Heating and air conditioning system Introducing the subject Description and information The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat out- put only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the vehicle.
Air outlet vents Fig. 54 Dash panel: Air outlets. Open air outlet vents – To open the air outlet vents 1 ⇒ Fig. 54 press on the air outlet vent. Close air outlet vents – To close the air outlet vents 1 fold the fins back. Changing the air flow direction – Adjust the air flow direction by turning the fins.
Note If the air distribution is positioned towards the windows, the total amount of air is used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell.
Note ● Air at a temperature of about 5 °C may flow out of the vents under certain cir- cumstances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribu- tion of the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for ex- ample when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Setting the air conditioning system Recommended basic settings of the control elements of the air conditioning sys- tem for the respective operating modes: Set-up Setting of the control dial Button Ai.
Starting-off and Driving Adjusting the steering wheel position Fig. 57 Setting the steering wheel position/safe distance from the steering wheel You can adjust the height of the steering wheel position. – First adjust the driver's seat ⇒ page 38.
Position 2 Move the steering wheel back and forward a little if the ignition key cannot, or cannot easily be turned into this position, in order to release the steering lock.
It may be necessary, if the engine is very hot , to slightly depress the accelerator after the engine has started. Switching the engine off The engine can be switched off by turning the ignition key into position 1 ⇒ Fig.
Pedals Operation of the pedals must not be hindered! WARNING ● In the driver's footwell, only a footmat, which is attached to the two corre- sponding attachment points, may be used.
Range of sensors The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 150 cm from the obstacle (area A ⇒ Fig. 61 ). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the clearance is reduced. A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx.
Note ● The visual parking system is shown in the screen of the navigation unit Move & Fun within a few seconds of shifting into reverse gear. ● More information about the mobile navigation unit Move & Fun can be found in the digital operating manual in the device ⇒ page 66.

WARNING ● Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re- sponsible for road safety. Only use the system so that you are in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident! ● Always slot the navigation unit securely into the cradle and store it safely in the vehicle.
Safety Passive safety Basic information Safety first Passive safety measures reduce the risk of injury in accident situa- tions. WARNING ● This chapter contains important information on how to use the vehicle for the driver and his occupants.
● Adopt the correct seated position ⇒ page 69 , Right seat position. Also inform your occupants to adopt the correct seated position. ● Fasten the seat belt correctly. Also inform your occupants to properly fasten the seat belts ⇒ page 74, How are seat belts correctly fastened?.
WARNING (Continued) ● 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 firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle of the steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel edge).
Examples of an incorrect seated position An incorrect seated position can lead to severe injuries or death for the occupants. Seat belts offer their optimum protection only if the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed.
Seat belts Why seat belts? Fig. 72 Driver wearing seat belt It is a proven fact that seat belts offer good protection in accidents ⇒ Fig. 72 . Thus wearing a seat belt is a legal requirement in most countries. Seat belts which have been correctly fastened and adjusted hold the occupants of the car in the correct seated position ⇒ Fig.
The speed of the vehicle is, nevertheless, the most important factor. Doubling the speed of the vehicle from 25 km/h up to 50 km/hour increases the kinetic energy four times. The common opinion that it is possible to support your body in a minor accident with your hands, is incorrect.
How are seat belts correctly fastened? Fastening and unfastening three-point seat belts Fasten your seat belt before starting! Fig. 74 - Insert the tongue on the seat belt into the seat belt buckle/ - Schlosszunge vom Gurtschloss lösen Fig.
The three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a frontal collision of a certain severity. The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened. The fastened three-point seat belts are automatically tensioned in the event of a collision of a certain severity.
Airbag system Description of the airbag system General information on the airbag system The front airbag system is complementary to the three-point seat belts and offers additional protection for the head and chest area of the driver and passenger in the event of a frontal collision.
In special accident situations, both the front and the side airbags may be triggered at the same time. The airbags are not deployed in the case of minor frontal and side collisions, rear- end collisions, tilting of the vehicle and vehicle rollover.
Function of the front airbags Risk of injury to the head and chest area is reduced by fully inflated airbags. Fig. 77 Deployed front airbags The airbag system is designed in such a way that the airbags for the driver and front passenger are deployed in the event of a violent frontal collision.
WARNING (Continued) airbags be deactivated. When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, please comply with the appropriate national regulations regarding the use of child safety seats. ● There must not by any further persons, animals or objects positioned be- tween the front seated occupants and the deployment area of the airbag.
Important safety information on the side airbag Correct use of the airbag system considerably reduces the risk of injury! WARNING ● It is essential to always switch off the front passenger airbag wh.
If the airbag was switched off using the key switch on the side of the dash pan- el: ● the airbag warning light in the instrument cluster comes on for about 3 sec- onds each time the ignition is swi.
Transporting children safely What you should know about transporting children! Introducing the subject Accident statistics have revealed that children are generally more safely transported on the rear seats than on the front passenger seat. Children who are less than 1.
