83Seats and useful equipment

›Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.›Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the
nets » page 97 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy 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.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an 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 “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the luggage compartment lid is opened or
closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
Boot light for Superb Combi vehicles » page 101.WARNING■
Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.■Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger
of death!
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – 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
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
around, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached
to the lashing eyes.
■
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are
able to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of in-
jury!
■
When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the safety of the passen-
gers transported on the other rear seats » page 9.
WARNING (Continued)■
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.■
Do not drive with the luggage compartment lid fully opened or slightly
ajar otherwise exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk
of poisoning!
■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
Do not transport people in the boot!
CAUTION
Make sure that transported objects with sharp edges do not damage the fol-
lowing:■
heating elements in the rear window;
■
elements of the aerial integrated in the rear window;
■
Aerial filaments integrated in the rear side windows (Superb Combi).
Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load » page 194.
Class N1 vehicles
Read and observe
and on page 96 first.
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.
The proper functioning of the electrical system is essential for the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle. It is important to ensure that it is not damaged during mod-
ifications or when loading or unloading the luggage compartment.
96Operation

Operational problemsRead and observe
and on page 108 first.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5
°C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 215 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 29.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning system)

The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 110.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to
provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when get-
ting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.Note■ We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a spe-
cialist garage once every year.■
During operation of the air conditioning, an increase in engine idle speed may
occur under certain circumstances in order to ensure sufficient heating com-
fort.

start to mist up.112Operation

CAUTIONLengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when get-
ting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculation mode - Version 1
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting in-
to the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in
a traffic jam.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched off.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distri-
bution control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into
the vehicle interior.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.
When the automatic air distribution control is switched on, an air quality sen-
sor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in air.

WARNING (Continued)■Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
from where it becomes a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an
accident or a collision — risk of injury.■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
Universal telephone preinstallation (hands free)
The universal telephone preinstallation (“hands-free system”) includes a con- venience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction steer-
ing wheel, the radio or navigation system.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.
Note■ We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist firm.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II or GSM III. Ask a ŠKODA Partner whether your phone is compatible with the universal telephone prepa-
ration GSM II or GSM III.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restric-
ted to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obsta-
cles between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your
mobile phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties
when establishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring
data.
