applies only if the ignition is switched on and the speed is less than 5 km/h).
– By pressing for a long period of time: press and hold the desired memory but-
ton B pressed long enough until the seat and the exterior mirrors are moved
into the stored positions.
Retrieving settings with remote control
– If the driver door is closed and the ignition is switched off, briefly press the un-
lock button of the remote control ⇒ page 37 and then open the driver door.

● 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.

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

Folding table on the middle seat backrest
Fig. 55 Rear seats: Armrest
– The middle seat backrest can be folded ⇒  page 67, Folding rear seats forwards
forwards and used as armrest or table with cup holder ⇒ fig. 55 .
– You can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses. WARNING
● Do not place any hot beverages into the cup holder. If the vehicle moves,
they may spill - risk of scalding!
● Do not use any cups or beakers which are made of brittle material (e.g.
glass, porcelain). This could lead to injuries in the event of an accident. CAUTION
Do not open the beverages in the cup holder while driving. There is a risk of spill-
ing e.g. when braking and therefore the electrical components or the seat uphols-
tery can be damaged. Note
If the middle rear seat backrest should be folded forward for lengthy periods, then
make sure that the belt locks are not located below it - this can result in perma-
nent damage to the upholstery. Seat heating of the front seats Fig. 56 Dash panel: Regulator for front
seat heating
You can electrically heat the seat cushions and the seat backrests of the front
seats.
Front seats
– You can switch on and regulate the seat heating of the driver or front passen-
ger seat by pressing the surface of the regulator at the point at which the
symbol is located  ⇒

 fig. 56 .
– With one press, you can switch the heating to highest intensity - 3rd stage,
which is indicated 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 illuminated 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 re-
cuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can
evaluate your specific condition. £ 69

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

suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries 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 straps which are firmly attached
to the lashing eyes. 

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
