factory-supplied foot mats or foot mats from the range of
ŠKODAOriginal Accessories, which are fitted to two the two required attach-
ment points.
WARNING
No objects are allowed in the driver's footwell – there is a risk of obstruct-
ing or restriction pedal operation.

WARNING
Never accelerate when the mode for moving forward is set with the se-
■
lector lever - there is a risk of accident!
Never shift the selector lever to R or P modes when driving – there is a
■
risk of an accident.
The vehicle must be held on the brake pedal in D, S or R modes if the ve-
■
hicle is halted and the engine is running. Even when the engine is idling,
power transmission is never completely interrupted – the vehicle will creep.
When leaving the vehicle, the selector lever is always to be put in the P
■
mode. Otherwise the vehicle could then start to move and potentially cause
an accident.
CAUTION
If the selector lever is moved to mode N while driving, the accelerator pedal
■
must be released and you will need to wait until the engine has reached its
idling speed before moving the selector lever to a forward driving mode again.
When the outdoor temperature is below -10 ° C, the selector lever, when
■
starting, must always be in P mode.
When stopping on a slope, never try to keep the vehicle in position by using
■
the accelerator pedal – this may lead to gear damage.
Note
After the ignition is switched off, the ignition key can only be withdrawn if the
selector lever is in the position P (valid only for certain countries).
