Resetting Service Interval Display
We recommend having this resetting performed by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda dealer:
•resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;
•makes an entry in the Service Schedule;
•affix the sticker to the side of the dash panel on the driver's side, where
the following service interval is shown.
The service interval displays can also be reset as follows by using the
reset button for the counter for distance driven:
Models with fixed service intervals (QG0)
Switch off the ignition, press the reset button of the trip counter for
distance driven and hold it down.
Switching the ignition on causes a service interval to appear in the display.
Holding the reset button down for 10 seconds will cause the counter to be
reset (the display shows “- - -” and then the trip counter readout).
The readout OIL will appear in the display after resetting the indicator
INSP and releasing the reset button when both service intervals (INSP
and OIL) were reached together.
Repress the reset button and hold it down for 10 seconds to also reset this
interval.
Vehicles with extended service intervals (QG1 and QG2)
Switch off the ignition, press the reset button of the trip counter for
distance driven and hold it down.
Switch the ignition on and release the reset button. Now turn the reset
button to the right. All counters will be reset to 0.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself
otherwise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly
set, which may also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•Information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the
battery of the vehicle is disconnected.
•It is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instru-
ment cluster is installed during repair work. this work is carried out by a
Škoda dealer.
•Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may
result in incorrect readouts.
•The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible
service intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with
fixed service intervals (QG2).
•We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset
only by a Škoda dealer who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the
display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service Plan for extensive information
about the service intervals.
Digital clock
A reset button is installed on the left below beside the speedom-
eter for adjusting the clock ⇒page 12, fig. 3 .
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.

Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment
the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow
into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours after switching off the ignition. The memory will be is auto-
matically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than
2 hours .
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of
indvidual journeys up to a total of 100 hours driving or 10 000 kilometres
driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and
the calculation starts from anew.
The memory will not, contrary to the system for the individual trip counter,
be deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of
the window wiper lever ⇒fig. 7 .
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the butt on allows one to
select the various memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the individual functions of the multi-functional indicator to appear
in the display one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.

The following readouts will be set to zero by button :
•Average fuel consumption
•distance driven
•Average speed
•Driving time
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is
switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the
one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
The outside temperature indicator will appear with a snowflake symbol
when the outside temperature lies between +5°C and -5°C. The symbol
warns the driver of the possible danger of ice on the road. After the rocker
switch is actuated, the function displays the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
The outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is
switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5
minutes. If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the
temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outside
temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
An ice crystal symbol appears in the temperature display if the outside
temperature is between about +5°C and -5°C ⇒fig. 8.
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data
(guidance to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for
vehicles which have a navigation and information display).
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the
distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of
fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps
of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating
the range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on,
the range will be increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting and recon-
necting the battery) before a new readout for the range is displayed.

The indicator light comes on when the main beam is selected or also
when the headlight flasher is operated.
Further information about the main beam ⇒page 54.
Low beam
The indicator light comes on when low beam is selected ⇒ page 52.
Interlocking of the backrests of the rear seats*
The warning light is only installed on vehicles with a three-point safety
belt on the middle rear seat.
The warning light lights up for 20 seconds after the ignition is switched on
if the backrests of the rear seats are not interlocked.
The warning light will light up permanently if the backrest comes loose
while driving.
The rear fog light
The warning light comes on when the rear fog lights are operating
⇒ page 53.
Dynamo
The warning light comes on after the ignition has been switched on. It
should go out after the engine has started.
If the warning light does not go off after the engine is started or comes on
when driving, stop the car and switch the engine off . Check the V-
ribbed belt.
One can still drive to the next Skoda dealer if the V-ribbed belt is in good
order but the warning light is still lit up. The vehicle battery will be
discharged in this case so switch off all non-essential electrical compo-
nents.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
ALTERNATOR WORKSHOP!
Caution
If the warning light comes on when driving and the warning light
(cooling system fault) also comes on in display then you must stop the
vehicle immediately and switch the engine off. The coolant pump is no
longer being driven - risk of damage to engine! WARNING
The three-point safety belt can only fulfil its function reliably when
the backrests of the rear seats are correctly locked into position
⇒ page 67.

Changing the key battery
Each radio-operated key contains a battery which is housed in
the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 19 . We recom- mend that you have the batteries of the key replaced by a Škoda
dealer. You should, however, proceed as follows if you wish to
replace the battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a thin screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the
key ⇒fig. 19 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒fig. 20 in direc-
tion of arrow.
– Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing downwards. The correct polarity is also
shown on the cover of the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accordance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the orig-
inal battery.
•If it is still not be possible to unlock or lock the vehicle with the remote
control even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to
be synchronised ⇒page 45.

