WARNING
•
If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body inju- ries or major vehicle damage.•
The engine compartment of your car is
a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire wh
en working in the engine compartment,
e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and
other fluids. It is also essential to
observe all warnings
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Note
•
The arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model version. The
symbols shown in the following functional
description are to be
found as indicator
lights in the instrument cluster.•
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 -
danger) or yellow symbol
s (priority 2 - warning).

Note
The tyre inflation pressure-control system:•
does not replace the regular tyre inflatio
n pressure control, because the system
cannot detect an even pressure loss;•
cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss, e.g. in case of sudden
tyre damage. In this case carefully bring the vehicle to a standstill without sudden steering movements and without sharp braking.•
In order to ensure a proper functioning
of the tyre inflation pressure-control
system, it is necessary to carry out the basic setting again every 10 000 km or 1x a year.Diesel particle filter* (diesel engine)In the diesel particle filter the resu
lting soot particles are collected and
burnt during the combustion of diesel fuel.Code

, 7MB
or 7MG
on the vehicle data sticker, see
⇒fig. 157
, indicates that your
vehicle is equipped
with a diesel particle filter. The ve
hicle data sticker is located on
the floor of the luggage compartment and is also stated in the Service schedule. The diesel particle filter filters the soot particles completely from the exhaust. The soot is collected in the diesel particle filter and
burnt regularly. To assist this procedure, we
recommend not to drive regu
larly over short distances.
If the diesel particle filter is clogged or there
is a fault, it is indicated by the warning light

.
WARNING
•
The diesel particle filter
achieves very high temp
eratures. Therefore do not
park at points where the hot filter comes into direct contact with dry grass or other combustible materials - risk of fire!•
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection agents
for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters,
diesel particle filter
or heat shields.
When the engine reaches its operating
temperature, these
substances might
ignite - risk of fire.
Note
•
When using diesel fuel with high sulphur cont
ent the life of the diesel particle filter
is clearly reduced. A specialist garage will
be able to tell you which countries use only
diesel fuel with high sulphur content.Off-road*GeneralThe Off-road mode comprises functions which assist off-road driving. The following functions are integrated in the Off-road mode:•

Technical Data
Underbody protectionThe underside of your vehicle is protected for life against chemical and mechanical influences. One cannot, however, complete
ly rule out damage to the
protective layer
when
driving so we recommend that you inspect the protective layer on the underside of your vehicle and on the
chassis at certain intervals - this is best done at the beginning
and end of the winter - and to touch up any damaged areas. The authorised Škoda Service Partners have suitable
spray products
available as well
as the necessary equipment and are familiar with the instructions for use. It is therefore best to have such touch-up
work or additional corrosion
protection measures carried
out by an authorised Škoda Service Partner.
WARNING
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection agents for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, di
esel particle filter or heat shields.
When the engine reaches its operating
temperature, these substances might
ignite - risk of fire!Protection of hollow spacesAll the cavities of your vehicle which are at risk from corrosion are protected for life by a layer of
protective wax
applied in the factory.
This wax protection does not require to be inspected or re-treated. Please remove any small amount of wax which flows out of the cavities at high temperatures with a plastic scraper and clean the spot using petroleum cleaner.
WARNING
Safety and environmental pr
otection regulations should observed when using
petroleum cleaner to remove wax - a risk of fire!
Engine compartmentGood corrosion protection is very importan
t, particularly in winter when one often
drives over its salt-strewn roads. One should therefore clean the whole engine compartment before and after the salt spread
ing period and treat with preservative in
order to prevent the salt from being destructive. The authorised Škoda Service Partners have the cleaning agents and preservatives recommended by the manufacturer and also the required equipment.
WARNING
•
It is necessary to observ
e the guidelines given in the chapter before working
on the engine compartment
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine compart-
ment”.•
Let the engine cool down before cleaning the engine compartment.Caution
•
Engine cleaning may be only be un
dertaken when the ignition is off.
•
It is recommended to cover the generator before washing the engine compart-
ment.
For the sake of the environment
The dirty water produced by washing the engine has washed away petrol, and residues of grease and oil and should therefore be
cleaned by an oil separator. This is why
engine washing should only be undertaken in
a specialist garage or at a fueling station
(when these are fitted with the required equipment).Care of the interior of vehiclePlastic parts, artificial leather and clothsYou can clean plastic parts and artificial le
ather with a moist cloth. You should only
treat such parts with special
solvent-free plastic cleaning and care products
it does
prove to be adequate.

