Handling operating fluids

Your vehicle uses various operating fluids to operatethat can affect health or the environment when theyare emitted. These are fuel, oils, battery acid fromthe 12-volt vehicle battery, coolant and brake fluid.

▶ Only use operating fluids outdoors or in well-venti-lated areas. If required, wear protective equipment.

▶ Do not use or check operating fluids with the en-gine running.

▶ In the event of contact with operating fluids, washaffected areas with warm water. If required, seekmedical help.

▶ The leaked engine oil in the engine compartmentcan cause a fire, so wipe it off with a cloth.

▶ Store cloths soiled by brake fluids in a well-ventila-ted place until disposal. Cloths with residues of en-gine oil can ignite and cause a fire.

12 volt vehicle battery

Handling the 12-volt vehicle batteryThe battery acid of the 12-volt vehicle battery isvery caustic. Improper handling of the 12 volt vehiclebattery can cause an explosion, fire, chemical burnsor poisoning!

▶ When handling the 12-volt vehicle battery, eye andskin protection must be worn.

▶ Do not tilt the 12-volt vehicle battery, as it mayleak battery acid.

▶ If battery acid comes into contact with skin, washthe affected areas with water for a few minutes.Seek medical assistance without delay.

▶ Do not charge a frozen or thawed 12-volt vehiclebattery. Replace a frozen 12-volt vehicle battery.

▶ Do not use a damaged 12-volt vehicle battery.▶ Short circuit! The battery poles of the 12-volt vehi-

cle battery are not connected.

Electrical sockets in the vehicle

Improper use of the sockets can lead to life-threat-ening electric shock or fire.

▶ The sockets can get warm during operation. Donot touch sockets that have become warm.

▶ Protect sockets from liquids.▶ If fluid does manage to get into the power socket,

completely dry out the socket before reuse.▶ Do not insert any objects into the contacts of the

socket.

Before your journey

Adults and children, cargo and objects - everythinghas its place in the vehicle. Observe the following in-structions so that all occupants are protected in thebest possible way in the event of an accident.

Before you go▶ Ensure that you have a good view of outside the

vehicle. Attach external devices (e.g. navigation

11Correct and safe › Engine compartment

system) so that they do not restrict the view exter-nally.

▶ Adjust the rearview mirrors.▶ Close all doors and the engine compartment and

boot flap.▶ Take up the correct sitting position, adjust the

seats correctly and fasten the seat belt properly.Ensure that passengers do likewise. Always leavethe seat belt on while driving.

▶ Only one person can be secured with a seat belt.▶ Make sure that the seat belts are not trapped, e.g.

in the door or in the seat.▶ Check seat belts, their locks and attachment points

for damage.

Sitting safely

For the safety of the occupants and to reduce therisk of injury in the event of an accident, the follow-ing instructions must be observed:

▶ Stand the backrests upright. If the front passengerseat backrest has been folded forward, only theseat behind the driver's seat may be used for trans-porting passengers.

▶ Engage the rear seat backrests correctly.▶ Adjust the height-adjustable headrest so that the

top of the headrest is as close as possible to thetop of the head.

▶ On the occupied rear seat, the headrest should notbe in the lower position although the upper edge ofthe headrest should be at the same height as thetop of the head.

▶ Keep your feet in the footwell.▶ Use the entire seat.▶ Do not lean forward or sit to the side.▶ Do not hold your limbs out the window.

› Adjust the driver's seatin the longitudinal di-rection so that thepedals can be fullypushed through withslightly bent legs.

› Adjust the steeringwheel so that the dis-tance A between thesteering wheel andsternum is at least

25 cm.› Adjust the angle of the backrest so that the steer-

ing wheel can be reached at the top with your armsslightly bent.

› Move the passenger seat back as far as possible.The front passenger must maintain a distance of25 cm from the dash panel.

Correct belt webbing arrangement

The webbing arrange-ment is extremely impor-tant for the seat belts tooffer the best possibleprotection.

▶ The shoulder strapmust run over the mid-dle of the shoulder,must never run overthe neck, and must liefirmly against the body

(it must not run over loose layers of clothing).▶ The lap belt part must be placed in front of the pel-

vis and fit tightly.▶ In pregnant women, the lap belt part must be as

low as possible on the pelvis, so that no pressure isexercised on the abdomen.

▶ The webbing must not be pinched or twisted andrub against sharp edges.

▶ The webbing must not pass over solid or fragileobjects in clothing, such as a key ring, etc.

▶ The tongue may only be inserted into the buckle ofthe associated seat.

