Seat belts
144
WARNING
Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the belt is positioned approximately across the middle of your shoulder - on no account across your neck.
Note
It is also possible to adapt the routing of the belt webbing at the front seats by adjusting the height of the seat.Taking seat belts off– Press the red button in the belt lock
⇒fig. 136
. The spring force causes the tongue
of the lock to jump out.
– Guide the belt back with your hand to en
able the inertia reel to wind up the belt
webbing more easily.
A plastic knob in the belt webbing holds the be
lt tongue in a position which is easy to
get hold of.Three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat The three-point seat belt for the rear middle seat is anchored in the area of the luggage compartment on the left side of the headliner.Your car is equipped as standard
with the three-point seat belt.
Fastening the seat belt– Pull the belt with both lock to
ngues out of the headliner mount.
– Insert the lock tongue at the end of the belt
into the seat belt buckle on the left side
until it is heard to lock in place.
– Pull the second lock tongue, which is move
able on the seat belt, over the chest and
insert it into the belt buckle on the right side until it is heard to lock in place.
– Pull on the belt to check that both lock
tongues are reliably engaged in the locks.
– The belt tongues for the rear middle seat are shaped differently so that they only fit
into the respective belt buckle. If you attempt to insert a lock tongue into the wrong belt lock it will not lock.
Taking seat belt off– Take off the seat belt in the reverse order to fastening.
WARNING
•
The three-point safety belt for the rear middle seat can only fulfil its func-
tion reliably when the backrests are correctly locked into position
⇒page 74.
•
After releasing the seat belt hold it tight and let it slowly reel up until both
lock tongues lock into the headliner mount and are secured with a magnet - risk of injury.•
Never release simultaneously both tongues of the lock.
Belt tensionersSafety for the driver and front passenger
wearing their seat belts
is enhanced by the
belt tensioners fitted to the inertia reels of
the front three-point seat belts, in addition
to the protection afforded
by the airbag system.
The three-point seat belts are automatically te
nsioned in the event of a frontal collision
of a certain severity. The belt tensioners can
also be deployed if the seat belts are not
fastened.

Transporting children safely
156
Transporting children safelyWhat you should know ab
out transporting children!
An introduction to the subject Accident statistics have revealed that children are generally more safely transported on the rear seats than on the front passenger seat.Children younger than 12 years of age should
normally travel on the rear seat of the
vehicle (take note of any national legal provis
ions which differ from this). They should
be secured there by means of a child restraint system or by using the existing seat belts depending on their age, body size and we
ight. The child seat should be mounted
behind the front passenger seat for safety reasons. The physical principle of an
accident does, of course, also apply to children
⇒ page 141, “The physical principle of a fronta
l collision”. They differ from adults in
that their muscles and bone structure of children are not yet fully developed. Thus chil- dren are exposed to increased risk of injury. Children should be transporte
d by using special child safety seats in order to reduce
this risk of injury. Use only child safety seats which are officia
lly approved and are suitable for children
and which comply with the ECE-R 44 standard, which classifies child safety seats into 5 groups
⇒page 158. Child restraint systems which have been tested for conformity
to ECE-R 44 standard have a non-detachable
test seal (a large E within a circle and
below this the test number) attached to the seat. We recommend that you use child safety seats from the Škoda genuine accessories. These child seats were developed and also tested for use in Škoda vehicles. They fulfil the ECE-R 44 standard.
WARNING
Always comply with national legal provisions and instructions from the rele-vant child safety seat manufacturer wh
en installing and using a child seat
⇒ page 156.
Note
Any varying national legal regulations take
priority over the information provided in
these instructions for use, or stated in this chapter.Important safety information regarding the use of child safety seats Correct use of child safety seats considerably reduces the risk of injury!
WARNING
•
All the occupants of the car - in particular children - must wear a seat belt
when the car is moving.•
Children who are less than 1.50 m in height and who weigh less than 36 kg
must not use a normal seat belt without a child restraint system otherwise this may result in injuries to the stomach and neck areas. Comply with the national legal requirements.•
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
•
You can transport a child safely in a suitable child safety seat
⇒page 158,
“Child seat”!•
Only one child may be fastened with a seat belt into a child safety seat.
•
Never leave the child sitting unattended in the seat.
•
Certain outside climatic conditions can cause life-threatening tempera-
tures in the vehicle.•
Never allow your child to be transported in a vehicle without the use of a
suitable restraint system.•
Children should also never stand up in
a vehicle or kneel on the seats when
the vehicle is moving. In the event of an accident the child will be thrown through the vehicle and may as a result
suffer fatal injuries
, and also injure
other occupants.•
Children are exposed to an increased risk
of injury in the event of an acci-
dent if they lean forward or adopt an in
correct seated position when the vehicle
is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported on the front

