The variable loading floor can be partially pulled out over the rear bumper. The
variable loading floor which is pulled out in such a way is solely used as a seat, for
example for changing shoes. When pulling out the variable loading floor, the front
edge (close to the rear seats) is lifted at the same time. Thus, small objects can no
longer fall into the space between the boot floor and the variable loading floor.

the direction of the arrow 1
» Fig. 72
and pull it out over the bumper in the di-
rection of the arrow 2
until it engages in the opening C

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

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
Cooling the storage compartment on the front passenger side
Fig. 88
Storage compartment: Using
cooling system
› Open the air supply by pulling the lever in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 88.
› The air supply is closed by pressing the lever.
Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows
cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or inte-
rior air to flow into the storage compartment.
We recommend closing the air supply if it is operated in heating mode or the cool-
ing system for the storage compartment is not being used. ÐStorage compartment on the driver's side

90 Using the system
Note
■ If a suitable adapter is available for your mobile phone, only use your mobile
phone in the adapter inserted in the telephone mount so that the radiation in the
vehicle drops to a minimum. ■ Placing the mobile phone in the adapter inserted in the telephone mount en-
sures optimum sending and receiving power. ÐInserting the mobile phone and adapter
Fig. 130
Universal telephone preinstalla-
tion
Only one telephone mount is factory-fitted. An adapter for the mobile phone can
be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Inserting the adapter and mobile phone › First of all push the adapter A
in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 130 up to the
stop into the mount. Then press the adapter slightly downwards, until it locks
securely into position.
› Insert the mobile phone into the adapter A
(as specified in the instructions
from the manufacturer of the adapter).
Removing the adapter and mobile phone
› Simultaneously press the locks on the mount
» Fig. 130 and remove the adapter
with the mobile phone. CAUTION
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup-
tion of the connection. When removing the mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, which reduces the quality of the transmit-
ting and receiving signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also inter-
rupted. Ð Managing telephone calls with the help of the adapter
