The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Range
The estimated range is displayed in kilometres. It indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the level of fuel in the tank and the
same style of driving.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. The value is displayed in steps of 5 km
after the
warning light has come on.
The fuel consumption over the preceding 50 km is used to calculate the infor-
mation. The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after the battery has been disconnected), a fuel
consumption of 10 l/100 km is used initially, then the value is adapted accord-
ing to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed. Reset
the memory to zero if you want to measure the distance travelled from a par-
ticular moment » page 30, Operation .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 1999 km or 9999 km on
vehicles with a MAXI DOT display. The indicator is reset to zero when this val-
ue is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is displayed in km/hour .
Set the memory to zero at the start of measurement to determine the average
speed over a certain period » page 30, Operation .
No value will appear in the display until you have driven approximately 300 m after this information has been deleted.
The display is updated regularly while you are driving.
Current speed
The current speed, identical to the display on the speedometer 3
» Fig. 19 on
page 26 , is displayed.
Oil temperature 1)
The current engine oil temperature is displayed. If the oil temperature is lower
than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil temperature is

36Using the system
Page 143 of 197
Clear water is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen and head-
lights. We recommend using clean washing water together with the screen
cleaner from the range of ŠKODA Original Accessories (in winter additionally
with antifreeze) which is capable of removing stubborn dirt.
The washing water should always be mixed with antifreeze in winter even if
the vehicle has heated windscreen washer nozzles.
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no
screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated
spirits must not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration
is sufficient only to -5 °C.
CAUTION
■ Under no circumstances must radiator antifreeze or other additives be added
to the windscreen washer fluid.■
If the vehicle is fitted with a headlight cleaning system, only cleaning prod-
ucts which do not attack the polycarbonate coating of the headlights must be
added to the windscreen washer fluid.
■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when re-
plenishing it with liquid otherwise the liquid transportation system can be con-
taminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to malfunction.

143
The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use
throughout the year - except in extreme climate zones.
Engine oils are the subject of continuous further development. Thus the infor-
mation stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by the manu-
facturer. We therefore recommend that you have the oil changed by a ŠKODA
Service Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sep-
arately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The oil capacities include oil filter change. Check the oil level when filling; do
not over fill. The oil level must be between the markings » page 142.WARNING■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. While working in
the engine compartment, be sure to observe the following warn-
ings » page 138 .■
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top
up the engine oil under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
Do not drive on if the oil level is above range
A
» Fig. 128 on page 142 .
Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
CAUTION
Do not pour any additives into the engine oil – there is a risk of serious engine
damage.
Note
■ Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you en-
gine oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle.■
We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
■
You must wash yourself thoroughly if your skin has come into contact with

VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) engine oil can be used to refill once. Other
engine oils must not be used - there is risk of engine damage.Checking the oil levelFig. 128
Principle sketch: Dipstick
Read and observe and on page 141 first.
The dipstick indicates the engine oil level » Fig. 128.
Checking the oil level
Ensure that the vehicle is positioned on a level surface and the engine has
reached its operating temperature.
›
Switch off the engine.
Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the sump.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Pull out the dipstick.
›
Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and insert it again to the stop.
›
Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.

.
The engine burns some oil. The oil consumption may be as much as 0.5 l/
1 000 km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which
you operate your vehicle. Consumption may be slightly higher than this during
the first 5 000 kilometres.
The oil level must be checked at regular intervals. We recommend it be
checked after each time you refuel or prior to making a long journey.
142General Maintenance
Page 145 of 197
We recommend maintaining the oil level within the range A, but not above , if
the engine has been operating at high loads, for example, during a lengthy
motorway trip during the summer months, towing a trailer or negotiating a
high mountain pass.
The warning light in the instrument cluster will indicate whether the oil level is
too low » page 36 ,
Engine oil . Check the oil level using the dipstick as
soon as possible. Add oil accordingly.
CAUTION
■ Always check the oil level on vehicles with the 1.2 l/44 kW engine when the
engine is cold. Otherwise the measuring result is incorrect und oil could be in-
correctly replenished - risk of engine damage!■
The oil level must never be above the
A
range » Fig. 128 – there is a risk of
damaging the exhaust system.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 141 first.
›
Check the oil level » page 142.
›
Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening » Fig. 126 on page 140 .
›
Replenish the oil in portions of 0.5 litres in accordance with the correct speci-
fications » page 141 .
›

Coolant
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Capacity
144
Checking the coolant level
144
Replenishing
144The coolant consists of water with a concentration of coolant additive. This mixture guarantees antifreeze protection, protects the cooling/heater system
against corrosion and prevents the formation of scale.
Vehicles exported to countries with a mild climate are already factory-filled
with a coolant which offers antifreeze protection down to about -25 ℃. In
these countries the concentration of coolant additive should be at least 40 %.
Vehicles exported to countries with a cold climate are already factory-filled
with a coolant which offers antifreeze protection down to about -35 °C. In
these countries the concentration of coolant additive should be at least 50 %.
If a higher concentration of antifreeze is required for climatic reasons, the
amount of coolant additive can only be increased up to a maximum of 60 %
(antifreeze protection down to approx. -40 °C).
When refilling, only use the same antifreeze identified on the coolant expan-
sion vessel » Fig. 129 on page 144 .WARNING■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. While working in
the engine compartment, be sure to observe the following warn-
ings » page 138 .■
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top
up the coolant under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
CAUTION
■ The amount of coolant additive in the coolant must never be allowed to fall
below 40 %.■
Over 60 % coolant additive in the coolant reduces the antifreeze protection
and coolant effectiveness.
■
A coolant additive that does not comply with the correct specifications can
significantly reduce the corrosion protection.
■
Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can con-
sequently result in major engine damage!
■
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
A
» Fig. 129 on page 144 .
■
We recommend that you visit a specialist garage if a fault causes the engine
to overheat, otherwise serious engine damage may occur.
■
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
143Inspecting and replenishing
Page 147 of 197
Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available in an
emergency. In this case, use just water and have the correct mixing ratio of
water and coolant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.

145WARNING■ The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. While working in
the engine compartment, be sure to observe the following warn-
ings » page 138 .■
Do not continue your journey if the fluid level has fallen below the MIN
marking » Fig. 130 on page 145 - there is a risk of an accident. Seek help
from a specialist garage.
■
Do not use used brake fluid - the function of the brake system may be im-
paired – there is the risk of an accident.
CAUTION

Engine compartment: Brake fluid
reservoir
Read and observe and on page 145 first.
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment » Fig. 130.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir » Fig. 130.
The level must be between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.
A slight drop in the fluid level results in operation due to normal wear and tear
and the automatic adjustment of the brake pads.
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the “MIN” mark-
ing.
If the brake fluid level is too low, this is indicated by the indicator light
» page 36 ,
Brake system
lighting up in the instrument cluster.
Changing
Read and observe
and on page 145 first.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Over time it therefore absorbs moisture from theenvironment.
Excessive water in the brake fluid may be the cause of corrosion in the brake
system.
The water content lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid.
The brake fluid must comply with the following standards or specifications: › VW 50114;
› FMVSS 116 DOT4.
