Note■In vehicles with head airbags, the lettering can be seen on the steering
wheel.■
In vehicles with front passenger airbags, the lettering
is located on the
dash panel on the passenger side.
Side airbags
Fig. 10
Location of the side airbag in the driver's seat / gas-filled side air-
bag
In the event of severe side collisions, the side airbag system provides addition-
al protection for the upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) of passengers in
the vehicle.
The side airbags are housed in the upholstery of the seat backrests of the
front seats » Fig. 10 –
.
The head airbag and belt tensioner on the relevant side are also automatically
deployed when the side airbags » Fig. 10 -
are deployed.
The load of the occupants is cushioned when plunging into the fully inflated
airbag and the risk of injury to the entire upper body (chest, stomach and pel-
vis) is reduced on the side facing the door.
WARNINGInformation on correct seated position■Your head should never be positioned in the deployment area of the side
airbag. You might suffer severe injuries in the event of an accident. This ap-
plies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable
child safety seat » page 24, Child safety and side airbag .WARNING (Continued)■
There must not be any further persons, animals or objects positioned be-
tween the occupants and the deployment area of the airbag. No accesso-
ries, such as cup holders, should be attached to the doors.■
If children adopt an incorrect seated position when travelling, they may
be exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. This
can result in serious injuries » page 22, Child seat .
WARNING■
Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent knocks, kicks
etc., impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise the system may be
damaged. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!■
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen-
ger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by ŠKODA. In view
of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use of
non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the pro-
tective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag mod-
ule must be repaired immediately by a specialist garage.
■
The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any damage,
cracks or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force in order to open
the modules.
Note
In vehicles with side airbags a label with the lettering is located on the
front seat backrests.

on page 30 first.
The red scale range of the rev counter
1
» Fig. 20 on page 30 indicates the
range in which the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The
engine control unit restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is
fitted with an automatic gearbox.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 32 .
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up in good time has the following benefits.■It helps to reduce fuel consumption.■
It reduces engine noise.
■
It protects the environment.
■
It benefits the life and reliability of the engine.
Speedometer
Read and observe
on page 30 first.
Warning against speeding
An audible warning will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h 2)
. The

» Fig. 20 on page 30 works only when the
ignition is switched on.
In vehicles with a segment display, the coolant temperature is indicated only
by one of the warning lights » page 41,
Coolant coming on or going off.
Cold range
The pointer in the left of the scale indicates that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or un-
der heavy engine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
The coolant temperature is too high if the pointer reaches the red area of the
scale. Further information » page 41.
CAUTION
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

Multifunction display (MFD)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Memory
33
Operation
34
Multifunction display details
34
Warning against speeding
35
The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which
you last selected before switching off the ignition.
The multifunction display shown in the segment display » Fig. 22 on page 33
or in the MAXI DOT display depending on your vehicle model » page 37.
On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display » page 37, there is an option not to dis-
play some of the information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully on your driving at all times. As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, there may still be black ice on the
road surface. You should therefore not rely solely on the outside tempera-
ture display for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note
■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.■
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is
not indicated in km/h on the display.
MemoryFig. 22
Multifunction display
Read and observe on page 33 first.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The se-
lected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 22.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switch memories using button
B
» Fig. 23 on page 34 on the windscreen
wiper stalk.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the
ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the
calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2
hours after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than
2 hours , the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1999 km or, for vehicles with a MAXI
DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or 9999 km. The memory is deleted
when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.33Instruments and Indicator Lights
