Owner´s Manual Radio and in some countries also the brochure On the road.
Owner´s Manual
These Owner´s Manual apply to all body variants of the vehicle and all related
model versions as well as all equipment levels .
This Owner's manual describes all possible equipment variants without identi-
fying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, this vehicle does not contain all of the equipment com-
ponents described in this Owner's Manual.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the
vehicle. For any questions regarding the scope of equipment, please contact a

lustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only intended
to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. pursues a policy of constant product and model develop-
ment. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time with regard to
design, equipment and technology. The information listed in this Owner's Man-
ual corresponds to the information available at the time of going to press.
No basis for legal claims may therefore be derived from the technical data, il-
lustrations and information provided in this Owner's Manual.
Service schedule
The service schedule includes the documentation of the vehicle handover,
warranty information and service events.

Side airbags Head-ThoraxFig. 9
Place of installation of the front seat side airbag/deployment area
of the side airbag
In the event of severe side collisions, the side airbag system Head-Thorax pro-
vides additional protection for the upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) of
passengers in the vehicle.
The side airbags are housed in the upholstery of the seat backrests of the
front seats » Fig. 9 –
.
The load of the occupants is cushioned when plunging into the fully inflated
airbag » Fig. 9 -
the risk of injury to head and the entire upper body (chest,
stomach and pelvis) is reduced on the side facing the door.
WARNINGInformation on correct seated 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 ap-
plies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable
child safety seat » page 21, Child safety and side airbag .■
There must not be any further persons, animals or objects positioned be-
tween the occupants and the deployment area of the airbag. No accesso-
ries, 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 19, Child seat .
WARNING■
Do not place any objects within the deployment area of the side airbags –
risk of injury!■
The airbag control unit 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 94, 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 passen-
ger 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 pro-
tective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag mod-
ule 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 lettering is located on the
front seat backrests.
Deactivating airbags
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Deactivating airbags

Deactivating airbags
If you sell your vehicle, provide the complete vehicle documentation to the
new owner. Please note that the information relating to the possibility of de-
activating the front passenger airbag must be included!
If an airbag in the vehicle is to be turned off, then the buyer is to draw atten-
tion to this fact!
17Airbag system
Page 20 of 160
Deactivating an airbag should be considered in cases such as the ones below.▶ If a child seat is to be used on the front passenger seat, where the child is
transported with its back to the direction of travel » page 19, Transporting
children safely .
▶ If it is not possible to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the mid-
dle of the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly
adjusted.
▶ If special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because
of a physical disability.
▶ If different seats have been fitted (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side air-
bags).
The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated switch
» Fig. 10 on page 18 -
.
We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA service partner to deactivate any other airbags.

WARNING■ The driver is responsible for whether the airbag is switched on or switch-
ed off.■
Only switch off the airbag when the ignition is switched off! Otherwise a
fault can occur in the system for deactivating the airbag.
■
If the warning light
flashes, the front passenger air-
bag will not be deployed in the event of an accident! Have the airbag sys-
tem checked by a specialist garage immediately.
■
Do not leave the key inserted in the key-operated switch while driving -
vibrations can cause the key to turn in the slot and switch on the airbag!
The airbag could be triggered unexpectedly in an accident - it may result in
injury or death!
