Safety
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 20, Transporting children safely with a suitable restraint system.
By sitting incorrectly, the occupant is risking life-threatening injuries.
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!
Correct seat position of the driver
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at
the same level as the upper part of your head C » Fig. 2 (not for seats with integrated head restraint).
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 11, Using seat belts.
WARNING
Always assume the correct seated position before setting off and do not change this position while driving. Also advise your passengers to adopt the correct seated position and not to change this position while the car is moving.
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel, and a dis­tance of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dash panel at the height of the knee airbag. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the out­er 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). In such cases, you could severely injure the arms, hands and head when the driver airbag is deployed.
Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell, as these may get caught in the pedal apparatus when driving or braking. You would then no longer be able to operate the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.

Correct seated position for the front passenger
Read and observe on page 9 first.
For passenger safety and to reduce the risk of injury in an accident, the follow­ing instructions must be observed.
Position the front passenger seat back as far as possible. The front pas­senger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel so that the airbag offers the greatest possible safety if it is deployed.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same level as the upper part of your head C » Fig. 2 on page 9 (not for seats with integrated head restraint).
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 11.
In exceptional cases the front passenger airbag can be deactivated
» page 19, Deactivating airbags.
WARNING
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – nev­er place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surface of the seats! You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it be­comes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an air­bag is deployed, you could suffer fatal injuries by adopting an incorrect seated position!
Correct seated position for the passengers in the rear seats
Read and observe on page 9 first.
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or an accident, the occupants on the rear seats must observe the following.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at
the same level as the upper part of the head C » Fig. 2 on page 9.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 11, Using seat belts.
Use a suitable child restraint system if transporting children in the vehicle
» page 20, Transporting children safely.

Safety

Seat belts

Using seat belts

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects: The physical principle of a head-on collision 12
Correct routing of seat belt 12 Fastening and unfastening seat belts 13
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival in the event of a major accident.
Properly fastened seat belts hold occupants to correctly set seats in the right seat position.
Particular safety aspects must be observed when transporting children in the vehicle » page 20.
WARNING
Fasten your seat belt before each journey - even when driving in town!
This also applies to other passengers - there is a danger of injury!
Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated
» page 8, Correct and safe seated position.
The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can lose their effectiveness.
WARNING
Information on the correct routing of the belt
Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Seat belts which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in minor accidents.
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder - on no ac­count across your neck.
WARNING (Continued)
A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your body is moved forward by the kinetic energy produced in an accident and is then suddenly held firm by the belt.
The belt webbing must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. specta­cles, ball-point pens, bunches of keys etc.). Such objects can cause injury.
WARNING
Information on dealing with the safety belts
The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis­ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.
Make sure you do not catch the seat belt in the door when closing it.
WARNING
Information on the proper use of safety belts
No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt to­gether.
The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to protect and the risk of injury increases.
The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked, otherwise the belt tongue will not lock in place properly.
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jack­et) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of the seat belts.
Do not use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for shorten­ing the belts for smaller persons).
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably when the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 85.
WARNING
Information on the care and maintenance of safety belts
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may im­pair proper operation of the inertia reel » page 200.
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at­tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
Seat belts
11
WARNING (Continued)
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If any damage to the seat belts, seat belt connections, inertia reel or the lock is detected, the relevant seat belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.
Damaged seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident and were therefore stretched, must be replaced – this is best done by a specialist garage. The anchorage points of the belts must also be inspec­ted. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.
The physical principle of a head-on collision
Fig. 4 Driver without a fastened seat belt/rear seat passenger without a fastened seat belt
Read and observe on page 11 first.
As soon as the vehicle is moving, so-called kinetic energy (the energy of mo­tion) is produced, both in terms of the car as well as in terms of the occupants.
The magnitude of this kinetic energy depends essentially on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the vehicle including the occupants.
Doubling the speed of the vehicle from 25 km/h up to 50 km/hour increases the kinetic energy four times.
For example, a person's weight of 80 kg “increases” to 4.8 tons (4800 kg) at 50 km/h.
In the event of a frontal collision, occupants of the car not wearing a seat belt are thrown forward and strike parts of the interior of the car, such as the steering wheel, dash panel, windscreen in ways which cannot be controlled
» Fig. 4 - . In certain circumstances you could even be thrown out of the vehi-
cle, which could cause life threatening or even fatal injuries. Rear seat passengers who have not fastened their seat belts are a danger not
only to themselves but also to those seated at the front » Fig. 4 – .
Correct routing of seat belt
Fig. 5
Routing of belt webbing over the shoulders and the lap belt/Rout-
ing of belt webbing for an expectant mother
Fig. 6
Front seat: Seat belt height ad­juster
Read and observe on page 11 first.
It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the maximum protection.
12
Safety
The shoulder part of the seat belt must never run across the neck but must roughly run over the middle of the shoulder and fit snugly against the chest. The lap part of the belt must run across the pelvis, must not be positioned across the stomach and must always fit snugly » Fig. 5 - .
seat belt height adjusters for front seats
The seat belt height adjuster makes it possible to adjust the routing of the front seat belts in the area of the shoulder to the body size.
Press the height adjuster and move to the desired position » Fig. 6.
Then pull firmly on the belt to ensure that the seat belt height adjuster has
correctly locked in place.
Seat belts with pregnant women
Expectant women must also always wear a seat belt. This is the only way of ensuring optimal protection for the unborn child.
With pregnant women, the lap part of the belt must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower abdomen
» Fig. 5 - .
Fastening and unfastening seat belts
Fig. 7 Fastening/unfastening the seat belt
Read and observe on page 11 first.
Before using the seat belts the following conditions must be met.
Correctly set head restraint (not for seats with integrated head restraint).
Correctly adjusted seat (applies for the front seats).
Correctly adjusted steering wheel (applies to the Driver's seat ).
Fasten
Use the lock tongue to slowly pull the webbing over your chest and pelvis.
Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle for the seat » Fig. 7 -  until it
audibly clicks into place. Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.
Release
Release the seat belt only when the vehicle is stationary.
Press the red button in the belt buckle » Fig. 7 - ; the lock tongue pops out.
Manually guide the belt back so that it is easier to fully roll up the webbing,
the seat belt does not twist.
CAUTION
When releasing the seatbelt ensure that the tongue of the lock does not dam­age the door trim or other parts of the interior.

