WARNING■The system does not exempt the driver from his/her responsibility for park-
ing in and manoeuvring out of the parking space.■
External sound sources can have a detrimental effect on parking in and ma-
noeuvring out of the parking space. Under adverse conditions, this can cause
objects or people to not be recognized by the system.
■
When parking in, and manoeuvring out of parking spaces, the system auto-
matically executes quick steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between the steering wheel – risk of injury!
■
When parking or leaving a parking space on loose or slippery surfaces (grav-
el, snow, ice, etc.) you may stray from the calculated road because of the sur-
face conditions. Therefore we suggest that you do not use the system in such
situations.
CAUTION
■ If other vehicles are parked behind the kerb or on it, the system can also guide
your vehicle beyond the kerb or onto it. Ensure that the wheels or the wheel rims
of your vehicle are not damaged and if necessary intervene in time.■
Under certain circumstances, surfaces or structures of certain objects such as
wire mesh fences or powder snow cannot be recognised by the system.
■
The system function may be limited under adverse weather conditions (heavy
rain, water vapour, very low or high temperatures etc.).
■
The evaluation of the parking space and the parking procedure depends on the
circumference of the wheels on the vehicle. The system only works correctly if
the vehicle is fitted with the wheel size approved by the manufacturer.
■
If wheels other than those approved by the manufacturer are mounted, the re-
sulting position of the vehicle in the parking space can differ slightly. This can be avoided by readjusting the system at a specialist garage.
■
Under certain circumstances, the system may not function correctly, for exam-
ple, if the vehicle is fitted with snow chains or a temporary spare wheel.

Automatic brake assist
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 143.
The system provides assistance to the driver with automatic brake assist. The au-
tomatic brake assist does not exempt the driver from his/her responsibility for
the accelerator, brake and clutch.
Automatic braking for preventing cancellations caused by excessive speeds
To prevent the speed from exceeding 7 km/h and to subsequently prevent can-
cellation of the parking procedure, automatic brake support is initiated. The park-
ing procedure can be resumed after automatic braking.
Automatic braking takes place only once per parking procedure.
Automatic braking for damage limitation
The system detects an imminent collision based on the driving speed and the dis-
tance from the obstacle, automatic brake support is initiated.
The system function is ended after this automatic brake assist for damage limita-
tion.
WARNING■ Automatic brake assist only works as an element of the assist function. The
driver must always be ready to brake the vehicle him/herself.■
Automatic brake assist is ended after around 1.5 seconds. Depress the brak-
ing pedal so that the vehicle does not start moving by itself.

Fatigue detection (break recommendation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
151
Information messages
151WARNING■ For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if you
feel tired.■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
Note
■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather conditions or poor road conditions).■
The fatigue detection system is designed primarily for motorway driving.
Function
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 151.
The fatigue detection system advises the driver on the basis of information about
the steering behaviour, to take a break from driving. The system recommends a
break at speeds of 65-200 km/h.
After the ignition has been switched on, the system evaluates the steering be-
haviour for 15 minutes. This baseline analysis is constantly compared with the
current steering behaviour.
If the system detects deviations from normal steering behaviour due to possible
fatigue of the driver, it recommends to take a break from driving.
The system deletes the stored baseline analysis if one of the following condi-
tions is met.
› The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
› The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
› The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the sys-
tem recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
Activation/deactivation
The system can be activated/deactivated via the MAXI DOT display in the Assis-
tants menu option » page 28.
Information messages
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 151.
The symbol will appear in the MAXI DOT display for a few seconds, along with
the following message.
Driver alert. Take a break!
An audible signal is also emitted.

What influences driving safety?First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 160.
The driver is fully responsible for himself and his occupants. If your driving safety is effected, you place yourself and the oncoming traffic at risk.
The following guidelines must therefore be observed. › Do not become distracted from concentrating on the traffic situation, e.g. by
your passengers or mobile phone calls.
› Never drive when your driving ability is impaired, e.g. due to medication, alcohol
or drugs.
› Keep to the traffic regulations and the permissible speed limit.
› Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
› Take regular breaks on long journeys – at least every two hours.
Correct seated position
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Correct seated position for the driver
162
Correct seated position for the front passenger
162
Correct seated position for the passengers in the rear seats
162
Examples of an incorrect seating position
162WARNINGGeneral information■The front seats and head restraints must be adjusted to match the body
size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to provide the most effective levels of protection to the passengers.■
If the occupant adopts an incorrect seated position, he is exposed to life-
threatening injuries, in case he is hit by a deployed airbag.
■
If the occupants on the rear seats are not sitting upright, the risk of injury is
increased due to incorrect routing of the seat belt.
■
The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this will
impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of injury!
WARNINGInformation for the driver■Always assume the correct seated position before setting off and do not
change this position while driving. Also advise your passengers to adopt the
correct seated position and not to change this position while the car is mov-
ing.■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel, and a dis-
tance of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dash panel at the height of
the knee airbag. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
■
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering wheel in
the 12 o'clock position or in any other way (e.g. in the middle or inner edge of the steering wheel). In such cases, you could severely injure the arms, hands
and head when the driver airbag is deployed.
■
Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell, as these may get
caught in the pedal apparatus when driving or braking. You would then no
longer be able to operate the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.
WARNINGInformation for the front passenger■Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to proper-
ly protect you – hazard!■
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. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes nec-
essary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is de-
ployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated posi- tion!
161Passive Safety
Page 166 of 266
Incorrect seated positions considerably reduce the protective functions of the
seat belts and therefore increase the risk of injury due to an incorrect routing of
the seat belt.
The driver is fully responsible for himself and passengers, especially children.
Never allow a passenger to adopt an incorrect seated position when the car is
moving.
The following list contains instructions which, if not observed, may cause serious injuries or death. This list is not complete, however we would like you to familiar-
ise yourself with this subject.
Observe the following instructions while driving. › Do not stand up.
› Do not stand on the seats.
› Do not kneel on the seats.
› Do not tilt the seat backrest too far back.
› Do not lean against the dash panel.
› Do not lie on the rear seats.
› Do not sit only on the front part of the seat.
› Do not sit facing to the side.
› Do not lean out of the window.
› Do not put your feet out of the window.
› Do not put your feet on the dash panel.
› Do not put your feet on the seat cushion.
› Do not allow anybody to travel in the footwell.
› Do not drive without fastening your seat belt.
› Do not delay in the luggage compartment.

