CAUTIONIf in addition to the symbol the symbol » page 35 illuminates while driv-
ing, stop driving - risk of engine damage! Switch off the engine and seek as-
sistance from a specialist garage.
Engine oil
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
When the warning light is
illuminated or is flashing , the engine oil pressure
is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
›
Stop the vehicle and switch the engine off if the warning light does not ex-
tinguish or if it begins to flash while you are driving.
›
Check the oil level and top up with engine oil if necessary
» page 110, Check-
ing the oil level .
If the oil level is within the specified range and the warning light illuminates
or blinks again after the engine is started, do not continue driving! Switch
off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
CAUTION
■ The red oil pressure light is not an oil level indicator! One should there-
fore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably after every refuelling
stop.■
Stop driving if for some reason it is not possible to top up the engine oil
under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
Coolant
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light
illuminates or flashes , either the coolant temperature is
too high or the coolant level is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning tone.
›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the coolant lev-
el » page 112 , Checking the coolant level .
›
If the coolant level is too low, add coolant to the reservoir » page 112.
Do not continue if for some reason it is not possible to fill with coolant under
the current circumstances! This can cause serious engine damage. Therefore,
switch the engine off and seek help from a specialist garage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan.›
Switch off the ignition.
›
Check the fuse for the radiator fan, replace if necessary » page 137, Fuses in
the engine compartment .
If the coolant level and fan fuse are OK and the warning light
illuminates
again after switching on the ignition,
stop driving!

The windscreen washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 99 .
The cleaning fluid is provided for the cleaning of the front and rear window.
The capacity of the tank is about 3 litres.
Water alone is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen. We recom- mend using clean water together with a screen cleaner from the range of
ŠKODA Original Accessories (with antifreeze in winter), which will remove any
stubborn dirt.

Page 113 of 164
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no
screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated
spirits must not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration
is sufficient only to -5 °C.
CAUTION
■ Under no circumstances must radiator antifreeze or other additives be added
to the windscreen washer fluid.■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when re-
filling, as this may cause contamination of the liquid transportation system,
leading in turn to a windscreen washer system malfunction.

The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use
throughout the year - except in extreme climate zones.
The engine oils are undergoing continuous further development. Thus the in- formation 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 the manu-
facturer. We therefore recommend that the oil change be completed by a
ŠKODA Service Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sep-
arately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The engine oil should be changed after specified service intervals » page 30.
WARNINGThe engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 107.CAUTIONDo not pour any additives into the engine oil – risk of serious damage to the
engine parts!
Note
■ Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you en-
gine oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle.■
We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
■
If your skin has come into contact with oil, it must be washed thoroughly.

The engine consumes a little 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 km.
The oil level must be checked at regular intervals.
In case of the oil level being too low, the display of the instrument cluster
shows the control symbol
» page 35 . Check the oil level using the dipstick as
soon as possible. Add oil accordingly.
CAUTION
■ The oil level must never be above the A range » Fig. 100 – there is a risk of
damaging the exhaust system!■
Stop driving if for some reason it is not possible to top up the engine oil
under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.

Coolant
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Checking the coolant level
112
Replenishing
112
The coolant provides cooling for the motor.
It consists of water and coolant additive with additives that protect the cooling
system against corrosion and prevents furring.
The coolant additive level in the coolant must be at least 40%.
The coolant additive may be increased to a maximum of 60%.
The correct mixing ratio of water and coolant additive is to be checked if nec- essary by a specialist garage or is to be restored if necessary.
The description of the coolant is shown in the coolant expansion reser-
voir » Fig. 101 on page 112 .
WARNINGThe engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 107.■
The coolant is harmful to health.
■
Avoid contact with the coolant.
■
Coolant vapours are harmful to health.
■
Never open the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir while the
engine is still warm. The cooling system is pressurized!
■
When opening the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir, cover it
with a cloth to protect your face, hands and arms from hot steam or hot
coolant.
■
If any coolant splashes into your eyes, immediately rinse out your eyes
with clear water and contact a doctor as soon as possible.
■
Always keep the coolant in the original container, safe from people who
are not completely independent, especially children - there is a danger of
poisoning!
■
If coolant is swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
■
Never spill operating fluids over the hot engine - risk of fire.

Please note that the brake servo unit and power steering only operate if the
engine is running. If the engine is not running, significantly more physical force
is required to depress the brake pedal and steer the vehicle.
If using a tow rope, ensure that it is always kept taught.
Both drivers should be familiar with the problems which might occur while a vehicle is being towed. Unskilled drivers should not attempt to tow in another
vehicle or to be towed in.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer if it
is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the towing dis-
tance is greater than 50 km.WARNING■ When towing, respect the national legal provisions, especially those
which relate to the identification of the towing vehicle and the vehicle be-
ing towed.■
When towing, exercise increased caution.
■
Do not use spiral rope for towing » Fig. 117-
, the towing eye may un-
screw from the vehicle - risk of accident.
■
Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ Do not tow start the engine – there is a risk of damaging the engine and the
catalytic converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-
start aid » page 130 , Jump-starting .■
If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle
raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.
■
To protect both vehicles when tow-starting or towing, the tow rope should
be elastic. Thus one should only use plastic fibre rope or a rope made out of a
similarly elastic material.
■
There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage resulting at the
points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt to tow a
vehicle which is not standing on a paved road.
■
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar only to the towing eye » page 132 .
Note
We recommend using a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories, which is
available from a ŠKODA Partner.Front towing eyeFig. 118