WARNING (Continued) ● Children should also never stand up in a vehicle or kneel on the seats when the vehicle is moving. In the event of an accident the child will be thrown through the vehicle and may as a result suffer fatal injuries, and also injure other occupants.
WARNING (Continued) ● If the front passenger airbag has been switched off by a specialist garage using the vehicle system tester, the side passenger airbag remains switched on. Please comply with any national legal regulations regarding the use of child safety seats.
Child seat Classification of child seats Only child safety seats which have an official approval and are suitable for the child, may be used. ECE-R 44 standard applies to child safety seats.
Attaching a child seat with the ISOFIX system Fig. 83 Identification versions of anchor eyelets for child safety seats. There are two anchoring eyes between the rear exterior seat backrest and the surface of the seat itself on both sides for fixing the ISOFIX system ⇒ Fig.
WARNING (Continued) ● Always securely tighten the belt of the TOP TETHER system so that the child seat is secure and lies tightly against the relevant seat. ● Attach the child seats with the TOP TETHER system only to the attach- ment eyelets provided for this purpose ⇒ Fig.
Driving Tips Intelligent Technology General information WARNING Lack of fuel can cause irregular engine running or lead to shut down the en- gine. Consequently, the systems described in this chapter m.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) The electronic differential lock prevents an individual wheel from slipping. General The EDL makes it much easier, and sometimes at all possible, to start off, acceler- ate and climb a steep hill when the conditions of the road surface are unfavoura- ble.
Brakes What has a negative effect on braking efficiency? Wear-and-tear Wear-and-tear to the brake pads is greatly dependent on the operating conditions of the vehicle and your style of driving.
WARNING ● Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary. ● The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater physical effort for braking is required when engine is switched off. Because if you do not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.
The Brake Assist is able to help you achieve a shorter braking distance in emer- gency situations by rapidly producing the pressure required in the brake system. It fully exploits the attributes of the ABS. After you release the brake pedal, the function of the Brake Assist is automatically switched off and the brakes operate in the normal way.
Driving and the Environment The first 1 500 kilometres and then afterwards New engine The engine has to be run in during the first 1 500 kilometres. Up to 1 000 kilometres ● Do not drive faster than 3/4 of the maximum speed of the gear in use, that is 3/4 of the maximum permissible engine speed.
If you drive your vehicle in a country in which unleaded petrol is not available, you must have the catalytic converter replaced later when driving the vehicle into a country in which use of a catalytic converter is mandatory.
Manual gearbox ● Drive no more than about one length of your vehicle in first gear. ● Shift up into the next higher gear at approx. 2 000 to 2 500 revs. An effective way of achieving good fuel economy is to shift up early . To shift in a fuel-efficient manner, follow ⇒ page 10, Recommended gear.
Note We recommend you have an authorised ŠKODA service partner carry out regular maintenance on your vehicle. Avoid short distances Short trips cost relatively more in fuel than longer ones. Fig. 87 Fuel consumption in litres/100 km at different temperatures Avoid driving a distance of no more than 4 km if the engine is cold.
Keeping a log of your fuel consumption If you really wish to keep a close check on your fuel consumption , it is best to en- ter the figures in a logbook. This does not take much time but is a very worthwhile exercise. It enables you to detect any change (positive and negative) at an early stage and to take any appropriate action.
Unleaded petrol A vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded pet- rol ⇒ page 93. The automobile associations can provide you with information re- garding the locations of filling stations which offer unleaded petrol.
CAUTION ● When driving through bodies of water, parts of the vehicle such as the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter, chassis or electrics can be severely damaged. ● Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permissi- ble water level for your vehicle.
General Maintenance Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle General Proper care retains the commercial value of your vehicle. Regular and proper care retains the value of your vehicle. It may also be one of the requirements for the acceptance of warranty claims relating to corrosion dam- age and paint defects on the bodywork.
Automatic car washes The paintwork of the vehicle is sufficiently resistant that the vehicle can be wash- ed normally in automatic vehicle wash plants without any problem. That said, the actual wear on the paint to a large extent depends on the design of the car wash, how the water is filtered and the type of washing detergent/care product used.
Wax treatment Good wax treatment is an effective way of protecting the paintwork from harmful environmental influences. The vehicle must be treated with a high-quality hard wax polish at the latest, when no more drops form on the clean paintwork.
CAUTION ● Never remove snow or ice from the glass parts with warm or hot water - risk of formation of cracks in the glass! ● When removing snow or ice from the windows and mirror lenses make sure not to damage the paintwork of the vehicle.
The authorised ŠKODA Service Partners have suitable spray products available as well as the necessary equipment and are familiar with the instructions for use. Therefore, we recommend you have such touch-up work or additional corrosion protection measures carried out by an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.
