First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 34.
The electrically operated power windows are fitted with a force limiter. It reduces
the risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by
several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10
seconds of the window being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-
moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to
automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again. ÐWindow convenience operation

› switch on the ignition;
› pull the top edge of the button in the driver's door to close the window;
› release the button;
› pull the relevant button upwards again for approx. 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there to
be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move
back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 36.Ð Panoramic sliding roof
Introductory information
The panoramic sliding roof with sun screen can only be operated with the rotary

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Roof load 69
WARNING
■ The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably at-
tached - risk of accident!
■ Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
tensioning straps. ■ Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■ The handling properties of your vehicle change when you transport heavy or
bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displacement of the cen-
tre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of accident! The style
of driving and speed must therefore be adapted to the current circumstances. ■ Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■ Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. ■ The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and gross permissible
weight of your vehicle must not be exceeded under any circumstances - risk
of accident! £
68 Using the system

CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA.
■ If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
■ On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama roof
does not strike any items which are transported. ■ Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened. For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. ÐRoof load
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 68.
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of
100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. In this case, the roof rack system must only be loa-
ded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions. ÐCup holder
ä
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Cup holder in front centre console 69
Cup holder in rear centre console 70
ä WARNING
■ Never put hot beverage containers in the cup holder. If the vehicle moves,
they may spill - risk of scalding!
■ Do not use any cups or beakers which are made of brittle material (e.g. glass,
porcelain). This could lead to injuries in the event of an accident. CAUTION
■ Do not leave open beverage containers in the cup holder during the journey.
There is a risk of spilling e.g. when braking which may cause damage to the elec-
trical components or seat upholstery.
■ The cup holder in the rear part of the centre console must be closed (otherwise
it could get damaged) before folding forward the rear middle seat. Ð Cup holder in front centre console
