WARNING

Ensure that the seat belts are not da
maged when operating the seat back-
rests. Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back seat backrests.
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
Pay attention that the seat backrest is correctly interlocked. It is only then
that the three-point seat belt can reliably fulfil its function.
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment ca
n slide into the passenger compartment
if there is sudden braking - risk of injury!
Note
If the housing of the net partit
ion* is installed, first of all fold th left seat backrest
forward and then the right double seat backrest.

Installing– Press the wire clamps in the direction
of the arrow and place it in its holder.
– Fold the seat cushion back into its original position.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 64.
In the event of an accident, there is such a
high kinetic energy wh
ich is produced by
small and light objects that th
ey can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of the kinetic
energy depends on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is trave
lling 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 en
ergy, 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 flyi
ng through the interior compartment and hits
an occupant.
WARNING

Stow the objects in the luggage compartment 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 deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard.
Please note that the handling properties 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 fo
rward if there are any sudden driving or
braking manoeuvres underta
ken - risk of injury!

When transporting fastened objects
which are sharp and dangerous in the
luggage compartment enlarged by folding the rear seats forward or removing the rear seats, ensure the safety of th
e passengers transported on the other rear
seats
page 115, “Correct seated position for the occupants on the rear seats”.

If the rear seats next to the folded
forward seat are occupied, ensure
maximum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that a folding back of the seat is prevented in case of a rear collision.
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
page 178, fig. 147
.
Vehicles of category N1On vehicles of the category
N1, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing
set which complies with the standard EN 12195
(1 - 4) must be used for fastening the
load.Fastening elementsFig. 56 Luggage compartment: Lashing eyes and fastening elements (Fabia) / (Combi)Eyes and fastening elements are located on
the sides of the luggage compartment for
securing the items of luggage
fig. 56
.
You can also attach fixing ne
ts* to these eyes and fastening elements for holding 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 are
attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, inju
ries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. In order to prevent the items of luggage being thrown forward, always use suitable lashing st
raps which are firmly attached to the
lashing eyes.Fixing nets - Net programme* (Combi)Fig. 57 Fixing net: double horizontal pocket
, floor fixing net / double vertical pockets

The fixing nets* for small items of luggage
and the installation instruction are located
in the luggage compartment.
WARNING

The whole strength of the net makes it possible to load the pocket with
objects of up to 5 kg in weight. Heavy objects are not secured sufficiently - risk of injury and net damage!
The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way that it cannot
move during the journey and when braking.

Solving connection problems If the system announces
No paired phone found
, check the operating state of the
telephone:
Is the telephone switched on?

Is the PIN code entered?

Is Bluetooth
® active?

Is the visibility of the mobile phone active?

Was the telephone already paired with the hands-free system?
WARNING
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth
® function of the hands-free system
must be switched off by a specialist garage!
Note

Not valid for all mobile phones which enable a communication via Bluetooth
®.
You can ask at an authorised Škoda Service Partner if your telephone is compatible with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II.
Please operate your mobile phone exclusiv
ely with a suitable adapter in order to
keep a low radiation in the vehicle.
Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal sending and
receiving power and offers at the same ti
me the advantage of the battery charging.

The range of the Bluetooth
® connection to the hands-free system is restricted to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles between the
devices and mutual interferences with other de
vices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a
jacket pocket, this can lead to diffic
ulties when establishing the Bluetooth
® connection
with the hands-free system or the data transfer.Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter*Only one telephone mount* is factory-fitted. An adapter for the telephone can be purchased from the range of the Škoda original accessories.Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter– First of all push the adapter in the direction of arrow
