Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING■
Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and 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.

Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Range
The detail provides information about the distance in km, that can be travelled with the current tank and with the same driving style.
If you drive more efficiently this value can increase.
With G-TEC vehicles, the following details are displayed.
▶ Total range
▶ Range with natural gas
▶ Range with gasoline
Average fuel consumption
The indication is calculated continuously since the last deletion of the memory.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 100 m driven.
With G-TEC vehicles, the average consumption of fuel currently being used is displayed.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel
consumption.
When the vehicle is stationary or slowly moving the fuel consumption is dis-
played in l/h (on models for some countries the following appears --,- km/l).
With G-TEC-vehicles running on natural gas fuel consumption is displayed
kg/h.
With G-TEC vehicles, the current consumption of fuel currently being used is
displayed.
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature is reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine
revs, full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if a fault in the system for check-
ing the oil temperature is present, are displayed instead of the oil tempera-
ture.
Warning against excessive speeds
Set the speed limit, for example, for the maximum permissible speed in town
