Correct and safe
Introductory notes for correct use
Read this Owner's Manual carefully, as proceeding
▶
in accordance with this manual is a prerequisite for
the correct use of the vehicle. This Owner's Manual
should therefore always be in the vehicle.
When using the vehicle, the generally binding legal
▶
provisions that are specific to the country must be
observed. Such as those for transporting children,
switching o airbags, using tyres, road trac and
the like.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible weights
▶
and loads.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible roof load.
▶
Use the specified fuel and operating fluids.
▶
Drive on roads that meet the technical vehicle pa-
▶
rameters. Obstacles that exceed the ground clearance of the vehicle can damage the vehicle when
driving over them.
Care must be taken during operations related to
▶
operation, maintenance and self-help to avoid
damage to the vehicle or injury. If required, seek
the help of a specialised garage.
All work on the vehicles and safety systems e.g. on
▶
the seatbelts or the airbag system, may only be
carried out by a specialist garage.
When using accessories, please note the instruc-
▶
tions in the accessory manufacturer’s instruction
manual. These include child seats, roof racks, compressors etc.
Please note the service intervals.
▶
Regular checks
What should be taken into account before driving?
A vehicle with technical defects can increase the risk
of accidents and injuries.
Eliminate any defects before driving. If required,
seek the help of a specialised garage.
Pay special attention to the following points.
Is the tyre undamaged?
▶
Is the tyre tread sucient?
▶
Is the tyre pressure sucient?
▶
Do the headlamps, brake and turn signals work?
▶
Is the windscreen in good condition?
▶
Is the engine oil, brake fluid and coolant level OK?
▶
Is the air intake in the engine compartment free
▶
from obstruction?
Are the air outlet nozzles or air intake in front of
▶
the windscreen free from obstruction?
Are the windscreen wiper and washer system and
▶
windscreen wiper blades functional?
Is the windscreen washer fluid level sucient?
▶
Are the windscreen wiper blades in good condi-
▶
tion?
Are all seatbelt system components in good work-
▶
ing order? Are the seatbelts clean and have the
buckles been unclogged?
Is the spoiler working properly?
▶
Are parts and components of the vehicle still visi-
▶
bly attached?
Are there no oil stains or other operating fluids un-
▶
der the vehicle?
New vehicle or new parts
New vehicle - Running in the engine
Driving style during the first 1500 km determines the
quality of the engine run-in process.
During the first 1000 km, rev the engine to max.
▶
3/4 of the highest permissible engine speed and
avoid using a trailer.
Over the next 500 km, the engine speed can be
▶
slowly increased.
Depending on driving style and operating conditions,
the engine consumes some oil, up to 0.5 l / 1000 km.
Consumption may be higher over the next 5000 km.
New brake pads
New brake pads do not provide the optimum braking
eect during the first 200 km, they have to be worn
in first. Therefore, drive very carefully.
New tyres
New tyres do not have optimum grip for the first
500 km. Therefore, drive very carefully.
No improper vehicle adjustments
Improper modifications can cause interference and
aect safety-related functions and other functions
of the vehicle.
Adjustments and technical modifications to the ve-
▶
hicle should only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Do not cover the engine with additional insulation
▶
materials, e.g. a blanket.
Keeping sensors and cameras in working order
Some functions of your vehicle are supported by
sensors and cameras inside and outside the vehicle.
The rear-mounted accessories, e.g. bike rack, may
aect system and camera functionality.
Do not cover or put a sticker over the sensors and
▶
cameras and keep them clean.
Correct and safe › Engine compartment
13
If there is damage suspected to the sensors or
▶
cameras, seek the help of a specialist garage.
Engine compartment
Before opening the engine compartment flap
Risk of scalding! Do not open the engine compartment flap if steam or coolant comes out of the engine compartment.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
▶
Remove the ignition key. On vehicles with a key-
▶
less unlocking system, open the driver's door.
When working in the engine compartment
Keep children away from the engine compartment.
