Note
●
The radiator fan may continue running for a further 10 minutes or so after the
engine and the ignition have been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, al-
so switch on again after some time if the coolant temperature rises because of an
accumulation of heat in the engine or if the engine is warm and the engine com-
partment is additionally heated by strong sunlight.
●
This is why particular care is required when carrying out any work in the en-
gine compartment

Shifting (manual gearbox)
Fig. 97 The shift pattern: 5-speed or 6-
speed manual gearbox
Shift into reverse only when the car is stationary. Depress the clutch pedal and
hold it fully depressed. Wait a moment before engaging reverse gear in order 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 the reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!
Note
●
One should not lay the hand on the shift lever while driving the vehicle. The
pressure of the hand will be transferred to the gearshift forks in the gearbox. This
can, over a period of time, lead to early wear of the gearshift forks.
●
Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing gears, in order to avoid unneces-
sary wear and damage.
Pedals
Operation of the pedals must not be hindered!
WARNING
●
In the driver's footwell, only a footmat, which is attached to the two corre-
sponding attachment points, may be used.
●
No objects are allowed in the driver's footwell – risk of obstruction or limi-
tation in operating the pedal!
Note
●
Greater brake pedal distances may be needed when there is a fault in the
brake system.
●
Use only footmats from the range of ŠKODA Original Accessories, which are at-
tached at two attachment points.
