Do you have a car that’s 10 years old that you’ve owned for a minimum of 12 months? If the
answer’s yes, then you could be eligible for the Government’s scrappage scheme - which could
get you great savings off the price of a new
Škoda. Why not take a look at our website
(www.skoda.co.uk/scrappage) for further details and terms and conditions.
Welcome to the
Škoda Roomster
Ground breaking practicality and comfort form the basis of this
forward-thinking MPV which really did break the mould.
Why not take a minute to understand exactly how the
Roomster can make you a happy driver?
Space
The Roomster’s boot can hold 450 litres with the rear
seats up. That’s an impressive amount of space for a
small MPV, but not as impressive as the 1,780 litres of
space you get when you remove the “Varioflex” seats
altogether. And with other intelligent storage solutions
such as the double glovebox and the 1.5 litre bottle
holder, in Roomster, all the space is maximised.
Modular Design:
The Driving Room
The design of the Roomster provides two distinct
areas; the “Driving Room” and the “Living Room”.
Each area has been designed to make sure you are
comfortable and enjoy the ride. Unlike other MPVs,
the position of the seats and the steering wheel has
been designed to make you feel like you are driving
a conventional hatchback, so you won’t have to
compromise on your driving fun!
Modular Design:
The Living Room
The “Living Room” offers its passengers a large,
comfortable, airy, light and flexible space. The rear
seats are slightly higher than the front and together
with the deeper rear windows offer a great view.
And of course, there’s also the huge flexibility
given by the “Varioflex” seating.
Varioflex seatingŠkoda AssistanceRoomster Scout
Offering over 20 different seat configurations,
the “Varioflex” system ensures you can arrange
the “Living Room” to suit your needs. Taking the kids
on a day trip? Leave the seats in. Only got two kids?
Take the centre seat out. Need to take the rubbish to
the dump? Take all the seats out so you can do it in
one go. Going cycling? Take one seat out to make
some room... we could go on and on!
Every Škoda is covered by Škoda Roadside Assistance.
So if you break down, even if you’re on holiday or on
business in Europe, you can use the freephone
number to call someone to come and help you.
Best of all it’s completely free for 3 years.
Fancy something a little different? The Scout offers
the Roomster in a more rugged, adventurous skin.
With Scout floor mats, Scout upholstery and Scout
body mouldings, all the practicality of the Roomster
has been packaged into a more robust, stylised look.
And with great specification, the Scout gives both
comfort and style to go with its practicality.
So you’ve read a little about some of the Roomster’s features, but what else do you need to know
about the Roomster?
Since the conception of the Škoda brand in 1895, the requirements of the modern day driver have evolved.
With this evolution, Škoda’s designs have evolved too, and nowhere is this more apparent than with the
Roomster. This small MPV has practicality at its core; focusing in particular on the experience of the driver
and the passengers.
By splitting the areas of the Roomster in two, the needs of all travellers have been taken into consideration.
After all, what other vehicle do you know of that has thought about the passenger view in its design?
Thanks to this, the rear seats are slightly raised so that the passengers have views through the large windows.
And of course there’s the multitude of seating arrangements offered by the “Varioflex” seating.
The range has both petrol and diesel engines across 3 different trim levels, with a petrol automatic also
available. The Roomster family is topped off by the Scout, adding a rugged style to the Roomster.
So now the introduction’s over, why not have a look at the Roomster in a little more detail?
Škoda really does
manufacture happy drivers.
What does being a happy driver mean to you?
Here at Škoda, our goal is to ensure that anyone
who experiences a Škoda has a happy experience.
Right from the design stage, through the buying
experience, to the after sales service, we want our
customers to be happy with their Škoda vehicle.
The happiness of our customers is central to all we
do here at Škoda, and that’s no empty claim - we’ve
been in the top 5 of the JD Power customer
satisfaction survey for the last 14 years! Don’t take
our word for it though, come into a showroom and
experience this for yourself.

The Roomster has been designed with both the driver and passengers in mind. The interior is split between the ‘Driving Room’ and the ‘Living Room’. The ‘Living Room’ is
characterised by the revolutionary ‘Varioflex’ seating system.
