Rear window heater
– Press switch  ⇒fig. 42 to switch on the rear window heater.
The rear window heater only operates when the engine is running. An indicator light in the switch is illuminated when the rear window heater is switched on.
The rear window heater switches off automatically after 20 minutes. If you press the switch  once again, the rear window heater is switched on permanently - the automatic deactivation is thus deactivated.
For the sake of the environment
You should switch off the rear window heater as soon as the rear window is clear. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel economy ⇒ page 155, “Saving electricity”.
Sun visors
Using the sun visors can contribu te to increasing road safety.
You can pull the sun visor for the driver or front passenger out of the fixture and swivel it toward the door in the direction of the arrow ⇒fig. 43.
A vanity mirror*, which is provided with a cover, is located in the sun visor on the front passenger side. Push the cover in direction of arrow .
WARNING
The sun visors must not be swivelled to the side windows into the deploy-ment area of the head airbags if any ob jects, such as ball-point pens etc. are attached to them. This might result in injuries to the occupants if the head airbag is deployed.

Adjusting the left-hand exterior mirror*
– Turn the rotary knob to position . The movement of the mirror surface
is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror*
– Turn the rotary knob to position . The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
The vehicle can also be equi pped with a second rear mirror*, which is attached above the inner main rear mirror. The second rear mirror* enables an extensive look into the area of the rear seats, e.g. to check on the seated passengers. You can adjust it in the horizontal as well as vertical direction regardless of the inner main rear mirror.
The exterior mirror heat er only operates when the engine is running.
WARNING
•Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
•Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the distances to the following vehicles.
Note
•Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is switched on.
•You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if the power setting function fails at any time, by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
•Contact your specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of the exte-rior mirrors.

way that they are not damaged when folding forward the rear seats.
– Pull up the rear seat in the direction of arrow ⇒fig. 52 and fold
forwards in direction of arrow .
– Unlock the rear seat backrest by pulling the securing knob and fold
it forward ⇒fig. 53.
– Pull the head restraints out of the seat backrest.
– The head restraints can be inserted into the relevant holes of the
folded forwards rear seats ⇒page 60, fig. 54.
– Fold the seat backrests forwards completely.
Folding the rear seats back into position

Seats and Stowage62
•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.
Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater are not damaged as a result of objects sliding in this area.
Note
•Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load ⇒page 186, fig. 154.
Fastening elements
Eyes are located on the sides of the loading area for lashing the goods to be loaded ⇒ fig. 56.
You can also attach securing nets* to these eyes for lashing small objects.
WARNING
•The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way that it cannot move during the journey and when braking.
•If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents. In order to prevent the items of luggage being thrown forward, always use suit able lashing straps which are firmly attached to the lashing eyes.
•The whole strength of the net makes it possible to load the pocket with objects of up to 1.5 kg in weight. Heavy objects are not secured sufficiently - risk of injury and net damage!
•The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way that it cannot move during the journey and when braking.
Folding hooks*
A folding hook* for attaching small items of luggage, such as bags etc., is provided on both sides of the luggage compartment ⇒fig. 57.
An item of luggage weighing up to 10 kg can be attached to the hook.

The roof rack*
Description
Pay attention to the following points if yo u wish to transport luggage or other items on the roof of your vehicle:
•A special roof luggage rack system was developed for the vehicle, that is why you should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda Auto a.s.
•The base carrier is the basis for a comple te roof luggage rack system. Separate additional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats.
•The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are obtainable as accessories from Škoda Service Partners.
Caution
•If you use other roof rack systems or if th e roof bars are not properly fitted, then any damage which may result to your ca r is not covered by the warranty agree- ments. It is therefore essential to pay atte ntion to the fitting instructions supplied with the roof luggage rack system.
•On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the opened sliding/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.
•Ensure that the opened boot lid do es not collide with the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. One should therefore take off the roof bar system after use.

Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle164
Plastic parts
External plastic parts are cleaned by normal washing. Plastic parts and synthetic leather can also be treated with special solvent-free plastic cleaning agents if a damp cloth is not sufficient. Paint care pr oducts are not suitable for plastic parts.
Caution
Solvent-free cleaners attack the material and can damage it.
Windows
Only use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the windows and mirrors. You should not move the ice scraper forward and backward but in one direction on the window which you are clea ning in order to avoid any damage to the surface of the glass.
You can best remove residues of rubber, oil, grease, wax or silicone by using a special window cleaner or a special silicone remover.
You should also clean the windows regularly from the inside.
Do not use window leathers which you have used to polish the vehicle body to dry off the windows. Residues of preservati ves in the window leather can dirty the window and reduce visibility.
Do not affix any stickers over the inside of the rear window to avoid damage to the heating elements of the rear window heater .
We recommend using a preservative from Škoda genuine accessories offered by your Škoda dealer.
Caution
•Never remove snow or ice from the glass parts with warm or hot water - risk of formation of cracks in the glass!
•When removing snow or ice from the windows and mirror lenses make sure not to damage the paintwork of the vehicle.
The headlight lenses
Please do not use any aggres sive cleaning or chemical solvent products - risk of damage to the plastic lenses Please use soap and clean warm water.
Caution
Never wipe the headlights dry and do not use any sharp objects for cleaning the plastic lenses, this may result in damage to the protective paintwork and conse- quently in formation of cracks on the head light lenses, e.g through effect of chem- ical products.
Door and window seals
The rubber seals on the doors, boot lid, bonnet and windows remain supple and last longer if you treat them from time to time with a rubber care product (e.g. with a spray with silicone-free oil). You also avoid premature wear of the seals and prevent leakages in this way. It is also easier to open the doors. Rubber seals which are well cared for also do not stick together in cold winter weather.
Locks
We recommend that you use the spray from Škoda original accessories with regreasing and anticorrosive effect for de-icing locks.
Note
When washing your vehicle, ensure that as little water as possible gets into the locks.
