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.

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
Page 14
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
Page 15
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
Page 16
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.
■

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.

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.

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.

WARNING
Front airbag and transporting children
■
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.

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
Page 21
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.

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
Page 23
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.

Overview
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum permitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolution counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the optimum engine speed » page 42.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time there is a risk of engine damage!

Coolant temperature gauge
Read and observe on page 28 first.
The display » Fig. 24 provides information on the engine coolant temperature.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle
and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale A » Fig. 24.
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high.
CAUTION
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

Fuel gauge
Read and observe on page 28 first.
The display » Fig. 25 provides information on the fuel supply in the container.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 66 litres.
When the fuel level reaches the reserve area A » Fig. 25, the warning light
» page 36 illuminates.
WARNING
For the vehicle systems to function correctly, and thus for safe driving,
there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drain the fuel tank com-
pletely – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine and the exhaust system.
Note
■
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous
curves, braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates approx. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the
fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.
■
The arrow next to the icon within the fuel gauge displays the installation
location of the fuel filler on the right-hand side of the vehicle.

WARNING
■
Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.
■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
CAUTION
■
As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.
■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the combustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

the function or its reliability.
Xenon headlight
Read and observe on page 67 first.
The xenon headlight (hereinafter referred as system) ensures that the roads
are illuminated independent of the traffic and weather conditions.
The system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle based
on the driving information (such as vehicle speed and loading situation, use of
the windscreen wipers, selected driving profile, vehicle position according to
the data from Infotainment navigation).
The system works as long as the light switch is in position
The system operates automatically in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam.
City mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that it also illuminates
the adjacent pavements, crossings, pedestrian crossings etc. The mode is active at a speed of 15-50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can respond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode is active at
speeds above 110 km/h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can reduce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 50 – 90 km/h and if the windscreen wipers
continuously operate for a period of time longer than about 2 minutes. The deactivation of the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the wiper.

Fog mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver is not
dazzled by the reflection of the cone of light by fog in front of the vehicle.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the rear fog light is switched on for a period of time longer than about 10 seconds. The deactivation of
the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the rear fog lights.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all System modes.
travel mode
If the travel mode is activated, there is no automatic cone of light adaptation
in front of the vehicle.
The travel mode can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment » Owner´s
Manual Infotainment, chapter CAR - vehicle settings.
Economy mode
When the Eco driving mode » page 171 is activated the system is in Economy
mode and there is no direction dependent light cone adaptation in front of the
vehicle.
WARNING
If there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.

Windscreen wipers and washers
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers 78
Headlight cleaning system 78
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed.
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
▶
Switch on the windscreen wipers.
▶
Switch off the ignition.
CAUTION
■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
■
Carefully peel frozen wiper blades off the pane.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
the windscreen.
■
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. The wiper stops automatically after 5 attempts to eliminate the obstacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Remove the obstacle and
switch the wiper on again.
Note
■
Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers.
■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C.

30 or 10 seconds if the vehicle's speed exceeds 5 km/h.
If automatic windscreen wiping in rain is activated (the operating lever is in the
position 1) the function is only active if the windscreen wipers operate in
continuous mode (no break between each wiping process).
The automatic rear wiper can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment
» Owner´s Manual Infotainment, chapter CAR - vehicle settings.
WARNING
Automatic wiping during rain is only a support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manually depending on the visibility conditions.
Note
■
If the operating lever is in the position 2 or 3 and the speed of the vehicle
drops below 4 km / h, the wiping speed is reduced. The original wiping speed is
restored step by step when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 8 km/h.
■
The rear window is wiped once automatically if the windscreen wipers are on
when reverse gear is selected.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming 79
Exterior mirrors 80
WARNING
■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNING
The mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.
■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath apparatus.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.
