Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres (on vehicles with four-wheel
drive approx. 60 litres). The warning symbol
in the instrument cluster
lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now
about 8 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for
you, that you must refuel .
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel! (Please refuel!)
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can
result in poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust
system and damage the catalytic converter.
Speedometer
Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds
120 kilometres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again
when the vehicle speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.
Counter for distance driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilom-
eters (km). On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
The kilometer counter for distance driven is shown on the display when
the ignition is switched off. The trip counter for distance driven is shown
on the display after switching on the ignition. You can then switch over to
the counter display with the reset button.
Reset button
By briefly pressing the reset button ⇒page 13, fig. 2 you can switch
over from the trip counter to the kilometer counter. In order to recognize
which counter for the distance driven is shown on the display at that
moment, trip ⇒ fig. 3 appears after the trip counter.
If you hold the reset button pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter
is set back to zero.

driven and the days until the following service interval (for this the trip
counter is not set back) appears ⇒page 16.
Counter for distance driven (trip)
The counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilometers
or miles which the vehicle has been driven.
Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Fault display
dEF will appear as a constant text in the display if there is a fault in the
instrument cluster. 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
On vehicles without multi-functional indicator or information display, both
counts of the counters are shown simultaneously on the display.
Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ
slightly on the display.
Service Interval Display
A key symbol
appears in the counter display for distance driven about
15 days before reaching the due date for the service ⇒fig. 4 . The
remaining distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to
the key symbol and then the remaining number of days to the due date for
the service inspection.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Service in ... km or... days
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km
or days until the service due date is reached.

10 seconds next to the key symbol and then the remaining number of days
to the due date for the service inspection.
Resetting Service Interval Display
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
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.
The service interval displays can also be reset as follows by using the
reset button ⇒page 13, fig. 2 on the trip counter:
•Switch off the ignition, press the reset button of the trip counter for
distance driven and hold it down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button. Now turn the reset
button to the right. The service interval displays are reset.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service 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.
•It is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instru-
ment cluster is installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a
specialist garage.
•The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible
service intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with
fixed service intervals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the
Service Interval Display reset only by a Škoda dealer who is familiar with
the procedure for resetting the display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive informa-
tion about the service intervals.
Digital clock
A clock-set button is installed on the bottom left beside the
speedometer for adjusting the clock ⇒page 13, fig. 2 .

Multi-functional indicator (onboard
computer)*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒fig. 5 or in the infor-
mation display ⇒page 23, fig. 10 depending on the equipment fitted to
your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories.
The selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 5 .
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).
Switching of the memory takes place with the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
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 The outside temperature⇒ page 20

into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. The memory will be auto-
matically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than
2 hours.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of indi-
vidual journeys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999
kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is
reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be
deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of
the window wiper lever ⇒fig. 6 .
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows one to select the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the individual functions of the multi-functional indicator to appear
in the display one after the other.
Setting function to zero

The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by
button :
•average fuel consumption,
•distance driven,
•average speed,
•Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is
switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the
one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, the outside temperature
indicator with a snow flake symbol appears. The symbol warns the driver
of the possible danger of ice on the road. After the rocker switch is
pressed, the function displays the one which you last selected before
switching off the ignition.
The outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is
switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5
minutes. If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the
temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outside
temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol
(warning signal for ice on the road) appears before the temperature indi-
cator ⇒fig. 7 and a warning signal sounds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temper-
ature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black
ice may also be present on the road surface even at temperatures
around +4 °C - warning, drive with care!
Current consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km.
This information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel
consumption you wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a
low speed.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is
shown in the display in litres/100 km ⇒page 18. This information can help

you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to
achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain
period of time you must first erase the memory at the start of the new
measurement using the button
⇒page 19, fig. 6 . A zero appears in the
display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the
distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of
fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps
of 10 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating
the range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on,
the range will be increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the
battery) before a new readout for the range is displayed.
Distance driven
The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the
display ⇒page 18. If you wish to calculate the distance driven from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in
time by pressing the button
⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9999 km. The
indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in km/hour ⇒page 18. If you wish to determine the average speed
over a certain period of time you must first erase the memory at the start
of the new measurement using the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the
memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are
driving.
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased,
appears in the display ⇒page 18. If you wish to calculate the driving time
from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this
moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6 .
The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 99 hours and 59
minutes. The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.

text in the display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you
have exceeded the set speed limit.
You can set the desired speed limit as follows:
•Select the menu Speed warning --- km/h (warning at --- km/h) .
•You can drive at the desired speed, e.g. 50 km/h
•Press the button ⇒fig. 9 - Speed warning 50 km/h (warning at 50
km/h) is shown on the display.
If you now exceed the set speed limit, Speed 50 km/h exceeded (speed
50 km/h exceeded) will be shown on the display. This display will be
shown until you have reduced the speed to the set speed limit.
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
The set speed limit remains stored in the memory, also when the ignition
is switched off and on; it can only be erased by pressing the button for
more than 1 second.
