WARNING■The airbag control unit operates using pressure sensors located in the
front doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the
doors or door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Further
information » page 95, Airbags .■
Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent knocks, kicks
etc., impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise the system may be
damaged. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
■
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen-
ger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by ŠKODA. In view
of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use of
non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the pro-
tective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag mod-
ule must be repaired immediately by a specialist garage.
■
The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any damage,
cracks or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force in order to open
the modules.
Note
In vehicles with side airbags a label with the lettering  is located on the
front seat backrests.
Deactivating airbags
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Deactivating airbags
18
Deactivating the front passenger airbag
18
Deactivating airbags
Deactivating an airbag should be considered in cases such as the ones below. › If using a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat (due to different
legal regulations, the airbag must be deactivated if using a forwards-facing
child seat in some countries) » page 19, Transporting children safely .
› If it is not possible to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the mid-
dle of the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly
adjusted.
› If special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because
of a physical disability.
› If different seats have been fitted (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side air-
bags).
The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated
switch » page 18 .
We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA service partner to deactivate any other
airbags.
Monitoring the airbag system
The operational capability of the airbag system is monitored electronically, in-
cluding when one of the airbags is switched off.

cle's airbags can or must be deactivated.

CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Tachometer
Read and observe
on page 28 first.
The tachometer
5
» Fig. 19 on page 28 shows the actual engine speed per mi-
nute.
The beginning of the red scale range of the tachometer indicates the maxi-
mum permitted engine speed of a driven-in and operating warm engine.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 30.
Avoid high engine speeds during the running-in period and before the engine
has warmed up to the operating temperature.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!1229Instruments and control lights

Note
Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle
battery is disconnected.
Gear recommendation
Read and observe
on page 28 first.
An information for the engaged gear is shown in the display of the instrument
cluster.
The function of the gear recommendation is to help reduce fuel consumption.

Recommended gear
The gear recommendation is intended only for vehicles with a manual trans-
mission or for vehicles with an automatic transmission in manual shift mode
(Tiptronic).
On vehicles with a manual transmission in the display, the recommended gear
and the respective arrow symbol is displayed.
For vehicles with automated manual transmission mode for manual shifting
(Tiptronic), the currently engaged gear and the respective arrow symbol is
shown in the display.
WARNINGThe driver is always responsible for selecting the correct gear in different
driving situations, such as overtaking.
For the sake of the environment
A suitably selected gear has the following advantages.■It helps to reduce fuel consumption.■
It reduces the operating noise.
■
It protects the environment.

The driving data is displayed on the multifunction display.
The multifunction display only operates if the ignition is switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the function that was last selected before switching
off the ignition is displayed.WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road
surface! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature dis-
play for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.