▶ The webbing must be tight. Therefore, do not at-tach clamps or similar items to the webbing for ad-justing the seat belt according to body size.

Correct steering wheel position

▶ Hold the steeringwheel with both handson the outer edge inthe “9 o'clock” and“3 o'clock” position.Otherwise, you mayexperience serious in-jury to the arms, handsand head when deploy-ing the airbag.

Securing children properly

▶ Do not carry a child on your lap, and secure thechild and yourself with a seat belt.

▶ Only transport children in a suitable childseat » page 27.

Children under 150 cm tall will not be properly pro-tected without a child seat. Children that have beeninadequately secured can be thrown through the ve-hicle in the event of an accident or a sudden ma-noeuvre. You can cause life-threatening injuries toyourself and other occupants.

12 Correct and safe › Sitting safely

If children lean forward or assume a wrong sittingposition while driving, they are more likely to be in-jured in the event of an accident. This is especiallytrue for children who are carried in the passengerseat - when the airbag system triggers, they can beseriously injured or killed!

A child that has been incorrectly secured in thewrong sitting position - endangered by the sideairbag

The child should not bein the deployment areaof the side airbag.

A child that has been properly secured in a childseat

There must be enoughroom between the childand the exit area of theside airbag for the sideairbag to offer the bestpossible protection.

Transporting objects safely

When moving heavy objects, there is a shift in em-phasis. Thus, the driving behaviour of the vehiclechanges.

▶ Adjust driving speed and driving style to thischanged driving behaviour.

Unsecured or misplaced items may be thrownaround in the event of an accident or sudden ma-noeuvre. There is a risk of serious injury and loss ofcontrol of the vehicle!

In a rear-end collision at 50 km/h unsecured objectsare thrown forward with up to 50 times their weight.A 1.5 litre water bottle is thrown with up to 75 kg.

▶ Transport objects securely.▶ Stow objects so they do not hinder the driver.

Keep the driver footwell clear.▶ Stow small items in the storage compartments.▶ Do not leave lockable storage compartments open.▶ Do not let items protrude out of the slots. This

note does not apply to bottles in bottle trays.

▶ Do not place any objects on the dash panel or onthe luggage compartment cover.

▶ Do not exceed the maximum permissible load offasteners and shelves.

▶ Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compart-ment and secure it, so that it cannot slip.

▶ Place heavy objects in the luggage compartmentas far forward as possible.

Safe driving

Introductory notes▶ Pay attention when you are driving! As a driver, you

are fully responsible for road safety.▶ Always adjust driving speed to the road conditions

as well as the traffic and weather conditions.

Paying attention to warning signalsThe driver information system warns you with indi-cator lights and messages in the event of any faults.

Failure to follow the warnings may increase the riskof accidents and injuries.

▶ If the vehicle issues a warning signal, then park thevehicle safely and follow the information in the in-strument cluster, and in this Owner's Manual.

Use assistance systemsThe assistance systems are only for support and donot absolve you from your responsibility for drivingthe vehicle.

The assistance systems are subject to physical andtechnical limitations. Therefore, in certain situations,system reactions may be perceived as undesirable ordelayed.

▶ Stay alert and be ready to intervene.▶ Familiarise yourself with the assistance systems,

their limitations and operating conditions.▶ Activate, deactivate and adjust the assistance sys-

tems so that you have full control of the vehicle inany traffic situation.

Driving with a substitute spare wheel or emergen-cy wheelA substitute spare wheel or emergency wheel is onlyused to reach the nearest specialist garage.

▶ Inflate the wheel with the max. prescribed inflationpressure.

▶ Follow the instructions on the warning label on therim.

▶ Do not cover the warning sign.▶ Avoid full accelerations, strong braking and fast

cornering.▶ Do not drive with more than one mounted spare

wheel.▶ Avoid using snow chains on the temporary spare

wheel.

13Correct and safe › Transporting objects safely

Driving with a loaded roof rackWhen transporting objects on the roof rack, the ve-hicle’s driving behaviour changes.

▶ Adapt your speed and driving style to this.

Driving through waterThere must be no water ingress into the vehicle sys-tems e.g. into the engine’s air intake system!

▶ Therefore, determine the water depth before driv-ing through water. The water level must not ex-ceed the lower edge of the lower beam.

▶ Drive at max. walking speed. Otherwise, a wavemay form in front of the vehicle, increasing the wa-ter level.

▶ Never stop in the water, do not drive backwardsand never stop the engine.

Is something wrong?▶ Pay attention to changes in vehicle handling.▶ If in doubt about safety, stop driving and seek the

help of a specialist garage.▶ Unusual vibrations or the vehicle ‘pulling’ to the

side may indicate a puncture.▶ If tyre pressure loss is very quick, try to stop the

vehicle carefully without heavy steering or heavybraking.