CAUTION ● You must on no account treat the leather with solvents (e.g. gasoline, turpen- tine), floor wax, shoe cream or such like. ● Avoid leaving your vehicle for lengthy periods in bright sunlight in order to avoid bleaching the leather.
Fuel Petrol Unleaded petrol Your vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol , which complies with the standard EN 228 (In Germany: standard DIN 51626 - 1 or E10 for unleaded fuel with octane rating 95 RON and 91 RON or DIN 51626 - 2 or E5 for unleaded fuel with octane rating 95 RON and 98 RON).
● Fuels with metallic content may not be used. Risk of engine or catalytic con- verter damage! ● LRP (lead replacement petrol) fuels with metallic components may not be used.
Inspecting and replenishing Engine compartment Unlocking and opening the bonnet Fig. 90 Unlocking the bonnet Unlocking the bonnet – Pull the unlocking lever below the dash panel on the left-hand side 1 ⇒ Fig. 90 . The bonnet jumps out of its lock as a result of the spring force.
Working in the engine compartment Particular care is required when carrying out any work in the en- gine compartment! There is a risk of injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the en- gine compartment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids.

WARNING ● Avoid dripping oil onto hot parts of the engine when topping up will oil - a risk of fire! ● Read and observe the warning notes ⇒ page 109, Working in the engine compartment before working in the engine compartment. CAUTION ● The oil level must on no account extend beyond the range A .
Please contact an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner if you have any questions re- garding the coolant or if you wish to fill up with a different coolant.
WARNING ● The cooling system is pressurized! Do not open the cap of the coolant ex- pansion bottle if the engine is still hot - risk of scalding! ● Coolant is hazardous to health. Avoid contact with the coolant. Coolant va- pours are also harmful to health.
Changing the brake fluid Brake fluid absorbs moisture. This causes the fluid to absorb moisture from the surrounding air over a period of time. Excessive water in the brake fluid may be the cause of corrosion in the brake system. The water content also lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid.
WARNING (Continued) ● Never jump-start vehicle batteries which have a too low electrolyte level - risk of explosion and caustic burns! ● Never use a vehicle battery which is damaged - risk of explosion! Immedi- ately replace a damaged vehicle battery.
Operation in winter The vehicle battery has to provide greater amounts of electricity during the win- ter. It also has only part of the initial power output at low temperatures that it has at normal temperatures. A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just below 0 °C.
Replacing the vehicle battery When replacing a vehicle battery, the new new vehicle battery must have the same capacity, voltage (12 V), amperage and be the same size. Suitable types of vehicle battery are available from an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.
Wheels and Tyres Wheels General information ● New tyres do not offer optimal grip at first. They should therefore be run in for about 500 km at a moderate speed and an appropriately cautious style of driving. You will also profit from longer tyre life.
Always check the inflation pressure of tyres when cold. Do not reduce the higher pressure of warm tyres. Adapt the inflation pressure of the tyres accordingly if your vehicle is carrying a significantly higher payload, see sticker on filler cap ⇒ Fig.
It may be advantageous to swap the tyres over “crosswise” when uneven wear characteristic arise on the running surfaces of the tyres (but not in the case of uni- directional tyres). We recommend that you contact an authorised ŠKODA Service Partner.
Note It is not normally possible to fit wheels from other models of cars for technical reasons. This may also apply in certain circumstances to the wheels of the same type of vehicle. Wheel bolts Wheels and wheel bolts are matched to each other in terms of design.
Unidirectional tyres The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the tyre . This indicates the direction of rotation of the tyre, and it is essential that the tyres are fitted on to run in this direction.
Accessories, changes and replacement of parts General ŠKODA vehicles have been built according to the latest discoveries in safety engi- neering. Thus one should not change the condition in which the vehicle was deliv- ered from the manufacturer without some thought.
CAUTION The installation of towing devices, of whatever kind, can cause major, expensive damage to the vehicle that is not covered by any ŠKODA warranty.
Do-it-yourself Do-it-yourself First-aid kit and warning triangle The first-aid kit must be stored in such a way that it is immediately ready to hand. The warning triangle can be stowed away underneath the floor covering of the luggage compartment.
The vehicle tool kit contains the following parts (depending on equipment fitted): ● Wheel wrench, ● Wire clamp for removing the full wheel trims or wheel bolt covers, ● Towing eye, ● Adapter for anti-theft wheel bolts, ● Replacement lamp, ● Screwdriver.
– Have all the occupants get out. While changing a tyre, the occupants of the vehicle should not stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a crash barrier). – Apply the handbrake firmly. – Engage the 1st gear . – Take the vehicle tool kit and the spare wheel ⇒ Fig.
Full wheel trim Fig. 102 Remove the full wheel trim Pulling off – Remove the wheel wrench and wire clamp from the tool kit. – Suspend the wire clamp in one of the recesses of the full wheel trim. – Slide the wheel wrench (or similar) through the wire clamp and remove the full wheel trim in the direction of the arrow ⇒ Fig.
