Getting Going
In the Škoda Enyaq, the electric handbrake, used for parking (P), is located in the centre console where the gear selector would traditionally be. Just above it, you’ll find the mode selector, which lets you easily switch between reverse (R) and drive (D).
Driving The Enyaq
When you need to slow or stop the Enyaq, the brakes are automatically applied when your foot is removed from the accelerator in a process called regenerative braking. This is where the motor converts part of the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy, which is then stored in the high voltage battery pack.
Most drivers adjust to the feel of these driving aspects after just a few miles, but you can adjust the driving modes to according to your preferences by using the recuperation pedals on the side of the steering wheel. You can easily switch between higher or lower levels of energy recuperation, allowing you to tailor the driving experience to your preferences. This feature, combined with a range of driving modes, ensures a smooth and customisable drive.
Turning The Vehicle Off
To switch off the Škoda Enyaq, bring the car to a complete stop and keep your foot on the brake. With all doors closed, press the handbrake with the “P” button on the gear selector to engage the parking brake. Then, press the START/STOP button to turn off the vehicle. Always ensure the vehicle is in park before leaving. Don’t forget to put the vehicle in park before you exit!
Locking / Unlocking
The Škoda Connect app lets you lock and unlock your Enyaq remotely when you are in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle and in possession of the key, allowing you to also lock the car with a simple touch of the sensor on the front handle after closing the door
Starting The Škoda Enyaq
To start the Škoda Enyaq ensure you have the key in the vehicle. Simply press the brake, then hit the start/stop button on the left side of the steering wheel. Once the vehicle is on, select drive (D) and you are ready to go.
Connecting Your Phone
To connect your phone to the Škoda Enyaq, you can use Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or the MyŠkoda app. For Apple CarPlay, pair via Bluetooth, and follow the prompts on the infotainment screen. For Android Auto, open the MyŠkoda app, enable Bluetooth, and connect. With the MyŠkoda app, download it, insert the DataPlug into the car, and log in with your Škoda ID to control different features like charging.
Charging Your Phone
To charge your phone in the Škoda Enyaq, simply use the two USB-C ports located in the front for fast charging and data transfer. For a wireless option, place your phone in the Phone Box in the centre console, which offers Qi wireless charging and enhances signal strength for calls in areas with weak reception. This ensures you stay connected and powered up while on the go.
Accessing Storage
You can open the boot of the Škoda Enyaq in several convenient ways. First, you can press the button on your key fob to easily open or close the boot. Alternatively, there is a button located on the tailgate itself for quick access. For hands-free operation, simply move your foot near the sensor on the rear bumper to open the boot automatically. Additionally, the Enyaq features an automatically retractable load cover that moves back when the tailgate is opened, making it easier to load and unload items.
Using The Sat Nav
To use the sat nav in your Škoda Enyaq, start by tapping the search icon to enter your destination. Once you’ve inputted your location, the Škoda servers will calculate the best route, taking into account real-time traffic and road conditions. Press the “Start” button to begin your journey, and you can easily view your route by sliding the tab on the right edge of the screen.
For longer trips, consider pre-planning your route along with charging points to ensure a smooth drive. Additionally, you can sync your route with the sat nav for real-time adjustments as needed.
Accessing Climate Controls
To control the climate in your Škoda Enyaq, use the infotainment system’s touch-slider to adjust the air-conditioning temperature, or utilise the physical buttons on the steering wheel to manage air conditioning, recirculation, and temperature synchronisation for all passengers. The MyŠkoda app allows you to set your desired temperature before entering the car, start heating or cooling remotely, and schedule climate control for convenience.

Adjusting The Side-View Mirrors
The exterior rearview mirror glass adjustment switch is located on the instrument panel on the driver’s door. Rotate the round knob in the middle to select left ( L ) or right ( R ) mirror. Then move the knob in the desired direction to adjust the angle of the exterior mirror glass.
Adjusting The Seats
The front seats in the Škoda Enyaq can be easily adjusted using the electronic controls located on the side of the seat. You can move the seat forward, backward, up, or down, and adjust the backrest to your preferred angle. Some models also offer lumbar support for added comfort.
Adjusting The Steering Wheel
To adjust the steering wheel in the Škoda Enyaq, pull the lever beneath the steering wheel to release it, then move the wheel up, down, in, or out to your ideal position. Make sure the wheel is set at a comfortable height where you can see over it, and the centre aligns with your neck. Once adjusted, push the wheel to lock it in place. Always ensure the steering wheel is adjusted before driving for safety.
Adjusting The Rear-View Mirror
Adjust the body of the interior rearview mirror to achieve the best possible view. The anti-glare function of the interior rearview mirror helps reduce glare from the headlamps of following vehicles at night.
Adjusting The Child Lock
The Škoda Enyaq’s rear doors are equipped with child locks to ensure safety. These can be controlled electronically from the driver’s seat using two buttons located on the driver’s door. You can activate the child lock on either rear door with a simple press of the button, preventing the doors from being opened from the inside. When the child lock is no longer needed, press the button again to deactivate it, giving you full control for peace of mind while driving.
Adjusting The Vehicle Lights
When the Škoda Enyaq is on, the AUTO lighting system activates by default, adjusting the headlights based on ambient light conditions. For manual control, you can adjust the headlights using the master light switch, conveniently located to the left of the steering wheel. Additionally, the Matrix LED headlights automatically adapt to bends in the road and reduce glare for other drivers by dimming specific sections of the beam.
