ä
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing a speed 64
Changing a stored speed 64
Switching off the cruise control system temporarily 64
Switching off the cruise control system completely 65
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h
(20
mph), once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator
pedal. This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power out-
put and braking power of the engine.
The warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster when the cruise control
system is activated. WARNING
■ For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense
traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads,
loose gravel) – risk of accident! ■ The saved speed may only be resumed if it is not too high for the current
traffic conditions. ■ Always switch off the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
tional use of the system. £

WARNING (Continued)
■ The City Safe Drive system can carry out unexpected braking interventions
in complex driving situations, e.g. when vehicles scrape past each other.
■ Taking the City Safe Drive system into account in one's own driving behav-
iour can lead to accidents and serious injuries. The
City Safe Drive system is
not a substitute for the driver's attention. ■ Always adapt your speed and safety distance to the vehicle ahead to the
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
■ The laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries.
■ Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass to
look into the laser sensor.
■ The laser beam can also be active when the City Safe Drive system is
switched off or is not available. The laser beam is not visible to the human
eye.
■ The City Safe Drive system cannot detect persons, animals, or crossing vehi-
cles or approaching vehicles in the same lane.
■ The City Safe Drive system cannot exceed physical and system-defined lim-
its. For instance, responses from the
City Save Drive system can happen late
or unexpectedly from the driver's perspective. Always stay attentive and take
control when required. CAUTION
If the vehicle starts to roll after the City Safe Drive system is triggered, use the
foot pedal to break. Note
■ When replacing the windscreen wiper blades, only use windscreen blades ap-
proved by ŠKODA. ■ Do not paint the laser sensor range on the windscreen. Do not cover it up with
stickers or similar. ■ Remove any snow with a hand-held brush and we recommend you remove any
ice with a solvent-free deicing spray. ■ Keep the laser sensor range free of dirt and ice at all times.
■ If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc, replace
the windscreen. Only use windscreens approved by
ŠKODA. Carrying out repairs
to the windscreen are not permissible. ■
A damaged windscreen in the area of the laser sensor can lead to a failure of
the City Safe Drive
system.
■ Repairing the laser sensor requires specialist expertise. We recommend an au-
thorised
ŠKODA Service partner. Ð Switching the City Safe Drive on and off

Other vehicles changing lanes
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 66.
The following and similar situations require special attention of the driver:
Driving around a bend
When driving into or out of
“protracted” bends, it is possible for the laser sensor
to respond to a vehicle in the adjacent lane » Fig. 72 - causing it to apply the
brakes to your vehicle.
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side
Narrow vehicles or vehicles travelling side by side are not detected by the laser
sensor until they are in the range of the sensor » Fig. 72 - . This is especially
true for narrow vehicles, such as motorcycles.
Other vehicles changing lanes
Vehicles which move into your lane close to your vehicle can trigger an unexpec-
ted braking of the City Save Drive system » Fig. 73 .Ð ä

■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Only use the system so that you
are in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident!
■ The multifunction device must always slot securely into the cradle or be
safely stored in the vehicle.
■ Unsecured or incorrectly secured multifunction devices may be thrown
through the interior of the vehicle and cause injuries in a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or accident. ■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and fire
brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time. ■ High volumes can cause hearing damage. CAUTION
■ Improper tilt settings can damage both the multifunction device and the cradle.
■ Always take the multifunction device with you when leaving the vehicle to pro-
tect it from extreme temperatures and strong sunlight. Extreme ambient temper-
atures can impair the functioning of the multifunction device and may damage
the device.
■ Moisture can damage the electrical contacts in the dash panel for the portable
multifunction device.
■ Never use water when cleaning the navigation unit cradle. Always use a dry
cloth instead. ■ Install/remove the multifunction device cradle without the multifunction device
in it.
■ Do not install/remove the multifunction device until the cradle for the multi-
function device has been installed into the dash panel. Note
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobile
phone is e.g. in a jacket pocket, this can lead to difficulties when establishing the
Bluetooth ®
connection with the hands-free system or the data transfer. Ð

WARNING (Continued)
■ 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 re-
sult in serious injuries » page 87, Child seat.
■ The airbag control unit operates with pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason no adjustments must be carried out to the doors and
door panels (e.g. additional installation of loudspeakers). Resulting damages
can have a negative affect on the operation of the airbag system. All work on
the front doors and their panels must only be carried out by a
ŠKODA special-
ist garage.
■ In the event of a side collision, the side airbags will not function properly, if
the sensors cannot measure the increasing air pressure inside the doors, be-
cause the air can escape through large, non-sealed openings in the door pan-
el. ■Never drive with removed inner door panels.
■ Never drive, if parts of the inner door panel have been removed and the
remaining openings have not been properly sealed.
■ Never drive, if the loudspeakers in the doors have been removed, only if
the loudspeaker openings have been properly sealed.
■ Always make sure that the openings are covered or filled, if additional
loudspeakers or other equipment parts are installed in the inner door pan-
els. ■ Always have work completed by a ŠKODA
Service Partner or a competent
ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ 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 cloth-
ing.
■ 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-ap-
proved 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 without delay by your
ŠKODA 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 mod-
ules. Ð Switching off the airbags
Deactivating airbags
Deactivation of airbags is envisaged only for particular instances, such as if: › using a child seat on the front passenger seat, in which the child has its back to
the vehicle's direction of travel (in some countries this must be in the direction
of travel due to different legal regulations applying)
» page 87, Transporting
children safely ;
› not being able to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the middle of
the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly adjusted;
› special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because of a
physical disability;
› other seats have been installed (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side airbags).
The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated
switch » page 86.
We recommend that you ask a
ŠKODA Service Partner to switch off any other air-
bags.
Monitoring the airbag system
The functionality of the airbag system is also monitored electronically when one
airbag has been switched off.
If the airbag was switched off using diagnostic equipment:
› The airbag warning light
lights up for 3 seconds each time the ignition is
switched on and then flashes after that for about 12 seconds.
If the airbag was switched off using the key switch on the side of the dash pan-
el:
› The airbag warning light
comes on for 3 seconds after the ignition has been
switched on;
› The deactivated airbag is indicated by the illumination of the warning light
in the middle of the dash panel » Fig. 86 on page 86 - . Note
■ The national regulations for switching off airbags must be observed.
■ A ŠKODA Service Partner will be able to inform you which airbags in your vehicle
can/must be deactivated. Ð
