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!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING■ Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cool-
ing system is pressurized – risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the
engine to cool down before removing the cap.■
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
matically even if the ignition is off - a danger of injury is present!
CAUTION
■ Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
  Automated transmission
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
Warning light 
If the warning light 
illuminates and a beep sounds, then there is a fault to
the automated transmission. 
Do not drive the vehicle! Switch off the engine
and seek assistance from a specialist garage.

If the warning light 
illuminates and no gear change is possible, there may
be technical reasons for why the functionality of the automatic transmission is
limited.

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. 

The oil can be checked and topped up, if the following conditions are satisfied.The vehicle is standing on a horizontal surface.
The engine operating temperature is reached.
The engine is turned off.
The bonnet is open.
Checking the level›
Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the oil trough.
›
Pull out the dipstick.
›
Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and insert it again to the stop.
›
Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.
›
Re-insert the dipstick.
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.
■
If the oil level is above the range
A
, 
stop driving! Switch off the engine
and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 110 first.
›
Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening » Fig. 98 on page 109 .
›
Replenish the oil in portions of 0.5 litres in accordance with the correct speci-
fications » page 110 .
›
Check the oil level » page 110.

Pull the dipstick out as far as the stop.
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. 
