Side airbagsFig. 11
Locations of airbags: the front seat/rear
Fig. 12
Inflated airbags
In the event of severe side collisions, the side airbags provide additional pro-
tection for the upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) of passengers in the ve-
hicle.
The front side airbags are housed in the upholstery of the seat backrests of
the front seats » Fig. 11 -
 .
The rear side airbags are located between the entrance area and the seat
backrest » Fig. 11-
 .
The load of the occupants is cushioned when plunging into the fully inflated
airbag » Fig. 12 and the risk of injury to the entire upper body (chest, stomach
and pelvis) is reduced on the side facing the door.
WARNINGInformation on correct seating position■Your head should never be positioned in the deployment area of the side
airbag. You might suffer severe injuries in the event of an accident. This ap-
plies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable
child safety seat » page 23, Child safety and side airbag .■
There must not be any further persons, animals or objects positioned be-
tween the occupants and the deployment area of the airbag. No accesso-
ries, such as cup holders, should be attached to the doors.
■
If children adopt an incorrect seated position when travelling, they may
be exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. This
can result in serious injuries » page 21, Child seat .
WARNING■
Do not place any objects within the deployment area of the side airbags –
risk of injury!■
The airbag system 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). Further informa-
tion » page 151 , Airbags .
■
Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent knocks, kicks
etc., impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise the system may be
damaged. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
■
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passen-
ger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by ŠKODA. In view
of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use of
non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the pro-
tective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag mod-
ule must be repaired immediately by a specialist garage.
■
The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any damage,
cracks or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force in order to open
the modules.
Note
■ In vehicles with side airbags a label with the text  is located on the front
seat backrests.■
In vehicles with rear side airbags, the word AIRBAG is located between the
entrance area and the rear seat rest 
.
18Safety

The front passenger airbag can be switched off with the key-operated switch
» Fig. 14 on page 20 -  .

fault can occur in the system for deactivating the airbag.
■
If the 

be deployed in the event of an accident! Have the airbag system checked
by a specialist garage immediately.
■
Do not leave the key inserted in the key-operated switch while driving -
vibrations can cause the key to turn in the slot and switch on the airbag!
The airbag can be triggered unexpectedly in an accident - it may result in
injury or death!
CAUTION
An insufficiently folded out key bit can damage the key switch!20Safety

28Using the system

Revolutions counterRead and observe
on page 28 first.
The tachometer
1
» Fig. 22 on page 28 shows the actual engine speed per
minute.
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum per-
mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 40.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!
Coolant temperature gauge
Fig. 23
Coolant temperature gauge
Read and observe on page 28 first.
The display » Fig. 23 provides information on the engine coolant temperature.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle
and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale A
» Fig. 23 .
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high.
CAUTION
■ Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
