WARNING

Read and observe the warning notes
page 166, “Working in the engine
compartment” before working in the engine compartment.
If the fluid level has dropped below the MIN marking, do not drive any
further - risk of accident! Obtain professional assistance.Replacing brake fluidBrake fluid absorbs moisture. This causes the fluid to absorb moisture from the surrounding air over a period of time. Excessive water in the brake fluid may be the cause of corrosion in the brake system. The
water content also lowers the boiling point
of the brake fluid. One may only use new brake fluid approved
by Škoda Auto. The brake fluid must
comply with one of the following standards or specifications:
VW 501 14,

FMVSS 116 DOT4,

DIN ISO 4925 CLASS 4.
We recommend that you have the brake fluid replaced by an
authorised Škoda
Service Partner
as part of an Inspection Service.
WARNING

Using old brake fluid can result in severe
stress on the brakes because of the
formation of vapour bubbles in the br
ake system. This greatly impairs the
braking efficiency and thus also the safety of your vehicle.
Brake fluid is toxic! It must therefor
e be kept safely in closed original
containers and well away from children and unauthorized persons.
Caution
Brake fluid damages the paintwork of the vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
In view of the problems involved with proper
disposal of brake fluid, the special tools
and the professional knowledge required, we recommend you have the brake fluid replaced by a specialist garage.BatteryWorking on the batteryFig. 144 The battery: Pull up the cove

Engine oil specificationsThe grade of engine oil should be se
lected in accordance with precise
specifications.The engine of your vehicle has been factory-
filled with a high-grade oil which you can
use throughout the year - except in extreme climatic regions. You can mix various oils together with each other when refilling with oil. This does not, however, apply for models with flexible service intervals (QG1). Engine oils are, of course, undergoing co
ntinuous further deve
lopment. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is
only correct at the time of publication.
Specialist garages are informed by Škoda
Auto about current changes. We recommend
having this oil change undertaken by a specialist garage. The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated separately or together with other specifications on the bottle. Engine oil specifications for models
with flexible service intervals (QG1)
Engine oil specifications for vehicles with fixed service intervals (QG2) If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA A2 or ACEA A3 can be used once for refilling. If the oils specified above are not available,
oils according to ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 can
be used once for refilling.