▶ Immediately remove foreign bodies stuck in thetyre tread.

▶ Do not remove foreign objects that have penetra-ted into the tyre. Check the tyre pressure and seekthe help of a specialised garage.

▶ Immediately remove any objects jammed underthe floor of the vehicle. These can damage the ve-hicle or ignite and cause a fire.

Stop the vehicle safely!

A vehicle that has not been secured may roll awayand cause accidents.

▶ For parking, look for a place with suitable ground.Do not park the vehicle on flammable materialssuch as dried leaves, spilt fuel. Hot vehicle partscan cause a fire.

Carry out the following activities in the specified or-der when parking.

› Stop the vehicle and keep the brake pedal de-pressed.

› Secure the vehicle with the parking brake.› For vehicles with an automatic gearbox, put the se-

ISOFIX

WARNING▶ On the retaining eyelets that are used to install the

child seat with the ISOFIXSystem provided, do notattach any other child seats, belts or objects.

The ISOFIX system allows for the fast and secure in-stallation of the child seat. The eyelets for installingthe child seat using the ISOFIX system are locatedon the outer rear seats.

A child seat that uses the ISOFIX system can only beinstalled in the vehicle if it is approved for this vehi-cle type. Further information can be obtained from aŠKODA partner or from a list of vehicles enclosedwith the child seat.

system on the seats with the eyelets TOP TETH-ERSymbol are provided.

▶ Only attach one belt from the child seat to a lock-ing eye TOP TETHER-Fasten the system.

▶ When attaching the child seat with the TOP TETH-ER- No other object may be attached to the eyeletTOP TETHERSystem.

Holding eyelets on the rear seats

The belt fastened into the TOP TETHER system re-stricts the movement of the upper part of the childseat. The holding eyelets for attaching the belt arelocated on the outer rear seats A .

Airbags

Usage

The airbag system provides, as a supplement to theseat belts, additional occupant protection during se-vere frontal and side-on collisions.

The best possible protective effect of the airbag isachieved only when the seat belt is also worn. Theairbag system is no substitute for the seat belts.


Airbag systems can only properly protect if all occu-pants have been secured and they are in the correctseating position.

No persons, animals or objects such as cup holdersor hangers for clothes may be in the deploymentarea of the airbags » page 31.

▶ Do not cover or stick anything over the steeringwheel or the dash panel. The front airbags werenot able to deploy.

Functionality

When sinking into the inflated airbag, the forwardmovement of the body is damped and the risk of in-jury is reduced.

As the airbags inflate, smoke is released. Thisdoes not indicate a vehicle fire.

Airbag deployment in the event of an accidentAirbag deployment is influenced by many factors.The deceleration rate at the time of impact is crucial.

WARNINGDanger of serious or fatal injuries!▶ Maintain the correct seating position.▶ Do not keep your limbs in the deployment area of

the airbags.

In the following situations, no airbags are deployed:

▶ Minor frontal and side collisions▶ Rear-end collision▶ Vehicle rollover

If the measured deceleration rate is below the refer-ence values programmed into the control unit, theairbags will not be deployed despite possible seriousvehicle damage.

WARNINGDanger 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.▶ Have damaged seat covers at the installation loca-

tion of the side airbags repaired by a specialist ga-rage.

Deactivating the airbagsWe recommend that you ask a ŠKODA service part-ner to deactivate any other airbags as appropriate.

Deactivation of the airbags should be considered incases such as the ones below:

▶ If the driver's seat adjustment is correct, the dis-tance of at least 25 cm between the centre of thesteering wheel and the sternum cannot be main-tained.

▶ Additional operating controls for a physically disad-vantaged driver are installed in the vehicle.

▶ The vehicle has special seats, e.g. orthopaedicseats without side airbags.

Driver assist systems

Braking and stabilising systems

Overview

Stabilisation control (ESC)ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle in borderline situa-tions (e.g. when the vehicle starts to skid). ESCbrakes the individual wheels to maintain the direc-tion of travel.

flashes - ESC is engaged

Traction control (TCS)ASR helps to stabilize the vehicle when acceleratingor driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drivepower transmitted to the wheels when the wheelsspin.

flashes - ASR is engaged

Antilock braking system (ABS)ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle duringemergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.

Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in theevent of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icyroads. If wheels of the driven axle lock, MSR increa-ses the engine speed. This reduces the braking effectof the engine and the wheels can rotate freely again.

