In this section of the instructions you will find important information on the
subject of passive safety. We have combined everything here which you
should be familiar with, for example, regarding seat belts, airbags, safety of children and anything similar.
Other important safety information can also be found in the subsequent sec-
tions of this Owner's Manual. The Owner's Manual should therefore always be
kept in the vehicle.
Before setting off
For your own safety and the safety of the people travelling with you, please
pay attention to the following points before setting off.
▶ Check the lights and turn signal lights are functioning correctly.
▶ Check the wiper function and the wiper blades for wear. Check the wind-
screen washer fluid level.
▶ Ensure that all of the windows offer good visibility to the outside.
▶ Adjust the rear-view mirror so that vision to the rear is guaranteed. Ensure
that the mirrors are not covered.
▶ Check the tyre inflation pressure.
▶ Check the engine oil, brake fluid and coolant level.
▶ Secure all items of luggage.
▶ Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of the
vehicle.
▶ Close all doors as well as the bonnet and boot lid.
▶ Ensure that no objects can obstruct the pedals.
▶
Protect children using a suitable child seat » page 21, Transporting children
safely .
▶ Adopt the correct seated position. Tell your passengers to assume the cor-
rect seated position » page 12, Correct and safe seated position .
Driving safety
For safety in traffic, the following precautions must be observed. ▶ Do not become distracted from concentrating on the traffic situation, (e.g. by
your passengers or mobile phone calls).
▶ Never drive when your driving ability is impaired, (e.g. due to medication, al-
cohol, drugs or similar).
▶ Keep to the traffic regulations and the permissible speed limit.
▶ Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
▶ Take regular breaks on long journeys (at least every two hours).
Correct and safe seated position
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
The correct seating position for the driver
13
Adjusting the steering wheel position
13
Correct seating position for the front passenger
14
Correct seating position for the passengers in the rear seats
14
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.
The following list contains instructions for the Passenger which, if not ob-
served, may cause serious injuries or death. ▶ Do not lean against the dash panel.
▶ Do not put your feet on the dash panel.
The following list contains instructions for all Passengers which, if not ob-
served, may cause serious injuries or death.

WARNING (Continued)■Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an acci-
dent 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 mi-
nor 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 fit-
tings.
■
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.
CAUTION
■ When installing a child seat in which the child faces forward, adjust the head
restraints so that they are as high as possible (valid for the rear seats).■
If the head restraints still prevent the child seat from being installed, even in
the highest position, you will need to remove them (valid for the rear seats)
» page 58 . 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.Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat
Does not apply to TaiwanFig. 10
Warning labels
Read and observe
and on page 21 first.
Never use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protec-
ted by an active airbag. This could cause serious injury to the child, even
death.
This warning is also given on stickers that are located in the following places.
▶ On the passenger sun visor » Fig. 10 -
.
▶ On the B-column on the front passenger side » Fig. 10 –
.
The following instructions must be followed when using a child seat on the
front passenger seat.
▶ It is essential to deactivate the front passenger airbag if using a child seat in
which the child is transported with its back facing the direction of travel »
.
▶ If possible, adjust the front passenger seat backrest so that it is as vertical,
so as to ensure secure contact between the passenger seat backrest and the
back of the child seat.
▶ If possible, move the front passenger seat backwards so that there is no con-
tact between the front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
▶ Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
▶ With child safety seats in groups 2 and 3, make sure that the loop-around fit-
tings 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.

ABABInformation overview
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Clock - current time is displayed.
Outside temperature - If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the tem-
perature indicator appears and a snowflake symbol
(display for low temper-
ature) flashes for a few seconds, then remains displayed together with the
outside temperature.
Driving time - Driving time since last clearing the memory.
Current fuel consumption - When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,
the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-
lowing appears --,- km/l). With G-TEC vehicles the current consumption of the
fuel currently being used is displayed ( with regards to a stationary or slow
moving vehicle, the natural gas consumption is displayed in kg/h).
Average fuel consumption - Is calculated continuously since the last clearing
of the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300
m driven. With G-TEC vehicles, the average consumption of fuel currently being
used is displayed.
Natural gas quality The details of the quality of natural gas are displayed as a
percentage of between 70% to 100%. The higher the value of natural gas, the
lower is the consumption.
Range - Drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-
pacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more efficiently this value
can increase. With G-TEC vehicles the following details are displayed - Range
with natural gas / petrol.
Distance driven - Distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Total distance travelled - Odometer
Average speed - Value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing
the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m
driven.
Current Speed - Digital speedometer.
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,
the engine operating temperature has been reached. If the temperature is be-
low 70 ° C, high engine speeds and straining the engine should be avoided. If
the temperature is over 120 ° C, the warning light lights up the instrument
cluster
» page 33 . 39Information system
Page 42 of 172

Oil temperature - if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the symbols are displayed.
Warning of excessive speed - It is possible to set a speed limit.WARNINGEven at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road
surface! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature dis- play for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Warning at excessive speeds
The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic
warning signal will sound and the following warning message (MAXI DOT Dis-
play) and the symbol appears in the display of the instrument cluster.

“1” - Single-trip memory
Drive data is stored from when the ignition is switched on to when it is switch-
ed off. If the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition,
new data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
“2” - Long-term memory
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1,999 kilometres driv-
en.
The indicator is automatically set back to zero if one of these two values is ex-
ceeded.
