Shifting (Manual Gearbox); Pedals; Parking Aid - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

Shifting (manual gearbox)

Always depress the clutch pedal fully when changing gear, to prevent excessive
wear of the clutch.
The gearshift indicator must be observed when changing gear
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary. Depress the clutch pedal
and hold it fully depressed. Wait a moment before reverse gear is engaged to
avoid any shift noises.
The reversing lights will come on once reverse gear is engaged, provided the igni-
tion is on.
WARNING
Never engage reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!
Note
If not in the process of changing gear, do not leave your hand on the gearshift
lever while driving. The pressure from the hand can cause the gearshift mecha-
nism to wear excessively.

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 correspond-
ing attachment points, may be used.

Parking aid

Fig. 120 Parking aid: Range of the sensors/activating the parking aid
The parking aid determines the distance between the front or rear bumper and
an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in the
front/rear bumper.
The signal tones for the front parking aid sound higher than for the rear parking
aid. The tones of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu of the Information
display » page 16.
Range of sensors
Ð
The distance warning begins at a distance of about 160°cm from the obstacle at
the rear of the vehicle and about 120 cm from the obstacle in front of the vehicle
» Fig. 120. The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the
A
clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm
area. From this moment on do not continue driving!
On vehicles with a factory-fitted radio or navigation system, the distance to the
obstacle is simultaneously graphically illustrated on the display, refer to the oper-
ating instructions for the radio or navigation system.