WARNINGThe airbag control unit operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or door
panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Resulting damage can have a negative impact on the function of the airbag system. Any work on thefront doors and door panels must be carried out by a specialist garage. The
following instructions must be observed.■
Never drive with inner door panels removed.
■
Never drive if parts of the inner door panel have been removed and the re-
sulting openings have not been properly sealed.
■
Never drive if the loudspeakers in the doors have been removed, unless the
loudspeaker openings have been properly sealed.
■
Always make sure that the openings are covered or filled if additional loud-
speakers or other equipment parts have been installed in the inner door pan-
els.
■
Always have work carried out by a ŠKODA service partner or a professional
specialist garage.
Note
In vehicles with head airbags, the word AIRBAG can be seen on the B and C col-
umn cladding.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Overview of service intervals
182
Fixed service intervals QI1 - QI4
183
Variable service interval QI6

Information about the ŠKODA service
183
The service interval display in the instrument cluster will remind you to carry out
every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time in order to prevent you from forgetting any.
Timely and proper performance of servicing works is one of the requirements for the settlement of potential warranty claims.
The completion of services can be verified by the validated service certificate andthe corresponding receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to have some service
work performed before the date of the next service or between the specified
service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or the replacement of the air
filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as well as checking and replacing
the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with diesel particle filters, which can put
greater strain on the engine oil.
Difficult operating conditions
› Sulphur-containing diesel fuel.
› Frequent short trips.
› Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
› Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
› Frequent trailer operation.
›
Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as is often the case in city driving, for exam-
ple.
› Operation predominantly during winter.
A service consultant at the specialist garage will tell you whether the operating conditions of your vehicle may make it necessary for service work to be carried
out between the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply from the particular scope of work required,
depending on the vehicle type and equipment and the status of your vehicle.
Note
■ The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless stated otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO a.s. warranty terms or other agreements.■
You will be informed about the current service scopes for the particular service
work by the specialist garage.
Overview of service intervals
Fig. 154
Vehicle data sticker: Service in-
terval
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 182.
The service interval specified by the manufacturer is indicated on the vehicle data
sticker » Fig. 154 under the floor covering in the boot.
One of the following service intervals applies for your vehicle:
› Fixed service interval QI1.
› Fixed service interval QI2.
› Fixed service interval QI3.
› Fixed service interval QI4.
› Variable service interval QI6.
182General Maintenance
Page 186 of 266
In order to operate a vehicle with a variable service interval, it must only be fil-
led and topped up with the prescribed engine oil.
If this engine oil is not available, the oil change is subject to a fixed service inter-
val. In this case, the vehicle must be changed to the fixed service interval.
Note
■
The corresponding motor oil specifications » page 203.■A specialist garage can perform the changeover from the variable service inter-
val to the fixed service interval, or from the fixed service interval to the variable
service interval.

WARNINGThe brake fluid must always be changed after the first 3 years and then every
2 years. Longer intervals between changing the brake fluid can cause vapour
bubbles to form in the brake system on sharp braking. This can impair the effi- ciency of the brakes – risk of accident!NoteFor diesel operation with a high sulphur content, the oil must be changed every
7,500 km. Ask your specialist garage for information on the countries where die-
sel fuel has a high sulphur content.
Variable service interval QI6
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 182.
The service intervals depend on the intensity at which the vehicle is driven and
the local conditions in which the vehicle is used. For example, your vehicle is sub-
jected to different loads when driven over short distances than when driven over
long distances. The service intervals are therefore variable.

Tests required by lawFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 184.
Many countries have legislation requiring the operational reliability and roadwor- thiness and/or exhaust gas properties of a vehicle to be tested at specific inter-
vals. These tests can be carried out by workshops or testing stations that have
been legally authorized for this purpose.
The ŠKODA Service Partners are up-to-date on the legally required tests and will
prepare the vehicle for the tests as part of a service operation if required, or will
be responsible for carrying out these tests. The specialist garages can carry out
the specified tests directly if required by the customer if they are authorised to do
so. This saves you time and money.
Even if you want to take your vehicle to an officially approved test centre for prior checking in preparation of a legally required test, we recommend that you consult
the service consultant of your ŠKODA Service Partner beforehand.
Based on their appraisal, the service consultant will tell you which areas you
should focus on in order to ensure that your vehicle will pass the technical test
without any problems. This allows you to avoid additional expenses resulting
from a possible subsequent test.