▶
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan can
▶
turn itself on, even when the ignition is o.
Do not touch electrical cables. Avoid short circuits
▶
in the electrical system, especially on the vehicle
battery.
Do not smoke near the engine and refrain from
▶
handling open flames or sparks.
If you need to work in the engine compartment
▶
with the engine running, be mindful of rotating engine parts and electrical equipment.
Do not leave any objects in the engine compart-
▶
ment.
Handling operating fluids
Your vehicle needs various fuels to operate that can
aect health or the environment when they are
emitted. These include fuel, oils, battery acid, coolant
and brake fluid.
Only use operating fluids outdoors or in well-venti-
▶
lated areas. If required, wear protective equipment.
Do not use or check operating fluids with the en-
▶
gine running.
In the event of contact with operating fluids, wash
▶
aected areas with warm water. If required, seek
medical help.
The leaked engine oil in the engine compartment
▶
can cause a fire, so wipe it o with a cloth.
Store soiled cloths in a well-ventilated area until
▶
disposal. Cloths with residues of engine oil can ignite and cause a fire.
Vehicle battery
Handling the vehicle battery
Battery acid is highly corrosive. Improper handling of
the vehicle battery can cause an explosion, fire,
chemical burns or poisoning!
When handling the vehicle battery, eye and skin
▶
protection must be worn.
Do not tilt the vehicle battery, as it may leak bat-
▶
tery acid.
If battery acid comes into contact with skin, wash
▶
the aected areas with water for a few minutes.
Get medical help without delay.
Do not charge a frozen or thawed vehicle battery.
▶
Replace a frozen vehicle battery.
Do not use a damaged vehicle battery.
▶
Short circuit! Do not connect the battery terminals.
▶
Using electrical sockets in the vehicle
Improper handling of sockets can lead to life-threatening electric shock or fire.
The sockets may get hot during operation. Do not
▶
touch hot sockets.
Protect sockets from liquids.
▶
If moisture gets into the socket, let the socket dry
▶
before reusing it.
Do not insert any objects into the socket contacts.
▶
Before your journey
Adults and children, cargo and objects - everything
has its place in the vehicle. Observe the following instructions so that all occupants are protected in the
best possible way in the event of an accident.
Before you go
Ensure that you have a good view of outside the
▶
vehicle.
Adjust the rearview mirrors.
▶
Close all doors and the engine compartment and
▶
boot flap.
Take the correct seating position and put on the
▶
seatbelt properly. Ensure that passengers do likewise. Always leave the seatbelt on while driving.
Only one person can be secured with a seatbelt.
▶
Make sure that the seatbelts are not trapped, e.g.
▶
in the door or in the seat.
Check seatbelts, their locks and attachment points
▶
for damage.
Sitting safely
For the safety of the occupants and to reduce the
risk of injury in the event of an accident, the following instructions must be observed.
Stand the backrests upright. If the front passenger
▶
seat backrest has been folded forward, only the
seat behind the driver's seat may be used for transporting passengers.
Engage the rear seat backrests correctly.
▶
Adjust the height-adjustable headrest so that the
▶
top of the headrest is as close as possible to the
top of the head.
14
Correct and safe › Before your journey
Keep your feet in the footwell.
▶
Use the entire seat.
▶
Do not lean forward or sit to the side.
▶
Do not hold your limbs out the window.
▶
Adjust the driver's seat
›
in the longitudinal direction so that the
pedals can be fully
pushed through with
slightly bent legs.
Adjust the steering
›
wheel so that the distance
A between the
steering wheel and
sternum is at least 25
cm.
Adjust the angle of the backrest so that the steer-
›
ing wheel can be reached at the top with your arms
slightly bent.
Move the passenger seat back as far as possible.
›
The front passenger must maintain a minimum distance of 25 cm from the dash panel.
Correct belt webbing arrangement
The webbing arrangement is extremely important for the seatbelts to
oer the best possible
protection.
The shoulder belt part
▶
must run over the middle of the shoulder and
rest firmly on the body.
