When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed and
locked at all times. Note
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds. Ð Power panoramic sliding/sliding tilting roof
Introductory information
The power sliding/tilting roof (abbreviated in the following as 'sliding/tilting roof'),
can only be operated with the rotary dial when the ignition is turned on »
Fig. 20
on page 28. The control dial has several positions.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after switching
the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors is opened it is no lon-
ger possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof. £

On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 21 on page
29. The symbols which mark the switch po-
sitions are identical, however. WARNING
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright enough
to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncom-
ing traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visi-
bility is poor. CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on. ■ In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð Switching lights on and off

Lights and visibility

WARNING
■ Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 35.
■ Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front. CAUTION
■ In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or before
switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen.
If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the
windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
■ If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on, the
windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the ignition is
turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be-
tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again.
■ Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window.
■ Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■ If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen.
■ Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons.
These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Service Partner.
■ The ignition must not be switched on if the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
ded out. The wiper blades would move back into their rest position and while do-
ing so damage the paintwork of the bonnet. Note
■ Periodic wiping is dependent on the driving speed. The faster the driver is go-
ing, the more frequent the wiper action. ■ If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the wiper is blocked by an obstruction, the wiper will remain station-
ary. Remove the the obstacle and switch the wiper on again. ■ The capacity of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is approximately 3 litres.
■ The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen clean-
er to avoid any smears. The wiper blades should be cleaned with a sponge or
cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues, for example. Ð Activating the windscreen wipers and washers

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting the front seats 38
Front seat heating 39
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for:
› safely and quickly reaching the controls;
› a relaxed, fatigue-free body position;
› achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system. WARNING
■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of accident!
■ Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
■ The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system –
risk of injury!
■ Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■ Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 87, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■ The front seats and rear head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size, in order to offer an optimal protection for you and your occu-
pants. WARNING (Continued)
■ Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat passenger. You
will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the
brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
■ It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this mini-
mum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you – hazard!
■ Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell as they may get
caught behind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would
then no longer be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate.
■ Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects
(e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose – risk of accident! Note
After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle. Ð Adjusting the front seats
