Start-Stop; Starting/Shutting Down The Engine - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Note
If the driver's seat belt is removed for more than approx. 30 seconds or the driv-
■
er's door is opened during stop mode on vehicles with manual transmission or au-
tomatic transmission (when the selector lever in position P), the engine must be
started manually » page 121.
After manually starting the engine on vehicles with manual transmission, auto-
■
matic engine shut down is not possible until the vehicle has travelled the re-
quired minimum distance for START-STOPP mode.
If on vehicles with automatic transmission, the selector lever D/S or N is selec-
■
ted after moving in reverse, the vehicle will first need to achieve a speed greater
than 10 km/h before automatic engine shut down takes place again.
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal temper-
■
ature of the vehicle battery even after several hours. If the vehicle remains out-
doors for a long time in minus temperatures or in direct sunlight, it can take sev-
eral hours until the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable
temperature for proper operation of the START STOP system.
If the Climatronic is running in automatic mode, it is possible that under certain
■
conditions the engine may not switch off automatically.

Further information on automatic transmission
Engine shut down takes place when the selector lever is in positions P, D/S, N
and in Tiptronic mode.
When the selector lever is in position P the engine remains shut down after you

release the brake pedal. Start the engine by pressing the gas pedal or by moving
the selector lever into a different mode and releasing the brake pedal.
If the selector lever is moved into position R during the STOP phase, the engine
will re-start.
There is no automatic engine shutdown if the system detects a vehicle move-
ment due to a large steering angle, or when the selector lever is moved to posi-
tion R (e.g. when parking).
No automatic engine shutdown takes place when the vehicle is moving at low
speed (e.g. during a traffic jam or when tuning) and remains stationary after
pressing the brake pedal lightly. Automatic engine shutdown takes place if you
press the brake pedal down with more force.