The remote control allows activation of the anti-theft alarm system*
⇒ page 46 and locking of the vehicle or dectivation of the anti-theft alarm
system and unlocking of the vehicle.
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again automatically if you unlock the
vehicle using button but do not open a door or the boot lid within the
next 30 seconds. This function is intended to prevent the vehicle being
unlocked unintentionally.
The safe securing system along with the anti-theft alarm system* are,
however, deactivated during these 30 seconds.
When the vehicle is unlocked or locked, the interior lights in the door
contact are automatically switched on or off. The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been
correctly locked.
Note
•Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are
closed and you have visual contact with the vehicle.
•Once in the car, you must not press the lock button of the master key
before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being
inadvertently locked and, in addition, the anti-theft alarm system* being
switched on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
of the master
key.
•The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is
switched on.
•The operating range of the remote control is 10 metres but this range
can be reduced if the battery is weak.
Synchronisation of the vehicle key code
If the vehicle cannot be unlocked by actuating the remote control system
then it is possible that the code in the key and the control unit in the vehicle
are no longer synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-

range of the equipment or the battery on the remote control was replaced.
This means that the code must be resynchronised by pressing any button
on the remote control. Pressing of a button means that the door will be
openable with the key within 1 minute.
Anti-theft alarm system*
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against
people seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and
visual warning signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system switched on?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is
locked with the key on the closed driver's door or by using the remote
control. It is ready to operate 30 seconds after closing the door.
How is the alarm system switched off?
The anti-theft alarm system is switched off if the vehicle is unlocked by
only using the remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if
the vehicle is not opened within 30 seconds after transmitting the radio
signal.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the key into the driver door you
then have to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on
within 15 seconds after opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-
theft alarm system. The alarm will be triggered if you do not switch on
the ignition within 15 seconds.
When is the alarm triggered?
The following security areas of the locked vehicle are monitored:
•Bonnet
•Luggage compartment door
•Doors
•Ignition lock
•Interior of the vehicle*3)
•A drop in voltage of the on-board power supply
An alarm is immediately triggered if either of the two battery terminals is
disconnected while the anti-theft alarm system is activated.
How is the alarm switched off?
You switch the alarm off if you unlock the car with the radio remote control
in the key or if you switch the ignition on.
Switching off the interior monitoring system
The process of switching off and switching on the interior monitoring
system is the same as for switching off and switching on the safe securing
system ⇒page 40.
This function allows one to leave animals in the vehicle, for example.
Note
•The working life of the source of the siren is 5 years. More detailed
information is available from your Škoda Dealer.
•Coding of the remote control and the receptor part precludes the use
of the remote control from other vehicles.
•Power supply for the remote control operation is provided by a battery.
The battery must be replaced, ideally by the Škoda dealer, if the central
locking or anti-theft alarm system does not react to the remote control until
it is less than 3 metres away.
3)The alarm will be triggered through movement within the interior of the vehicle or
an attempt to steal the radio. The rear part of the interior of the vehicle is not fully
monitored under certain circumstances.

Note
•After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the
windows for a further 10 minutes. The automatic closing and opening
functions will not operate during this time. The power windows are
switched off completely once you open the driver or front passenger door.
•When driving, use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are
opened, dust and other dirt can get into the vehicle. The wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
Convenience operation of windows
You can open and close the electrically powered windows as
follows when unlocking and locking the vehicle (just closing of the
sliding roof).
Opening windows with the key
– Turn the key in the lock of the driver door into the opening position and hold it until all the windows are open. Closing windows with the key
– Turn the key in the lock of the driver door into the closing posi-
tion and hold it there until all of the windows are closed.
You can interrupt the opening or closing operation of the windows imme-
diately by releasing the key.
Operational problems
Automatic closing or opening does not operate
If the battery of the car has been disconnected and then reconnected, the
automatic closing and opening function does not operate. The system
must be activated. Proceed as follows in order to re-establish the function:
•Turn the key in the lock of the driver door into the closing position and
hold it there until all of the windows are closed.
•Release the key.
•Insert the key again and turn it to the closing position for about 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
Ice accumulating on the surface of the windows during the winter may
result in a greater resistance when closing the windows and the window
may stop and move back.

•The system is fitted with a force limiter. The closing process will
be stop if an obstruction is detected and the window will open
again. You should nevertheless take particular care when closing
the windows! A person may otherwise suffer severe injuries as a
result of getting an arm, for example, jammed in the window!
•It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power
windows in the rear (safety button) when children are being
transported on the rear seats ⇒page 47, fig. 27 .ASWARNING
