to unlock and lock the vehicle;
unlocking boot lid.
The transmitter with the battery is incorporat
ed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 10 m. But this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak. The master key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the car manually and also for starting the engine. If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit installed, it is then necessary for a specialist garage to adapt the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched on.
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interference
from transmitters close to th
e car and which operate in the same frequency range (e.g.
mobile phone, TV transmitter).
The battery must be replaced if the centra
l locking or anti-theft alarm system does
not react to the remote control at less th
an 3 metres away. We recommend having the
battery replaced by
a specialist garage.

Heating the front seats*You can electrically heat the seat cushions and the seat backrests of the front seats. – By pressing the rocker switch in the posi
tion or switch on the front seat
heating to 25% or 100% of its power output
fig. 52
.
– To switch off the heating shift the rocker switch into the horizontal position.
WARNING
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued
pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or beca
use of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend not to use the seat heating of 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 recuperate from
the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
Caution
You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points in
order to avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heaters.
Do not use the seat heating if the seats are not occupied by persons or if objects
are fastened or stored on them, for example a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of the heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
Do not clean the seats moist
page 160.
Note
The seat heating should only be switched
on when the engine is running. This has a
significant effect of saving
on the battery capacity.

– Move the seat cushion into its original position.
WARNING
Ensure that the seat belts are not da
maged when operating the seat back-
rests. Under no circumstances must the rear seat belts be jammed by the folded back seat backrests.
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
Pay attention that the seat backrest is correctly interlocked. It is only then
that the three-point seat belt can reliably fulfil its function.
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment ca
n slide into the passenger compartment
if there is sudden braking - risk of injury!
Note
If the housing of the net partit
ion* is installed, first of all fold th left seat backrest
forward and then the right double seat backrest.

– Fold the seat cushion back into its original position.PedalsConcerning a secure depressing of the peda
l, you should use only footmats from the
Škoda genuine accessories. Operation of the pedals must not be hindered!
WARNING
Greater pedal distances may be needed when there is a fault in the brake
system.
Do not place any footmats or other additional floor coverings in the area of
the pedals in order to ensure that all the pedals can be fully depressed and are able to return unobstructed to their initial position - risk of accident!
There must be no objects on the floor
which could roll under the pedals. You
would then no longer be able to apply
the brakes, operate the clutch or acceler-
ator - risk of accident!luggage compartmentLoading the luggage compartmentPlease observe the following in the interest of having good handling characteristics of your vehicle: – Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible.– Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.– Attach the items of luggage to the
lashing eyes or the fixing net*
page 64.
In the event of an accident, there is such a
high kinetic energy wh
ich is produced by
small and light objects that th
ey can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of the kinetic
energy depends on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is trave
lling is in this case the more significant
factor. Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an en
ergy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can imagine the inju- ries that can occur, if this “bullet” is flyi
ng through the interior compartment and hits
an occupant.
WARNING
Stow the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes.
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are flying around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard.
Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as a result
of the displacement of the centre of
gravity. The speed and style of driv
ing must be adjusted accordingly.
The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stowed in such a
way that no objects are able to slip fo
rward if there are any sudden driving or
braking manoeuvres underta
ken - risk of injury!
When transporting fastened objects
which are sharp and dangerous in the
luggage compartment enlarged by folding the rear seats forward or removing the rear seats, ensure the safety of th
e passengers transported on the other rear
seats
page 115, “Correct seated position for the occupants on the rear seats”.
If the rear seats next to the folded
forward seat are occupied, ensure
maximum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that a folding back of the seat is prevented in case of a rear collision.
Never drive with the boot lid fully open
ed or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
On no account exceed the permissible
axle loads and the permissible gross
weight of the vehicle - risk of accident!
