Airbag system 197
Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
− Always make sure that the openings are covered or filled, if
additional loudspeakers or other equipment parts are installed
in the inner door panels.
− Always work with a Škoda dealer or have it carried out by a
competent specialist workshop.
• Only hang light items of clothing on the clothes hooks to the
vehicle. Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the
pockets of the items of clothing.
• Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent
knocks, kicks etc., impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise
the system may be damaged. The side airbags would not be
deployed in such a case!
• Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front
passenger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by
Škoda Auto. In view of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the
backrest of the seat, use of non-approved seat or protective covers
would considerably impair the protective function of the side
airbag.
• Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side
airbag module must be repaired without delay by your specialist
garage.
• The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any
damage, cracks or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force
in order to open the modules.
• Any work on the side airbag system including removing and
installing system components because of other repair work (e.g.
removing seats) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Head airbags*
Description of the head airbags
The head airbag together with the side airbag offers
enhanced occupant protection in the event of a side colli-
sion.
The head airbags are positioned above the doors on both sides in the inte-
rior of the car ⇒ fig. 167. The installation positions are each marked with
the “AIRBAG” logo.
The head airbag together with the three-point seat belts and the side
airbags, offers additional protection for the head and neck area of the
occupants in the event of a side collision of major severity ⇒ in “Impor-
tant safety information on the head airbag” on page 198.
Apart from their normal protective function, a further task of the seat belts
is to also hold the driver and the occupants in a correct seated position in
