› If the seat is removed, first of all position it on the guide and lock the
seat » Fig. 53 on page 62. Pull the seat upwards to ensure that the seat is
locked correctly. ›
Fold the seat in the horizontal position until it can be heard to click. Check for
yourself that the seat can no longer be lifted by pulling it up.
› Press the lever
» Fig. 54 and fold back the seat backrest. Check for yourself that
the seat backrest is engaged by pulling on it.
› Remove the tongue of the lock from the safety position.
› Secure the guide loop of the seat belt on the side of the outer seats until it is
heard to lock. WARNING
■ The belt locks 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! ■ When folding the seat backrest always make sure that it has safely locked
into position, this is confirmed by the position and a visible marking on the
cover of the lever. Note
The seat belts of the outer seats must always be guided through the guide loops
next to the head restraints. Otherwise the seat belts can slip behind the seats. Ð Boot

In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced
by small and light objects that they can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of
the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling
and the weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this
case the more significant factor.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured
object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times
its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”. You can
imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “object” flies through the interior com-
partment and hits an occupant. WARNING
■ Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.
■ Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are fly-
ing around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are
thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard. ■ Please note that the handling properties of the vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as the centre of gravity can be displaced -
risk of accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly. ■ If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being thrown for-
ward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached to the
lashing eyes. ■ The items carried in the boot must be stored in such a way that no objects
are able to slip forward if any sudden driving or braking manoeuvres are un-
dertaken - risk of injury!
■ When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in the
boot that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the
safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats »

page 130, Cor-
rect seated position for the occupants on the rear seats .
■ If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that the
seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision. WARNING (Continued)
■ Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
■ Under no circumstances, should the permissible axle loads and permissible
gross weight of the vehicle be exceeded - risk of accident!
■ Never transport people in the boot! CAUTION
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not dam-
aged as a result of abrasive objects. Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load »
page 182, Service life of tyres .Ð Class N1 vehicles
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 62.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN
12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening the
load. Ð

Introductory information
The variable loading floor makes it easier to handle bulky goods and creates an
even boot floor when the rear seat backrests are folded forward. CAUTION
The maximum permissible load of the variable loading floor is 75 kg. Note

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Roof load 69
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! £
68 Using the system

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 vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama roof
does not strike any items which are transported. ■ Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened. For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. ÐRoof load
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 68.
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of
100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. In this case, the roof rack system must only be loa-
ded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions. ÐCup holder
ä
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Cup holder in front centre console 69
Cup holder in rear centre console 70
ä WARNING
■ Never put hot beverage containers in the cup holder. If the vehicle moves,
they may spill - risk of scalding!
■ Do not use any cups or beakers which are made of brittle material (e.g. glass,
porcelain). This could lead to injuries in the event of an accident. CAUTION
■ Do not leave open beverage containers in the cup holder during the journey.
There is a risk of spilling e.g. when braking which may cause damage to the elec-
trical components or seat upholstery.
■ The cup holder in the rear part of the centre console must be closed (otherwise
it could get damaged) before folding forward the rear middle seat. Ð Cup holder in front centre console
