ä
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Attachment points 63
Roof load 63
WARNING
■ The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably at-
tached - risk of accident!
■ Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
tensioning straps. ■ Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■ The handling properties of your vehicle change when you transport heavy or
bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displacement of the cen-
tre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of accident! The style
of driving and speed must therefore be adapted to the current circumstances. ■ Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■ Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. ■ The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and gross permissible
weight of your vehicle must not be exceeded under any circumstances - risk
of accident! CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by
ŠKODA.
■ If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
■ On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the opened slid-
ing/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof. ■ Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■ The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof luggage rack system
and the load that is secured to it. Compare the vehicle height with available clear-
ances, such as underpasses and garage doors.
■ Always remove the roof luggage rack system before entering an automated car
wash. ■ Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the secured load. For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. Note
If the vehicle is not factory-equipped with a roof rack, it can be purchased from
the
ŠKODA Original Accessories. Ð

Only one telephone mount is factory-fitted. An adapter for the mobile phone can
be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Install › First of all push the adapter A
in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 93
up to the
stop into the mount. Then press the adapter slightly downwards, until it locks
securely into position.
› Insert the mobile phone into the adapter A
(as specified in the instructions
from the manufacturer of the adapter).
Removing
› Simultaneously press the locks on the mount
» Fig. 93 and remove the adapter
with the mobile phone. CAUTION
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup-
tion of the connection. When removing the mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, which reduces the quality of the transmit-
ting and receiving signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also inter-
rupted. Ð Managing telephone calls with the help of the adapter

your mobile phone.
The following steps must be carried out for the connection.
› Activate Bluetooth ®

and the visibility of your mobile phone on your telephone.
› Switch on the ignition.
› Select the menu
Phone - New user in the information display and wait until the
control unit has completed the search.
› Select your mobile phone from the menu of the units found.
› Confirm the PIN 1)

In this section you will find important information, tips and notes on the subject
of passive safety in your vehicle. We have combined everything here which you
should be familiar with, for example, regarding seat belts, airbags, child seats and
safety of children. It is therefore important, in particular, to comply with the notes

■ The complete on-board literature should always be in the vehicle. This ap-
plies in particular, if you rent out or sell the vehicle. ÐSafety equipment
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 103.
The following list contains part of the safety equipment in your vehicle:
› three-point seat belts for all the seats;
› belt force limiters for the front seats;

The specified safety equipment works together, in order to optimally protect you
and those travelling with you in accident situations. The safety equipment does
not protect you or the people travelling with you, if you or your occupants adopt
an incorrect seated position or the equipment is not correctly adjusted or used. Ð Before setting off
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 103.
For your own safety and the safety of the people travelling with you, please pay
attention to the following points before setting off.
›
Ensure that the lighting and the turn signal system are functioning properly.
› Check the tyre inflation pressure.
› Ensure that all of the windows offer good visibility to the outside.
› Secure all items of luggage
» page 53.

Passive Safety

The following guidelines must be observed when using a child safety seat in
which the child is seated with its back facing the direction of travel on the front
passenger seat.
›
Switch off the front passenger airbag
» page 115, Deactivating airbags .
› Slide the front passenger seat all the way back.
› Move the front passenger seat backrest into the vertical position.
› Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
› Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as possible.
› Place and fasten the child seat on the seat and the child in the child seat ac-
cording to the specifications in the manufacturer's user manual of the child
seat . WARNING
■ It is essential to always switch off the front passenger airbag when attach-
ing a child safety seat to the front passenger seat where the child is seated
with its back facing in direction of travel » page 115, Deactivating airbags.
■ Never use a child safety seat in which the child is seated with its back facing
the direction of travel on the front passenger seat if the airbag is switched on.
This child safety seat is positioned in the deployment area of the front pas-
senger airbag. The airbag may cause the child severe, or even fatal injuries, in
the event of it being deployed.
■ This is also clearly stated on the sticker which is located on the B column on
the front passenger side » Fig. 107 or on the front passenger's sun visor.
■ If a child safety seat in which the child faces in the direction of travel is used
on the front passenger seat, the front passenger seat must be moved back
and to the top fully. Move the backrest into the vertical position.
■ The front passenger airbag must be reactivated as soon as you no longer
use a child seat on the front passenger seat. Ð Child safety and side airbag
Fig. 108
Incorrect seated position of a child who is not properly secured -
risk from the side airbag/Child properly protected by safety seat
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 117.
The child must not be positioned in the deployment area of the side air-
bag » Fig. 108
-  . There must be sufficient room between the child and the de-
ployment area of the side airbag so that the airbag can provide as much protec-
tion as possible » Fig. 108 - . WARNING
■ Children must never be seated with their head in the deployment area of
the side airbag - risk of injury!
■ Do not place any objects within the deployment area of the side airbags -
risk of injury! Ð Classification of child seats
