WARNING
■ The belt locks and the belts must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and backrests - they must be ready to use.
■ The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no ob-
jects in the boot can slide forwards if there is sudden braking - risk of injury!
■ Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. It is only then that
the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function. ■ Ensure that the cross rod is inserted into the mounts C

ä
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Attachment points 82
Roof load 82
ä WARNING
■ The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably at-
tached - risk of accident!
■ Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
tensioning straps. ■ Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■ The handling properties of your vehicle change when you transport heavy or
bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displacement of the cen-
tre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of accident! The style
of driving and speed must therefore be adapted to the current circumstances. ■ Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■ Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. ■ The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and gross permissible
weight of your vehicle must not be exceeded under any circumstances - risk
of accident! CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by
ŠKODA.
■ If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
■ On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof or a panoramic sliding roof,
ensure that the opened sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof does not
strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.
■ Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■ The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof luggage rack system
and the load that is secured to it. Compare the vehicle height with available clear-
ances, such as underpasses and garage doors. ■ Always remove the roof luggage rack system before entering an automated car
wash.
■ Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the secured load. For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. Ð

Seats and Stowage

CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum power consumption, otherwise the vehicle's elec-
trical system can be damaged.
■ Connecting electrical components when the engine is not running will drain the
battery of the vehicle - risk of battery draining!
■ Only use matching plugs to avoid damaging the 12-volt power socket.
■ Only use accessories that have been tested for electromagnetic compatibility in
accordance with the applicable directives.
■ Before turning the ignition on or off, and before starting the car, switch off the
device connected to the 12-volt power socket to prevent any damage caused by
voltage fluctuations.
■ Observe the operating instructions for the connected devices! Note
The 12-volt power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical ac-
cessories with a power uptake of up to 120 watt.ÐStorage compartments
Overview
The vehicle has the following storage compartments: Storage compartment on the front passenger side » page 85
Storage compartment on the driver's side » page 86
Stowage compartment in front centre console » page 86
Storage net in the front centre console » page 86

Lockable side compartment (Combi) » page 91
Non-lockable side compartment (Combi) » page 91 WARNING
■ Do not place anything on the dash panel. These objects might slide or fall
down when driving (when accelerating or cornering) and may distract you
from concentrating on the traffic - risk of accident!
■ When driving, ensure that no objects from the centre console or from other
storage compartments can get into the driver's footwell. You would then no
longer be able to apply the brakes, operate the clutch or accelerator - risk of
accident!
■ The storage compartments must always be closed when driving for safety
reasons. Ð Storage compartment on the front passenger side
