On-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this “Owner's Manual”

a variety of other additional operating manuals and instructions on-board
(e.g. an operating manual for the radio) depending on the vehicle model and
equipment.
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a specialist
garage immediately, where one will be glad to assist you in such matters.
One should note that the details given in the vehicle's papers always
take precedence over those in the Owner's Manual.
Owner's Manual
This Owner's Manual describes the current scope of equipment. Certain
items of equipment listed are only installed later on and only envisaged for
particular markets. The illustrations can differ in minor details from your

Owner's Manual also contains important information regarding care and
operation for your safety and also to retain the value of your vehicle. To
provide you with valuable tips and aids. You will learn how you can operate
your vehicle safely, economically and in an environmentally conscious
way.
For safety reasons, please also pay attention to the information on
accessories, modifications and replacement of parts page 184.
The other chapters of the Owner's Manual are also important, however, for
proper treatment of your car - in addition to regular care and maintenance -
helps to retain its value and in many cases is also one of the conditions for
possible warranty claims.
The Service schedule
contains:

Vehicle data;

Service intervals;

Overview of the service work;

Service proof;

Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries);

important information on the warranty.
The confirmations of the carried out service work are one of the conditions
for possible warranty claims.
Please always present the Service schedule when you take your car to a
specialist garage.

After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for a
further 10 minutes. The power windows are
switched off completely once you open
the driver or front passenger door.
When driving always use the existing he
ating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle
and in addition the wind noise is more at
certain speeds.Force limiter of the power windowsThe electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows. If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centimeters. If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 seconds, the closing process is interrupted once agai
n and the window goes down by several
centimeters. You must try to close the window once agai
n within 10 seconds after the window has
gone down twice, even if the obstacle was not yet removed, the closing process is stopped. During this time it is not poss
ible to automatically
close the window. The
force limiter is still switched on. The force limiter is only switched off, if yo
u attempt to close the window within the next
10 seconds -
the window closes now with full strength!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING
You should take particular care when closing the windows! You may otherwise suffer severe injuries as a result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in the window!Window convenience operationYou can open and close the electrically po

The sliding/tilting roof is operated by means of the control dial
fig. 34
and only func-
tions when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions. After switching the ignition off, it is still poss
ible to open, close and
tilt the sliding/tilting
roof for approx. 10 minutes. It is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof after opening one of the front doors, however.

Tilting roof– Turn the switch to position . When the sliding/tilting roof is in the comfort position, the intensity of the wind noise is much less. The sun screen is also opened automatically when the roof slides open. You can slide the sun screen into the opened or closed position by hand when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Caution
It may be necessary during winter to remove any ice and snow in the area of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it in
order to prevent damaging the opening mech-
anism and the seal.

Seats and Storage
72– If it is necessary, the position of the bicy
cles in the vehicle can be additionally recti-
fied.
WARNING

When transporting passengers and objects, which require the seats to be
folded forwards, ensure the safety of the passengers being transported.
Place the bicycles in the bicycle carrier in such a position that no collision
between the steering arm and
the rear window can occur.
The roof rack*DescriptionPay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items on the roof of your vehicle:
A special roof luggage rack system was de
veloped for the vehicle, that is why you
should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda Auto.
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, surf- boards, skis and boats.
The basic version of the roof luggage rack
system and further components can be
obtained from Škoda original accessories.
Caution

If you use other roof rack systems or if the
roof bars are not properly fitted, then any
damage which may result to your car is no
t covered by the warranty agreements. It is
therefore essential to pay attention 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 does not collide with the roof load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag resu
lts in a higher fuel consumption.
Note
If a roof rail is not fitted onto a vehicle at the works, it is obtainable from a specialist garage which carries out the professional fitting.Attachment pointsInstalling– Insert the attachment points of the roof rack into the mounts of the body so that
