You will find further information on safety, which concerns you and those trav-
elling with you, in the following chapters of this Owner's Manual.
The complete on-board literature should therefore always be in the vehicle.
This particularly applies, if you rent out or sell the vehicle.
Before every journey
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.
› Make sure that the function of the wiper and the condition of the wiper
blades are free of any defects.
› 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 levels.
› Secure all items of luggage.
› Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of the
vehicle – risk of accident.
› Close all doors and the engine compartment and luggage compartment lid.
› Ensure that no objects can obstruct the pedals.
›Protect children in suitable child seats with correctly fastened seat belts
» page 20 , Transporting children safely .
› Adopt the correct seated position
» page 8, Correct and safe seated posi-
tion . Tell your passengers to assume the correct seated position.
Driving safety
The driver is fully responsible for himself and passengers, especially children. If
your driving safety is affected, you place yourself and oncoming traffic at risk.
The following guidelines must therefore 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 or drugs).
› 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).
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.
› Do not sit only on the front edge of the seat.
› Do not sit facing to the side.
› Do not lean out of the window.
› Do not put your limbs out of the window.
› Do not put your feet on the seat upholstery.

Child seat
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat

Use of the child seat on the front passenger seat

Child safety and side airbag
22
Classification of child seats

To avoid serious injury or death children are always to be in an appropriate
child safety seat with regards to height, weight, and age.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport child seats on the rear seats.
The national legal requirements for transporting children and the use of child
seat must be observed.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard have a test seal that can-
not be removed: a large E within a circle with the test number below.
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.
WARNING■ You should never carry children - including babies! - on your lap.■Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Certain outside climatic
conditions can cause life-threatening temperatures in the vehicle.■
The child must be secured in the vehicle throughout the journey! Other-
wise, in the event of an accident, the child would be thrown through the
vehicle and as a result may suffer fatal injuries and also injure other occu-
pants.
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, inju-
ries 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 positioned properly.
Care should also be taken to ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-
edged fittings.
■
It is essential to switch off the front passenger airbag if using a child seat
on the front passenger seat in which the child is carried with its back facing
the direction of travel. Further information » page 21, Use of a child seat
on the front passenger seat .
■
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.■
If the head restraints still prevent the child seat from being installed, even in
the highest position, you will need to remove them » page 70. After remov-
ing 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.20Safety

ature, e.g. through medication, injury or chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we
recommend you do not use seat heater on 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 heater is used, we recommend to make reg-
ular 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.
