Roof rackRoof rail
Pay 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 de
veloped for the vehicle, that is why you
should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda Auto.•
The roof rail is the basis for a complete
roof luggage rack system. Separate addi-
tional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surf-boards, skis and boats.•
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the specialist garages.
Caution
•
Ensure that the opened boot lid do
es not collide with the roof load.
•
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.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag resu
lts in a higher fuel consumption.
Roof loadDistribute weight evenly over the roof lu
ggage rack system. The maximum permissible
roof load (including roof rack system) of
75 kg
and the maximum
permissible total
weight of the vehicle 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 carr
ying capacity. 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!•
You must on no account exceed the pe
rmissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads and the permissible gross weight of your vehicle - risk of accident!

DialogueThe period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and carry out the voice commands, is called DI
ALOGUE. The system gives audible feedback
and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions. You can start or end the dialogue at
any time by pressing the PTT button
 on the
adapter*
⇒page 132, fig. 129
or on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒page 131 or
end it with the voice command
CANCEL
.
The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g. after erasing the name from the phonebook. When receiving an incoming call, the dialog
ue is immediately in
terrupted and you can
accept the call by pressing the button°
 on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒ page 131 or by pressing the button for re
ceiving a call directly on your telephone.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “
Sorry?
” and a new entry
can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the 3rd error the answer “
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 withou
t 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 direct
ed to the driver and front passenger.
Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
Voice commandsThe digits
zero to nine
are permitted. The system dete
cts no continuous digit combi-
nations such as twenty-three, but only indi
vidually spoken digits (two, three). After
each order of digits (separation through br
ief voice pause) the detected digits are
repeated. The telephone number can be entered as an
interconnected spoken row of digits
(complete number), in the form of order of
digits (separation through a brief voice
pause) or through individually
spoken digits. After each order of digits (separation
through brief voice pause) the
detected digits are repeated.
If you enter more than 20 di
gits, the system announces: “
The number is too long
”.
Additionally for international calls a
Plus (+)
has to be entered in front of the 20 digits.
The voice control is possible in the following languages:
Czech, English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.Voice commands

Technical Data
Avoid driving short distances Short distances result in an above-average high fuel consumption.– Avoid driving a distance of no more
than 4 km if the engine is cold.
The engine and catalytic converter mu
st first have reached their optimal
operating
temperature
in order to effectively reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.
The cold engine vehicle consumes approx. 15 - 20 litres/100 km of fuel immediately after starting. Fuel consumption drops to 10
litres/100 km after just 1 kilometre. The
engine reaches its operating temperat
ure (outside temperature and engine
dependent) only after about
4 to 10
kilometres and the fuel
consumption then stabi-
lizes. You should therefore avoid driving short distances whenever possible. An important factor in this connection is also the
ambient temperature
⇒fig. 161
. It
shows the fuel consumption after driving a
certain distance, on the one hand at a
temperature of +20°C and on the other hand
at a temperature of -10°C. Your vehicle
has a higher fuel consumption in winter than in summer.Checking tyre inflation pressures Tyres which are correctly inflated save fuel.Always ensure that your tyres are inflated to the correct pressure at all times. The rolling resistance will be increased if the tyre filling pressure is too low. This will not only increase fuel consumption but also tyre we
ar and the driving behaviour will worsen.
Always check the inflation pr
essure of the tyres when
cold
.
Do not drive with
winter tyres
all year round for this costs about 10 % more fuel. They
are also louder and have poorer handling
characteristics and higher wear at tempera-
tures more than 10°C.No unnecessary ballast Transporting ballast costs fuel.The fact that every kilogram of extra
weight
increases your fuel consumption means
that it is worth taking a look in the luggage compartment to avoid transporting any unnecessary ballast. It is particularly in town traffic, when on
e is accelerating quite often, that the vehicle
weight will have a significant effect upon th
e fuel consumption. A rule of thumb here
is that an increase in weight of 100 kilogr
ams will cause an increase in fuel consump-
tion of about 1 litre/100 kilometres. You may frequently also leave a
roof rack fitted
on just out of convenience, although
you no longer need it. The in
creased aerodynamic drag of yo
ur vehicle causes it to use
about 10% more fuel than normal at a speed of 100 - 120 km/h, even when you are not carrying a load on the roof.Saving electricity Generating electricity costs fuel.– Switch off electrical components as
soon as you no longer need them.
When the engine is running,
the alternator generates and
supplies electrical power.
The greater the load on the alternator as a result of having a large number of electrical components switched on, the more fuel
will be consumed for operating the
alternator.Keeping a log of your fuel consumptionIf you really wish to keep a close check on your
fuel consumption
, it is best to enter
the figures in a logbook. This does not take much time but is a very worthwhile exer- cise. It enables you to detect any change (p
ositive and negative) at an early stage and
to take any appropriate action.

WARNING
•
In the event of a vehicle rollover, an occupant of the vehicle who is not
wearing a seat belt is exposed to a clearl
y higher risk of injury compared to an
occupant who is wearing a seat belt.•
Luggage and other items, which are transp
orted on the roof of the vehicle,
additionally raise the centre of gravity and thus increase the risk of a rollover.•
Avoid driving at an
angle on a hillside
⇒page 186.

