In this section of the instructions you will find important information, tips and
notes on the subject of passive safety.
We have combined everything here which you should be familiar with, for ex-
ample, regarding seat belts, airbags, safety of children and anything similar.
You can find further information on safety concerning you and those travelling
with you in the following chapters of this Owner's Manual.
The complete on-board literature should therefore always be in the vehicle.
This applies in particular, if you rent out or sell the vehicle.
Before setting off
For your own safety and the safety of the people travelling with you, please
pay attention to the following points before setting off.
▶ Ensure that the lighting and the turn signal system are functioning properly.
▶ Ensure that the function of the wipers and the condition of the wiper blades
are free of any defects.
▶ Ensure that all of the windows offer good visibility to the outside.
▶ Adjust the rear-view mirror so that vision to the rear is guaranteed.
▶ Ensure that the mirrors are not covered.
▶ Check the tyre inflation pressure.
▶ Check the engine oil, brake fluid and coolant level.
▶ Secure all items of luggage.
▶ Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of the
vehicle.
▶ Close all doors as well as the bonnet and boot lid.
▶ Ensure that no objects can obstruct the pedals.
▶
Protect children in suitable child seats with correctly fastened seat belts
» page 20 , Transporting children safely .
▶ Adopt the correct seated position » page 8, Correct and safe seated posi-
tion . Tell your passengers to assume the correct seated position.
Driving safety
The driver is fully responsible for himself and passengers, especially children. If
your driving safety is effected, you place yourself and the oncoming traffic at
risk.
The following guidelines must therefore be observed. ▶ Do not become distracted from concentrating on the traffic situation, (e.g. by
your passengers or mobile phone calls).
▶ Never drive when your driving ability is impaired, (e.g. due to medication, al-
cohol or drugs).
▶ Keep to the traffic regulations and the permissible speed limit.
▶ Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
▶ Take regular breaks on long journeys (at least every two hours).
The following list contains instructions for the Passenger which, if not ob-
served, may cause serious injuries or death. ▶ Do not lean against the dash panel.
▶ Do not put your feet on the dash panel.
The following list contains instructions for all Passengers which, if not ob-
served, may cause serious injuries or death. ▶ Do not sit only on the front part of the seat.
▶ Do not sit facing to the side.
▶ Do not lean out of the window.
▶ Do not put your limbs out of the window.
▶ Do not put your feet on the seat cushion.

CAUTION
The objects shown in the display can be closer or even further away than they
appear. This is especially the case in the following situations.■
Protruding objects, such as the rear of a truck and the like.
■
When driving from a horizontal surface into a slope or a depression.

Information messages

The assistant for“blind spot monitoring” (following known as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle.
WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 142, in section Introduction .WARNINGThe system has physical and system-related limitations. Therefore, in the
following situations the system can be delayed in drawing attention (or not
at all) to a vehicle in the next land. The responsibility for the lane change
rests with the driver.■
When a vehicle is approaching at a very high speed.
■
When passing through a very sharp curve or a roundabout.
Operation
Fig. 214
Installation of radar sensors
Read and observe on page 177 first.
Using radar sensors and when the speed is above 15 km / h the system moni- tors the area next to and behind the vehicle. At the same time, the distance
and the difference in speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the
monitored area can be measured.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
Radar sensors
The radar sensors (following known as sensors) are located under the rear
bumper » Fig. 214 and are not visible from the outside.
When driving the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognize the specific lane width by means of sensors. Therefore, a warning example may be issued in the following cases.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge, the system
can respond to a vehicle that is not drive directly in the adjacent lane.
▶ When making a turn, the system can respond to a vehicle in a more remote
lane.
▶ The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barri-
ers, noise barriers or similar objects.
WARNING■ If there is an impact, or the rear of the vehicle is damage the sensor may
be damaged or misaligned. This can lead to impaired function of the sensor
- risk of accidents! Have the vehicle checked by a specialist garage.■
The area in front and around the sensor should not be obscured by any
objects. This could lead to impairment of the system function. ■ Remove snow, ice and such obstacles from the area in front of and
around the sensor.
CAUTION
■ In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the system function may be limited - “failure to recognise
a vehicle”.■
Accessories fitted to the rear of the vehicle, such as bicycle carriers, can im-
pair the system function.

If the trailer that is to be towed has a 7-pin connector, you can use a suitable
adapter from ŠKODA Original Accessories to establish a connection to the elec-
tricity.
›
Hook the breakaway cable of the trailer onto the safety eyelet
B
.
The breakaway cable of the trailer must sag in all trailer positions relative to
the vehicle (sharp curves, reverse driving and the like).
Uncoupling takes place in reverse order.
Exterior mirrors
You should have additional exterior mirrors fitted if you are not able to see the
traffic behind the trailer with the standard rear-view mirrors.
Headlights
The front of the vehicle may lift up when a trailer is being towed and the head-
lights may dazzle other road users.
Adjust the headlights using the headlight beam control » page 67, Operating
the lights 1)
.
Power to the trailer power grid
For the electrical connection between the vehicle and trailer, the power for the
trailer power grid is supplied by the vehicle.
The power supply works with ignition on or off.
With the ignition off, the battery of the towing vehicle is discharged by activa-
ted consumers.
At low charge state of the vehicle battery power to the trailer is interrupted.WARNING■ Improperly connected trailer electrical installations may cause accidents
or serious injury due to electric shock.■
Work on the electrical system must only be carried out by specialist ga-
rages.
■
Never directly connect the trailer's electrical system with the electrical
connections for the tail lights or other current sources.
■
After coupling the trailer and connecting up the power socket, check the
rear lights on the trailer to ensure they are working.
■
Never use the safety eyelet for towing!
CAUTION
Improperly connected trailer electrical installations may cause malfunction of
the entire vehicle electronics.
Note
■ The total power consumption of all the connected consumers on the trailer
must not exceed 350 watts.■
Coat the ball head of the towing device with a suitable grease whenever
necessary.
Loading a trailer
Distribution of the cargo
Distribute the cargo in the trailer in such a way that heavy items are located as
close to the trailer axle as possible. Secure the items from slipping.
The distribution of the weight is very poor if your vehicle is unladen and the
trailer is laden. Maintain a particularly low speed if you cannot avoid driving
with this combination.
Tyre pressure
Correct the tyre inflation pressure on your vehicle for a “full load” » page 217.
