
Do not place any footmats or other additional floor coverings in the area of
the pedals in order to ensure that all the pedals can be fully depressed and are
able to return unobstructed to their initial position - risk of accident!

There must be no objects on the floor which could roll under the pedals. You
would then no longer be able to apply the brakes, operate the clutch or acceler-
ator - risk of accident!
luggage compartmentLoading the luggage compartmentPlease observe the following in the interest of having good handling characteristics of
your vehicle:
– Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible.
– Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
– Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or the fixing net* page 79.
In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced by
small and light objects that they can cause se vere injuries. The magnitude of the kinetic
energy depends on the speed at which the vehi cle is travelling and on the weight of the
object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this case the more significant
factor.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an ener gy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can imagine the inju-
ries that can occur, if this “bullet” is fl ying through the interior compartment and hits
an occupant.
WARNING

Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes, e.g. with the fixing nets.

Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an a ccident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are flying
around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are thrown
back can injure the occupants - hazard.

Please note that the handling properti es of your vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as a result of the displacement of the centre of
gravity. The speed and style of driv ing must be adjusted accordingly.

The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stowed in such a
way that no objects are able to slip forward if there are any sudden driving or
braking manoeuvres undertaken - risk of injury!

Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!

On no account exceed the permissible axle loads and the permissible gross
weight of the vehicle - risk of accident!

Never transport occupants in the luggage compartment!Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load page 216.Vehicles of category N1On vehicles of the category N1, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing
set which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening the
load.

Transporting children safely
156
Transporting children safelyWhat you should know ab out transporting children!An introduction to the subject
Accident statistics have revealed that children are generally more safely
transported on the rear seats than on the front passenger seat.Children younger than 12 years of age should normally travel on the rear seat of the
vehicle (take note of any national legal provis ions which differ from this). They should
be secured there by means of a child restraint system or by using the existing seat belts
depending on their age, body size and we ight. The child seat should be mounted
behind the front passenger seat for safety reasons.
The physical principle of an accident does, of course, also apply to children
 page 141, “The physical principle of a fronta l collision”. They differ from adults in
that their muscles and bone structure of children are not yet fully developed. Thus chil-
dren are exposed to increased risk of injury.
Children should be transporte d by using special child safety seats in order to reduce
this risk of injury.
Use only child safety seats which are officia lly approved and are suitable for children
and which comply with the ECE-R 44 standard, which classifies child safety seats into
5 groups page 158. Child restraint systems which have been tested for conformity
to ECE-R 44 standard have a non-detachable test seal (a large E within a circle and
below this the test number) attached to the seat.
We recommend that you use child safety seats from the Škoda genuine accessories.
These child seats were developed and also tested for use in Škoda vehicles. They fulfil
the ECE-R 44 standard.
WARNING
Always comply with national legal provisions and instructions from the rele-
vant child safety seat manufacturer wh en installing and using a child seat
 page 156.
Note
Any varying national legal regulations take priority over the information provided in
these instructions for use, or stated in this chapter.Important safety information regarding the use of child safety seats
Correct use of child safety seats considerably reduces the risk of injury!
WARNING

All the occupants of the car - in particular children - must wear a seat belt
when the car is moving.

Children who are less than 1.50 m in height and who weigh less than 36 kg
must not use a normal seat belt without a child restraint system, otherwise this
may result in injuries to the stomach and neck areas. Comply with the national
legal requirements.

One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.

You can transport a child safely in a suitable child safety seat page 158,
“Child seat”!

Only one child may be fastened with a seat belt into a child safety seat.

Never leave the child sitting unattended in the seat.

Certain outside climatic conditions can cause life-threatening tempera-
tures in the vehicle.

Never allow your child to be transported in a vehicle without the use of a
suitable restraint system.

Children should also never stand up in a vehicle or kneel on the seats when
the vehicle is moving. In the event of an accident the child will be thrown
through the vehicle and may as a result suffer fatal injuries, and also injure
other occupants.

Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci-
dent if they lean forward or adopt an in correct seated position when the vehicle
is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported on the front

Driving and the Environment
186

Never attempt to make a turn on a hillside. The vehicle could tilt or roll over.
This can result in serious accidents.

If the engine cuts out on a slope or you can no longer go on for whatever
other reason, then stop!

Never let the vehicle roll down the hill side at idling speed. You can lose the
control over your vehicle.

If the engine cuts out, press the foot brake and restart the engine. Engage the
reverse gear and carefully drive backward s in your own tracks. Use the engine
braking power and press the foot brake in order to maintain a slow and
constant speed.

Observe the important guidelines page 179.
Driving at an angle on a hillsideFig. 158 Steer and maintain your trajectory / in direction to exit - facing uphillDriving at an angle on a hillside is one of the most dangerous situations while driving
off-road. It may look harmless, but you must never underestimate the difficulties and
the dangers when driving at an angle on a hillside. Basically you should avoid moving
your vehicle into a sideways position on a hillside. Under certain circumstances, the
vehicle can slide away uncon trollably or roll over.
Check before driving in a tilted position, whether there is a different and safer route. If
you have to drive in a tilted position, then the ground should be as firm and even as
possible. Note that the vehicle may slide sideways or sink in and roll over when driving on slippery or soft ground. Make sure that
the inclination is not too steep when driving
over surface irregularities. Otherwise, the vehicle can roll over and then roll down the
hillside.
If the vehicle is at a very steep angle, the wheels on the low side must not sink deeply
into the ground or into troughs and you mu st not drive over stones, tree stumps or
other obstructions with the alternate raised wheels.
If there is a risk your ve hicle may tilt, steer immedi ately in direction of dip fig. 158
and lightly depress the accelerator. The centre of gravity of the vehicle should be as low
as possible. Distribute the weight of all the occupants of the vehicle evenly. Taller and
heavier people should be seated on the rais ed side of the vehicle. The luggage on the
roof should be removed and secured, as the vehicle could tilt by a sudden shifting of
the luggage.
A passenger, seated at the rear, should always remain seated on the seat facing up the
hill during such a journey. In an extreme case , the passenger on the relevant side must
exit the vehicle until you have safely crossed the hillside.
Exiting the vehicle on a hillside
If the vehicle comes to a standstill at a st eep angle on a hillside and you and your
passengers must exit the vehicle, then all th e occupants should exit on the side facing
up the hill fig. 158 on the right.
WARNING

Never attempt to drive uphill or downhill if it is too steep for your vehicle.
The vehicle could slip, tilt or roll over - risk of accident!

When driving at an angle on a hillside, the vehicle can lose its grip and slide
sideways. The vehicle can tilt or roll over and then roll down the hillside. This
can lead to serious injuries.

Always make sure that when the vehicle is at an angle, the wheels on the low
side do not sink deeply into the ground or into troughs and do not drive over
stones, tree stumps or other obstructions with the alternate raised wheels - risk
of accident!

Before you drive at an angle on a hillside fig. 158 , make sure that you can
steer and maintain your trajectory. If this is not possible, choose a different
path. If you drive at an an gle on a hillside and there is a risk your vehicle may
