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 injuries
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 running properly.
One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fit-
tings.
■
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.
■
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 80. Af-
ter removing 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.Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat (variant 1)
Does not apply to TaiwanFig. 11
Warning labels
Read and observe
on page 22 first.
Never use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat which is protec-
ted by an active airbag. This could cause serious injury to the child, even
death.
This warning is also given on stickers that are located in the following places.
▶ On the passenger sun visor » Fig. 11 -
.
▶ On the B-column on the front passenger side » Fig. 11 –
.
The following advice must be heeded when using a child seat in which the
child is carried on the front passenger seat.
▶ It is essential to switch off the front passenger airbag if using a child seat in
which the child is carried with its back facing the direction of travel »
.
▶ If possible, adjust the front passenger seat backrest so that it is as vertical,
so as to ensure secure contact between the passenger seat backrest and the
back of the child seat.
▶ If possible, move the front passenger seat backwards so that there is no con-
tact between the front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.
▶ Set the height-adjustable front passenger seat as high up as possible.
▶ Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as possible.
▶ 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.

Adjust the height of the front passenger seat belt so that the belt does not
“jam” in the return pulley. In the event of an accident, there is the risk of in-
jury to the neck of the child carried due to the seat belt!WARNING■ Never use a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat if the pas-
senger airbag is activated. This child safety seat is positioned in the deploy-
ment area of the front passenger airbag. The airbag may cause the child se-
vere, or even fatal injuries, in the event of it being deployed.■
Once a child seat in which the child is transported with its back to the di-
rection of travel is no longer being used on the passenger seat, the front
passenger airbag should be reactivated.

The storage compartment in the front centre console can be equipped with
the Phonebox function.
If a telephone is directed with its rear side downwards on the pad in the stor-
age compartment » Fig. 79, the phone signal is amplified by the roof antenna.
Telephones that support the Qi standard for wireless charging, can also be
charged wirelessly in the storage compartment.
While wireless charging is taking place, no objects may be between the pad
and the telephone being charged.
WARNING■ The phone may become warm during wireless charging, so it should be
removed carefully from the tray.■
Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become
hot due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of injury. If there is
a metal object in the storage compartment that has become hot, then take
out the telephone and let the object cook in the storage compartment!
CAUTION
■ Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become hot
due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of damage to the tele-
phone.■
With some phones, the charging process can be interrupted or the phone can
switch off due to heating up.
■
Do not insert any electronic or magnetic storage media (e.g. SD cards, USB
sticks, cards with magnetic strips or chips) between the pad and the phone to
be charged- there is a risk of data loss and damage to these data carriers.
■
If a message appears in the Infotainment screen that the phone cannot be
charged, then proceed as follows.
■
Check that there is no object between the support and the phone to be
charged. If this is the case, then take out the object and the phone. Place the
phone centrally on the phone symbol on the pad again.
■
Check if the position of the phone to be charged has not changed during the
journey. If this is the case, then take out the phone and put it back centrally on
the phone symbol on the pad.
