Diesel particulate filter (diesel engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 21.
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a reg-
ular basis.
If the warning icon
illuminates, soot has accumulated in the diesel particulate
filter.
To clean the diesel particle filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, drive
for at least 15 minutes or until the warning icon
goes out as follows.
› 4 or gear 5 engaged (automatic gearbox: Position D/S).
› Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
› Engine speed between 1800-2500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning icon
goes out.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning icon does not go out and the
warning icon begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Diesel particulate filter: owner's manual!DIESEL PM FILTER OWNER MANUAL
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.WARNING■ The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
park in areas where the hot filter can come into direct contact with dry grass
or other combustible materials – there is the risk of fire!■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning icon lights up, you must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
engine.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you which
countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
■ We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
Windscreen washer fluid level
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 21.
If the windscreen washer fluid level is too low, the warning icon comes on.

Displaying an error
If the warning light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec- onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.WARNING■ If the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers
to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk of death!■
Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for ex-
ample at road crossings.
Note
■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi- cle.■
Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 36. The other doors and the boot lid can be emer-
gency locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 248.

The lights work only with the ignition on, unless otherwise stated.
On models fitted with right-hand steering, the position of some of the controls
differs from that shown in » Fig. 28 on page 55. The symbols which mark the
positions of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 207 , Headlight lenses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
■
The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we
recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!
Note
■ If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.■The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the
headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has no
influence on the life of the lighting system.■
The instruments are also illuminated when the side light, low or high beam light
is switched on. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be activated or de- activated in the Infotainment » Operating instructions for Infotainment , chap-
ter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .
