The net partition can either be extracted from behind the rear seats or behind
the front seats.
This chapter describes the procedure for extracting and rolling up the net par-
tition behind the rear seats.
Installing and removing the net partition from behind the front seats is carried
out in a similar way as behind the rear seats. Before removing the net parti-
tion, the rear seat backrests should be folded forwards. After rolling up the net
partition in the housing, the rear seat backrests should then be folded back

Roof rack
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
fixing points for base support
118
Roof load
118WARNINGWhen transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered
to.■
The transported items on the roof rack must always 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 must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
■ On models fitted with a sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the sliding/tilting roof
does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof when tilting.■
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
including the load that is being transported. Compare the vehicle height with
available clearances, such as underpasses and garage doors.
■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.
Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.117Transporting and practical equipment

ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.WARNINGPlease take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 142, in section Introduction .
Note
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 35 , Safety systems .
Function
Read and observe
on page 174 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change
in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ The windows in the side doors (if open) are automatically closed up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶ The system deactivation in the Infotainment » Owner´s Manual Infotain-
ment , chapter CAR - vehicle settings .
▶ Deactivation of TCS » page 143, Braking and stabilisation systems .
▶ Selecting the driving mode
Sport
» page 171 .
Provided that the driving mode
Sport
is not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as in
panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
On vehicles with Front Assist the system has been expanded to include infor-
mation from the radar sensor » page 143. Using this information a system in-
tervention may also occur when there is the danger of a collision with an ob-
stacle detected in front of the vehicle.
A system intervention can only take place on the basis of the information col-
lected by the radar sensor, if the radar sensor is fully functional.
Note
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated » page 19 the belt tensioning
function for the front passenger seat is switched off.

174Driving

CAUTION■For Alcantara ®
seat covers, do not use any solvents, floor wax, shoe cream,
stain remover, leather cleaners or similar agents.■
Avoid leaving the vehicle in bright sunlight for long periods of time in order
to stop the artificial leather, materials or Alcantara ®
from bleaching. During ex-
tended periods of standing outdoors, protect artificial leather, fabrics or Alcan-
tara ®
by covering.
■
Some clothing materials, e.g. dark denim, do not have sufficient colour fast-
ness. This can cause damage or clearly visible discolouration to seat covers,
even when used correctly. This applies particularly to light-coloured seat cov-
ers. This does not relate to a fault in the seat cover, but rather to poor colour
fastness of the clothing textiles.
Seat covers
Read and observe
and on page 198 first.
Electrically heated seats
Use a specific cleaning agent such as dry foam or similar to clean the covers.
»
.
Seats without seat heating
Thoroughly vacuum the seat covers with a vacuum cleaner before cleaning.
Clean the seat covers with a damp cloth or cleaning products specially de-
signed for this purpose.
Indented points arising on the fabrics by everyday use, can be removed by
brushing against the direction of hair with a damp brush.
Always clean all parts of the covers, so that there are no visible edges. Then
allow the seat to dry completely.
CAUTION
■ Do not clean the covers of electrically heated seats either with water or with
other liquids - there is a risk of damaging the seat heating system.■
Regularly remove dust from the seat covers using a vacuum cleaner.
■
Electrically heated seats must not be dried after cleaning by switching on the
heater.
■
Do not sit on wet seats - risk of seat deformation.
■
Always clean the seats from “seam to seam”.
Safety belts
Read and observe
and on page 198 first.
Wash dirty seat belts with mild soapy water.
Remove coarse dirt with a soft brush.
WARNING■ The seat belts must not be removed for cleaning.■Never clean the seat belts chemically as chemical cleaning products could
destroy the fabric.■
The seat belts must not be allowed to come into contact with corrosive
liquids (e.g. acids).
■
The seat belts must be fully dried before being rolled up.