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)EDL helps to stabilize the vehicle when driving onroad surfaces with different grip under the individualwheels. EDL brakes a spinning wheel and transmitspower to a different drive wheel.

Electronic Differential Lock (XDL+)XDS+ helps to keep the vehicle on the turn by effec-tively braking the wheels on the inner side of theturn.

Hill Hold ControlHill Hold Control helps when starting off on uphillgradients by braking the vehicle for about 2 secondsafter the brake pedal is released.

Operating conditions✓ The gradient is at least 5%.✓ The driver's door is closed.

Multi-Collision Brake (MCB)MCB helps to decelerate and stabilize the vehicle af-ter a collision with an obstacle. This reduces the riskof further collisions.

Operating conditions✓ There has been a frontal, side and rear collision of

a certain severity.

Tyres and rims


NOTICE▶ Protect tyres from contact with lubricants and

fuel.▶ Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and,

where possible, dark place. Tyres without rimsshould be stored in an upright position.

▶ Alloy rims can be damaged by grit.▶ Do not use light alloy rims with a ground surface in

wintry weather conditions or with snow chains

Causes of uneven tyre wear▶ Improper tyre pressure▶ Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration

and deceleration)▶ Wheel alignment errors▶ Incorrect wheel balancing

Wheel changes

For uniform wear on alltyres, we recommendthat you change thewheels every 10,000 kmaccording to the sched-ule.

Advice for tyre assembly› With directional tyres, observe the correct direc-

tion of rotation. The direction of rotation of thetyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the tyre.The directional tyre tread pattern usually appearswith winter and all-season tyres.

› Always replace the tyres by the axle.

Additional informationOnly fit radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling cir-cumference) and the same tread pattern on one axle.

Approved tyre sizes are specified in the technical ve-hicle documentation and in the declaration of con-formity (in the so-called COC Document).

The declaration of conformity can be obtained froma ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and somemodels).

All-season or winter tires

Usage

All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winterweather conditions. They are characterised by ‘M+S’and a mountaintop and snowflake symbol .

The symbol on the tyre provides informationabout the grip on snow.

The symbol on the tyre manufacturer's stickerprovides information about the grip on ice.


For the best possible handling, use tyres on all fourwheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.

Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-priate time. Summer tyres have better driving andbraking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roadsand at temperatures above 7 °C.

Usage conditions

If all-season or winter tyres are installed that have alower speed category than the actual specified maxi-mum vehicle speed, then proceed as follows:

› In Infotainment, set the speed limit according tothe category of tyres fitted.

› In the driver's field of view, affix a warning labelwith the maximum value of the speed category in-tended for the tyres fitted (applies only to certaincountries).

Accident data recorder (Event DataRecorder)

The vehicle is equipped with an accident data re-corder, hereinafter called as “EDR”. The purpose ofthe EDR lies in the data recording during a traffic ac-cident or another extraordinary traffic situation,hereinafter called as “accident”.

Data is only recorded in the event of an accident inwhich the restraint systems are triggered.

The EDR records the accident in a short time (ap-proximately 10 s), by showing the following informa-tion, for example:

▶ The function of certain systems in the vehicle.▶ The seat belt status of the driver and front passen-

ger.▶ The actuation of the brake and accelerator pedals.▶ The speed of the vehicle at the time of the acci-

dent.

The recorded data support the analysis of how thevehicle systems behaved shortly before, during andafter the accident. This enables them to clarify thecircumstances of the accident.

The data relating to assist systems in the vehicle isalso recorded. Whether for instance the affectedsystems were switched on or off at the correspond-ing time, whether they were only partially available

or were inactive. There is also the possibility oftracking whether these vehicle functions controlled,accelerated or decelerated the vehicle during the ac-cident. Depending on the equipment, these functionsare, e.g:

▶ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)▶ Lane Assist (Lane Assist)▶ Park steering assistant▶ Emergency braking function (Front Assist)

Under normal driving conditions, data is not recor-ded. There is no audio or video recording from thevehicle interior or surroundings. Personal data suchas name, gender, age or place where the accidentoccurred is not stored in the EDR. However, thirdparties such as law enforcement authorities may usecertain resources to connect EDR content to otherdata sources, and therefore deduce the identificationof some of the people involved in the accident wheninvestigating the causes of the accident.

For reading the EDR-Data, special equipment is re-quired and the ignition switched on.

ŠKODA AUTO will not read or otherwise process anyaccident data from the EDR without the approval ofthe vehicle owner or other person authorised for useof the vehicle. Exceptions are specified in the con-tractual arrangements, or these are subject to gener-ally binding regulations.
