Basic requirements for start of control The CCS is activated.
On vehicles with manual transmission , second gear or higher is engaged.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission , the selector lever is in the
D/S position or in the Tiptronic position.
The current speed is higher than 20 km/h.
This, however, is only possible to the extent permitted by the engine output
and braking power of the vehicle.
WARNINGIf the engine output or engine braking effect is insufficient to maintain the
set speed, the driver must assume control of the accelerator and brake
pedals!Operation descriptionFig. 254

If no speed is set, the current speed is used.
Once the controls are activated, the CCS maintains the vehicle at the set
speed; the indicator light  lights up in the instrument cluster.
Controls are automatically interrupted if any of the following occur.
▶ The brake pedal is operated.
▶ When one of the brake assist systems (e.g. ESC) intervenes.
▶ Through an airbag deployment.
WARNING■ Always deactivate the cruise control system after use to prevent uninten-
tional switching on of the system.■
Control may only be resumed if the set speed is not too high for the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
Note
During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-
leasing the accelerator pedal will cause the speed to drop again to the set
speed.213Assist systems

WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 199, in section Introduction .
Note
■
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation » page 35 ,  Safety systems .■
If the front passenger front airbag is deactivated, the belt tensioning func-
tion for the front passenger seat is switched off.
Operation
Read and observe
on page 224 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden changein direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶ The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶ Opened door windows in the front doors are closed automatically up to a gap
of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶ The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways. ▶ in the menu 

▶ Deactivation of TCS » page 201.
▶ By selecting the driving mode
Sport
» page 223 .
Provided that the driving mode
Sport
is not selected, the system is activated
over the two levels of protection after switching the ignition off and on again.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as
when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.

The lane departure warning (hereinafter known as system) helps to keep the
vehicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor
» Fig. 264 .
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 199, in section Introduction .■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result. 

Vehicle operation in different weather conditions
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with its
intended weather conditions, please contact a ŠKODA Partner. He or she will
advise you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the full function-
ing of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant, changing the battery or
similar).
Statutory checks
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
Many countries have legislation requiring the operational reliability, safety and,
where applicable, roadworthiness and/or exhaust gas properties of a vehicle
to be tested at regular intervals. These tests can be carried out by workshops
or testing stations that have been legally authorized for this purpose.
The ŠKODA Service partners can prepare your vehicle for the official inspec-
tions, so as to ensure that it passes.
Even if you want to take your vehicle to an officially approved test centre for
prior checking in preparation for a legally required test, we recommend that
you consult your ŠKODA Service Partner beforehand.

Spoiler
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
WARNINGIf your vehicle is equipped with a Genuine Accessories spoiler on the front
bumper in combination with the spoiler on the boot lid, the following in-
structions must be observed - otherwise there is a risk of accidents and se-
rious injuries!■
The vehicle can only be equipped with a spoiler on the front bumper in
combination with the corresponding spoiler on the boot lid.
■
A Genuine Accessories spoiler cannot be fitted to the front bumper either
on its own (without a spoiler on the boot lid) or in combination with an un-
suitable spoiler on the boot lid.
■
We recommend that you consult the ŠKODA Service Partner for any re-
pairs to or replacement, addition or removal of spoilers.
■
Unprofessional work carried out on the spoilers of your vehicle may result
in malfunction.
Component protection
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
Some electronic vehicle components (such as the instrument cluster) are fac-
tory-equipped with component protection. This ensures the functional limita-
tion of these components in a non-legitimate installation in another vehicle
(e.g. after a theft) or operation outside the vehicle.
Airbags
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
WARNING■Modifications, repairs and technical alterations that have been carried out
unprofessionally can cause damage and operational faults, and can also se-
riously impair the effectiveness of the airbag system – risk of accident and
fatal injury!■
A change to the vehicle's wheel suspension, including the use of non-ap-
proved wheels and tire combinations, can impair the functioning of the air-
bag system - There is a risk of accidents and fatal injury! 
241Care and maintenance

WARNING■No changes may be made to airbag system components, the front bump-
er and the bodywork.■
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
sult in the airbag being deployed.
■
If the airbag has been deployed, the airbag system must be replaced.
WARNINGThe airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Resulting damage
can impair the functioning of the airbag system -There is a risk of accidents
and fatal injuries! The following guidelines must therefore be observed.■
Any work on the front doors and their door panels must be carried out by
a specialist garage.
■
Never drive the vehicle with the inner door panels removed or with open-
ings in the panelling.
Acceptance and recycling of used vehicles
Read and observe

Service intervals
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Overview of service intervals
243
Fixed service intervals QI1 - QI4
243
Variable service interval QI6
243
Digital Service Plan
244
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will remind
you to carry out every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time
in order to prevent you from forgetting any » page 48.
The completion of services can be verified through the printed verification
from the digital service schedule and the respective receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of aggravated operating conditions, it will be necessary to have
some service work carried out before the date of the next regular service or
between the specified service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or
the replacement of the air filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as
well as checking and replacing the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with die-
sel particle filters, which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is taken to mean aggravated operating conditions:
▶ Fuel containing sulphur.
▶ Frequent short trips.
▶ Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶ Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
▶ Frequent trailer operation.
▶ Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as is e.g. often the case in city driving.
▶ Operation predominantly during winter.
You will be told at the specialist garage whether the operating conditions of
your vehicle may make it necessary for service work to be carried out between
the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply according to the particular scope of work
required, the vehicle type and specification, and your vehicle’s condition.
Note
■ The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless sta-
ted otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO warranty terms or other agreements.■
You will be informed about the service checks and actions at each service by
the specialist garage.