Belt retractors and belt tensioners, reversible seat belts

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Inertia reel 13
Belt tensioners Reversible seat belts
Inertia reel
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel. When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely.
When pulling sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the inertia reel. The belts also lock when full braking, when the car accelerates, when driving downhill and when cornering.
WARNING
If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have it inspected immediately by a specialist garage.
14 14
Seat belts
13
Belt tensioners
The safety for the driver, front passenger and passengers on the outer rear seats who are wearing their seat belts, is enhanced by the belt tensioners fit­ted to the inertia reels on the front and rear external seat belts.
If there is a collision with a certain severity the seat belts are tightened by the belt tensioner so that unwanted body motion is prevented.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor collisions, in the case of a roll-over and also not in accidents in which no major forces are produced.
WARNING
Any work on the belt tensioner system including removal and installation of system components because of other repair work, must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
The protective function of the system is only adequate for a single acci­dent. If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to re­place the entire system.
Note
The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.
Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not an in-
dication of a fire in the vehicle.
Reversible seat belts
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced by reversible seat belts.
Reversible seat belts are automatically tensioned in critical driving situations tightly over the body and then released again.
Further information » page 173, Proactive passenger protection (Crew Protect Assist).

Airbag system

Description of the airbag system

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects: System description 15
Airbag deployment 15
The airbag system supplements the fastened seat belts and provides addition­al occupant protection in severe frontal and side collisions.
The functional status of the airbag system is indicated by the warning light in the instrument cluster » page 35.
WARNING
An airbag can only offer you optimal protection in combination with a
fastened seat belt.
The airbag is not a substitute for the seat belt, but instead forms part of
the complete passive vehicle safety concept.
To ensure passengers are protected with the greatest possible effect when the airbag is deployed, the front seats must be correctly adjusted to match the body size » page 8, Correct and safe seated position.
If you do not fasten the seat belts when driving, lean too far forward or adopt an incorrect seated position, you are exposing yourself to increased risk of injury in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a spe­cialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in the event of an accident.
No modifications of any kind must be made to parts of the airbag system.
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Never make any changes to the front bumper or the bodywork.
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re­sult in the airbag being deployed.
The airbag system must then be replaced if the airbag has been deployed.
14
Safety
System description
Read and observe on page 14 first.
The inflation of the airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second. When the airbags are deployed, they fill with gas and inflate. A grey white or red, non-harmful gas is released when the airbag is inflated.
This is perfectly normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the following parts.
Front airbag for the driver and the front passenger » page 15.
Driver’s knee airbag » page 17.
Side airbags » page 17.
Head airbags » page 18.
Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster » page 35.
Key switch for the front passenger airbag » page 19.
Warning light for the front passenger airbag in the middle of the dash panel
» page 19.
Airbag deployment
Read and observe
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to the airbag system in every situation. An important role is played by factors such as the type of object that the vehicle hits (hard/soft), the impact angle, vehicle speed etc.
A decisive factor for the deployment of the airbags is the deceleration which occurs. If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured during the collision remains below the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit, the airbags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe damage to the bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal collision.
