43Unlocking and opening

The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 41.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is necessa-
ry to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activation means closing the lid
by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

Operational faults
46
The power windows operate only when ignition is switched on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely once
the driver or front passenger door are opened.
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 46. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton)
S
» Fig. 25 on page 45 when children are
being transported on the rear seats.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 200 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the electri-
cal power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power win-
dow mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there
to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 46.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle. 

Head restraints
68
Memory function of the electrically adjustable seat
69
Memory function of the remote control key

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;
› for a relaxed body position that reduces fatigue;
› for achieving maximum protection from the seat belts and the airbag system.
WARNINGGeneral information■Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.■
The electric front seat adjustment is still functional if the ignition is switch-
ed off (even with the ignition key removed). Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the vehicle.
■
The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this will
impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of injury!
■
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 186, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
WARNING (Continued)■ The front seats and head restraints must be adjusted to match the body
size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to provide
the most effective levels of protection to the passengers.■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident!
WARNINGInformation for the driver■Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of accident!■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel, and a dis-
tance of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dash panel at the height of
the knee airbag. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the
airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
■
Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell, as these may get
caught in the pedal apparatus when driving or braking » page 139. You would
then no longer be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate.
WARNINGInformation for the front seat passenger■Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to proper-
ly protect you - hazard!■
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. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes nec-
essary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is de-
ployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated posi- tion!
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 seat position in the electric
seat memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat
backrest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■
Each time you store the position of the electrically adjustable driver's seat and
exterior mirrors, the existing setting is deleted.

WARNING■ The head rests must be correctly adjusted to avoid risk of injury.■Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.■
If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head rests must not be in the lower
position. 68Using the system

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.

84Using the system

WARNING■The transported items on the roof rack must be securely attached – 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.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed musttherefore 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 permissible total vehi-
cle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s■When dealing with roof racks, the installation instructions supplied with the
roof luggage rack system must be observed.■
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.

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.
