Switching off the automatic dimming– Press again the button - the warning light goes out . If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims
automatically
depending on
the light striking the mirror from the rear.
The mirror has no lever on the bottom edge
of the mirror. When the interior lights are sw
itched on or the reverse gear is engaged,
the mirror always moves back
into the basic position.
Note
•
Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair the
automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.•
If you switch off the automatic dimming inte
rior rear-view mirror, also the exterior
mirror dimming is switched off.Exterior mirror You can adjust the exterior mirrors electrically.The exterior mirror he
ater* only operates when the en
gine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +20°C.Heating of the external mirror*– Turn the rotary knob to position
 ⇒fig. 61
.
Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror surface is identical
to the movement of the rotary knob.
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror surface is identical
to the movement of the rotary knob.
Switching off operating control– Turn the rotary knob to position
.
Tilting surface of front pa
ssenger exterior mirror*
When the rotary knob is in position
 ⇒fig. 61
and the reverse gear is engaged, the
surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid in seeing the kerb of the pavement when parking the car. The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of the position
 and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.
Memory for exterior mirrors* On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of the exterior mirror is also stored
automatically when the se
at position is stored
⇒page 70.
WARNING
•
Convex (curved outward) or spherical (differently curved) exterior mirrors
increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited
use, therefore, for estimating distances
to the following vehicles.•
Use whenever possible the interior rear
mirror, for estimating the distances
to the following vehicles.
Note
•
Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior
mirrors if the exterior
mirror heater is

– The middle seat backrest can be folded
⇒page 74, “Folding rear seats forwards”
forwards and used as armres
t or table with cup holder
⇒page 76, fig. 73
.
– You can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses.
Note
If the middle rear seat backrest should be
folded forward for lengthy periods, then
make sure that the belt locks are not located below it - this can result in permanent damage to the upholstery.Seat heating of the front seats*You can electrically heat the seat cushions and the seat backrests of the front seats.Front seats– You can switch on and regulate the seat heating of the driver or front passenger
seat by pressing the surface of the regulator at the point at which the symbol is located
 ⇒fig. 74
.
– 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, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend not to use the seat heating.
This can lead to burns on the back, the
posterior and the legs which
are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we
recommend to make regular breaks 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 197.
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 depressing of the peda
l, 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 79.
In the event of an accident, there is such a
high kinetic energy wh
ich is produced by
small and light objects that they can cause se
vere 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
•
Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the
lashing eyes, e.g. with the fixing nets.
•
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an a
ccident 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 forward if there are any sudden driving or braking manoeuvres undertaken - 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

Rear window heater– Press button . Further information
⇒page 62, “Rear window heater”.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)*– Press the button in order to directly switch on/off the auxiliary heating (auxiliary
heating and ventilation). Further information
⇒page 105, “Auxiliary heating (auxil-
iary heating and ventilation)*”.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to ensure that the heating and ventilation systems operate properly. The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. The blower should aways be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your atten- tion and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mo
de off as soon as the windows begin
misting up.
Note
•
The whole heat output will be needed to unfrost the windscreen and side windows.
No warm air will be fed to the footwell. Th
is can lead to restriction of the heating
comfort.•
The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.

We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor
ator of the air conditioning system. This
produces a permanent odour when the air co
nditioning system is operating which can
only be eliminated through considerable
effort and expense (replacement of
compressor).Using the systemFig. 109 Climatic: Control elementsSetting temperature– Turn the control dial

Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle
196
Do not use window leathers which you have us
ed to polish the vehicle body to dry off
the windows. Residues of preservatives in the window leather can dirty the window and reduce visibility. Do not affix any stickers over the inside of
the rear window to avoid damage to the
heating elements of the rear window heater
.
We recommend using a preserva
tive from Škoda genuine accessories offered by your
Škoda dealer.
Caution
Never remove snow or ice from the glass parts with warm or hot water - risk of forma-tion of cracks in the glass!The headlight lensesPlease do not use any aggressi
ve cleaning or chemical so
lvent products for cleaning
the front headlights - risk of
damage to the
plastic lenses.
Please use
soap and clean
warm water.
Caution
Never
wipe the headlights dry and do not use any sharp objects for cleaning the plastic
lenses, this may result in damage to the
protective paintwork and consequently in
formation of cracks on the headlight lenses, e.g. through effect of chemical products.Door and window sealsThe rubber seals on the doors, boot lid,
bonnet and windows remain supple and last
longer if you treat them from time to time with a rubber care product (e.g. with a spray with silicone-free oil). You also avoid premature wear of the seals and prevent leakages in this way. It is also easier to open the doors. Rubber seals which are well cared for also do not stick together in cold winter weather.Locking cylinderWe recommend that you use the spray from Škoda original accessories with regreasing and anticorrosive effect for de-icing locking cylinders.
Note
When washing your vehicle, ensure that as
little water as possible gets into the locking
cylinders.WheelsSteel wheels You should also thoroughly wash the wheels
and wheel trims when giving your vehicle
its regular wash. This prevents any brake dust, dirt and road salt from sticking to the wheel hubs. You can remove stubborn brake
abrasion adhering to the wheels with an
industrial cleaner. Touch up
any damage to the paintwork on the wheels before rust is
able to form. Light alloy wheels Regular care of light alloy wh
eels is necessary in order to retain their decorative
appearance over long periods. It is particul
arly important to remove regularly any road
salt and brake abrasion from light alloy wheels, otherwise the light metal will suffer. Wash thoroughly and then treat the wheels with a protective product for light alloy wheels which does not cont
ain any acidic components. We recommend to apply a
hard wax layer onto the wheel hubs every
three months. You must not use any prod-
ucts which cause abrasion when treating
the wheel hubs. Any damage to the paint
layer on the wheel hubs must
be touched up immediately.
We recommend using a preservative from Šk
oda genuine accessories offered by your
Škoda dealer.
WARNING
One should remember when cleaning th
e wheels that moisture, ice and road
salt may adversely affect braking ef
ficiency - risk of an accident!
Note
Severe layers of dirt on the wheels can also
result in wheel imbalance. This may show
itself in the form of a wheel vibration which
is transmitted to the steering wheel which,
in certain circumstances, can
cause premature wear of the
steering. This means it is
necessary to remove the dirt.
