74 Lights and Visibility

Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror

Automatic dimming exterior mirror*

–

Turn the rotary knob to position . The movement of the mirror

surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.

The exterior mirrors are dimmed together with the interior mirror. If the automatic

dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending on the light

striking the mirror from the rear.

Switching off operating control

Turn the rotary knob to position .

When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror

always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).

–

Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror*

When the rotary knob is in position  ⇒ page 73, fig. 74 and the reverse gear is

engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid in seeing

the kerb of the pavement when parking the car.

Note

•

Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for the rear

window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior rear-view mirror is

not affected by other objects.

The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of the

position  and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.

•

Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair the

automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.

If you switch off the automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, also the exte-

rior mirror dimming is switched off.

Memory for exterior mirrors*

•

On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of the exte-

rior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is stored ⇒ page 76.

WARNING

•

Convex (curved outward) or spherical (differently curved) exterior

mirrors increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear

smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for

estimating distances to the following vehicles.

•

Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the

distances to the following vehicles.

Note

•

Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is

switched on.

You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if the power setting function fails at any

time by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.

Contact your specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of the exte-

rior mirrors.

You can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses.

WARNING

If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,

e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g.

diabetes), we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns

on the back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat

heating is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey

Note

If the middle rear seat backrest should be folded forward for lengthy periods, then

make sure that the belt locks are not located below it - this can result in permanent

damage to the upholstery.

WARNING (continued)

when driving long distances, so that in specific cases as mentioned above

the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your

Caution

luggage compartment

•

You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points

in order to avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heaters.

Loading the luggage compartment

•

Do not use the seat heating if the seats are not occupied by persons or if objects

are fastened or stored on them, for example a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of the

heating elements in the seat heating can occur.

Please observe the following in the interest of having good handling char-

acteristics of your vehicle:

•

Do not clean the seats moist ⇒ page 212.

–

Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible.

Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.

Note

•

The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This

Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or the fixing net*

has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.

⇒ page 86.

•

If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in

order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.

In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced by

small and light objects that they can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of the

kinetic energy depends on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and on the

weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this case the

more significant factor.

Pedals

Concerning a secure depressing of the pedal, you should use only footmats from

the Škoda genuine accessories.

Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured

object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times

its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can

imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “bullet” is flying through the interior

compartment and hits an occupant.

Operation of the pedals must not be hindered!

WARNING

•

Greater pedal distances may be needed when there is a fault in the brake

system.

WARNING

•

Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the

lashing eyes, e.g. with the fixing nets.

•

Do not place any footmats or other additional floor coverings in the area

of the pedals in order to ensure that all the pedals can be fully depressed and

are able to return unobstructed to their initial position - risk of accident!

WARNING (continued)

•

Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward

during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the

occupants or other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects

which are flying around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects

which are thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard.

•

Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle may be affected

when transporting heavy objects as a result of the displacement of the

centre of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accord-

ingly.

Fig. 112 Roof rail

Pay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or other items

on the roof of your vehicle:

•

A special roof luggage rack system was developed for the vehicle, that is why

you should only use a roof luggage rack which has been released for use by Škoda

Auto.

Fig. 111 Luggage compart-

ment: Slacken check points

•

The roof rail is the basis for a complete roof luggage rack system. Separate addi-

tional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surf-

boards, skis and boats.

A

The storage box Ais housed under the variable loading floor. If necessary, you can

remove it.

•

The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are

obtainable as accessories from the specialist garages.

There is a space for the vehicle tool kit under the storage box ⇒ page 242.

WARNING

Caution

The removeable storage box must be located under the loading floor for the

safe use of the variable loading floor.

Ensure that the opened boot lid does not collide with the roof load.

For the sake of the environment

The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.

You cannot make full use of the permissible roof load if you use a roof luggage rack

system with a lower load carrying capacity. The load transported on the roof

luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit which is stated in the fitting

instructions.

You can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses ⇒ fig. 113.

•

Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle change when

you transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the

displacement of the centre of gravity and the increased wind attack area -

risk of accident! You must absolutely adapt your style of driving and the

speed of the vehicle to the specific circumstances.

WARNING

•

Do not place any hot beverages into the cup holder. If the vehicle moves,

the hot beverages may spill - risk of scalding!

On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped with

a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air.

WARNING

The storage compartment is not a substitute for the ashtray and must also

not be used for such purposes - risk of fire!

At open air supply, air flows into the storage with a temperature which is as high as

the one out of the air outlet nozzles, depending on temperature setting.

The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position  through

adjustment of the control dial for air distribution. This position causes the

maximum amount of air to flow into the storage compartment (depending on the

rotary regulator position for the fan).
