– Press the unlock button
page 49, after the successful assignment an audible
signal will sound. The setting is stored with the memory button which you have
selected.
Assigning the remote control key to the memory buttons on the KESSY*
systemOn vehicles which are equipped with the KESSY* system, the following procedure for
assigning the remote control key to the memory buttons exists for electrically adjust-
able front seats and mirrors*.
– Switch the ignition off within 10 seconds after storing the setting.
– Open the driver door.
– Press the unlock button on the remo te control key within 10 seconds.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also
using the radio remote control, you have to assign the radio remote control to a
memory button in each case.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional remote control key from an authorised Škoda
Service partner and then assign the remote control key to another memory button.
Note

If the radio remote control had previously 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.

After the successful assignment, the turn si gnal lights flash and an audible signal
will sound as a confirmation. The setting is stored with the memory button which you
have selected.
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:
– One-touch automatic memory: briefly press the desired memory button

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.

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)
