Checking the engine oil level
Fig. 100
Dipstick
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 108.
The dipstick indicates the level of oil in the engine
» Fig. 100.
Checking the oil level
› Ensure that the vehicle is positioned on a level surface and the engine has
reached its operating temperature.
› Switch off the engine.
› Open the bonnet.
› Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the oil sump and remove
the dipstick.
› Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and insert it again to the stop.
› Then pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.
Oil level within range A
›
No oil must be refilled.
Oil level within range B
›
Oil can
be refilled. It is possible that the oil level may then be within range A
after doing this.
Oil level within range C
›
Oil must be refilled. It is sufficient, once this is done, to keep the oil level within
range B
.
It is normal for the engine to consume oil. The oil consumption may be as much as
0.5 l/1 000
km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which
you operate your vehicle. Consumption may be slightly higher than this during the
first 5 000 kilometres. ä
One should therefore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably every time
after the fuel tank is filled or after driving for long stretches.
We recommend maintaining the oil level within the range A
, but not above
, if
the engine has been operating at high loads, for example, during a lengthy motor-
way trip during the summer months, towing a trailer or negotiating a high moun-
tain pass.
The warning light in the instrument cluster will indicate whether the oil level is
too low » page 16 , Engine oil pressure. In this case, check the oil level with the
dipstick, as soon as possible. Add oil accordingly. CAUTION
■ The oil level must on no account extend beyond the range A
» Fig. 100. Risk of
damaging the exhaust system!
■ If it is not possible to top up the engine oil under the prevailing conditions, do
not continue your journey! Switch off the engine and obtain professional assis-
tance from a ŠKODA specialist garage, otherwise it could cause severe engine
damage. Note

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 108.
›
Check the engine oil level
» page 111.
› Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening.
› Replenish the oil in portions of 0.5 litres in accordance with the correct specifi-
cations » page 146, Specifications and engine oil capacity .
› Check the oil level
» page 111.
› Carefully screw on the oil filler opening cap and push the dipstick in fully. Ð

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 sticker and the type plate
Fig. 128
Vehicle data sticker/type plate Vehicle data sticker
The vehicle data sticker » Fig. 128 is located on the floor of the luggage compart-
ment and is also stated in the service schedule.
The vehicle data sticker contains the following data: Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Vehicle type, engine power, transmission, paint number
Engine and gearbox 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. 128 can be seen at the bottom of the door frame after open-
ing the driver's door.
The type plate lists the following weights:
Maximum permissible gross weight
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. £ 1
