Seat adjustment (Skoda Octavia 5E)

Attention! The electric adjustment of the front seats also works when the ignition is off (including with the ignition key removed). Therefore, do not leave children unattended in the car. When driving, the seat backs should not be reclined too far back, as this will negatively affect the effectiveness of the seat belts and airbags! Never take more passengers than there are seats. Each passenger must properly fasten the seat belt in their seat. Children must be fastened using special restraint systems. For maximum passenger protection, the front seats and all headrests must be adjusted to the height of the occupants, and the seat belts must always be properly fastened. Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat other than those intended for this purpose (for example, a child seat). Adjust the driver's seat only when the vehicle is stationary. The seat back tilt adjustment mechanism may develop play after a while. For safety reasons, the driver's seat and radio key position memory cannot store a seat position in which the seat back tilt angle relative to the seat cushion exceeds 102°. When you save a new position for the driver's seat and exterior mirrors, the previously saved position is deleted.
