tire pressure SKODA FABIA 2016 3.G / NJ Owner's Manual

If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The system can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment » Owner's Man-
ual Infotainment .
Pause recommendation
The icon appears and the following message for a few seconds in the display
of the instrument cluster  and a message about the detected fatigue. An au-
dible signal is also emitted.WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 100, in section Introduction .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
Note
■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Tyre pressure monitoring
 Introduction

The tyre pressure monitoring function (hereinafter known as "system") moni-
tors the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light 
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal sounds » page 32, 
Tyre pressure .
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed tyre
pressure and this pressure values are stored in the system.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 100, in section Introduction .■
The correct tyre pressure values is always the driver's responsibility. The
tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 146.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid loss of tyre pressure, e.g. in
the event of a sudden puncture.
Storing the tyre pressure values
Read and observe
on page 117 first.
The tyre pressure valuesare always stored in the system, if one of the fol-lowing events is present.▶ Change of tyre pressure values.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ The warning light in the instrument cluster.
The storage of the tyre pressure values depends on equipment, either in the
infotainment or by pressing a button.
WARNINGBefore storing the tyre pressures they must be inflated to the specified in-
flation pressure » page 146. If incorrect pressure values are storedthe sys-
tem may not warn even with a tyre pressure that is too low.
CAUTION
The tyre pressure values should be stored every 10 000 km or once a year to
ensure proper system function.117Assist systems

Removing/stowing the emergency or spare wheelFig. 181
Taking the wheel out
The wheel is located in a well under the floor covering in the luggage compart-
ment and is fixed in place with a screw.
Taking the wheel out
›
Lift up the floor in the luggage compartment.
›
Loosen the retaining belt and take out the box with the tool kit.
›
Unscrew the nut in the direction of arrow » Fig. 181and take out the wheel.
Stowing the wheel
›
Place the wheel into the wheel well with the wheel rim pointing downward.
›
Pull the fixing band through the opposite holes in the wheel rim.
›
Screw the nut in the opposite direction to the arrow until it stops » Fig. 181.
›
Place the box with the tool kit back inside the wheel and secure it with the
tape.
›
Fold back the floor in the luggage compartment.
Full wheel trim
Remove trim
›
Hang the clamps for removing the full wheel trims on the edge of the full
wheel trim.
›
Push the wheel wrench through the clamp, support on the tyre and pull off
the wheel trim.
Install trim
›
Press the wheel trim onto the wheel rim at the designated valve opening.
›
Then press the trim into the wheel rim until its entire circumference latches
correctly into position.
The position of the anti-theft wheel bolt is indicated by means of a symbol on
the back of the wheel trim supplied ex-factory or from the ŠKODA Original Ac-
cessories. If using the anti-theft wheel bolt it should be fitted at this point
»
.
WARNINGIf wheel trims are fitted, an adequate flow of air must be assured in order
to cool the brake system, or the is a risk of an accident.
CAUTION
■ If the wheel trim is positioned outside the position marked for the anti-theft
wheel bolt, there is a risk of damaging the wheel cover.■
Only use manual pressure and do not hit the full wheel trim – there is a risk
of damaging the trim.
Note
We recommend that you use hub caps from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

At a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0–2.5 bar, the journey can be continued at a maximum speed of 80 km/h or 50 mph.
WARNING■ If the tire does not inflate at least. 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The
sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.  Stop driving! Seek help
from a specialist garage.■
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot while the tyre is
being inflated – there is a risk of injury.
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor if it has been running for as much as 6 minutes –
risk of damage to the compressor! Allow the air compressor to cool a few mi-
nutes before switching it on again.
Information on driving with repaired tyres
Read and observe
on page 154 first.
The filling pressure of the repaired tyre is a 10-minute test drive.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or less
›
You cannot properly seal the tyre using the breakdown kit. 
Do not contin-
ue to drive! Seek help from a specialist garage.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or more›Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value » page 146.›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNINGA tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre. The following guidelines must therefore be observed.■
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