roof should be removed and secured, as the
vehicle could tilt by
a sudden shifting of
the luggage. A passenger, seated at the rear, should always
remain seated on the seat facing up the
hill during such a journey. In an extreme ca
se, the passenger on the relevant side must
exit the vehicle until you have
safely crossed the hillside.
Exiting the vehicle on a hillside If the vehicle comes to a standstill at a steep angle on a hillside and you and your passengers must exit the vehicle, then all th
e occupants should exit on the side facing
up the hill
⇒page 186, fig. 166
on the right.
WARNING
•
Never attempt to drive uphill or downhill if it is too steep for your vehicle.
The vehicle could slip, tilt or roll over - risk of accident!•
When driving at an angle on a hillside,
the vehicle can lose its grip and slide
sideways. The vehicle can tilt or roll over
and then roll down the hillside. This
can lead to serious injuries.•
Always make sure that when the vehicle
is at an angle, the wheels on the low
side do not sink deeply into the ground or into troughs and do not drive over stones, tree stumps or other obstructions
with the alternate ra
ised wheels - risk
of accident!•
Before you drive at an angle on a hillside
⇒page 186, fig. 166
, make sure
that you can steer and maintain your trajectory. If this is not possible, choose a different path. If you drive at an angle
on a hillside and there is a risk your
vehicle may tilt, steer imme
diately downhill on your trajectory and lightly
depress the accelerator.•
If the vehicle is stationary on a hillside
with a too great angle of lateral incli-
nation, avoid sudden and uncontrolled movements in the vehicle. The vehicle can roll over and then roll down the hillside. This can lead to serious injuries.•
If the vehicle is stationary on a hillside
with a too great angle of lateral incli-
nation, neither you nor your occupants must exit the vehicle through the doors facing downhill. This can lead to a shift of the overall centre of gravity. The vehicle can tilt or roll over and then roll down the hillside. This can lead to serious injuries. To avoid this, you and your occupants must exit the vehicle only on the side facing uphill
⇒page 186, fig. 166
.
•
When you exit the vehicle, make sure
that the door which faces uphill does
not close by its own weight or by carelessness - risk of injury!•
Observe the important guidelines
⇒page 180.
Driving over rutted roads and troughsYou will always encounter ruts when drivin
g on forest roads, through wet meadows
and fields as well as on rutted stretches of terrain. If the ruts and troughs are on firm and soft ground, you can simply follow the ruts.Do not drive over ruts and troughs which are
too deep. If you cannot avoid this, it is
better that you turn back.
Caution
If the ruts or troughs become too deep,
the underbody of the vehicle can touch the
ground, which might cause the
underbody to get damaged. Therefore, avoid driving in
deep ruts and troughs.Crossing a trenchIf possible, drive through the trench at an acute angle. Make sure when driving through the trench that the tilt angle is not too steep.
WARNING
Never attempt to drive through a trench if its embankment is too steep. The vehicle could slip, tilt or roll over - risk of accident!
Caution
If you drive into the trench at a right angle,
the front wheels will sink into the trench.
There is also the danger that the underbod
y of the vehicle touches the ground and is
damaged. For these reasons (even with four-wheel drive) it is rarely possible to get out of the trench.

Towing a trailer
190
Towing a trailerTo w i n g a t r a i l e rTechnical requirements The towing device must satisfy certain technical requirements.Your vehicle is designed primarily for tr
ansporting persons and luggage. It can,
however, also be used for towing a traile
r - provided certain technical equipment is
fitted. If your vehicle has already been supplied with a
factory-fitted
towing device then
everything that is nece
ssary for towing a trailer in technical terms, and in terms of the
law, has already been taken into account. Your vehicle is fitted with a 13-pin power so
cket for the electrical connection between
the vehicle and trailer. If the tr
ailer which you wish to tow has a
7-pin connector
, you
can use a suitable adapter
14) from Škoda original accessories.
This work must be carried out in accordance
with the manufacturer's specifications if
a towing device is retrofitted. Authorised Škoda Service Partners are familiar with details relating to retrofitting a towing device and for any necessary
modifications to the cooling system.
WARNING
We recommend that you have the towing device from Škoda original accesso- ries installed by an authorised Škoda Serv
ice Partner. He is familiar with all the
relevant details relating to retrofitting such equipment. There is a risk of an accident if the towing device is not properly fitted!
General Maintenance There are a number of points to pay attention to when towing a trailer.Trailer load The permissible trailer load must on no account be exceeded. You can negotiate appropriately steeper inclin
es and descents if you do not make full
use of the permissible trailer load. The trailer loads specified only apply for
altitudes
up to 1 000 metres above mean sea
level. The fact that the engi
ne power output drops with increasing height due to a
lowering of air pressure and thus the abil
ity to climb, means that the towed weight
must be reduced by 10% for every further increase of 1 000 metres in height above sea level. The towed weight is the weight of the (laden) vehicle and the (laden) trailer together. One should take this into account
before driving up to higher altitudes.
The trailer and drawbar load information on the type plate of the towing device are merely test data for the towing device. The data relating to your vehicle, which is often less than this test data, can be found in your vehicle registration documents. Distribution of the load Distribute the load in the trailer in such a
way that any heavy items are located as close
as possible to the axle. Secure th
e items to preven
t them slipping.
Tyre pressure Correct the tyre inflation pressure on yo
ur vehicle for that of “fully laden”,
⇒page 215.
The inflation pressure of the tyres fitted to
the trailer adjust in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendation. Exterior mirrors You have to have additional ex
terior mirrors fitted if you are not able to see the traffic
behind the trailer with the standard rear-view mirrors. Both exterior mirrors should be attached to folding arms. Adjust the mirrors so that they provide you with an adequate field of view to the rear.

