Electrical power windows
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Open / close window
30
Manually opening/closing rear windows
31
The electrical power windows can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on.
WARNING■ If the vehicle is locked from the outside, do not leave anybody in the vehicle
as it is not possible to open the windows from the inside in the event of an
emergency.■
When closing the windows, proceed with caution so as to avoid causing
crushing injuries - risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
If the windows are frozen, first of all remove the ice » page 117, Windows and
exterior mirrors . Only then can the electrical power windows be operated, as oth-
erwise the window seal and the electrical power window mechanism could be
damaged.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
The windows must be kept closed at high speeds in order to prevent unnecessa-
rily high fuel consumption.NoteThe heating, air conditioning and ventilation system should be used to ventilate
the inside of the vehicle while driving. If the windows are open, dust as well as
other dirt can get into the vehicle, and there may also be wind noise at certain
speeds.

When the heater is switched on, a lamp lights up inside the button. The rear window heater only operates when the engine is running.
The rear window heater switches off automatically after approx. 10 minutes.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free from
mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel econ-
omy.
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the rear window heater switches off automatically,
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 137,

39
Replacing the rear windscreen wiper blade
40
The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate if the ignition is switched on.
The rear window is wiped once automatically if the windscreen wipers are on
when reverse gear is selected.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid » page 129.WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 39.■
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety rea-
sons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
■
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or 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!■
If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on, the
windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the ignition is
turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be- tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again.
■
Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window.
■
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
blades would move back into their rest position and while doing so damage the
paintwork of the bonnet.
Note
■ Periodic wiping is dependent on the driving speed. The faster the driver is go-
ing, the more frequent the wiper action.■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the wiper is blocked by an obstruction, the wiper will remain station-
ary. Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper on again.

Seats and stowing
Front seats
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting the front seats
43
Foldable front passenger seat
43
Front seat heating
44
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important:
› for safely and quickly reaching the controls;
› for a relaxed body position that reduces fatigue;
› for achieving maximum protection from the seat belts and the airbag system.
WARNINGGeneral information■Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.■
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!
■
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 103, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted according
to height, so that the occupants can be protected as effectively as possible.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seat) – risk of accident!
WARNINGInformation for the driver■Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of accident!■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel. Not maintaining
this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to
properly protect you – risk to life!
■
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.
WARNINGInformation for the front seat passenger■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 proper-
ly 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 surfaces
of the seats. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes nec-
essary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is de-
ployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated posi-
tion!
Note
After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle.
42Using the system
Page 47 of 176
WARNING■The front passenger airbag should be switched off when transporting ob-
jects on the seat backrest that has been folded forwards » page 102.■
Only adjust the seat backrest when the vehicle is stationary.
■
When moving the seat backrest, make sure that the seat backrest has been
properly secured – check by pulling on the seat backrest.
■
If the seat backrest is folded, passengers may only be transported on the
outer seat behind the driver.
■
When moving the seat backrest, keep limbs out of the area between the
seat and seat backrest – risk of injury!
■
The seat backrest that has been folded forwards must never be used to
transport objects that: ■could restrict the driver's view;
■ can make it impossible for the driver to operate the vehicle, e.g. if they
could fall under the pedals or protrude into the driver's area; ■ could injure passengers when the driver accelerates sharply, changes di-
rection or brakes.
Front seat heating
Fig. 37
Heated front seats
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 42.
The front seats can be heated electrically. In some seat versions, the seat back-
rest is heated as well.
The seat heating can only be switched on when the engine is running.
›
Press the symbol button
or
» Fig. 37 .
Pressing once switches the seat heating on at its maximum level.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the level of the seat heating is down-regu-
lated up to the switch-off. The level of the seat heating is indicated by the num-
ber of illuminated warning lights in the switch.WARNINGIf, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend you do not use seat heating on the driver or front passenger
seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend to make regular
breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that the body can recu-
perate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.■
Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele- ments in the seat heating can occur.
■
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do not
turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and seat
heating.
■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 120, Seat covers .
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 137,
Automatic load deactivation .

Heating and air-conditioning
Heating, ventilation and cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Air outlet vents
57
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
winter months.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef-
fect.
Please refer to the information regarding the recalculated air mode for air-condi-
tioning » page 61 .
WARNINGFor your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the windows
are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to cor- rectly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and defrost
the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free from ice, snow or leaves,
for example, to ensure that the heating and cooling system works properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a leak!
Note■ The used air streams out through the vents in the luggage compartment.■We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the in-
terior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys- tem. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is oper-ating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (re-
placement of compressor).
Air outlet vents
