Printed Owner's Manual
In the printed Owner's Manual, the most important information relating to ve-
hicle operation is included. The Owner's Manual with further detailed informa- tion is available in the Online Version on ŠKODAweb pages » Fig. 1 on
page 8 .
These Owner´s Manual apply to all body variants of the vehicle and all related
model versions as well as all equipment levels .
This Owner's Manual describes all possible equipment variants without identi-
fying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, this vehicle does not contain all of the equipment com-
ponents described in this Owner's Manual.
The range of equipment installed in your vehicle depends on the purchase
contract for the vehicle. For any questions regarding the scope of equipment,
please contact a ŠKODA Partner.
The Pictures in this Owner's Manual are for illustrative purposes only. The il-
lustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only intended
to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO pursues a policy of ongoing product and model development
with all vehicles. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time
with regard to design, equipment and technology. The information listed in
this Owner's Manual corresponds to the information available at the time of
going to press.
No basis for legal claims may therefore be derived from the technical data, il-
lustrations and information provided in this Owner's Manual.
We recommend that the web pages referred to in this Owner's Manual are dis-
played using the classic view. Not all necessary information may be displayed if
the mobile view is chosen.7Printed Owner's Manual
WARNING■The front seats and all head restraints must be adjusted to match the
body size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to
provide the most effective levels of protection to the passengers.■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 21, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■
The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this
will impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of
injury!
WARNINGBy sitting incorrectly, the occupant is risking life-threatening injuries.
The correct seating position for the driver
Fig. 2
Correct seated position for the driver/correct steering wheel posi-
tion
Read and observe
on page 13 first.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident,
the following instructions must be observed.
Adjust the driver's seat so that the pedals can be fully depressed with
slightly bent legs and the distance between the steering wheel and your
chest is at least 25 cm » Fig. 2 -
A
.
Adjust the seat backrest so that the highest point of the steering wheel
can be reached with your arms at a slight angle.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 16.
WARNING■
A distance of least 25 cm to the steering wheel should be maintained,
otherwise the airbag system will not be able to protect you - hazard!■
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the out-
er edge in the “9 o'clock” and “3 o'clock” position » Fig. 2. Never hold the
steering wheel in the “12 o'clock” position or in any other way (e.g. in the
middle, inner edge of the steering wheel or similar). Otherwise, you could
sustain serious injury to the arms, hands and head if the airbag is activated.
■
Ensure there are no objects in the driver's footwell as they may get be-
hind the pedals while driving. You would then no longer be able to operate
the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.

WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because no fresh air is fed through from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as windows mist up, turn on the re-
circulation system immediately - risk of accident!
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the evapo-
rator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air
conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through consid-
erable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).

Mobile phones and applications
75
The information contained in this section refer to Swing and Blues radio, un-
less it is indicated otherwise.
WARNING■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. the police, ambulances and fire engines, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage.
Note
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.
Mobile phones and applications
Fig. 90
QR code with reference to web
pages for checking the compati-
bility of devices
Read and observe on page 75 first.
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 phones
On the ŠKODApages, check to see if the device is compatible with the selected
mobile phones. This verification is done by reading the QR code » Fig. 90 by
the associated application in the external device (e.g. phone, tablet) or after
typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the large number of mobile phones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
the device unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check func-
tion on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, beforehand.
Only those versions of the selected phones 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 phone to be tested may differ from the same type
of mobile phone depending on the specification for the respective country or
the specific service.
Mobile phones 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 phone may differ with a different operating system ver-
sion compared to the one used with the tested phone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by
the mobile phone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to the device or ve-
hicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or unau-
thorized use of mobile phones.
Applications
Due to the variety of applications and communication systems 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.
The range of available applications and their functionality is dependent on the
device, vehicle and region.
The function of mobile applications can be influenced by the quality of the In-
ternet connection.
Some applications are dependent on the availability of services that are provi-
ded by third parties.75Swing/ Blues Radio