It is therefore the case that EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for certain periods of the year which can also be purchased at the co
rresponding time during the year. “Winter-
grade diesel fuel” will still operate properly even at a temperature of -20°C. It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels avail- able have a different temperature characte
ristic. The authorised Škoda Service Part-
ners and filling stations in the country concer
ned will be able to provide you with infor-
mation regarding the diesel fuels available. Prewarming fuel The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel
additives on the market, including petrol, to
diesel fuel in order to im
prove its flow properties.

– Close the fuel filler flap until it locks. The correct grade of fuel for your vehicle as well as the tyre size and inflation pressures are stated on a sticker affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. Further information on fuel
⇒page 200.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres.
WARNING
Pay attention to any legal requirements if
you do carry a spare canister in the
vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for safety reasons. The canister can be damaged
in the event of an accident and fuel
may leak out.
Caution
•
Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxiliary
heating and ventilation) *.•
Remove any fuel which has spilled onto th
e paintwork of your vehicle immediately
- risk of paint damage!•
On vehicles fitted with a ca
talytic converter, never let the fuel tank run completely
empty. An irregular supply of fuel to the engine can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system, which may result in overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.

suffering injury.
Caution
If you have to change a wheel on a slope first block the opposite wheel with a stone or similar object in order to secure the
vehicle from unexpectedly rolling away.
Note
Comply with the national legal regulations.
Changing a wheelAlways change a wheel on a level surface as far as possible. – Take off the full wheel trim*
⇒page 226 or the caps
⇒page 226.
– In the case of light alloy wheels remove the wheel trim cap
⇒page 227.
– First of all slacken the safety wheel bolt * and afterwards the other wheel bolts
⇒ page 227.
– Jack up the vehicle until the wheel to
be changed is clear of the ground
⇒ page 227.
– Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them
on a clean surface (cloth, paper etc.).
– Take off the wheel. – Fit on the spare wheel and tighten the wheel bolts slightly.– Lower the car. – Tighten the wheel bolts firmly, alternatel
y and diagonally using the wheel wrench
(crosswise) and last the safety wheel bolt*

– Align the lifting jack* so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill at the height
of the marking on the plasti
c cover and the base plate
is resting flat with its
complete surface ag
ainst firm ground.
– Turn the lifting jack* up further until
the wheel is just cl
ear of the ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery
can cause the vehicle to slip
off the jack. It is therefore always necessary
to place the lifting jack* on a solid surface
or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-sl
ip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the
surface is smooth
, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING
•
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!
•
Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slipping
off - risk of injury!•
Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result in damage
to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not have sufficient grip - risk of injury!•
It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if you
wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!Securing wheels against being stolen* You need a special adapter for sl
ackening the safety wheel bolts.
– Pull off the full wheel trim/cap from the wheel hub or cap from the safety wheel
bolt.
– Insert the adapter with its toothed side into the inner toothing of the head of
the safety wheel bolt
⇒fig. 188
.
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter .– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly
⇒page 227.
– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or place the cap
onto the safety wheel bolt.

up by using the adapter provided.
It is meaningful to note th
e code number hammered into the rear side of the adapter
or the rear side of the safety wheel bolts.
You can obtain a replacement adapter from
an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if necessary, by quoting this number. We recommend that you always carry the ad
apter for the wheel bolts with you in the
vehicle. It should be stow
ed in the vehicle tool kit.
Caution
Damage can occur to the adapter and safety wh
eel bolt if the safety wheel bolt is tight-
ened up too much.
