WARNING■
The seat backrests in the occupied rear seats must be properly engaged.■When transporting objects in the luggage compartment that has been en-
larged by folding the backrest forward, ensure the safety of the passengers
transported on the other rear seats.■
The seat backrests must be securely latched in position so that no ob-
jects from the luggage compartment can slip into the passenger compart-
ment under sudden braking – risk of injury.
CAUTION
When operating the seat backrests, the seat belts must not be pinched - there
is a risk of damage to the seat belts.

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in centre-of-gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted ac-
cordingly.
When transporting cargo the following the instructions must be adhered to
▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or securing nets so that they can-
not slip.
▶ Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶ Tyre pressure is to match the load.
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.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the boot 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.WARNING■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. Heavy objects were not secured sufficiently – risk of injury!■
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle – risk of accident!
■
An unfixed or improperly fixed load can slip during a sudden manoeuvre
or an accident - danger of injury!
■
Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of
death!
■
When transporting loads 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 .
CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,
nets, hooks etc. - these could be damaged.■
Make sure that the heating elements of the rear window heater, the ele-
ments of the integrated aerial in the rear window or in the rear side windows
are not damaged by abrasive items.
■
Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-
gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the com-
partments.
■
Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and not load these
punctiform - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there could be an accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.

Infotainment
Introductory information
Important information
Introduction to the subject
WARNING■Only use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle
in every traffic situation (e.g. Do not write text messages while driving, do
not couple or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do
not enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Other-
wise there is a risk of an accident!■
Always route the connection cable of the external device in such a way
that it does not restrict you when driving.
WARNING■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emergency vehicles, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
CAUTION
In some countries, some Infotainment features can no longer be selected
when the vehicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunc-
tion, but complies with the national legal regulations.
Mobile telephones and applications
Fig. 157
QR code with reference to web
pages for checking the compati-
bility of devices
The availability of some of the functions described in this Owner's Manual
depends on the type of device to be connected and the applications installed
in it.
Mobile telephones
On the ŠKODA pages, check to see if Infotainment is compatible with the se-
lected mobile telephones. This check takes place by reading the QR code
» Fig. 157 or after typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the multitude of mobile telephones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
Infotainment unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check
the function on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, before-
hand.
Only those versions of the selected telephones will be tested and supported
which originate from the official distribution network. The same also applies to
their firmware and software.
The functions of the mobile telephone to be tested may differ from the same
type of mobile telephone depending on the specification for the respective
country or the specific service.
Mobile telephones with the operating system and in the version available at
the time of these tests will be tested. In this regard, it could be the case that
the functions of a mobile telephone may differ with a different operating sys-
tem version compared to the one used with the tested telephone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by the mobile telephone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to Infotainment or
the vehicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or
unauthorized use of mobile telephones.
Applications
Applications can be installed in external devices (e.g. Mobile, tablet) making it
possible to display additional information in the Infotainment screen or to op-
erate Infotainment.
Due to the variety of applications as well as their ongoing development, the
available applications may not work in all external devices. ŠKODA AUTO can
accept no liability for their proper function.
Applications, their use and the required data connection may be chargeable. 121Introductory information