Fuel
200
FuelPetrolGrades of petrolThere are various grades of petrol. Please read
⇒page 243, “Technical Data” in order
to know which grade of petrol your vehicle
requires. You will also find the same infor-
mation affixed to the inside of th
e fuel filler flap of your vehicle
⇒page 201, fig. 168
.
A distinction is made between unleaded and
leaded petrol. All Škoda vehicles with
petrol engines are equipped wi
th a catalytic converter and must therefore be only
driven with
unleaded petrol
. Unleaded petrol complies with the
standard EN 228
.
The individual grades of petr
ol are distinguished by their
octane number
(RON).
Please adopt the following procedure if the grade of petrol which you normally use is not be available in exceptional circumstances. Engines which need
unleaded premium petrol 95 RON
can also be run on unleaded
regular petrol 91 RON. This does, however,
result in a slight loss in performance.
If, in an emergency, the only fuel availa
ble is one which has a lower octane number
than that required by the engine then only drive at medium engine speeds and lower engine loadings. You can make unlimited use of fuel whic
h has a higher octane number than that
required by the engine. There will, however, be no advantages gained by this in terms of engine performance and fuel consumption! The handling, performance and life of your
engine are determined to a significant
extent by the quality of the fuel. Do not use any petrol additives.
Use fuel which
complies with the standard EN 228
.
You can find further information on refuelling
⇒page 201, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Filling the tank even only once with le
aded petrol will resu
lt in the catalytic
converter being destroyed.•
Operating the engine with petrol of a low octane number can result in engine
damage at high revolutions or severe engine loading.
DieselDiesel fuelYour vehicle can be operated with
diesel fuel
, which complies with the standard
EN 590
.
Fuel additives You must not use fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and similar prod- ucts) in diesel fuel. If the quality of the diesel fuel is poor, it is then necessary to drain the
fuel filter
more
often than stated in the Service schedule. You can find information on refuelling
⇒page 201, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Only use fuel which complies with the standard
EN 590
. Filling the tank even only
once, which does not comply with the stan
dard, can result in damage to the fuel
system.•
Water which has collected in the fuel filter can result in engine problems.
•
Your vehicle is not adapted for use of biodie
sel, therefore this fuel must not be refu-
elled and driven. Using this biodiesel can lead to damage to the engine or the fuel system.Operation in winterWinter-grade diesel fuel A different grade of diesel fuel is available at filling stations in winter than during the summer. Using “summer-grade diesel fuel” at temperatures below 0°C can result in operational problems because the diesel beco
mes viscous as a result of paraffin sepa-
ration.

Technical Data
It is therefore the case that EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for certain periods of the year which can also be purchased at the co
rresponding time during the year. “Winter-
grade diesel fuel” will still operate properly even at a temperature of -20°C. It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels avail- able have a different temperature characte
ristic. The authorised Škoda Service Part-
ners and filling stations in the country concer
ned will be able to provide you with infor-
mation regarding the diesel fuels available. Prewarming fuel The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel
additives on the market, including petrol, to
diesel fuel in order to im
prove its flow properties.
RefuellingFig. 168 Right rear side of the vehicle: Fuel fi
ller flap / fuel filler
flap with cap unscrewed
The filler flap is automatically unlocke
d or locked* with the central locking.
Opening the fuel filler cap– Press in the middle of the left area of
the fuel filler flap in direction of arrow
⇒ fig. 168
.
– The fuel filler cap on the fuel filler tube
must be unlocked to the left using the
vehicle key (only valid for vehicles which
do not have automatic unlocking of the
fuel filler flap).
– Unscrew the fuel filler ca
p anti-clockwise and place the fuel filler cap from above
on the fuel filler flap
⇒fig. 168
on the right.
Closing fuel filler cap– Screw on the cap by turning it to the right until it is heard to lock. – The fuel filler cap on the fuel filler tube
must be locked to the right using the vehicle
key (only valid for vehicles which do not
have automatic locking of the fuel filler
flap).
– Close the fuel filler flap until it locks. The correct grade of fuel for your vehicle as well as the tyre size and inflation pressures are stated on a sticker affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. Further information on fuel
⇒page 200.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres.
WARNING
Pay attention to any legal requirements if
you do carry a spare canister in the
vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for safety reasons. The canister can be damaged
in the event of an accident and fuel
may leak out.
Caution
•
Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxiliary
heating and ventilation) *.•
Remove any fuel which has spilled onto th
e paintwork of your vehicle immediately
- risk of paint damage!•
On vehicles fitted with a ca
talytic converter, never let the fuel tank run completely
empty. An irregular supply of fuel to the engine can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system, which may result in overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.

Fuse cover in engine compartment The fuse box in the engine compartment exists in two different versions. You can determine which version your vehicle is fitted with after removing the fuse cover at
the location of the fuses.
On some vehicles, the battery cover must be removed before removing the fuse cover ⇒ page 210.Removing fuse cover– Move the circlips
⇒fig. 193
as far as the stop, the symbol
 appears behind the
circlip and remove the cover.
Installing fuse cover– Position the fuse cover on the fuse box and
push the circlips as far as the stop -
the symbol
 is visible behind the circlip.
Caution
•
When unlocking and locking the fuse cover, it must be pressed on the sides to the
box, otherwise damage can occur to the locking mechanism.•
Carefully position the fuse
cover in the engine compartment. If the cover was not
correctly positioned, water can get into the
fuses and this results in a damage to the
vehicle!
