Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights
34
Diesel particle filter*

(diesel engine)
If the warning light

comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the
diesel particle filter because of the frequent short distances. In order to clean the diesel particle filter,
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 ou
t with the 4th or 5th gear engaged (auto-
matic gearbox: position S) when the traffi
c situation permits it. This increases the
exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits
⇒
.
The warning light

goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle
filter. If the filter is not properly
cleaned, the warning light

does not go out and the
warning light
 begins to flash. In the information display* appears
Diesel-
particle Owner's manual
. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into
the emergency mode, which only has a reduced power output. After switching the ignition off and on again the warning light
 comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without delay by your specialist garage.
WARNING
•
If you do not pay attention to the warning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or major vehicle damage.•
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warning light must not tempt you to disre- gard the national regulations for road traffic.
Caution
As long as the warning light

lights up, one must take into account an increased
fuel consumption and in certain circumst
ances a power reduction of the engine.
Note

Airbag system

Monitoring the airbag system The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
There is a fault in the system if the warning light does not go out or flashes while driving
⇒
. This also applies if the warning light does not come on when the igni-
tion is switched on. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Airbag fault!
The functionality of the airbag system is
also monitored electronically, when one
airbag has been switched off Front, side and head airbags or belt
tensioner which have been switched off
using the vehicle system tester:•
The warning light
 lights up for 4 seconds after switching on the ignition and
then flashes again for 12 seconds in intervals of 2 seconds. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:

•
After switching off the auxiliary heatin
g, the coolant pump runs for a short
period.•
The auxiliary heating and ventilation does not switch on or comes on, if the
vehicle battery indicates a low loading state.•
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition:
Please refuel!
(Please refuel!)
.
•
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in
order to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.•
So that warm air can flow into the vehi
cle interior after switching on the auxil-
iary heating, you must maintain the te
mperature normally selected by you (we
recommend 22°C). It is recommended to
put the air flow in the position

•
On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filter) the warm coolant heats up the
engine.Direct switching on/offThe auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ve
ntilation) can be switched on or off at
any time
directly
using the button on the operating part of the Climatic

or on the operating part of the Climatronic.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is not switched off earlier, it switches off automatically after the expiration of the set operating period, in the menu

sudden tyre damage. In this case carefully
bring the vehicle to a standstill without
sudden steering movements and without sharp braking.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

on the vehicle data sticker, see
⇒
fig. 199
, indi-
cates that your vehicle is equipped with
a diesel particle filter. The vehicle
data sticker is located on the floor of the luggage compartment and is also stated in the Service schedule.The diesel particle filter filters the soot particles completely from the exhaust. The soot is collected in the diesel particle filter and burnt regularly. To assist this proce-dure, we recommend not to drive
regularly over short distances.
If the diesel particle filter is clogged or there is a fault, it is indicated by the warning light

.
WARNING
•
The diesel particle filter achieves
very high temperatures. Therefore do
not park at points where the hot filter comes into direct contact with dry grass or other combustible materials - risk of fire!•
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection
agents for the exhaust pipes, catalytic
converters, diesel particle filter or
heat shields. When the engine reaches its operating temperature, these substances might ignite - risk of fire.
Note
•
When using diesel fuel with high sulphur
content the life of the diesel particle
filter is clearly reduced. A specialist garage
will be able to tell you which countries
use only diesel fuel wi
th high sulphur content.

Note
An extension cable used for
connecting to the electrical
network is located in the
luggage compartment.DieselDiesel fuelYour vehicle can be operated with
diesel fuel
, which complies with the standard
DIN EN 590
.
Fuel additives You must not use fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and similar products) in diesel fuel. If the quality of the diesel fuel is p
oor, it is then necessary to drain the
fuel filter

more often than stated in the Service schedule. You can find information on refuelling
⇒page 222, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Only use fuel which complies with the standard
DINEN590
. Filling the tank
even only once, which does not comply with
the standard, can result in damage to
the fuel system.•
Water which has collected in the fuel fi
lter can result in engine problems.
•
Your vehicle is not adapted for use of biodiesel, therefore this fuel must not be
refuelled and driven. Using this biodiesel ca
n lead to damage to the engine or the
fuel system.
Operation in winterWinter-grade diesel fuel A different grade of diesel fuel is available at filling stations in winter than during the summer. Using “summer-grade diesel fuel” at temperatures below 0°C can result in operational problems because the diesel be
comes viscous as a result of paraffin
separation. It is therefore the case that DIN EN 590
prescribes diesel fuel class for certain
periods of the year which can also be pu
rchased at the corres
ponding time during
the year. “Winter-grade diesel fuel” will still operate properly even at a temperature of -20°C. It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels available have a different temperature characteristic. The authorised Škoda Service Partners and filling stations in the country concerned will be able to provide you with information regarding the diesel fuels available. Prewarming fuel The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel
additives on the market, including petrol,
to diesel fuel in order to
improve its flow properties.
