Seats and StowageFront seatsBasic informationThe front seats have a wide range of differ ent settings and can thus be matched to the
physical characteristics of the driver and front passenger. Correct adjustment of the
seats is particularly important for:
safely and quickly reaching the controls,
a relaxed, fatigue-free body position,
achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING
Never transport more occupants than the maximum seating in the vehicle.
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened page 180, “Transporting children safely” with a
suitable restraint system.
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the vehicle is being driven -
never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the
surfaces of the seats. This is particular ly important for the front seat passenger.
You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply
the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you - hazard! The front seats and the head restraints must always also
be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.
Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get
behind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then no
longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except those
provided for this purpose (e.g. child safety seat) - risk of accident!
Adjusting the front seatsAdjusting a seat in a forward/back direction– Pull the lever fig. 68 up and push the seat into the desired position.
– Release the lever and push the seat further until the lock is heard to engage.Adjusting height of seat– Lift the seat if required by pu lling or pumping lever upwards.
– Lower the seat if required by pushing or pumping lever downwards.Adjust the angle of the seat backrest– Relieve any pressure on the seat backrest (do not lean on it) and turn the hand- wheel fig. 68 to adjust the desired angle of the backrest.

the seat backrest is more than 102 ° in relation to the seat cushion.
When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memory button to each additional driver.
Each new setting stored with the same button erases the previous setting.
Each time you store the seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward you
also have to re-store the individual setting of the exterior mirror on the passenger side

able front seats and mirrors*.
– Switch the ignition off within 10 seconds after storing the setting.
– Open the driver door.
– Press the unlock button on the remo te control key within 10 seconds.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also

If you wish, you can obtain an additional remote control key from an authorised Škoda
Service partner and then assign the remote control key to another memory button.
Note
If the radio remote control had previously been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
If you assign the radio remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a radio remote control, the ol d assignment is also replaced by a new
assignment in this case.
The assignment of the radio remote co ntrol to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
After the successful assignment, the turn si gnal lights flash and an audible signal
will sound as a confirmation. The setting is stored with the memory button which you
have selected.
