262Driving

CAUTIONEnsure that battery acid does not come into contact with the bodywork – risk
of damage to the paintwork.
Note
■ We recommend having all work on the vehicle battery carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
You should replace batteries older than 5 years.
Check condition
Fig. 335
Vehicle battery: Open the cover / acid level indicator
Read and observe
and on page 283 first.
The battery condition is checked regularly by a specialist garage as part of the
inspection service.
Check the acid level
For car batteries with acid level indicator, use the colouration of the display to
check the acid level. In vehicle batteries with the designation “AGM” there is
no acid level examination.
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle battery may be provided with a cov-
er, this can be opened in the direction of arrow » Fig. 335 -
 .
Air bubbles can influence the colour of the indicator. Therefore, carefully knock
on the display » Fig. 335 -
 .
Black colour - electrolyte level is correct.
Colourless or light yellow colour - electrolyte level too low, the battery must be
replaced.
Battery discharge
Frequent short journeys will not sufficiently recharge the car battery.
The battery capacity decreases at low temperatures.
If the vehicle is not used for longer than 3 to 4 weeks, then disconnect the
negative terminal 
or charge the battery constantly with a very low charging
current.
Charging
Read and observe
and on page 283 first.
Only charge the vehicle battery when the ignition and all consumers are
switched off.
Refer to the instructions of the charger manufacturer.
Charging
›
For vehicles with START-STOP system or auxiliary heating, connect the

terminal of the charger on the  pole of the battery, the
 terminal of the
charger to the earth point of the engine » page 298.
›
For vehicles without START-STOP system or auxiliary heating, connect the
terminals of the charger to the corresponding battery poles (  at
.
 at
).
›
Plug the mains cable of the charger into the power socket and switch on the
device.
›
After charging has been successful: Switch off the charger and remove the
mains cable from the power socket.
›
Disconnect the terminals of the charger from the vehicle battery.
A charging current of 0.1 multiple of the total vehicle battery capacity (or low-
er) must be used until full charging is achieved.
WARNING■ When charging the vehicle battery, hydrogen is released - risk of explo-
sion. An explosion can be caused from sparks or connection or releasing
the cable plug while the ignition is on.■
The so-called “quick charging” of the vehicle battery is dangerous and re-
quires a special charger and specialist knowledge. Therefore, have “Quick
loading” carried out by a specialist garage.
284General Maintenance

WARNING■Do not drive with an incorrect tyre pressure - risk of accident.■In the event of very fast pressure loss, e.g. in the event of sudden tyre
damage, an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop
without sudden steering movements and without any hard braking.
Note
The declaration of conformity (COC document), can be obtained from a ŠKODA 1)
partner.
Tyre wear and wheel change
Fig. 337
Tyre wear indicator / wheel change
The tyre wear increases in the following circumstances.
▶ Incorrect tyre pressure.
▶ Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration / deceleration).
▶ Incorrect balancing of wheels (have the wheels balanced after changing
tyres / repair or with “restlessness” on the steering).
▶ Wheel alignment error.
Wear indicators are located in the profile of the tyres which display the per-
missible minimum tread depth » Fig. 337 -
 . A tyre is to be regarded as worn
out when this indicator is flush with the tread. Markings on the walls of the
tyres with the letters “TWI”, triangular symbols or other symbols identify the
position of the wear indicators.
For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-
ery 10 000 km according to the schedule » Fig. 337 -
 .
WARNING■
Change when they are worn down to the wear indicators at the latest -
risk of accident.■
Improper wheel alignment affects the driving behaviour - there is an acci-
dent.
■
Unusual vibrations or “pulling” of the vehicle to one side could be a sign
of tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If no tyre damage is evident, seek
the assistance of a specialist garage.
Spare wheel
The size of the spare wheel is identical to that of the vehicle factory installed
wheels.
After changing the spare wheel, the tyre pressure must be adjusted.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system » page 260 .
WARNING■
If, you get a puncture and a spare tyre has to be mounted with opposite
direction of rotation, then drive carefully. The tyre no longer retains its opti-
mal characteristics in this situation.■
If the dimensions or design of the spare wheel differ from the tyres fitted
to the vehicle (e.g. winter tyres or low-profile tyres), it must only be used
briefly in the event of a puncture and if an appropriately cautious style of
driving is adopted.
Spare wheel
Use the emergency spare wheel only to reach the nearest specialist garage, as
it is not intended for permanent use .
A warning label is displayed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel. 
1)
Only valid for some countries and some models.