The lap belt part must
▶
be placed in front of the pelvis and fit tightly.
In pregnant women, the lap belt part must be as
▶
low as possible on the pelvis, so that no pressure is
exercised on the abdomen.
The webbing must not be pinched or twisted and
▶
rub against sharp edges.
The tongue may only be inserted into the buckle of
▶
the associated seat.
The webbing must be tight. Therefore, do not at-
▶
tach clamps or similar items to the webbing for adjusting the seatbelt according to body size.
Correct steering wheel position
Hold the steering
▶
wheel with both hands
on the outer edge in
the "9 o'clock" and "3
o'clock" position. Otherwise, you may experience serious injury to
the arms, hands and
head when deploying
the airbag.
Be mindful of the eect of the airbag system
Airbag systems can only properly protect if all occupants have been secured and they are in the correct
seating position.
No persons, animals or objects such as cup holders
may be in the deployment area of the airbags » page 33.
Do not cover or stick anything over the steering
▶
wheel or the dash panel. The front airbags were
not able to deploy.
The front passenger airbag should be switched o in
some situations » page 34.
Securing children properly
Do not carry a child on your lap, and secure the
▶
child and yourself with a seatbelt.
Only transport children in a suitable child
▶
seat » page 31.
Children under 150 cm tall will not be properly protected without a child seat. Children that have been
inadequately secured can be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an accident or a sudden manoeuvre. You can cause life-threatening injuries to
yourself and other occupants.
If children lean forward or assume a wrong sitting
position while driving, they are more likely to be injured in the event of an accident. This is especially
true for children who are carried in the passenger
seat - when the airbag system triggers, they can be
seriously injured or killed!
A child that has been incorrectly secured in the
wrong sitting position - endangered by the side
airbag
The child should not be
in the deployment area
of the side airbag.
Correct and safe › Safe driving
15
A child that has been properly secured in a child
seat
There must be enough
room between the child
and the exit area of the
side airbag for the side
airbag to oer the best
possible protection.
Transporting objects safely
When moving heavy objects, there is a shift in emphasis. Thus, the driving behaviour of the vehicle
changes.
Adjust driving speed and driving style to this
▶
changed driving behaviour.
Unsecured or misplaced items may be thrown
around in the event of an accident or sudden manoeuvre. There is a risk of serious injury and loss of
control of the vehicle!
In a rear-end collision at 50 km/h unsecured objects
are thrown forward with up to 50 times their weight.
A 1.5 litre water bottle is thrown up to 75 kg.
Transport objects securely.
▶
Stow objects so they do not hinder the driver.
▶
Keep the driver footwell clear.
Stow small items in the storage compartments.
▶
Do not leave lockable storage compartments open.
▶
Do not let items protrude out of the slots. This
▶
note does not apply to bottles in bottle trays.
Do not place any objects on the dash panel or on
▶
the luggage compartment cover.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible load of
▶
fasteners and shelves.
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compart-
▶
ment and fasten it so it cannot slip.
Place heavy objects in the luggage compartment
▶
as far forward as possible.
Safe driving
Introductory notes
Pay attention when you are driving! As a driver, you
▶
are fully responsible for road safety.
Always adjust driving speed to the road conditions
▶
as well as the trac and weather conditions.
Paying attention to warning signals
The driver information system warns you with indicator lights and messages in the event of any faults.
Failure to follow the warnings may increase the risk
of accidents and injuries.
If the vehicle issues a warning signal, then park the
▶
vehicle safely and follow the information in the instrument cluster, and in this manual.
Using assistance systems in a clever way
The assistance systems are only for support and do
not absolve you from your responsibility for driving
the vehicle.
The assistance systems are subject to physical and
technical limitations. Therefore, in certain situations,
system reactions may be perceived as undesirable or
delayed.
Stay alert and be ready to intervene.
▶
Familiarise yourself with the assistance systems,
▶
their limitations and operating conditions.
