Instruments and warning lights
16
Shift into the next higher gear or select th e selector lever position D of the automatic
gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale.
Avoid high engine speeds du ring the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature page 195.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you sa ve fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres
per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle speed goes
below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge page 15, fig. 15 operates only when the ignition
is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperatur e. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full throttle
and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temper ature as soon as the pointer moves into
the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may also move further to the right at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the warning
symbol
 in the instrument cl
uster does not flash.
If the symbol  in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Observe the guidelines
 page 32, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes page 216, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonn et and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temper atures and high engine loads.Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge page 15, fig. 15 only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about
10.5 litres of fuel remaining in the ta nk. This symbol is a reminder for you, that you
must refuel .
The following will be displayed in the information display*: Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular supply of fuel can lead to irreg-
ular engine running. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and damage the
catalytic converter.

Technical Data
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dy namic driving (e.g. numerous curves, braking,
driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates approx. a fraction
less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the correct fuel supply quantity is
indicated. This effect is not a fault.Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with yo ur vehicle is shown in kilometres (km). In
some countries the measuring unit “mile” is used.
Reset button
If you hold the reset button page 15 pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter
is set back to zero.
Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since it was last reset -
in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven
The counter for distance driven indicates th e total distance in kilometers or miles
which the vehicle has been driven.
Fa u l t d i s p l a y
If there is a fault in the instru ment cluster, the constant text Error appears in the display.
Have the fault rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for safety
reasons!
Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the inform ation display* the display of the second
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the
counter for the total distance driven.
Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ on the display.
Service Interval Display
Before the next service interval a key symbol

and the remaining kilometers are
indicated after switching on the ignition fig. 16 . At the same time, a display appears
regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Service in ... km or ... days
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km. or days until
the service due date is reached.
A flashing key symbol

and the text Service appears in the display for 20 seconds
as soon as the due date for the service is reached.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Service now!
Display regarding the distance and days until the following service interval
You can use the button to display the rema ining distance driven and the days until
the next service interval page 15.
A key symbol

and a display regarding the remaining kilometers appear for 10
second in the display. At the same time, a display appears regarding the remaining days
until the next service interval.

Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a
pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:

resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,

makes an entry in the Service schedule,

affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
Reset the service interval displays by using the reset button page 15 on the trip
counter.
On vehicles which are equipped with inform ation display*, you can call up this infor-
mation in the following menu on page 23:

ResetCaution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise
this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may also result
in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note

Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.

information is retained in the Service Inter val Display also after the battery of the
vehicle is disconnected.

If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interva l Display. This work is carried out by a
specialist garage.

The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service In terval Display reset only by an author-
ised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.

Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about the
service intervals.
Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and page 15, fig. 15 .
Select the display which you wish to ch ange with the button and carry out the
change with the button .
On vehicles which are fitted out with the information display*, it is possible to set the
time in the menu Time  page 25.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons but only when
the vehicle is stationary!

In order to minimise the fuel consumptio n, a recommendation for shifting into
another gear is indicated in the display.
If the control unit recognises that it is a ppropriate to change the gear, an arrow is
shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether it is recom-
mended to shift into a higher or lower gear.
At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently engaged
gear .Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display fig. 18 or in the information
display page 23 depending on the equipm ent fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information: On vehicles which are fitted out with informat
ion display*, it is possible to switch off
the display of some information.
Caution
Pull out the ignition key while having contact with the display (for example when
cleaning) in order to prevent any damage.
Note

In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of measures.

If the display of the second speed is acti vated in mph, the current speed* is not
indicated in km/h on the display.

The multi-functional indicator is equi pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field page 19, fig. 18 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the display.
A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance memory
(memory 2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button fig. 19 on the windscreen
wiper lever or with the help of the button on the multifunction steering wheel*
 fig. 19 .
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition
is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation of the
current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off
the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other hand, if the trip
is interrupted for more than 2 hours .
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minut es driving or 1.999 kilometres driven and
on vehicles which are fitted wi th information display* up to a total of 99 hours and 59
minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of
these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after a
period of interr uption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper lever and on the multifunction steering wheel*Fig. 19 Multi-functional indica tor: Controls on the windshield wiper lever / controls on the


average speed,

Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional in dicator when the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the fu nction displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the disp lay when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal for
ice on the road) appears before the temperature indicator and a warning signal
sounds. After pressing the rocker switch  page 20, fig. 19 on the windshield wiper
lever or the button page 20, fig. 19 on the multifunction steering wheel*, the
function shown last is indicated.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature display
that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be present
on the road surface even at temperatures around +4°C - warning, drive with
care!Driving timeThe driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in the
display. If you wish to measure the driving ti me as of a particular time, you must set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button
page 20, fig. 19
on the windshield wiper lever or the handwheel page 20, fig. 19 on the multi-
function steering wheel* for longer than 1 second.
The maximum time indicated in both memories is 19 hours and 59 minutes and on
vehicles which are fitted with information display*, it is 99 hours and 59 minutes. The
indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Current consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This infor-
mation can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to
achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low speed.
The indicated value will be updated every 0.5 seconds while you are driving.Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km  page 19. This information can help you to adapt your style
of driving to the fuel cons umption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of time
you must set the memory to zero at the st art of the measurement using the button
on the windshield wiper lever page 20, fig. 19 or with the handwheel on the
multifunction st eering wheel* page 20, fig. 19 . A zero appears in the display for the
first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.
