The activation or deactivation of the automatic fold-

ing of the exterior mirrors, the synchronous adjust-

ment of the mirror surfaces and the lowering of the

passenger mirror surface when reversing takes place

in the infotainment in the following menu.

Seat belts

Functionality

Seat belts that are fastened correctly oﬀer very

good protection in the event of an accident. They re-

duce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of

survival in the event of a major accident.

Or:

WARNING

The seat belts must not be removed or altered in

any other way.

Do not attempt to repair the seat belts yourself.

Have a damaged seat belt replaced immediately by

a specialist garage.

▶

Troubleshooting

Electric mirror control disrupted

Adjust the mirror surface by lightly pressing your

ﬁnger.

›

Automatic belt retractor

The automatic retractor locks the belt in the event

of a jerky pull on the belt. The belts lock, for example,

when brakes are applied fully, when the car acceler-

ates, when taking turns as well as when being close

to a vehicle.

CAUTION

Risk of burns!

Do not touch heated exterior mirror surfaces.

▶

WARNING

If the seat belt does not lock when pulled jerkily,

▶

have the retractor checked by a specialist garage.

Belt tensioners

The safety for the driver, front passenger and the

two passengers on the outer seats of the second

row of seats who are wearing seat belts is en-

hanced by the belt tensioners ﬁtted to the inertia

reels of the front seats and the outer seats of the

second row of seats.

If there is a collision with a certain severity, the seat

belt is tightened by the belt tensioner so that unwan-

ted body movement is prevented.

The belt tensioner can also be deployed when the

seat belt is not fastened.

Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of a

roll-over, minor collisions or in accidents in which no

major forces are produced.

Smoke is released when the belt tensioner is de-

ployed. This does not indicate a vehicle ﬁre.

Reversible belt tensioner

Vehicles with a proactive occupant protection sys-

tem include reversible belt tensioners » page 186.

The reversible belt tensioners increase safety for the

belted driver and front passenger by automatically

tightening the seat belt tightly over the body in criti-

cal driving situations and then releasing it again.

sun visor.

For how to install and use the child seat, please note

the instructions in this Owner's Manual as well as the

instructions of the child seat manufacturer.

For safety reasons, we always recommend that chil-

dren are transported on the back seats. Carry chil-

dren on the front passenger seat only in exceptional

cases.

Stickers on the middle

body pillar on the pas-

senger side.

Child seats according to the standard ECE-R 44 of

the European Economic Commission.

Child seats according to standard ECE-R 44 are

marked with the test symbol: large E in a circle, with

the test number under it.

We recommend using child seats from the ŠKODA

Genuine Accessories range. These child seats have

been developed and tested for use in ŠKODA vehi-

cles. They comply with the standard ECE-R 44.

The following instructions must be followed when

using a child seat on the front passenger seat.

WARNING

When installing the child seat on a seat in the sec-

ond or third row of seats, adjust the corresponding

seat in front so that there is no contact between

the child seat and the seat in front, or the child be-

ing carried in the child seat.

Before installing a forward-facing child seat, adjust

the headrest so that it is as low as possible.

If the head restraint prevents the child seat from

being ﬁtted, then the head restraint must be re-

moved.

▶

When using a rear-facing child seat, the front pas-

senger airbag must be deactivated.

If possible, adjust the front passenger seat back-

rest so that it is vertical, to ensure that there is se-

cure contact between the backrest and the child

seat.

If possible, move the front passenger seat back-

wards so that there is no contact between the

front passenger seat and the child seat behind it.

Adjust the height-adjustable front passenger seat

as much as possible.

▶

After removing the child seat, reinstall the head-

rest.

When installing the child seat, avoid contact with

the area of the roof and the rear pillar. There is a

risk of injury when the head airbag is deployed.

If using a separate child seat cushion, adjust the

headrest so that the child's head is ﬂush with, but

not protruding above the height of the top edge of

the headrest.

Set the front passenger seat belt as high up as pos-

sible.

▶

WARNING

Risk of the seat belt causing a neck injury to the

transported child!

For child seats in groups 2 and 3, ensure that the

guide ﬁtting attached to the child seat headrest is

positioned in front of or at the same height as the

seat belt height adjuster on the central body pillar.

Adjust the height of the front passenger seat belt

so that the belt passes through the guide ﬁtting

without kinking and is not bent over the edge of

the guide ﬁtting.

▶

Using a child seat on the front passenger seat

When using a child seat on the passenger seat, any

country-speciﬁc regulations must be observed.

WARNING

Never use a child seat in which the child is carried

with his or her back to the direction of travel on a

seat protected by an active airbag placed in front of

the seat. This could cause serious injury to the child,

even death.

As soon as the rear-facing child seat is no longer

being used on the front passenger seat, activate

the front passenger airbag again.

WARNING

The best possible protective eﬀect of the airbag is

achieved only when the seat belt is also worn. The

airbag system is no substitute for the seat belts.

Danger of a functional restriction of the side airbags!

Do not exert excessive forces, e.g. impacts, on the

seat backs.

Do not use seat covers that have not been ap-

proved by ŠKODA.

tion of the side airbags repaired by a specialist ga-

rage.
