Board literature
You always find these Operating Instructions and the Service Plan in the on-
board literature for your vehicle.
Depending on the equipment, the on-board literature can also contain The ra-
dio instruction manual or Manual of the navigation system and in some coun-
tries also the brochure On the road.
Owner's Manual
These operating instructions apply to all body variants of the vehicle and all
related model versions as well as all equipment levels .
This owner's manual describes all possible equipment variants without identi-
fying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, this vehicle does not contain all of the equipment com-
ponents described in this Owner's Manual.
The scope of equipment on your vehicle depends on your purchase contract
for the vehicle. For questions regarding the scope of equipment, please con-
tact a ŠKODA Partner, if required.
The Pictures in this manual are for illustrative purposes only. The illustrations
can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only intended to provide
general information.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. pursues a policy of constant product and model develop-
ment. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time with regard to
design, equipment and technology. The information listed in this operating
manual corresponds to the information available at the time of going to press.
It is therefore not possible for legal claims to be made based on the technical
data, illustrations and information contained in this Owner's Manual.
Service schedule
The service plan includes the documentation of the vehicle handover informa-
tion with regard to warranty and service events.
The radio instruction manual
The instruction manual of the radio contains a description of the operation of
the radio, and possibly also some functions and vehicle systems.
Manual of the navigation system
The manual of the navigation system includes a description of the operation of
the navigation system, and possibly also some functions and vehicle systems.Move Brochure
The Move brochure contains phone numbers of importers and service offices in
individual countries, together with emergency numbers.4Board literature

WARNING (Continued)■The lock tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to
protect and the risk of injury increases.■
The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked, otherwise the belt
tongue will not lock in place properly.
■
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jack-
et) do not allow you to be correctly seated and impairs proper operation of
the seat belts.
■
Do not use clamps or similar items, which prevent the lash lock function
of the safety belt from operating. A seat belt which is hanging too loose
can result in injuries as your body is moved forward by the kinetic energy
produced in an accident and is then suddenly held firm by the belt.
■
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably
when the seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 87.
WARNINGInformation on the care and maintenance of the safety belts■The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belts may impair
proper operation of the inertia reel » page 183.■
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not at-
tempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
■
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If any damage
to the seat belts, seat belt connections, inertia reel or the lock is detected,
the relevant seat belt must be replaced by a specialist garage.
■
Damaged seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident
and were therefore stretched, must be replaced - this is best done by a
specialist garage. The anchorage points of the belts must also be inspec-
ted. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.
Note
The national legal requirements must be observed when using seat belts.The physical principle of a frontal collisionFig. 4
Driver without a fastened seat belt/rear seat passenger without a
fastened seat belt
Read and observe
on page 12 first.
Motion energy, so-called kinetic energy, is produced as soon as the vehicle is
moving, both for the vehicle and its occupants.
The magnitude of this kinetic energy depends essentially on the speed at
which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the vehicle including the
occupants. The greater the speed and weight increase, the greater the
amount of energy which has to be absorbed in the event of an accident.
The speed of the vehicle is the most important factor. Doubling the speed of
the vehicle from 25 km/h up to 50 km/hour increases the kinetic energy four
times.
The idea that it is possible to support your body with your hands in a minor ac-
cident is incorrect. Even in a collision at only a low speed, the forces acting on
the body are such that it is no longer possible to support your body.
Even if you only drive at a speed of 30 - 50 km/h, the forces that your body is
exposed to in the event of an accident can exceed a metric tonne (1000 kg).
For example, a person's weight of 80 kg “increases” to 4.8 tonnes (4800 kg) at
50 km/h.
In the event of a frontal collision, occupants of the car not wearing a seat belt
are thrown forward and strike parts of the interior of the car, such as the
steering wheel, dash panel, windscreen in ways which cannot be control-
led » Fig. 4 -
. In certain circumstances you could even be thrown out of the
vehicle, which could cause life-threatening or even fatal injuries.

Fuel gauge
Read and observe on page 30 first.
The fuel gauge » Fig. 24 only operates if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. If the amount of fuel reaches the reserve area (the pointer reaches the red scale range), the indicator symbol
is illuminated
» page 39 .
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel
gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.Counter for distance drivenFig. 25

Windscreen wipers and washers
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
78
Headlight cleaning system
79
The wiper and washer system provide a good view through the windscreen or
rear window.
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet is closed.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid » page 188.
WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 219.■
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety rea-
sons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
■
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
■
Automatic wiping during rain is only a support. The driver is still responsi-
ble for setting the function of the windscreen wipers manually depending
on the visibility conditions.
CAUTION■ If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on,
the windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the igni-
tion is turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold tempera-
tures between the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned
back on again.■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or be-
fore switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the
windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are fro-
zen to the windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wip-
er motor!
■
Carefully release frozen wiper blades off the windscreen.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to
the windscreen.
■
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. The wiper stops automatically after 5 attempts to eliminate the ob-
stacle, in order to avoid damage to the wiper. Remove the obstacle and switch
the wiper on again.
Note
■ Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rub-
bers.■
The rear window wiper only operates if the boot lid is closed.
■
The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen
cleaner to avoid any smears. The wiper blades should be cleaned with a
sponge or cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues, for example.
■
Keep the wiper blades clean. They may become soiled, e.g., with wax resi-
dues after washing in automatic car wash systems » page 177.
■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C.
