Exterior mirror
Fig. 52
Inner part of door: Rotary knob
Adjust the rear mirror before commencing to drive so that there is a clear view to
the rear.
Heating of the external mirror
› Place the rotary knob into the position
» Fig. 52.
The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +20 °C.
Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously
› Place the rotary knob into the position
. The movement of the mirror surface is
identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
The adjustment of both mirrors simultaneously or each individual mirror is possi-
ble in the Information display » table on page 17
in the menu point Mirror adjust. .
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror
› Place the rotary knob into the position
. The movement of the mirror surface is
identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Switching off operating control
› Place the rotary knob into the position
.
Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors with the rotary knob
› Place the rotary knob into the position
.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position to a different one.
It is only possible to fold in both exterior mirrors when the ignition is switched on
and at a speed of up to 15
km/h. Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors using the remote control key
› If all of the windows are closed, press and hold the lock button 3
» Fig. 12 on
page 31 on the radio remote control for approx. 2
seconds.
The exterior mirrors are folded back into the driving position after opening the
door or switching on the ignition.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror
On vehicles fitted with the memory function for the driver seat, the surface of the
mirror tilts down slightly when the reverse gear is engaged and the rotary knob is
in the position » Fig. 52. This provides an aid in seeing the kerb of the pavement
when parking the car.
The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of
the position and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.
Memory for exterior mirrors
On vehicles fitted with a memory function for the driver seat, the relevant setting
for the exterior mirrors is also stored automatically when the seat position is stor-
ed » page 68. WARNING
■ Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision
field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.
■ Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles. CAUTION
Never mechanically fold in or fold back the exterior mirrors with the fold-in func-
tion by hand as this will damage the electric drive. Note
■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the rotary knob, they can only be fol-
ded back into the driving position using the rotary knob. ■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control key and if the ro-
tary knob was in the fold-in position before the ignition was switched on, the mir-
rors will remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switched on.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position to a different one. £
64 Using the system
■
Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on. ■ If the power setting function fails at any time, the exterior mirrors can be set by
hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
■ Contact your ŠKODA specialist garage if there is a fault with the power setting
of the exterior mirrors. ÐExterior mirror with entry lighting
The lighting is positioned on the bottom edge of the exterior mirror.
The light beam is aimed at the entry area of the front doors after the car is un-
locked.
The light comes on after the doors have been locked or on opening the front
door. The lighting goes out about 30 seconds after the doors are closed or if the
ignition is switched on.
If the doors remain open, the lighting goes out automatically after about 10 mi-
nutes provided the ignition is not switched on. ÐAutomatic dimming exterior mirror
The exterior mirrors are dimmed together with the interior mirror. If the automat-
ic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending on the light
striking the mirror from the rear.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mir-
ror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed). Note
■ Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen for the rear
window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior rear-view mirror is
not affected by other objects. ■ Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that they do not impair
the automatic dimming function or put it out of operation. ■ If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror dim-
ming is also switched off. Ð 65

To switch off the ventilation shift the rocker switch into the horizontal position
. WARNING
If you or a passenger have limited pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g.
caused by medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend that you consult your physician before using the ventilated
front seat. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the electronic seat elements or the fan.
■ The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not place any objects
in this area - it may damage the fan.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 172, Fabric covers on electrically
heated seats. Note
■ The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity. ■ We do not recommend using the front seat ventilation and heating at the same
time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces the
heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit to de-
tect the right seat surface temperature. ÐHead restraints

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint 70
Middle rear head restraint 71
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The position of the front and rear outer head restraints is adjustable in height.
The middle rear head restraint is adjustable in two positions. The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant. Cor-
rectly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective protec-
tion for the occupants » page 141, Correct seated position . WARNING
■ The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.
■ Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.
■ If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
lower position. Ð Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint

Seats and Stowage
WARNING
■ The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back 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 boot can slide into the passenger compartment 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. CAUTION
Ensure that the seat belts are not damaged when operating the seat backrests.
Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back
seat backrests. ÐFolding the seat cushions forwards (Combi)
