Fuel gauge- PetrolFig. 18
Petrol fuel gauge: Variant 1 /Variant 2 / Variant 3
The display » Fig. 18 only works if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 35 litres.
When the fuel level goes down to the reserve level
A
» Fig. 18 in the fuel tank,
the warning light lights up in the display variant 1 and 2 or the symbol  flashes
in the display variant 3 for 10 seconds  together with the remaining segments
of the display. There are now about 4 litres of fuel in the tank.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
WARNINGIn order for the vehicle systems to function properly and thus to make driv-
ing safe, there must be sufficient fuel in the tank. Never drive until the fuel
tank is completely empty - there is a risk of accidents!
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! Irregular supply of fuel can
cause misfiring, which can result in damage to parts of the engine and the ex-
haust system.
Note
The arrow next to the symbol within the fuel gauge displays the installation
location of the fuel filler on the right side of the vehicle.Fuel gauge - petrol / natural gasFig. 19
Petrol and natural gas gauge
The display » Fig. 19 only works if the ignition is switched on.
The pointer shows the supply of the of fuel type currently used. Gasoline reserve
Natural gas reserve
The capacity of the gasoline fuel tank is approximately 10 litres. The capacity
of the natural gas fuel tank is approximately 11 kg.
If the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches the reserve area for petrol, the warn-
ing light  lights up in the display. There are now about 5 litres of fuel in the
tank.
If the fuel level in the fuel tank reaches the reserve area for natural gas the
warning light  light up in the display. There is now about 1.5 kg of fuel in the
tank.

The windscreen washer fluid reservoir
A
is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 138 .
The capacity of the reservoir is approximately 3 litres.
Use a suitable windscreen washer fluid for the current or expected weather
conditions. We recommend that you use windscreen washer fluid from ŠKODA
Original Accessories.
CAUTION
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when re-
plenishing it with liquid - otherwise the liquid transportation system might be
contaminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to malfunction.
Engine oil
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Specification

Check and refill
124
The engine has been filled ex-factory with a high-grade oil that can be used
throughout the year (except in extreme climate zones).
We recommend that the oil changes be carried out by a ŠKODA Service Part-
ner.
The engine oil should be changed at specified service intervals » page 112.
The engine uses up some oil, depending on driving style and operating condi-
tions (up to 0.5 l / 1 000 km). Consumption may be slightly higher than this dur-
ing the first 5 000 km.WARNINGThe following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » page 120.
CAUTION
Do not add any additives to the engine oil - risk of engine damage.
Note
We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicleFig. 155
Jump-starting: 
- Discharged battery, 
- power-supplying bat-
tery / ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe
on page 139 first.
If, because of a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. To do this, jump-
start cables are required which have a sufficiently large cross-section and in-
sulated terminal clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the
power-supplying battery must not be significantly lower than the capacity of
the discharged battery. Otherwise, the vehicle may not start with the dis-
charged battery.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
›
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the power-supplying battery.
›
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the power-supplying battery.
›
For vehicles with the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to the ground
point of the engine
A
» Fig. 155 .
›
For vehicles without the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to a solid
metal part firmly attached to the engine block or directly to the engine block.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Initiate the starting process in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
WARNING■
Never clamp the jump cable to the negative terminal of the discharged
battery - risk of explosion.■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – there is a risk of short circuit.
■
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle
– there is a risk of short circuit.
■
Position the jump cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts
in the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-
age.
Towing the vehicle
Information about the towing process
Fig. 156
Braided tow rope / Spiral tow rope
To tow with a tow rope, only use a braided synthetic fibre rope » Fig. 156 - 
»
.
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar only to the towing eye at the front
» page 141 .
Conditions for towing. Vehicles with automated manual transmission cannot be towed with the
rear wheels raised - risk of gearbox damage!
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. 
