Where to Switch Driving Modes in Skoda Superb?

Mode switching button is located next to the gear lever. ECO Mode: In this mode, the onboard computer limits fuel injection volume and controls the gearshift logic of the transmission. Vehicle power output is suppressed, and even pressing the accelerator pedal hard won't result in rapid acceleration, giving a somewhat sluggish feeling. Normal Mode: In standard mode, the vehicle operates under regular conditions with balanced performance. It adapts well to most road conditions while delivering a satisfying driving experience. The suspension offers moderate stiffness, throttle response remains agile yet comfortable. Sport Mode: This mode adopts more aggressive gearshift logic. The transmission shifts gears only when the engine reaches higher RPMs, ensuring robust power performance. The most noticeable difference is the enhanced acceleration G-force. However, increased RPM leads to higher fuel consumption and accelerated wear on both engine and transmission components.

When driving the Superb, I noticed the driving mode switch button is located near the left side of the steering wheel or on the knob in the gear lever area, depending on your model year. The button usually has icons for Economy, Normal, and Sport modes. Pressing or rotating it cycles through the modes, with the current mode displayed on the instrument panel. This feature is very practical—I often switch to Economy mode for fuel efficiency, which is great for city traffic jams, while Sport mode provides ample power for highway driving. When switching modes, ensure the car is stationary to avoid distraction. Sometimes, the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel can also assist with operation. If you can't find the button, try checking the menu settings on the central control screen, typically under Vehicle Settings in the Driving Options. Regularly understanding the differences between modes can enhance both driving experience and safety.

I remember the driving mode switch in the Superb is quite convenient. On most models, the button is on the small dial next to the gear lever—just a twist and it's done. The differences between modes are quite noticeable: in Eco mode, acceleration is smooth and fuel-efficient, but it struggles on inclines; Sport mode offers quicker response and louder engine sounds, but at the cost of higher fuel consumption. I recommend experimenting with different modes to find the one that best suits the road conditions. It's safest to operate the switch when parked, not while driving. Also, a change in the dashboard display indicates the mode has been switched. If the button isn't obvious, check the manual or ask a technician at the 4S dealership—after all, the new Superb might have settings in the touchscreen. On wet or slippery roads, I always stick to Normal mode for more stable handling.

To change the Škoda driving mode, simply locate the button on the right side of the steering wheel or the knob near the driver's position under the center console. The button displays mode icons - press it to toggle between Eco, Normal, and other options. Eco mode saves fuel with slower acceleration, while Sport mode is ideal for quick overtaking. The dashboard light changes confirm the switch. I always operate it when stopped at red lights for safety. If unresponsive, check for fuse issues or system faults, and monitor during regular maintenance. Mode switching affects steering weight and throttle sensitivity - beginners should start with Normal. If you can't find the button, check the vehicle settings menu on the center display.
