Diesel particle filter (diesel engine)
In the diesel particle filter the resulting soot particles are
collected and burnt during the combustion of diesel fuel.
Code 7GG on the vehicle data sticker ⇒fig. 20 indicates that your
vehicle is equipped with a diesel particle filter. The vehicle data
sticker ⇒page 303, fig. 234 is located on the floor of the luggage
compartment and is also stated in the Service schedule.
The soot particles, which result from the combustion of diesel fuel, are
collected in the diesel particle filter . If the filter is full, the warning light
lights up in the instrument cluster.
The soot particles must be burned in the filter. The combustion is
performed when you are driving at least 60 km/h for 5 to 10 minutes. The
warning light goes out. If the warning light remains on despite this measure, the following text
appears in the display of the instrument cluster:
Engine fault Workshop!.
In this case contact a specialist garage to obtain assistance.
WARNING
Please pay attention to the traffic regulations and speed limits.
Note
It is prohibited to use biofuel and diesel fuel mixture (RME) for vehicles
with diesel engines which are fitted with diesel particle filter.
Bulbs
The warning light comes on for a few seconds after ignition is switched
on and goes out after several seconds.
If the warning light does not go out or comes on when driving, a bulb in the
headlights of the rear parking light or in the brake lights is defective.
The following text e.g will be displayed in the information display*:
Dipped beam front left defective!
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Electromechanical power steering
The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on.

Information concerning the function of the lights.
•The turn signal system only operates when the ignition is switched

•The turn signal is automatically cancelled after negotiating a curve.
•The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a bulb of the turn
signal light fails.

switched on when the parking light is selected. The parking light function
only operates if the ignition is switched off.
•An acoustic warning signal will sound when the driver's door is opened
if the lever is not in the middle position after removing the ignition key. The
acoustic warning signal will stop just as soon as the driver's door is closed.

Bulbs
Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is
replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same
type. The designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something which you can do yourself, but
requires to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehical must be
removed in order to change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to
bulbs which can only be reached from the engine compartment.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a Škoda
dealer or, in exceptional cases, by calling on other professional assist-
ance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 248.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was
delivered in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs
13) are available at
specialist garages.
The set of light bulbs is stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of light bulbs on Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and
main beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage.

WARNING
•Bulbs H7 and H1 are pressurised and may burst when changing
the bulb - risk of injury!
•It is recommended to wear gloves and eye protection when
changing a light bulb.
•Gas discharge bulbs* (xenon bulbs) operate with a high voltage,
professional knowledge is required - danger to life!
Caution
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
serviette or something similar.
Note
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is
assumed that no major complications will arise. Other light bulbs should