Driver’s front airbag.
Front passenger airbag.
Driver’s knee airbag.
on page 14 first.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision.
Front side airbag on the side of the accident.
Rear side airbag on the side of the accident.
Head airbags on the side of the accident.
When an airbag is deployed, the following events occur.
The interior light comes on (if the automatic operation of the interior light is switched on - switch ).
The hazard warning lights are switched on.
All doors are unlocked.
The fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.
When there is no air bag deployment?
With minor frontal and side collisions, rear collision, overturning of the vehicle or vehicle roll-over there is no airbag deployment.

Never transport children on the front seat of a vehicle without using a proper restraint system. If airbags are deployed in the event of an accident, the child might suffer severe or even fatal injuries!
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat » page 19, Deactivating airbags. If this is not done, there is a risk of the child suffering severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger airbag is deployed.
In the event of a severe frontal collision, the front airbags offer additional pro­tection for the head and chest area of the driver and front passenger.
The driver's front airbag is located in the steering wheel, the front passenger airbag is located in the instrument panel above the glove compartment » Fig. 8
-  . The airbags inflate in front of the driver and front passenger when they are
deployed » Fig. 8 - . The forward movement of the driver and of the front passenger is cushioned when they make contact with the fully inflated airbag and the risk of injury to head and chest is thus reduced.
WARNING
Information on correct seating position
It is important that the driver and front passenger maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel or dashboard A » Fig. 9. Not maintain­ing this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard! The front seats and the head restraints must always also be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occu­pant.
The airbag develops enormous forces when triggered, which can lead to injuries if the sitting position or seated position is not correct.
There must not by any further persons, animals or objects positioned be­tween the front seated occupants and the deployment area of the airbag.
WARNING
General information
The steering wheel and the surface of the airbag module in the dash pan­el on the passenger side must not have stickers attached, be covered or modified in any other way. These parts should only be cleaned with a cloth that is dry or has been moistened with water. No objects (such as cup hold­ers, mobile phone mounts, etc.) are to be attached to the covers of the air­bag modules or be located within their immediate vicinity.
Never place objects on the surface of the front passenger airbag module in the dash panel.
Note
In vehicles with driver's airbag, the text  can be found on the steering
wheel.
In vehicles with front passenger airbag, the text

is located on the dash
panel on the passenger side.

Driver’s knee airbag
Side airbags
Fig. 10 Installation of the airbag / Gas-filled Airbag / Safe distance be­tween the legs and the instrument panel
The driver's knee airbag offers adequate protection for the driver's legs. The driver's knee airbag
A
is located in the lower part of the dash panel below
the steering column » Fig. 10. The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it makes contact with
the fully inflated airbag B and the risk of injury to the legs of the driver is thus reduced.
WARNING
Adjust the driver's seat in a forward/back direction so that there is a gap of at least 10 cm between the legs C and the instrument panel in the vi­cinity of the knee airbag » Fig. 10. If it is not possible to meet this require­ment due to your body size, visit a specialist garage.
The surface of the airbag module in the lower part of the dash panel be­low the steering column not have stickers attached, be covered or modified in any other way. This part should only be cleaned with a cloth that is dry or has been moistened with water. Nothing may be attached to the cover of the airbag module or located within the immediate vicinity.
Do not attach any bulky and heavy objects (bunch of keys etc.) to the igni­tion key. These can be ejected by the knee airbag when it is deployed and can cause injuries.
Note
In vehicles with a driver's knee airbag, a symbol with  is located on the side panel on the driver's side.

