Proactive occupant protection (Crew Protect Assist)
Introduction
ProActive passenger protection (following known as system) increases pas-
senger protection in the front seats in situations that could lead to vehicle im-
pact or overturning.
WARNING
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance sys-
tems
Note
The system component service life is monitored electronically. Further infor-
mation

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function
Read and observe on page 253 first.
In critical driving situations (e.g. during emergency braking or a sudden change
in direction), the following steps can be taken separately or combined in order
to reduce the risk of serious injury.
▶
The front passenger's and driver's seatbelts, if worn, are automatically ten-
sioned closely over the body.
▶
Opened electrically powered door windows are closed automatically up to a
gap of about 5 cm from the edge.
▶
The sliding/tilting roof is closed.
Once the critical driving situation has passed, the tension on the seatbelts will
be released again.
The system operates at two levels of protection.
The first level of protection
The system already intervenes in situations that may occur during dynamic
driving. As a result, this primarily helps to keep the driver and the passenger in
the correct seated position.
The first protection level can be deactivated in one of the following ways.
▶
In the infotainment system, in menu
/ tap on function surface → Driv-
er assistance.
▶
Deactivating the TCS
.
▶
By selecting the driving mode Sport
▶
By selecting the driving mode Offroad
.
After switching the ignition off and on, the system is activated in both levels of
protection.
The second level of protection
The system intervenes only if the situation is evaluated as critical, such as
when panic braking at high speeds.
This level of protection cannot be deactivated.
Vehicles with the Front Assist system
Using this information, a system intervention may also occur when there is the
danger of a collision with an obstacle detected in front of the vehicle.
Lane Departure Warning (Lane Assist)
Introduction
Fig. 309
Sensor for Lane Assist
The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overridden
at any time.
WARNING
■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems
■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNING
The system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.
■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
254
Driving
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-
screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.
Note
■
The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate
longitudinal markings.
■
The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

Tyre pressure monitoring
Introduction
The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors
the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal sounds
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶
Change of tyre pressure values.
▶
Change one or more wheels.
▶
Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶

WARNING
■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems
■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
■
Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified
inflation pressure
. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.

WARNING
■
Take care with the towing device - it may cause injury.
■
When swinging out the ball rod away from the central area of the rear
bumper, there is a danger of injury to the legs.
■
Do not manipulate the switch while a trailer or another accessory is cou-
pled to the tow bar. The tow bar could come loose - risk of accident and
injury.
■
If the indicator light it supplied the switch does not light or flashes, or if
the tow bar can not engage, then do not use this. Seek help from a special-
ist garage.
Note
When not using the towing device, always swing the tow bar under the bump-
er.
Vertical load with mounted accessories
Read and observe on page 262 first.
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the maximum length and the
permissible total weight including load must be considered.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories (from the ball of the towing
device) may not exceed 70 cm.
The permissible total weight of the installed accessory, including its load, cor-
responds to the maximum trailer load on trailers.
If the maximum trailer load in trailer operation is more than 75 kg, then the
permissible total weight of the mounted accessories including their load must
not exceed 75 kg.
This value applies if the center of gravity is at a distance of no more than 30
cm from the towing device ball head.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to the ball head of the tow-
ing device is greater than 30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of
the accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a distance of 60 cm
from the ball head, the permissible weight decreases by half).
CAUTION
Never exceed the permissible total weight of the accessories incl. load and
maximum length of the accessories – There is a risk of damage to the towing
device.
Note
We recommend that you use accessories from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

ry) the trailer / accessory lights should be checked for function.
■
Never use the securing eye to tow - risk of accident!
CAUTION
■
An improperly connected electrical installation of the trailer (accessories) can
lead to the inoperability of the vehicle electronics.
■
The total power consumption of all the connected loads to the trailer power
supply must not exceed 350 watts, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the
electrical system of the vehicle.
Loading a trailer
Correct the tyre inflation pressure on the vehicle for “full load”
.
Distribution of the cargo
Distribute the cargo in the trailer in such a way that heavy items are located as
close to the trailer axle as possible. Secure the load from slipping.

WARNING
The maximum vertical load and the maximum trailer load must not be ex-
ceeded - there is risk of accident!
Towing a trailer
Driving speed
For safety reasons, do not drive faster than 100 km/h when hitching a trailer.
Immediately reduce your speed as soon as even the slightest swaying of the
trailer is detected. Never attempt to stop the trailer from “swaying” by accel-
erating.
Brakes
Apply the brakes in good time! If the trailer is fitted with a trailer brake, apply
the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly. This will avoid brake jolts resulting
from the trailer wheels locking.
On downhill sections shift down a gear in good time to also use the engine as a
brake.
WARNING
Always drive particularly carefully with the trailer.
CAUTION
With frequent towing, the vehicle is excessively loaded so this must also be
checked between service intervals.
Anti-theft alarm system
The alarm is triggered if, with a vehicle with activated anti-theft alarm (herein-
after only warning system), the electrical connection to the trailer (accessory)
is interrupted.
Always switch off the anti-theft alarm system before a trailer (accessory) is
coupled or uncoupled
Conditions for including a trailer (accessory) in the anti-theft alarm system.
The vehicle is factory-fitted with an anti-theft alarm system and a towing
device.
The trailer (accessory) is electrically connected to the towing vehicle by
means of the trailer socket.
The electrical system of the vehicle and trailer (accessory) is functional.
The vehicle is locked and the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
The trailer (accessory) is not equipped with LED taillights.