Observe the important guidelines
⇒page 180.
Important informationOff-road driving is not suitable for everyone. Small children, expectant mothers and elderly or physically disabled persons are part
icularly at risk if the ride is rough and
help is far away. The first priority
should always be
safety
.
Never overestimate your own
capabilities and never underestimate the difficulties of
driving off-road. We cannot discuss all the possible driving situations in this manual, because there are so many types of terrains which may hide different risks and dangers. The examples listed in this manual are general rules for
safe off-road driving. It is however not
possible to predict if these rules are valid for all the situations which may occur. Before driving through unknown terrain, it is ther
efore important that you know what lies
ahead of you. This way you can estima
te any possible danger in advance.
For the sake of the environment
When driving off-road, show respect and
appreciation for the environment and its
preservation for future generations.Before driving off-road for the first timeBefore driving off-road, we recommend that
you take part in an Off-road driver
training course. This is especial
l y i m p o r t a n t i f y o u h a v e l i t t l e o r n o e x p e r i e n c e o f d r i v i n g
off-road. In a driver training
course, you learn how to use th
e vehicle in many different
off-road situations and how to handle the
vehicle safely when driving through rough
terrain. Driving off-road requires entirely different skills from the driver and a very different behaviour than driving on the road. Your pers
onal safety and that of your passengers
depend on you, your capabili
ties and your cautiousness.
Do not drive off-road where it is not suitable for your vehicle or where the demands on you are too high. Although your vehicle
can handle off-road driving, it is not
designed for travels with expedition characteristics. Before each journey off-road, make sure th
at the vehicle is appr
opriately equipped for
the planned journey
⇒page 182. The standard equipment of your vehicle may not be
sufficient for your journey. With the standa
rd tyres you can drive with your off-road
vehicle through easy terrain, such as flat forest roads, meadows and fields. Please note however, that driving the vehicle on a diffic
ult, muddy and sandy gr
ound is restricted
and that the traction of the standard tyres is
reduced when driving off-road. If you have
planned prolonged or difficult
off-road trips, we reco
mmend that you equip your
vehicle with suitable off-road tyres.
WARNING
Observe the important guidelines
⇒page 180.
Rules of conduct for responsible off-road drivingObserve the valid national legal requirements when driving off-road.

roof should be removed and secured, as the
vehicle could tilt by
a sudden shifting of
the luggage. A passenger, seated at the rear, should always
remain seated on the seat facing up the
hill during such a journey. In an extreme ca
se, the passenger on the relevant side must
exit the vehicle until you have
safely crossed the hillside.
Exiting the vehicle on a hillside If the vehicle comes to a standstill at a steep angle on a hillside and you and your passengers must exit the vehicle, then all th
e occupants should exit on the side facing
up the hill
⇒page 186, fig. 166
on the right.
WARNING
•
Never attempt to drive uphill or downhill if it is too steep for your vehicle.
The vehicle could slip, tilt or roll over - risk of accident!•
When driving at an angle on a hillside,
the vehicle can lose its grip and slide
sideways. The vehicle can tilt or roll over
and then roll down the hillside. This
can lead to serious injuries.•
Always make sure that when the vehicle
is at an angle, the wheels on the low
side do not sink deeply into the ground or into troughs and do not drive over stones, tree stumps or other obstructions
with the alternate ra
ised wheels - risk
of accident!•
Before you drive at an angle on a hillside
⇒page 186, fig. 166
, make sure
that you can steer and maintain your trajectory. If this is not possible, choose a different path. If you drive at an angle
on a hillside and there is a risk your
vehicle may tilt, steer imme
diately downhill on your trajectory and lightly
depress the accelerator.•
If the vehicle is stationary on a hillside
with a too great angle of lateral incli-
nation, avoid sudden and uncontrolled movements in the vehicle. The vehicle can roll over and then roll down the hillside. This can lead to serious injuries.•
If the vehicle is stationary on a hillside
with a too great angle of lateral incli-
nation, neither you nor your occupants must exit the vehicle through the doors facing downhill. This can lead to a shift of the overall centre of gravity. The vehicle can tilt or roll over and then roll down the hillside. This can lead to serious injuries. To avoid this, you and your occupants must exit the vehicle only on the side facing uphill
⇒page 186, fig. 166
.
•
When you exit the vehicle, make sure
that the door which faces uphill does
not close by its own weight or by carelessness - risk of injury!•
Observe the important guidelines
⇒page 180.
Driving over rutted roads and troughsYou will always encounter ruts when drivin
g on forest roads, through wet meadows
and fields as well as on rutted stretches of terrain. If the ruts and troughs are on firm and soft ground, you can simply follow the ruts.Do not drive over ruts and troughs which are
too deep. If you cannot avoid this, it is
better that you turn back.
Caution
If the ruts or troughs become too deep,
the underbody of the vehicle can touch the
ground, which might cause the
underbody to get damaged. Therefore, avoid driving in
deep ruts and troughs.Crossing a trenchIf possible, drive through the trench at an acute angle. Make sure when driving through the trench that the tilt angle is not too steep.
WARNING
Never attempt to drive through a trench if its embankment is too steep. The vehicle could slip, tilt or roll over - risk of accident!
Caution
If you drive into the trench at a right angle,
the front wheels will sink into the trench.
There is also the danger that the underbod
y of the vehicle touches the ground and is
damaged. For these reasons (even with four-wheel drive) it is rarely possible to get out of the trench.
