Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Memory 12
Operation 13
Multifunction display details 13
Warning against excessive speeds 14
The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display » Fig. 5
on page 12 or in the
information display » page 15 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehi-
cle.
On vehicles with an information display, there is an option to fade out some of
the information. WARNING
■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
■ Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature dis-
play that there is no ice on the road. Even at temperatures around +4 °C, black
ice may still be on the road surface – warning, drive with care! CAUTION
Pull out the ignition key if coming in contact with the display (e.g. when cleaning)
to prevent any possible damage. Note
■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures. ■ If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is not
indicated in km/h on the display.
■ The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated. Ð Memory
Fig. 5
Multifunction display
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 12.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The selected
memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 5.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the dis-
play. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance mem-
ory (memory
2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13
on the windscreen wiper lever or with the help of the adjustment wheel D
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the multifunction steering wheel.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased. £

a total of 19
hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi-
cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and
59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei-
ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period
of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected. ÐOperation

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Manually adjusting the front seats 56
Foldable front passenger seat 56
Adjusting front seats electrically 57
Memory function of the power seat 57
Memory function of the remote control key 58
Front seat heating 58
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
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
■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk of accident!
■ Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention. ■ As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch-
ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat-
tended in the car. ■ The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system -
risk of injury! ■ Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle. WARNING (Continued)
■ Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 143, 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 car is being driven - never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. This is particularly 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 mini-
mum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you - hazard!
■ Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as they may get caught be-
hind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would then no lon-
ger be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate.
■ Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects
(e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose - risk of accident! Note
■ After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle. ■ For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat
memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back-
rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■ When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings
will be deleted. Ð

Head airbags
Fig. 126
Location of the head airbag/gas-filled head airbag
In the event of a severe side collision, the head airbag system offers additional
protection for the head and neck area of passengers.
The head airbags are positioned above the doors on both sides in the interior of
the car » Fig. 126 - .
In the event of a side collision the head airbag is deployed together with the rele-
vant side airbag and the belt tensioner on the side of the car on which the acci-
dent occurs.
When deployed, the airbags cover the entire side window and door pil-
lar »
Fig. 126 - .
Any impact of the head against parts of the interior or objects outside of the car,
is cushioned by the inflated head airbag. The reduction in any impact to the head
and the resultant minimizing of any movements of the head additionally reduce
the risk of injuries to the neck area. The head airbag also offers additional protec-
tion in the case of an offset impact by covering the front door pillar. WARNING
■ There must not be any objects in the deployment area of the head airbags
which might prevent the airbags from inflating properly.
■ Only hang light items of clothing on the hooks fitted in the vehicle. Never
leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets of the items of cloth-
ing. Additionally, clothes hangers must not be used to hang up items of cloth-
ing. WARNING (Continued)
■ The airbag control unit operates with sensors located in the front doors. For
this reason no adjustments must be carried out to the doors and door panels
(e.g. additional installation of loudspeakers). Resulting damages can have a
negative affect on the operation of the airbag system. All work on the front
doors and their panels must only be carried out by a
ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ There must no other persons (e.g. children) or animals between the passen-
ger and the deployment area of the head airbag. In addition, none of the occu-
pants should lean their head out of the window when driving, or extend their
arms and hands out of the window.
■ The sun visors must not be swivelled towards the side windows in the de-
ployment area of the head airbags if any objects, such as ball-point pens, etc.
are attached to them. This might result in injuries to the occupants if the head
airbag is deployed.
■ The installation of impermissible accessories in the vicinity of the head air-
bags can considerably impair the protection offered by the head airbag in the
event of it being deployed. When the deployed head airbag is inflated, parts of
the fitted accessories could be thrown into the interior of the car and injure
the occupants » page 189, Accessories, changes and replacement of parts .Ð Deactivating airbags
Deactivating airbags
Deactivation of airbags is envisaged only for particular instances, such as if:
› using a child seat on the front passenger seat, in which the child has its back to
the vehicle's direction of travel (in some countries this must be in the direction
of travel due to different legal regulations applying) » page 143, Transporting
children safely ;
› not being able to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm between the middle of
the steering wheel and chest, despite the driver's seat being correctly adjusted;
› special attachments are required in the area of the steering wheel because of a
physical disability;
› other seats have been installed (e.g. orthopaedic seats without side airbags).
The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated
switch » Fig. 127 on page 142.
We recommend that you ask a
ŠKODA Service Partner to switch off any other air-
bags. £
