WARNING
The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no
objects in the luggage compartment can slide forwards if there is sudden
braking - risk of injury!
Pay attention that the seat backrests are correctly interlocked. It is only then
that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its function.
Before folding the seat backrest back in to the secure position, place the rear
lateral seat belt behind the edge of the si de trim panel. Take suitable measures
to prevent that the seat belt is jammed between the seat backrest and the side
trim panel and is thus damaged.

– You can fold down the armrest at the loop to enhance occupant comfort
page 55, fig. 53 .Seat heaters*You can electrically heat the seat cushions and the seat backrests of the front seats.
– You can switch on and regulate the seat heating of the driver or front passenger
seat by pressing the surface of the regula tor at the point at which the symbol is
located
fig. 54 .
– With one press, you can switch the heating to highest intensity which is indicated by the lighting up of the three warning lights in the switch.
– With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is down-regulated up to the switch-off. The intensity of the heating is indicated by the number of illu-
minated warning lights in the switch.
WARNING
If you or the passenger have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or beca use of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend not to use the seat heating at all. This can lead to burns on the
back, the posterior and the legs which are di fficult to heal. If the seat heating is
used, we recommend to make regular brea ks in your journey when driving long
distances, so that in specific cases as mentioned above the body can recuperate
from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate
your specific condition.
Caution
You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points in
order to avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heaters.
Do not use the seat heating if the seats ar e not occupied by persons or if objects
are fastened or stored on them, for example a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of the heating
elements in the seat heating can occur.
Do not clean the seats moist page 134.Note
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This has
a significant effect of savi ng on the battery capacity.
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.
PedalsConcerning a secure de pressing of the pedal, you should use only footmats from the
Škoda genuine accessories.
Operation of the pedals must not be hindered!
WARNING
Greater pedal distances may be needed when there is a fault in the brake
system.
Do not place any footmats or other additional floor coverings in the area of
the pedals in order to ensure that all the pedals can be fully depressed and are
able to return unobstructed to their initial position - risk of accident!
There must be no objects on the floor which could roll under the pedals. You
would then no longer be able to apply the brakes, operate the clutch or acceler-
ator - risk of accident!

luggage compartmentLoading the luggage compartmentPlease observe the following in the interest of having good handling characteristics of
your vehicle:
– Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible.
– Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
– Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or the fixing net* page 58.
In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced by
small and light objects that th ey can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of the kinetic
energy depends on the speed at which the vehi cle is travelling and on the weight of the
object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this case the more significant
factor.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an ener gy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can imagine the inju-
ries that can occur, if this “bullet” is fl ying through the interior compartment and hits
an occupant.
WARNING
Stow the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes.
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are flying
around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are thrown
back can injure the occupants - hazard.
Please note that the handling properti es of your vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as a result of the displacement of the centre of
gravity. The speed and style of driv ing must be adjusted accordingly.
The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stowed in such a
way that no objects are able to slip fo rward if there are any sudden driving or
braking manoeuvres underta ken - risk of injury!
Never drive with the boot lid fully open ed or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
On no account exceed the permissible axle loads and the permissible gross
weight of the vehicle - risk of accident!
Never transport occupants in the luggage compartment!Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater are not damaged
as a result of objects sliding in this area.
Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load page 151.Vehicles of category N1On vehicles of the category N1, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a binding
device which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for trans-
porting the goods.

WARNING
The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way that it cannot
move during the journey and when braking.
If the items of luggage or objects ar e attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, inju ries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. In order to prevent the items of luggage being thrown
forward, always use suitable lashing st raps which are firmly attached to the
lashing eyes.Note
On vehicles in the version Octavia, the to p front lashing eyes are located behind the
seat backrest page 58, fig. 55 - left.
Fixing nets - Net programme Octavia*Fig. 56 Fixing net: Horizontal pocket/vertical pocketFixing examples of the fixing net as a horizontal pocket fig. 56 - left and a vertical

WARNING
The whole strength of the net makes it possible to load the pocket with objects
of up to 1.5 kg in weight. Heavy objects are not secured sufficiently - risk of
injury and net damage!
Caution
Do not place any objects with sharp edge s in the nets - risk of net damage.

The roof rack*DescriptionPay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items on
the roof of your vehicle:
A special roof luggage rack system was de veloped for the vehicle, that is why you
should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda Auto.
The base carrier is the basi s for a complete roof luggage rack system. Separate
additional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surf-
boards, skis and boats.
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the authorised Škoda Service Partners.Caution
If you use other roof rack systems or if the roof bars are not properly fitted, then any
damage which may result to yo ur car is not covered by the warranty agreements. It is
therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting instructions supplied with the roof
luggage rack system.
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the opened
sliding/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.
Ensure that the opened boot lid do es not collide with the roof load.For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. One should
therefore take off the roof bar system after use.