The ‘Varioflex’ seating provides a flexible and functional array of seat positions. The outer seats are able to slide backwards and forwards and recline, whilst the middle seat folds
down to create an additional armrest and convenient table and drinks holders (table and drinks holders standard on SE, & Scout).
The ‘Varioflex’ seating has over 20 different seat combinations. All seats can individually be folded down, lifted up and secured behind the front seats or removed completely.
The centre seat can be removed and the two outer seats pushed inwards to create a more spacious two seat ‘Living Room’. All 3 seats can be removed quickly and easily to
create an enormous flat loadspace with a volume of 1,780 litres
1,780 litres represents a space large enough to hold a small flock of sheep, goats or one concrete block from the Hoover dam! (Source - AQA)

Technical glossary
ABS: the anti-lock braking system
prevents the wheels from locking during
heavy or emergency braking, enabling the
vehicle to remain steerable. When braking,
wheel speed sensors measure the road
wheel speed and should one or more
wheels start to lock the system reduces
brake pressure to that wheel.
MSR: the engine torque control system
recognises when the wheels are subject
to too much slippage and regulates the
power supply by intervening in the engine
management system. This prevents
wheelspin when, for example, changing
down on a smooth or wet road surface.
MSR is a constituent part of the
ASR system.
EDL: the electronic differential lock
continually compares the rpm of the
drive wheels, and if it identifies a
difference between them which could
lead to an individual wheel spinning,
for example if the two wheels are on
different types of surface or accelerating
on wet leaves, the system brakes the
wheel affected until uniform rpm of
all drive wheels is restored.
MBA: the mechanical brake assist
system increases brake effort under
emergency braking conditions through
a dual rate servo.
ASR: anti-slip regulation traction control
ensures the Roomster’s stability when
pulling away or accelerating. If the engine
power or torque being transmitted to the
drive wheels is too great, for example on
a slippery road surface, engine torque is
automatically reduced until optimum
road-holding returns, thus preventing
wheelspin. A light indicates whether the
ASR system is on. It can be manually
switched off.
ESP: electronic stability programme
is designed to stabilise the dynamic
handling response of the vehicle by
counteracting any tendency towards
oversteer or understeer. The ESP
constantly compares the actual
movement of the vehicle with
predetermined values and according
to the situation ESP reacts by braking
each wheel individually (according to
direction of slip) and automatically
adjusting the engine’s output.
CAN Bus: the CAN Bus is an electronic
data bus which links the various different
electronic control systems in the car.
It ensures ideal co-ordination between
systems and reduces the amount of
wiring needed in the car.
The CAN Bus system (described above)
requires a new generation of towing
electrical adapters and the Roomster
utilises a 13-pin European System.
This can then be easily converted to a
single 7 pin socket for users with a trailer.
For users with Caravans a number of
options are available depending on the
need for a fixed/detachable Towbar, ability
to use reversing sensors and age of
Caravan. A number of different 13 Pin to
Twin 7 pin adapters are available - please
ask your retailer for more information.
Fuel cut-out: should one or more of
the airbags inflate after an accident,
this system automatically cuts out the
fuel supply, thus preventing subsequent
leakage of the diesel or petrol.
Trip Computer: the Trip computer not
only features an impressive range of data
displays, operating it is simplicity itself.
A multi-function touch key enables you
to call up all relevant data on the easy-toread display. Features include external
temperature, time, current fuel
consumption, average fuel consumption,
miles driven and average speed.
DPF: diesel particulate filter is part
of the exhaust system responsible for
cleaning the engine exhaust gases before
they enter the atmosphere. The DPF
catches soot particles emitted in the
exhaust gas and it works in conjunction
with the catalytic converter, which reduces
the amount of harmful gases entering the
atmosphere. The DPF must periodically
be emptied of the soot particles, a process
known as regeneration. This involves
elevated exhaust system temperatures.
A driving style is required during
regeneration, where a constant vehicle
speed above 37 mph must be maintained.
This does not always suit customers who
make frequent short journeys or
experience stop/start driving or drive
within inner-city or urban areas
HBA: Hydraulic Brake Assistant - speeds
up the brake effect in case of hard braking.
