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 the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.
■ Do not use the seat heaters if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-
jects, such as a child seat, bag, etc., are fastened or stored on them. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 165.Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control »

ä
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint 59
Middle rear head restraint 60
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 129, 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

Front passenger seat: Stowage
compartment
› To open the lid, pull the handle
» Fig. 78.
› When closing the lid, hold the handle until the compartment is closed. CAUTION
The storage compartment is designed for storing small objects of up to 1.5 kg. in
weight. ÐFront armrest with storage compartment
Fig. 79
Armrest: Storage compartment/cooling of storage compartment
The armrest is adjustable for height and length.
Opening the storage compartment
› Open the lid of the armrest in the direction of the arrow 1
» Fig. 79.
Closing storage compartment
› Open the lid to the stop, only then can it be folded downwards. Setting height
› First of all fold the cover downwards and then lift it in the direction of the ar-
row 1
» Fig. 79 into one of the 4 fixed positions.
Adjusting in the forward/back direction
› Push the cover into the desired position.
Opening air inlet
› Pull the lock A
» Fig. 79 upwards.
Closing air inlet
› Carefully push the lock A
» Fig. 79 downwards until it stops.
On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped
with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air.
When the air vent is opened, the air flows into the stowage compartment with a
temperature corresponding to the control dial settings on the A/C unit, depending
on the outer climate conditions.
The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position  through ad-
justment of the control dial for air distribution. This setting causes the maximum
amount of air to flow into the storage compartment (depending on the rotary reg-
ulator position for the fan).
The storage compartment can, for example, be used to temper drinks cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the inlet should al-
ways be kept closed. Note
Push the armrest cover all the way back to the stop before applying the hand-
brake. Ð

Heating and air conditioning system

Note
■ The engine can only be started with a genuine ŠKODA key with the matching
code. ■ The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time after
starting the cold engine. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem. ■ After switching off the ignition, the radiator fan can intermittently continue to
operate for approx. 10
minutes.
■ If the engine does not start up after a second attempt, the fuse for the fuel
pump/glow plug system (Diesel engines) may have a fault. Check the fuse and re-
place, if necessary » page 201 or seek assistance from a

ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ We recommend locking the steering wheel whenever leaving the vehicle. This
acts as a deterrent against the attempted theft of your car. ÐAdjusting the steering wheel position

ä Electromechanical power steering
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 92.
The power steering enables you to steer the vehicle with less physical force.
With the electromechanical power steering, the steering assist is automatically
adapted to the speed and to the steering angle.
It is still possible to fully steer the vehicle if the power steering fails or if the en-
gine is not running (vehicle being towed in). However, greater physical effort is
required to turn the steering wheel.
If there is a fault in the power steering, the indicator light  or  lights up in the
instrument cluster » page 21. Ð Electronic immobiliser
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 92.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock. The
electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when the ignition key is with-
drawn from the lock.
The engine will not start if a non-authorized ignition key is used.
The following is displayed in the information display: Immobilizer active. Ð
