Printed Owner's Manual
In the printed Owner's Manual, the most important information relating to ve-
hicle operation is included. The Owner's Manual with further detailed informa- tion is available in the Online Version on ŠKODAweb pages » Fig. 1 on
page 8 .
This Owner's Manual applies to all body variants of the vehicle and all related
model versions as well as all equipment levels .
This Owner's Manual describes all possible equipment variants without identi-
fying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment variants. Consequently, this vehicle does not contain all of the equip-
ment components described in this Owner's Manual.
The range of equipment installed in your vehicle depends on the purchase
contract for the vehicle. For questions regarding the scope of equipment,
please contact a ŠKODA Partner.
The illustrations in this Owner's Manual are for illustrative purposes only. The
illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten-
ded to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO pursues a policy of ongoing product and model development
with all vehicles. Changes to the scope of delivery with regard to design,
equipment and technology are therefore possible at any time. The information
listed in this Owner's Manual corresponds to the information available at the
time of going to press.
Therefore legal claims cannot be made based on the technical data, illustra-
tions and information contained in this Owner's Manual.
We recommend that web pages that are referred to in this Owner's Manual are
displayed using the classic view. Not all necessary information may be dis-
played correctly if the mobile view is chosen.7Printed Owner's Manual

sumption E, the driving assessment D, and the diagram C.
Radiator shutters
The radiator shutters located in front of the radiator (hereinafter: shutter) help
to reduce CO 2 emissions as well as harmful emissions and to save fuel.
If the system detects that it is possible to reduce the amount of air flowing to
the radiator, it closes the blinds. As a result, the air resistance of the vehicle is
reduced.
If, due to a function impairment of the shutters, a driving speed of 150 km/h is
reached, an appropriate message is shown in the display of the instrument
cluster.
After the display of the above message, the top speed of the vehicle is auto-
matically limited to around 160 km/h.
If this message appears in the winter, the cause may be ice or snow caught up
in the blinds. After the ice or snow has thawed, the blinds are functional again.
If the impairment not due to ice or snow, then assistance from a specialist
should be sought.

Driving Tips
Only drive on roads and terrain that correspond to the vehicle parame-
ters » page 288 , Technical data .
The driver is always responsible for deciding whether the vehicle can cope
with the conditions and the terrain.
WARNING■ Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions. Too high a speed or an erroneous manoeuvre may
cause serious injury and damage to the vehicle.■
Combustible objects such as dry leaves or twigs caught under the base of
the vehicle could ignite on hot vehicle parts - risk of fire!
CAUTION
■ Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.■
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
soon as possible. These items can cause damage to the vehicle (e.g. to parts of
the fuel or brake system).
Driving through water
Fig. 239
Maximum permissible water lev-
el when driving through water
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving
through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads).
›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water. The water level must not go above the web of the lower beam
» Fig. 239 .
›
Drive at no more than walking pace, otherwise a wave may form in front of
the vehicle, which could cause the water to enter into the vehicle’s systems
(e.g. the air intake system for the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off. 

The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-
dence over the details in the Owner's Manual.
The performance values listed were determined without performance-reduc- ing equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
The values given have been determined in accordance with regulations and in
conditions prescribed by legal or technical provisions for determining the oper-
ating and technical data of vehicles.
The values listed are for the basic model without optional equipment.

The approved tyres and rim sizes for your vehicle are listed in the vehicle's
technical documentation (the so called COC document) and this also states the
declaration of conformity.
Rating plate
The type plate » Fig. 342 is located at the bottom of the B-pillar on the right-
hand driver's side.
The type plate contains the following data. Vehicle manufacturers
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Maximum permissible gross weight
Maximum permissible towed weight (towing vehicle and trailer)
Maximum permissible front axle load
Maximum permissible rear axle load
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into
the engine compartment on the right hand suspension strut dome. This num-
ber is also located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen
(together with a VIN bar code), and on the type plate.
The VIN number can also be displayed in the Infotainment menu 

Engine number
The engine number (three-digit identifier and serial number) is stamped on the
engine block.
Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)
The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the
registration documents, field 17.
Maximum permissible trailer weight
The listed maximum allowable trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to
1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as the height increases, as does the ability to climb.
Therefore, for every additional 1000 m in height (or part), the maximum per-
missible towed weight must be reduced by 10%.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights of the loaded towing vehi-
cle and the loaded trailer.
123456WARNINGDo not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of acci-
dent and damage!
Operating weight
This value is only a guide value and corresponds to the lowest possible operat-
ing weight without any equipment added that would also increase the weight
(e.g. air conditioning, emergency or spare wheel etc.). It also includes a weight
allowance for the driver (75 kg), the weight of the operating fluids, the tool kit
and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.

Note
If required, you can find out the precise weight of your vehicle at a specialist
garage.
Payload
It is possible to calculate the approximate maximum payload from the differ-
ence between the permissible total weight and the operating weight.
The payload consists of the following weights.
▶ The weight of the passengers.
▶ The weight of all items of luggage and other loads.
▶ The weight of the roof, including the roof rack system.
▶ The weight of the equipment that is excluded from the operating weight.
▶ The trailer drawbar load with trailer operation (max. 75 kg or 80 kg for vehi-
cles with 4-wheel drive or 56 kg for G-TEC vehicles).
Measurement of fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions according to
ECE Regulations and EU Directives
The data on fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions were not available at the
time of going to press.
The data on fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions are given on the ŠKODA
websites or in the sales and technical vehicle documentation.
The measurement of the intra-urban cycle begins with a cold start of the en-
gine. Afterwards urban driving is simulated.
In the extra-urban driving cycle, the vehicle is accelerated and decelerated in
all gears, corresponding to daily routine driving conditions. The driving speed
varies between 0 and 120 km/h.
The calculation of the combined fuel consumption considers a weighting of
about 37 % for the intra-urban cycle and 63 % for the extra-urban cycle.
Note■ The emission and fuel consumption figures given on the ŠKODA websites or
in the commercial and technical vehicle documentation have been established
in accordance with rules and under conditions that are set out by statutory or
technical rules for the determination of operational and technical data of mo-
tor vehicles.■
Depending on the extent of the equipment, the driving style, traffic condi-
tions, weather influences and vehicle condition, consumption values can in
practice result in fuel economy figures in the use of the vehicle that differ from
the fuel consumption values listed on the ŠKODA websites or in the commer-
cial and technical vehicle documentation.
