Lights and Visibility
66Wiper blades in proper
condition are essential to obtain
good visibility
. Wiper blades
should not be allowed to become dirtied by
dust, insect remains and preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the
wiper blades could then be
due to wax residues left on
the windscreen by vehicle washing in automa
tic vehicle wash systems. It is therefore
important to
degrease
the lips of the wi
per blades after every pass through an
auto-
matic vehicle wash system
.
WARNING

the windscreen.•
You should clean the wiper blades regu
larly with a windscreen cleaner in
order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper blad
e with a sponge or cloth if it is very

Technical Data
Seats and StowageFront seatsBasic informationThe 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 offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
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 156, “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 vehicle is being driven -
never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces of the seats. This is particular
ly important for the front seat passenger.
You will be exposed to increased risk of
injury if it becomes necessary to apply
the brake or in the event 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 airbag
system will not be able to properly
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.•
Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except those
provided for this purpose (e.g. child safety seat) - risk of accident!Adjusting the front seatsAdjusting a seat in a forward/back direction–Pull the lever
⇒fig. 62
up and push the seat into the desired position.
– Release the lever and push the seat further until the lock is heard to engage.Adjusting height of seat– Lift the seat if required by pulling or pumping lever upwards.– Lower the seat if required by pushing or pumping lever downwards.Adjust the angle of the seat backrest– Relieve any pressure on the seat backrest (do not lean on it) and turn the hand-
wheel
⇒fig. 62
to adjust the desired angle of the backrest.

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 ol
d assignment is also replaced by a new
assignment in this case.•
The assignment of the radio remote co
ntrol 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: –

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!
