WARNING
•
The belt locks and the belts must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.•
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment can
slide into the passenger compartment
if there is sudden braking - risk of injury!•
When folding the seat backrest always
make sure that it has safely locked
into position, this is confirmed by the position and a visible marking on the cover of the lever.
Note
The seat belts of the outer seats must always be guided through the guide loops next to the head restraints. Otherwise the seat belts can slip behind the seat.Folding table on the middle seat backrest*

– The middle seat backrest can be folded
⇒page 74, “Folding rear seats forwards”
forwards and used as armres
t or table with cup holder
⇒page 76, fig. 73
.
– You can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses.
Note
If the middle rear seat backrest should be
folded forward for lengthy periods, then
make sure that the belt locks are not located below it - this can result in permanent damage to the upholstery.Seat heating of the front seats*You can electrically heat the seat cushions and the seat backrests of the front seats.Front seats– You can switch on and regulate the seat heating of the driver or front passenger
seat by pressing the surface of the regulator at the point at which the symbol is located
 ⇒fig. 74
.
– With one press, you can switch the heating to highest intensity which is indicated
by the lighting up of the three warning lights in the switch.
– 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 illu- minated warning lights in the switch.
WARNING
If, as an occupant, 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 difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we
recommend to make regular breaks 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 ar
e not occupied by persons or if objects
are fastened or stored on them, for example 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 197.
Note
•
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This has
a significant effect of savi
ng 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 depressing of the peda
l, 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 their 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 acceler-
ator - risk of accident!Luggage compartmentLoading the luggage compartmentPlease observe the following in the interest of having good handling characteristics 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 fixing net*
⇒page 79.
In the event of an accident, there is such a
high kinetic energy wh
ich is produced by
small and light objects that they can cause se
vere injuries. The magnitude of the kinetic
energy depends on the speed at which the vehi
cle 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 ener
gy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can imagine the inju- ries that can occur, if this “bullet” is fl
ying through the interior
compartment and hits
an occupant.
WARNING
•
Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes, e.g. with the fixing nets.
•
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an a
ccident 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 deployed 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 driv
ing must be adjusted accordingly.
•
The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stowed in such a
way that no objects are able to slip forward if there are any sudden driving or braking manoeuvres undertaken - risk of injury!•
Never drive with the boot lid fully open
ed or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!•
On no account exceed the permissible
axle loads and the permissible gross
weight of the vehicle - 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
