Emergency Programme; Selector Lever-Emergency Unlocking - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Emergency programme

An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the sys-
tem.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are func-
tional faults in the gearbox electronics. This is indicated by all of the segments in
the display lighting up or going out.
A functional fault can have the following effect:
● The gearbox only shifts into certain gears.
● The reverse gear R cannot be used.
● The manual shift programme (Tiptronic) is switched off in the emergency
mode.
If the gearbox has switched over to emergency mode, drive to the nearest spe-
cialist garage in order to have the fault rectified.
