The irregular supply of the fuel system can
lead to irregular runni
ng of the engine. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system
and damage the catalytic converter.Counter for distance drivenThe counter for the distance driven is loca
ted in the bottom area of the display. The
distance which you have driven

you have driven since it was last reset -
in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile. Counter for distance driven The counter for distance driven indicates th

Have the fault rectified as soon as
possible by a specialist workshop.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for
distance driven while driving for safety
reasons!
Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the inform
ation display* the display of the second
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the counter for the total distance driven.

Resetting Service Interval Display It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster. We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.The specialist garage:
resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;

makes an entry in the Service schedule;

affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side. Reset the service interval displays by using the reset button
page 15 on the trip
counter. On vehicles which are equipped with inform
ation display*, you ca
n call up this infor-
mation in the menu
SETUP
page 23.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se
rvice 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.
If the instrument cluster is exchanged af
ter a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.

The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service In
terval Display reset
only by an author-
ised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display with a vehicle system tester.
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about the
service intervals.Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and