General Maintenance
Care and maintenance
Service work, adjustments and technical alterations
Introduction
The instructions and guidelines from ŠKODA AUTO must be observed when
carrying out any modifications, repairs or technical alterations to your vehicle.
Adhering to these instructions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and
helps keep your vehicle in a good technical condition.
WARNING
■
Adjustments, repairs and technical changes to the vehicle are to be car-
ried out only by a specialist garage. Improperly conducted work (including
work on the electronic components and their software) can cause faults -
there is a risk of accidents and increased wear on parts!
■
We advise you only to use ŠKODA Original Accessories and ŠKODA Orig-
inal Parts which have been expressly approved for use on your vehicle. Reli-
ability, safety and suitability for your vehicle are guaranteed with these.
■
ŠKODA AUTO cannot assume any liability for products which have not
been approved by ŠKODA even though these may be products with a type
approval or have been approved by a nationally recognised testing labora-
tory.
Vehicle operating under different weather conditions
Read and observe on page 267 first.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with the
intended weather conditions, you should contact a ŠKODA partner. They will
advise you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the full function-
ing of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant / battery replacement
etc.).
ŠKODA Service Partner
Read and observe on page 267 first.
All ŠKODA Service Partners operate according to the most recent guidelines
and instructions from ŠKODA AUTO . All service and repair work is therefore
carried out on time and at the appropriate quality. Adhering to these instruc-
tions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and helps keep your vehicle in a
good technical condition.
We therefore advise you to have all modifications, repairs and technical altera-
tions to your vehicle carried out by a ŠKODA Service Partner.
ŠKODA Original parts
Read and observe on page 267 first.
We recommend the use of ŠKODA Original Parts for your vehicle, as these
parts are approved by ŠKODA AUTO. These parts correspond exactly to the
ŠKODA AUTO regulations and are identical to the parts used in series produc-
tion.
ŠKODA AUTO is able to warrant the safety, suitability, and long life of these
products.
ŠKODA Service Partners are liable for any defects of ŠKODA Genuine Parts for
a period of 2 years after sale in accordance with the materials defect liability,
unless agreed otherwise in the purchase agreement.
ŠKODA Original accessories

ing.
We recommend that you use ŠKODA Genuine Accessories in your vehicle.
ŠKODA AUTO has selected such accessories to ensure that they are reliable,
safe and suitable for your particular vehicle. Although we constantly monitor
the market, we are not able to assess or vouch for other products, even
though in some instances such parts may have operational approval or may
have been approved by a nationally recognised testing laboratory.

Care and maintenance
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ŠKODA Service Partners are liable for any defects of ŠKODA Genuine Acces-
sories for a period of 2 years after installation or delivery in accordance with
the materials defect liability, unless agreed otherwise in the purchase agree-
ment or any other agreements.
Spoiler
Read and observe on page 267 first.
WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with an original spoiler on the front bumper in
combination with the spoiler on the boot lid, the following instructions
must be observed - otherwise there is a risk of accidents and serious inju-
ries!
■
The vehicle must always be equipped with a spoiler on the front bumper
only in combination with the corresponding spoiler on the boot lid.
■
This kind of spoiler cannot be left on the front bumper either on its own,
in combination with another spoiler not on the luggage compartment lid or
in combination with an unsuitable spoiler on the luggage compartment lid.
■
We recommend that you consult the ŠKODA Service Partner for any re-
pairs to or replacement, addition or removal of spoilers.
■
Improperly conducted work on the spoilers of your vehicle may result in
malfunction.
Component protection
Read and observe on page 267 first.
Some electronic vehicle components (such as the instrument cluster) are fac-
tory-equipped with component protection. This ensures the functional limita-
tion of these components in a non-legitimate installation in another vehicle
(e.g. after a theft) or operation outside the vehicle.
Airbags
Read and observe on page 267 first.
WARNING
■
Modifications, repairs and technical alterations that have been carried out
unprofessionally can cause damage and operational faults, and can also se-
riously impair the effectiveness of the airbag system – risk of accident and
fatal injury!
■
A change to the vehicle's wheel suspension, including the use of non-ap-
proved wheels and tyre combinations, can alter the functioning of the air-
bag system - risk of accident and fatal injury!
WARNING
■
No changes may be made to parts of the airbag system, the front bumper
and the body.
■
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
sult in the airbag being deployed.
■
If the airbag is triggered, the airbag system must be exchanged.
WARNING
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). The resulting dam-
age can negatively affect the function of the airbag system - there is a risk
of accidents and fatal injuries! The following guidelines must be observed.
■
Any work on the front doors and their door panels must be carried out by
a specialist garage.
■
Never drive with removed inner door panels or openings in the panels.
