Locking seats and folding back into position
– If the seat is removed, first of all position it on the guide and lock the seat
⇒  fig. 53 . Check for yourself that the seat is correctly locked by pulling it up.
– Fold the seat into the horizontal position until it is heard to lock. Check for
yourself that the seat can no longer be lifted by pulling it up.
– Push the lever ⇒ fig. 54 and fold the backrest back into position. Check for
yourself that the seat backrest is engaged.
– Take the belt tongue out of the safety holder.
– Close the guide loop of the seat belt on the side of the outer seats until it is
heard to lock. WARNING
● The belt locks and the belts must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
● The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no ob-
jects in the luggage compartment can slide forwards if there is sudden brak-
ing - risk of injury!
● When folding the seat backrest always make sure that it has safely locked
into position, this is confirmed by the position and a visible marking on the
cover of the lever. Note
The seat belts of the outer seats must always be guided through the guide loops
next to the head restraints. Otherwise the seat belts can slip behind the seat. 68
Seats and Stowage

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 ob-
jects 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 184 .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. 
Pedals Concerning a secure depressing of the pedal, you should use only footmats from
the

ŠKODA Original 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
accelerator - risk of accident! 
luggage compartment
Loading the luggage compartment Please observe the following in the interest of having good handling characteris-
tics 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 71.
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 travelling 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 energy, which corresponds to 20 times
its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can
imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “bullet” is flying through the interior
compartment and hits an occupant. WARNING
● Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes.
● Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward dur-
ing 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 driving must be adjusted accordingly.
● The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stored in such a
way that no objects are able to slip forward if there are any sudden driving or
braking manoeuvres undertaken - risk of injury!
● Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise ex-
haust 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 dam-
aged as a result of objects sliding in this area. £70

Fastening strip with moveable hook
Fig. 59 Luggage compartment: Fastening strip with moveable hook/remove hook

Fixing examples of the fixing net as double horizontal pocket, floor fixing net
⇒  fig. 60 - left, and double vertical pocket ⇒
 fig. 60 - right.
The fixing nets and the installation instruction are located in the luggage com-
partment. WARNING
● The strength of the net makes it possible to load the pocket with objects
of up to 1.5 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 can-
not move during the journey and when braking. CAUTION
Do not place any objects with sharp edges in the nets - risk of net damage. 72
