Driving Tips
WARNING
Always stand clear of the closing range of the lid when closing the lid - risk of
accident!
Caution

In a critical situation, the movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an
abrupt and quick force against the lid.

Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the opening
or closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the roof luggage
rack or on the trailer etc.). - Risk of damaging the lid!

Make sure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened boot lid
(e.g. distance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, it may happen that the clearance
above the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load (e.g.
after unloading) - risk of damaging the lid!

Do not try to manually close the lid during the electric closing process. Damage
can occur to the system of the electric boot lid.

If you manually close the lid, make sure that you press the lock located at the
centre edge of the lid while pressing down the lid above the Škoda logo.
Note

If the electrical opening of the lid was triggered using the button on the remote
control key or the button on the centre console, an intermittent audible signal
sounds while the lid is moving.

The electric boot lid is fitted with a force limiter. If the lid hits an obstacle when
closing, it stops and an audible signal sounds. If you rapidly enter the vehicle during
the opening or closing process of the boot lid, the whole vehicle may jerk and as a
result the movement of the lid can be interrupted - the force limiter is activated.

Manually opening and closing the boot lid is only possible in exceptional cases,
in a slow manner and without sudden movements - if possible close to the centre
of the lid - ; by manipulating the lid on the sides, damage to the electric lid may
occur.

In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. In order to ensure the electrical func-
tion of the lid, relieve the lid.
