The roof rack*DescriptionPay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items on the roof of your vehicle:•
A special roof luggage rack system was
developed for the vehicle, that is why
you should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda Auto.•
The base carrier is the basis for a comple
te roof luggage rack system. Separate
additional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats.•
The basic version of the roof luggage ra
ck system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from th
e authorised Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•
If you use other roof rack systems or if the roof bars are not properly fitted, then
any damage which may result to your ca
r is not covered by the warranty agree-
ments. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting instructions supplied with the roof luggage rack system.•
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the opened
sliding/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.•
Ensure that the opened boot lid do
es not collide with the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. One should therefore take off the roof bar system after use.
Attachment pointsPerform the assembly and the disassembly according to the attached instructions.
Note
If you have any questions, plea
se contact a specialist garage.
Roof loadDistribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum permis- sible roof load (including roof rack system) of
100 kg
and the maximum permissible
total weight of the vehicl
e should not be exceeded.
You cannot make full use of th
e permissible roof load if you use a roof luggage rack
system with a lower load carrying capa
city. The load transported on the roof
luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit which is stated in the fitting instructions.
WARNING
•
The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably
attached - risk of accident!

Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and tw
o-way radio system in a vehicle should
only be carried out by an authorised Škoda Service Partner. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mo
bile phones and two-way radio systems
with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts. It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofit- ting mobile telephones and radio transmitters. Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func- tioning of the electronic systems of your
vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
•
no external aerial,
•
external aerial incorrectly installed,
•
transmission power greater than 10 watts.
You should also be aware of the fact that only an
external
aerial makes it possible
to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special external aerial
or an external aeri
al which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field in the interior of the vehicle.•
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!
•
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts
on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to
the occupants in the event of an acci-
dent.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and two-way radio systems.Universal telephone pr
einstallation GSM II*
IntroductionThis enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone (“hands- free system - Hands Free” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of signals using an external aerial
11) etc.). The equipment includes
also the voice control. The telephone is connected by means of the Bluetooth
®
technology
⇒page 142, “Bluetooth®”. On vehicles fitted with a telephone
mount*, it is also possible to establis
h the connection via the interface of the
adapter
12) ⇒page 144, “Operating telephone calls with the aid of the adapter*.”.
A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone. The volume can be changed at any time with the set button of the radio* or with the function keys on the mult
ifunction steering wheel*.
If the system answers with the voice response “

Cancel
” is given and the dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following factors:•
Speak with a normal tone of voice wi
thout intonation and excessive voice
pauses.•
Avoid insufficient articulation.
•
Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to reduce or stop disturbing
exterior noise.•
It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.•
During the dialogue avoid additional nois
e in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.•
Do not speak, if the syst
em makes an announcement.
•
The microphone for voice control is directed to the driver and front passenger.
Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for road safety. Use the tele
phone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control
of your vehicle at any time.
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interruption of the connection. When taking out th
e mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this
reduces the quality of the transmitting
and receiving signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also interrupted.

Airbag system
174
Airbag systemDescription of the airbag systemGeneral information on the airbag systemThe front airbag system is complementary to the three-point seat belts and offers additional protection for the head and ches
t area of the driver and passenger in the
event of a frontal collision. In the case of a violent side crash, the si
de* and head* airbags reduce the risk of
injuries to the occupants on
the part of the body facing
the side of the accident
⇒
.
The airbag system is only functional after the ignition has been switched on.The operational readiness of the airbag system is monitored electronically. The airbag warning light comes on for a few seconds each time the ignition is switched on. The airbag system (according to vehicl
e equipment) essent
ially consists of:
•
an electronic control unit,
•
front airbag for the driver and front passenger,
•
Driver's knee airbag*,
•
front side airbags,
•
Rear side airbags*,
•
head airbags*,
•
an airbag warning light in the instrument cluster,
•
a front passenger airbag switch*,
•
an indicator light for a switched off fron
t seat passenger airbag* in the middle
of the dash panel. A fault in the airbag system exists if:•
the airbag indicator light does not light
up when the ignition is switched on,
•
the warning light does not go out after about 4 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
•
the airbag indicator light goes out and comes on again after the ignition is
switched on,•
the airbag indicator light comes on or flickers when driving,
•
an airbag indicator light showing a swit
ched-off front passenger airbag* in the
middle of the dash panel flashes.
WARNING
•
To enable the occupants of a car to be protected with the greatest
possible effect when the airbag is deployed, the front seats must be ⇒ page 164, “Correct seated position” co
rrectly adjusted to match the body
size of the occupant.•
If you do not fasten the seat belts when driving, lean too far forward or
adopt an incorrect seated position, you are exposing yourself to increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.•
Have the airbag system checked imme
diately by a specialist garage if a
fault exists. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in the event of an accident. •
No modifications of any kind may be made to parts of the airbag system.
•
It is prohibited to manipulate individual parts of the airbag system as this
might result in the airbag being deployed.•
The protective function of the airbag system is sufficient for only one
accident. The airbag system must then
be replaced if the airbag has been
deployed.•
The airbag system needs no maintenance during its working life.
•
If you sell your car, please hand over the complete vehicle documenta-
tion to the new owener. Please note that the documents relating to the possibility of deactivating the front passenger airbag are also part of the vehicle documents!•
If the vehicle or individual parts of
the airbag system are scrapped, it is
essential to observe the relevant safety precautions. The authorised Škoda Service Partners are famili
ar with these regulations.
