WARNING
•Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the
vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror.
These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for estimating distances to
the following vehicles.
•Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the
distances to the following vehicles.
Caution
If the mirror housing has been shifted out of position as a result of external force
(e.g. striking an object when parking), the mirror must then be folded in fully with
the electric motor. On no account attemp t to move the mirror housing back by
hand otherwise proper operation of the mirror mechanism will be affected. This
applies only to models fitted with the fold-in function for both exterior mirrors*.

Front seats
Basic information
The front seats have a wide range of differ ent settings and can thus be matched to
the physical characteristics of the driver and front passenger. Correct adjustment of
the seats is particularly important for
•safely and quickly reaching the controls,
•a relaxed, fatigue-free body position,
•achieving the maximum protection offere d by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
The chapters which follow describe the procedure which you should adopt for
adjusting the seats.
WARNING
•Never transport more occupants than the maximum seating in the
vehicle.
•Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened ⇒page 146, “Transporting children safely” with
a suitable restraint system.
•The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
•Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the
surfaces of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat
passenger. You will be exposed to increa sed risk of injury if it becomes
necessary to apply the brake or in the ev ent of an accident. If an airbag is
deployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated
position!
•It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance
of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this
minimum distance will mean that the airb ag system will not be able to prop-
erly protect you - hazard! The front seats and the head restraints must
always also be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.
•Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get
behind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then
no longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Adjusting front seats manually
Adjusting a seat in a forward/back direction
–Pull the lever ⇒fig. 53 up and push the seat into the desired posi-
tion.
– Release the lever and push the seat further until the lock is heard to engage.

Note
•When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memory button to each additional driver.
•Each new setting stored with the same button erases the previous setting.
•Each time you store the seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward you
also have to re-store the individual settin g of the exterior mirror on the passenger
side for reversing.
Assigning remote control to the memory buttons
After storing the settings of the seat and exterior mirrors, you have 10
seconds in order to assign the remote control to the appropriate memory
button.
– Withdraw the ignition key.
– Press the release button ⇒page 38 and hold it pressed for 1 second
until an audible signal confirms th at the setting has been stored. The
setting is stored with the memory button which you have selected.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also
using the remote control, you have to assign the remote control to a memory
button in each case.
We recommend that you assign one of the two remote controls supplied with your
car, to the front memory button, and the other remote control key to the middle
memory button.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional key with radio remote control from a
Škoda Service Partner and then assign the radio remote control to the rear memory
button.
Note
•If the remote control had previously been assigned to another memory button,
this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
•If you assign the remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by a new assign-
ment in this case.
•The assignment of the remote control to a memory button is retained, however,
after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
Retrieving seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward
You can retrieve the stored settings either with the memory buttons
or with the remote control*.
Retrieving settings with memory buttons
– For safety reasons, you can only retr ieve the seat and mirror settings if
the ignition is switched off. You have a choice of two different ways of
retrieving the settings:
– One-touch automatic memory: with the driver door open, operate
the desired memory button ⇒page 61, fig. 55 with one-touch.
The seat and the exterior mirrors now move automatically into the
stored position.
– Memory keying: with the driver door open or closed, press and hold
the desired memory button until the seat and the exterior mirrors
have moved into the stored position.
Retrieving settings with remote control
– If the driver door is closed and the ignition is switched off, briefly press the unlock button of the remote control ⇒page 38 and then open the
door.
– The seat and exterior mirrors now move automatically into the stored
positions.

Head restraints
Adjusting the height of a head restraint
– Grasp the side of the head restraint with both hands and push it up or down in direction of arrow ⇒fig. 56 . Best protection is achieved if

of your head ⇒page 127, fig. 136 .
Adjusting the angle of a head restraint
– The head restraint can be matched to the head of the occupant by
adjusting the angle in the direction of the arrow . Adjusting the
angle of the head restraint provides enhanced comfort for the user.

– Press the locking button in the direction of arrow ⇒fig. 57 and pull
the head restraint out.
– To re-insert the head restraint, push it down into the backrest of the
seat far enough until you hear the locking button engage.
The head restraints of the front seats can be adjusted for angle and height ⇒fig. 56 ,
the outer head restraints at the rear can be adjusted for height (about 15 mm). The
middle rear head restraint is fixed.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant.
Correctly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective
protection for the occupants ⇒page 127.
WARNING
•The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.
•Do not drive under any circumstance with removed head restraints - risk
of injury!