Activate, deactivate and adjust the assistance sys-
▶
tems so that you have full control of the vehicle in
any trac situation.
Driving with a substitute spare wheel or emergency wheel
A substitute spare wheel or emergency wheel is only
used to reach the nearest specialist garage.
Inflate the wheel with the max. prescribed inflation
▶
pressure.
Follow the instructions on the warning label on the
▶
rim.
Do not cover the warning sign.
▶
Avoid full accelerations, strong braking and fast
▶
cornering.
Do not drive with more than one mounted spare
▶
wheel.
Avoid using snow chains on the temporary spare
▶
wheel.
Driving with a loaded roof rack
When transporting objects on the roof rack, the vehicle’s driving behaviour changes.
Adapt your speed and driving style to this.
▶
Towing a trailer
The vehicles handling characteristics change with a
trailer. The assistance systems may behave dierent-
ly.
Drive more slowly, excessive speed can lead to loss
▶
of control of the vehicle.
Keep a larger distance from the vehicle in front.
▶
Do not exceed the max. vertical load and the per-
▶
missible trailer load.
Driving through water
There must be no water ingress into the vehicle systems e.g. into the engine’s air intake system!
Therefore, determine the water depth before driv-
▶
ing through water. The water level must not exceed the lower edge of the lower beam.
16
Correct and safe › Emergency call
Drive at max. walking speed. Otherwise, a wave
▶
may form in front of the vehicle, increasing the water level.
Never stop in the water, do not drive backwards
▶
and never stop the engine.
Vehicle operation in dierent weather conditions
If you wish to operate your vehicle in countries with
dierent weather conditions from those specified,
please contact a ŠKODA Partner. They will advise
you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure
the full functioning of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant, battery replacement, etc.).
Is something wrong?
Pay attention to changes in vehicle handling.
▶
If in doubt about safety, stop driving and seek the
▶
help of a specialist garage.
Unusual vibrations or the vehicle ‘pulling’ to the
▶
side may indicate a puncture.
If tyre pressure loss is very quick, try to stop the
▶
vehicle carefully without heavy steering or heavy
braking.
Immediately remove foreign bodies stuck in the
▶
tyre tread.
Do not remove foreign objects that have penetra-
▶
ted into the tyre. Check the tyre pressure and seek
the help of a specialised garage.
Immediately remove any objects jammed under
▶
the floor of the vehicle. These can damage the vehicle or ignite and cause a fire.
Parking the vehicle safely
A vehicle that has not been secured may roll away
and cause accidents.
For parking, look for a place with suitable ground.
▶
Do not park the vehicle on flammable materials
such as dried leaves, spilt fuel. Hot vehicle parts
can cause a fire.
Carry out the following activities in the specified order when parking.
Stop the vehicle and keep the brake pedal de-
›
pressed.
Secure the vehicle with the parking brake.
›
For vehicles with an automatic gearbox, put the se-
›
lector lever in the

1st gear or reverse gear.
Release the brake pedal.
›
Exiting the vehicle
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle!
Children may injure themselves when handling the
▶
seats, releasing the parking brake etc.
In emergency situations, children are not able to
▶
leave the vehicle on their own or help themselves.
At very high or very low temperatures, there is
▶
danger to life!
When locking the vehicle, the SAFE function
▶
switches on. As a result, no doors or windows can
be opened from the inside. Turn o the SAFE function if people are left behind in the locked vehicle » page 18.

What you should be mindful of
Force limiter
To reduce the risk of pinch injuries when closing the
windows, the vehicle has a force limiter.
If there is an obstacle, the window closing process is
stopped and the pane retracts by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the it from being closed for
the next 10 seconds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within
10 seconds of the window being moved down for
the second time, even though the obstacle was not
yet been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time, it is not possible to automatically close the windows by pulling the button all the
way. The force limiter is, however, switched on.
The force limiter is only not operational if you attempt to close the window again within the next
10 seconds – the window will now close with full
force! If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force
limiter is switched on again.