WARNING
Information on correct seating position
Your head should never be positioned in the deployment area of the side airbag. You might suffer severe injuries in the event of an accident. This ap­plies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable child safety seat » page 22, Child safety and side airbag.
There must not be any further persons, animals or objects positioned be­tween the occupants and the deployment area of the airbag. No accesso­ries, such as cup holders, should be attached to the doors.
If children adopt an incorrect seated position when travelling, they may be exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. This can result in serious injuries » page 20, Child seat.
WARNING
Do not place any objects within the deployment area of the side airbags – risk of injury!
The airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Further informa­tion » page 192, Airbags.
Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent knocks, kicks etc., impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise the system may be damaged. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen­ger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by ŠKODA. In view of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use of non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the pro­tective function of the side airbag.
Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag mod­ule must be repaired immediately by a specialist garage.
The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any damage, cracks or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force in order to open the modules.
Note
In vehicles with side airbags a label with the text  is located on the front
seat backrests.
In vehicles with rear side airbags, the word AIRBAG is located between the
entrance area and the rear seat rest

.
Head airbags
Fig. 13 Location of the head airbag/gas-filled head airbag
In the event of a severe side collision, the head airbags offer additional protec­tion for the head and neck area of passengers.
The head airbags are positioned above the doors on both sides of the vehicle interior » Fig. 13 - .
When deployed, the airbag covers the window area of the front and rear doors, as well as the area of the door pillar » Fig. 13 - .
Head impact with interior parts is reduced by the inflated head airbag. The re­duction in any impact to the head and the resultant minimizing of any move­ments of the head additionally reduce the risk of injuries to the neck area.
WARNING
There must not be any objects in the deployment area of the head air-
bags which might prevent the airbags from inflating properly.
Only hang light items of clothing on the hooks fitted in the vehicle. Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets of the items of clothing. Additionally, clothes hangers must not be used to hang up items of clothing.
The installation of impermissible accessories in the vicinity of the head airbags can considerably impair the protection offered by the head airbag in the event of it being deployed. When the deployed head airbag is inflated, parts of the accessories fitted could, conditions permitting, be thrown into the interior of the car and injure the occupants » page 190.
18
Safety
WARNING (Continued)
When objects are attached to the sun visor, the visor can not be pivoted to the side windows. This might result in injuries to the occupants if the head airbag is deployed.
There must not be any further persons, animals or objects positioned be­tween the occupants and the deployment area of the airbag. In addition, none of the occupants should lean their head out of the window when driv­ing, or extend their arms and hands out of the window.
Note
In vehicles with head airbags, the lettering  can be seen on the B-column cladding.

Child seat

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat 21
Use of the child seat in the front passenger seat 22 Child safety and side airbag 22 Classification of child seats 22 Use of child seats fastened with a seat belt 23
To avoid serious injury or death children are always to be in an appropriate child safety seat with regards to height, weight, and age.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport child seats on the rear seats.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard are identified with a test mark that cannot be removed: a large letter E inside the circle, with the test number beneath it.
With child safety seats in groups 2 and 3, make sure that the loop-around fit­tings attached to the child seat headrest is positioned in front of or at the same height as the loop-around fittings on the B pillar on the passenger side.
WARNING
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Certain outside climatic
conditions can cause life-threatening temperatures in the vehicle.
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Other­wise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an acci­dent, causing fatal injuries to both the child and other occupants.
20
Safety
WARNING (Continued)
Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci­dent if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe, or even fatal injuries if the airbag system is deployed!
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in mi­nor accidents.
Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are running properly. One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fit­tings.
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Further information » page 21, Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat.
When installing the child seat on the back seat, the corresponding front seat must be adjusted so that there is no contact between the front seat and the child seat or the child being transported in a child seat.
Before installing a forward-facing child seat with backrest, remove the headrest » page 87. After removing the child seat, refit the head re­straints.
Note
We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories. These child seats were developed and also tested for use in ŠKODA vehicles. They meet the ECE-R 44 standard.

Never use a rear-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protected by an active airbag positioned in front of it. This could cause serious or fatal in­jury to the child.
The following instructions must be followed when using a child seat on the front passenger seat.
The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing child seat » .
If possible, adjust the front passenger seat backrest so that it is as vertical, so as to ensure secure contact between the passenger seat backrest and the back of the child seat.
If possible, move the front passenger seat backwards so that there is no con­tact between the front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as possible.
When using a child seat where there is a height adjuster in the upper area, the height of the passenger seat belt is to be set so that the belt is not “kinked” in the height adjuster. In the event of an accident, there is the risk of injury to the neck of the child carried due to the seat belt!
