The fuel tank has a capacity of about 45 litres. The warning symbol in
the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve
marking. There are now about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This
symbol is a reminder for you, that you must refuel.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can
result in poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust
system and damage the catalytic converter.
Speedometer with counter for distance
driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilom-
eters (km). On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
Bottom counter (trip counter) for distance driven
The bottom counter indicates the distance which you have driven since
this counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile. It can
be reset to zero by pressing the reset button next to the trip counter
⇒ fig. 3 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilom-
eters or miles which the vehicle has been driven.
Fault display
dEF will appear as a constant text in the display field of the counter for
distance driven if there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have this fault
rectified without delay by a Škoda dealer.
Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds
120 kilometres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again
when the vehicle speed goes below this speed limit.
This function is only valid for some countries.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while
driving for safety reasons.

A key symbol appears in the trip counter display ⇒fig. 4 once the due
date for a service is reached and one of the following service work:
OIL (change the engine oil)
INSP (Inspection service)
The display disappears within 3 minutes after starting the engine. The trip

for more than 1 second. The key symbol remains even after the ignition
has been switched off.
The Service Interval Display for vehicles with extended service
intervals (QG1 and QG2)
A key symbol ⇒ fig. 5 appears in the counter display for distance driven
about 30 days before reaching the due date for the service. The remaining
distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to the key
symbol and then the remaining number of days to the due date for the
service inspection.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE DUE IN ... KM OR ... DAYS
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km.
or days until the service due date is reached.

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 entered.
It is also possible for you to reset the Service Interval Display with the
reset button ⇒ page 15, fig. 4 as follows:
Models with fixed service intervals (QG0)
Press the reset button ⇒page 15, fig. 4 with the ignition switched off
and and hold it down.
If the ignition is switched on, one of the service intervals appears 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)
Press the reset button ⇒page 15, fig. 4 with the ignition switched off
and and hold it down.
Switch the ignition on, release the reset button and and 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
•Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may
result in incorrect readouts.
•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.
•After resetting the display with flexible service intervals (QG1) using
the reset button , the data displayed are the same as for a car 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.

Multi-functional indicator* (onboard
computer)
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display of the revolutions
counter ⇒fig. 6 or in the information display ⇒page 21, fig. 9 depending
on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories.
You can see the memory which is currently being shown in the display
from the negatively displayed number ⇒fig. 6 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in
the display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total
distance memory (memory 2).
Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 18,

The following readouts of the selected memory 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 an ice chrystal 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 pressed, 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.
The outside temperature indicator will appear with an ice chrystal symbol
⇒ fig. 8 when the outside temperature lies between +5°C and -5°C.
WARNING
Please note that black ice may also be present on the road surface
even at temperatures around +5°C - warning, drive with care!
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 the battery)
before a new readout for the range is displayed.
