Engine revolutions counter
Read and observe
on page 26 first.
The red scale of the rev counter
1
» Fig. 19 on page 26 indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine
control unit restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolu- tion counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is
fitted with an automatic gearbox.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 28 .
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up in good time has the following benefits.■It helps to reduce fuel consumption.■
It reduces engine noise.
■
It protects the environment.
■
It benefits the service life and reliability of the engine.
Speedometer
Read and observe
on page 26 first.
Warning against speeding
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/
h 2)
. The audible warning is switched off once the vehicle speed falls below
120 km/h.
67Coolant temperature gauge display
Read and observe
on page 26 first.
The coolant temperature gauge

» Fig. 19 on page 26 operates only when
the ignition is switched on.
In vehicles with a segment display, the coolant temperature is indicated only
by one of the warning lights » page 37,
Coolant coming on or going off.
Cold range
The pointer in the left of the scale indicates that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or un-
der heavy engine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
The coolant temperature is too high if the pointer reaches the red area of the
scale. Further information » page 37.
CAUTION
■
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.

you last selected before switching off the ignition.
The multifunction display shown in the segment display » Fig. 21 on page 29
or in the MAXI DOT display depending on your vehicle model » page 33.
On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display » page 33, there is an option not to dis-
play some of the information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully on your driving at all times. As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Even at temperatures of around +4 °C, there may still be black ice on the
road surface. You should therefore not rely solely on the outside tempera-
ture display for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Note
■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.■
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is
not indicated in km/h on the display.
MemoryFig. 21
Multifunction display
Read and observe on page 29 first.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The se-
lected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 21.
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).
Switch memories using button
B
» Fig. 22 on page 30 on the windscreen
wiper stalk.
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. If the trip is interrupted for more than
2 hours , the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1999 km or, for vehicles with a MAXI
DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or 9999 km. The memory is deleted
when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.29Instruments and Indicator Lights

WARNING■ If illuminated warning lights and the corresponding descriptions and
warning notes are not observed, this may result in severe injuries or major
vehicle damage.■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the engine compart-
ment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is essential to
observe safety notes » page 138, Engine compartment .
Handbrake
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
The warning light comes on if the handbrake is applied. An audible warning
is also given if you drive the vehicle for at least 3 seconds at a speed of more
than 6 km/h.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Release parking brake!

Page 42 of 197
In order to clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit » , the vehicle
should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1
800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with
the 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S).
The
warning light only goes out once the diesel particulate filter has been
successfully cleaned.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and
the warning light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Diesel particulate filter: Log book!
The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After
switching the ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.
Seek help from a specialist garage.WARNING■ The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
As long as the warning light lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of
the engine.
Note
■ We recommend avoiding regularly driving short distances to assist the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the filter.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the service life of the filter. A ŠKODA Service Partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
