First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 34.
The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by
several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10
seconds of the window being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-
moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to
automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.

Memory function 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 57 . 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.
■ 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. ÐAutomatic dimming exterior mirror on the driver's side
The exterior mirror on the driver's side is dimmed together with the interior mir-
ror. If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically de-
pending 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 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. Ð54

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Manually adjusting the front seats 56
Foldable front passenger seat 56
Adjusting front seats electrically 57
Memory function of the power seat 57
Memory function of the remote control key 58
Front seat heating 58
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. ■ As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch-
ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat-
tended in the car. ■ 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. WARNING (Continued)
■ Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 143, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■ The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
■ 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 footwell as they may get caught be-
hind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would then no lon-
ger 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. ■ For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat
memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back-
rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■ When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings
will be deleted. Ð

Seats and Stowage
WARNING (Continued)
■ If the front passenger seat backrest is folded, passengers may only be con-
veyed on the outer seat behind the driver.
■ Never transport objects on the seat backrest which was folded forwards,
which: ■ impair driver visibility;
■ make it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle, e.g. if they are
placed under the pedals, or could protrude into the driver's zone;
■ could lead to injury to passengers due to a change of direction or braking
manouvre when accelerating sharply. ÐAdjusting front seats electrically
