Memory buttons Memory for the seat offers the possibility
to store the individual driver seat and
external mirror position. An individual posi
tion can be allocated to each of the three
memory buttons
⇒page 80, fig. 80
, that is three in tota
l. After pressing the
corresponding memory button , the seat and the exterior mirror are automati-cally moved into the positions which
have been allocated to this button
⇒page 81.
Emergency Off You can interrupt the setting operation at any time, if you operate any button of the driver seat.
Note
•
For safety reasons, it is not possible to store this position if the inclination angle
of the seat backrest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.•
When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memo
ry 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 setting
of the exterior mirror on the passenger
side for reversing.Assigning remote control to the memory buttonsAfter storing the settings of the seat
and exterior mirrors, you have 10
seconds in order to assign the radio remote control to the appropriate memory button. – Withdraw the ignition key.
– Press the unlock button
⇒
page 51, after the successful assignment
an audible signal will sound. 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 radio remote control, you have
to assign the radio remote control to a
memory button in each case. If you wish, you can obtain an additional
remote control key from an authorised
Škoda Service partner and then assign th
e remote control key to another memory
button.
Note
•
If the radio remote control had previous
ly been assigned
to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.•
If you assign the radio remote control
to a memory button which has already
been assigned to a radio remote control,
the old assignment is also replaced by a
new assignment in this case.•
The assignment of the radio remote cont
rol to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.Retrieving settings of the seat and mirrors You can retrieve the stored settings either with the memory buttons or with the remote control*.Retrieving settings with memory buttons – In order to retrieve the stored setting, you have two possibilities: –

– With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is
down-regulated up to the switch-off. The intensity of the heating is indicated by the number of illuminated warning lights in the switch.
WARNING
If you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which are diff
icult to heal. If the seat heating is
used, we recommend to make regular br
eaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that in specific cases as mentioned above the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
Caution
•
You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points
in order to avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heaters.•
Do not use the seat heating if the seats are not occupied by persons or if objects
are fastened or stored on them, for exampl
e a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.•
Do not clean the seats moist
⇒page 216.
Note
•
The seat heating should only be switched
on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of sa
ving on the battery capacity.
•
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat
heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.PedalsConcerning a secure depressi
ng of the pedal, you should use only footmats from
the Škoda genuine
accessories.
Operation of the pedals must not be hindered!
WARNING
•
Greater pedal distances may be needed when there is a fault in the brake
system.•
Do not place any footmats or other additional floor coverings in the area
of the pedals in order to ensure that all the pedals can be fully depressed and are able to return unobstructed to thei
r initial position - risk of accident!
•
There must be no objects on the floor which could roll under the pedals.
You would then no longer be able to
apply the brakes, operate the clutch or
accelerator - risk of accident!luggage compartmentLoading the luggage compartmentPlease observe the following in the inte
rest of having good handling char-
acteristics of
your vehicle:
– Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible. – Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.– Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or the safety net*
⇒
page 87.
In the event of an accident, there is such a
high kinetic energy which is produced by
small and light objects that they can caus
e severe injuries. The magnitude of the
kinetic energy depends on the speed at wh
ich the vehicle is travelling and on the
weight of the object. The speed at which the
vehicle is travelling
is in this case the
more significant factor. Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces
an energy, which corresponds to 20 times
its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can

imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “bullet” is flying through the interior compartment and hits an occupant.
WARNING
•
Store the objects in the luggage comp
artment and attach them to the
lashing eyes.•
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward
during a sudden manoeuvre or in case
of an accident and can injure the
occupants or other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are flying around are hit by a depl
oyed airbag. In this case, the objects
which are thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard.•
Please note that the handling properti
es of your vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity. The speed and style
of driving must be adjusted accord-
ingly.•
The items carried in the luggage compar
tment should be stored in such
a way that no objects are
able to slip forw
ard if there are any sudden driving
or braking manoeuvres undertaken - risk of injury!•
Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise
exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!•
On no account exceed the permissi
ble axle loads and the permissible
gross weight of the vehi
cle - risk of accident!
•
Never transport occupants in the luggage compartment!Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater are not damaged as a result of objects sliding in this area.
Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load
⇒page 235, fig. 210
.
Lashing eyesEyes are located on the sides of the loading area for lashing the goods to be loaded. You can also attach a floor fixing net*
to these eyes for lashing small objects.
WARNING
•
The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way that it
cannot move during the journey and when braking.•
If the items of luggage or objects ar
e attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps,
injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. In
order to prevent the items of luggage
being thrown forward, always use suit
able lashing straps which are firmly
attached to the lashing eyes.
