oor”. The door contact monitoring is activated approx. 15
seconds after the locking. The interior and the towing protection monitoring are acti-
vated approx. 30 seconds after the locking. If a door is opened during activation, the
monitoring is only activated 5 seconds after closing.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The alarm system is deactivated by pressi ng the unlock button on the radio remote
control. The anti-theft alarm system is reactivated if the vehicle is not opened within 30
seconds after transmitting the radio signal.
The alarm system is also deactivated if you unlock the vehicle door using the key within
45 seconds after locking the vehicle.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting th e key into the driver door within 45
seconds, you then have to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition
on within 15 seconds after unlocking the door in order to deactivate the alarm system.
The alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
Bonnet,
Boot lid,
Doors,
Ignition lock,
Socket of the factory-fitted towing device,
Angle of the vehicle* page 51,
Vehicle interior* page 51,
A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply,
Socket of the factory-fitted towing device*.
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is disconnected
while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the vehi cle with the radio remote control or if you
switch the ignition on.
Note
The working life of the alarm siren is 6 years. More detailed information is available
by a specialist garage.
Before leaving the car, check that all the doors, windows and the electric
sliding/tilting roof* are properly closed in order to ensure that the anti-theft alarm
system is fully operational.
Coding of the radio remote control and the receiver unit precludes the use of the
radio remote control from other vehicles.

– Press the locking button in the direction of arrow
fig. 72 , press simultane-
ously the locking button into the opening using a flat screwdriver with a width
of maximum 5 mm and pull out the head restraint.
– To re-insert the head restraint, push it down into the seat backrest far enough until you hear the locking button engage.
WARNING
The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.
Do not drive under any circumstance with removed head restraints - risk of
injury.
If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
lower position.
Rear seatsFolding the seat backrest forwardsFig. 73 Unlock the seat back rest / lock the seat backrestThe luggage compartment can be increased in size by folding the seat backrests
forward or also by folding the seat cushions forward on vehicles of the type Combi.
Folding the seat backrests forward– Before folding the seat backrests forwards, you must adapt the position of the front
seats in such a way that they are not damaged by the folded seat backrests.
9)
– Unlock the seat backrest by pressing the unlocking handle fig. 73 and fold it
completely forwards.Put the seat backrests into the original position– Install the head restraint in the slightly lifted seat backrest.
– Place the rear lateral seat belt fig. 73 behind the edge of the side trim panel.
– Then push the seat backrest back into th e upright position until the securing knob
clicks into place - check by pulling on the seat backrest.
– Make sure that the red pin fig. 73 is covered.
WARNING
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the seat backrests - th ey 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.
Pay attention that the seat backrests are correctly interlocked. It is only then
that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function.
Before folding the seat backrest back into the secure position, place the rear
lateral seat belt behind the edge of the si de trim panel. Take suitable measures
to prevent that the seat belt is jammed between the seat backrest and the side
trim panel and is thus damaged.

9)If the front seats are too far back, we recommend that you have the rear head restraints removed
before the seat backrests are folded forward, in order to achieve a loading space as horizontal as
possible. Store the removed head restraints in such a way that they cannot be damaged or
soiled. Please refer to the guidelines page 87.

WARNING
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temp erature sensitivity, e.g.
through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we
recommend not to use the seat heating. Th is 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 are 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 209.Note
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This has
a significant effect of saving 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 88.
In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced by
small and light objects that they 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 flying through the interior compartment and hits
an occupant.
WARNING
Stow the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes.WARNING (continued)

Partially pulling out the variable loading floor*Fig. 87 Luggage compartment: partially pulling out the variable loading floorThe variable loading floor can be partially pulled out over the rear bumper. The vari-
able loading floor which is pulled out in such a way is solely used as a seat, for example
for changing shoes. When pulling out the va riable loading floor, the front edge (close
to the rear seats) is lifted at the same ti me. Thus, small objects can no longer fall into
the space between the luggage compartmen t floor and the variable loading floor.
– Grasp the rear par t of the variable floor at the handle, raise it slightly in direction of arrow fig. 87 and pull it over the bumper in direction of arrow until it
engages in the opening fig. 87 .

The variable loading floor is secured in the openings against movement.
The variable loading floor can be pulled out some more before dividing the luggage
compartment with the variable loading floor page 93. This enlarges the space
between the rear seats and the separation.
