All I know is if in Eco/Norm on screen. When ever you pull back the stick an S apears on the speedo screen and the car shoots off and the speedo rises quickly when you press the throttle a bit more. That's all that matters really unless you are an F1 or rally driver and not on public roads.

COOL… warp drive!!! 

No you have to press the screen

 

Interestingly, I thought that too but a few days ago I accidentally pressed the button a second time and - much to my surprise - I noticed on the screen that the VRS mode had changed.  I played with it a little more and found that you can indeed change mode just by pressing the button two or more times.  Furthermore, having changed the mode like this, after a few moments the display automatically reverts to the radio or whatever you had it on before you pressed the button.

 

My car is a 2015 model year so I wonder if this is something that changed?

When I press mine a second time it turns the mode selection back to the previous screen, e.g. media....

Is yours MY14 or 15 Neil? I'm guessing 14 from your Fuelly.... So maybe it changed for MY15.

It's a MY14. Wonder if anything is mentioned in the MY15 owners manual....

It's in the current version of the manual (the PDF version from the Skoda site) on page 158:

 

The mode is changed by repeatedly pressing the symbol button .. or.. or in

the Infotainment display » Infotainment operating instructions, chapter Vehicle

settings.

 

In an older version I downloaded in September last year, the wording is different:

 

The selected driving mode is called by pressing the symbol button .. » Fig. 147

accessed, and the menu is opened in the Infotainment display. More information

about setting the driving mode » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter

Vehicle settings.

I can confirm my 2015 car switches modes by repeatedly pressing the button.
