Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, if uncertain, we
recommend that bulbs are replaced by a ŠKODA specialist garage or other expert
help is sought.
› Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
› Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
› A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the
spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the boot. WARNING
■ Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.
■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment »
page 158, Engine compartment .
■ Bulbs H7 and H1 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety glasses
when changing a bulb. ■ Gas discharge bulbs (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage, professional
knowledge is required - danger to life! CAUTION
■ Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, nap-
kin, or similar. ■ When removing and installing the headlight make sure that the paintwork of
the vehicle and the headlight are not damaged. Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-
ble to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
light bulbs should be changed by a
ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs be always carried in the vehi-
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from
ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
■ We recommend that the headlight settings are checked by a ŠKODA specialist
garage after replacing a bulb in the main or low beam.
■ Gas discharge bulbs and LED diodes are replaced by a ŠKODA specialist garage. Ð Headlights

Technical data
Technical data
Introductory information
The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-
dence over the details in the Owner's Manual. Please refer to the official vehicle
registration documents or consult a
ŠKODA Service Partner to determine which
engine your vehicle is equipped with.
The listed performance values were determined without performance-reducing
equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand suspension strut dome. This number is al-
so located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen (together
with a VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number is stamped into the engine block. ÐData on the vehicle data sticker and the type plate
Fig. 170
Vehicle data sticker/type plate Vehicle data sticker
The vehicle data sticker
» Fig. 170 is located on the floor of the boot and is also
stated in the service schedule.
The vehicle data sticker contains the following data:
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Vehicle type
Gearbox code/paint number/interior equipment/engine output/engine code
Partial vehicle description
Operating weight (in kg)
Fuel consumption (in ltr./100
km) - intra-urban/extra-urban/combined
CO 2 emission levels - combined (in g/km)
Type plate
The type plate » Fig. 170 is located on the lower part of the column between the
front and rear doors on the driver's side.
The type plate lists the following weights:
Maximum permissible gross weight
Maximum permissible towed weight (towing vehicle and trailer)
Maximum permissible front axle load
Maximum permissible rear axle load
Operating weight
The specified operating weight is for orientation purposes only. This value repre-
sents the minimum operating weight without additional weight-increasing equip-
ment such as air conditioning system, spare wheel, or trailer hitch.
The operating weight also contains the weight of the driver (75 kg), the weight of
the operating fluids, the tool kit, and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
It is possible to calculate the approximate loading capacity from the difference
between the permissible total weight and the operating weight » .
The payload consists of the following components:
› Passengers
› All items of luggage and other loads
› Roof load including roof rack system
› Equipment not included in the operating weight
› Trailer drawbar load when towing a trailer (max. 80 kg).

Measuring the fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions according to the ECE
standards and EU guidelines
The measurement of the intra-urban cycle begins with a cold start of the engine.
Afterwards urban driving is simulated.
In the extra-urban driving cycle, the vehicle is accelerated and decelerated in all
gears, corresponding to daily routine driving conditions. The driving speed varies
between 0 and 120 km/h.
The calculation of the combined fuel consumption considers a weighting of about
37 % for the intra-urban cycle and 63 % for the extra-urban cycle. WARNING
Do not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights - risk of accident
and damage. Note
■ If required, you can find out the precise weight of your vehicle by contacting a
ŠKODA
Service Partner.
■ Depending on the range of equipment, style of driving, traffic situation, weather
influences and vehicle condition, consumption values may deviate from the indi-
cated values. ÐDimensions

Specifications and engine oil capacity
The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use through-
out the year - except in extreme climate zones.
Various oils can be mixed together when refilling. However, this does not apply to
vehicles with flexible service intervals.
Engine oils are, of course, undergoing continuous further development. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publica-
tion.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by
ŠKODA. We
therefore recommend that the oil change is completed by a ŠKODA Service Part-
ner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The oil capacities include oil filter change. Check the oil level when filling; do not
over fill. The oil level must be between the markings » page 161.

Only the above-mentioned oils can be used on vehicles with flexible service inter-
vals. We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since this
will maintain the properties of the oil. In exceptional cases, a maximum of 0.5
l of
specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol engines) or specification VW 505 01 (only
for diesel engines) engine oil can be used to refill once. Other engine oils must
not be used - risk of engine damage! Note
■ Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you engine
oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. ■ We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories. Ð200
