Child seat

What you should be mindful of
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.
Child seats according to standard ECE-R 44 and
ECE-R 129 of the European Economic Commission.
Child seats according to standard ECE-R 44 and
ECE-R 129 are marked with the test symbol: large E
in a circle, with the test number below.
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 meet the norm ECE-R 44 or ECE-R 129.
WARNING
When installing the child seat on the rear seat, ad-
▶
just the front seat so that there is no contact be-
tween the front seat and the child seat or the child
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 headrest prevents the child seat from being
▶
fitted, adjust the headrest to the highest position.
When installing the child seat, avoid contact in the
▶
area of the roof and the rear column. 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.

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.
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.
This is also indicated by the following stickers.
Sticker on the passenger sun visor.
Sticker on the central body pillar on the passenger
side.
The following instructions must be followed when
using a child seat on the front passenger seat.
It is essential to deactivate the front passenger air-
▶
bag if using a child seat in which the child is trans-
ported with its back facing the direction of trav-
el » page 48.
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.
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.
