Data overview
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Range - Drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-
pacity 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 / with natural gas / petrol.
Average fuel consumption - Is calculated continuously since the last time that
the memory was erased. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the
first 100 m driven. With G-TEC vehicles, the average consumption of fuel cur-
rently being used is displayed.
Current fuel consumption - When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,
the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-
lowing appears --,- km/l). With G-TEC vehicles the current consumption of the
fuel currently being used is displayed ( with regards to a stationary or slow
moving vehicle, the natural gas consumption is displayed in kg/h).
Oil temperature if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the symbols are displayed.
Warning at when the preset speed is exceeded allows the setting of a speed
limit where, if exceeded, an acoustic warning signal and a warning message
appears on the display of the instrument cluster.
Dynamic Road Sign Display - traffic signs display » page 226, Traffic sign rec-
ognition .
Current Speed - Digital speedometer.
Average speed - Value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing
the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m
driven.
Distance driven - Distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Driving time - Driving time since last clearing the memory.
Conv. consumers - information about the total consumption of the comfort
consumers in l/h and a list of three consumers (e.g. air conditioning etc.), which
have the largest share of fuel consumption.
Refill amount 1)
After the consumption of about 10 litres of fuel from the fully
refuelled tank, an amount of fuel is displayed in l. This amount can now be
safely refilled.
Natural gas quality The details of the quality of natural gas are displayed as a
percentage of between 70% to 100%. The higher the value of natural gas, the lower is the consumption.
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,
the engine operating temperature has been reached. If the temperature is be-
low 70 ° C, high engine speeds and straining the engine should be avoided. If the temperature is over 120°C, the warning light » page 38

service event appears in the display.
Messages upon reaching scheduled service date
Once the service interval is reached, the symbol

the ignition is switched on, together with the message.
Resetting the service interval display
We recommend that the display reset is completed by a specialist garage.
We recommend that you do not reset the service interval display yourself. In-
correctly setting the service interval display could cause problems to the vehi-
cle.
Variable service interval
For vehicles with variable service intervals, after resetting the oil change serv-
ice display in a specialist garage, the values of the new service interval are dis-
played, which are based on the previous operating conditions of the vehicle.
These values are then continuously matched according to the actual operating
conditions of the vehicle.

Page 51 of 324
SmartGate is a system that transmits certain driving data (such as fuel con-
sumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA applications installed in a supported external device (e.g. tele-
phone, tablet) give the option to further transmit the received data.
Some ŠKODA applications can be displayed on the Infotainment screen using a
SmartLinkconnection » page 165.
Read in the QR code » Fig. 30 or enter the following address in the web brows-
er to open the website with an overview of the available applications, compati-
ble devices and other information about SmartGate.

CAUTION
■ To increase the access security to the transmitted vehicle data, once the
ŠKODA application has been started, you are requested to change the pass-
word/PIN code if the default password/PIN code has not yet been changed
» page 50 . It is not possible to start the ŠKODA application without changing
it.■

The vehicle is equipped with a central locking system which makes it possible
to unlock / lock all the doors, the fuel filler flap and boot lid simultaneously.
The door unlocking can be adjusted individually » page 53.
The unlocking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing
twice.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically.
The locking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing once.
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
If the doors or the luggage compartment lid remain open after the vehicle has
been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ised persons (e.g. children) could lock the vehicle, turn on the ignition or
start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
CAUTION■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the key grooves clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a nega-
tive effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.

When unlocking/locking the vehicle, the key must be at a maximum distance
of approximately 1.5 m from the front door handle.
Information on locking
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved
into the position P before unlocking.
The vehicle cannot be locked from the outside if the ignition has not been
turned off.
After locking the car, it is not possible to unlock within the next 2 seconds by
touching the door handle. This can be used to check whether the vehicle is
locked.
Protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If one of the doors is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which
the vehicle was locked remains in the passenger compartment, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked. After automatically unlocking, the turn signal lights
will flash four times. If no door is opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle is au-
tomatically locked again.

Page 55 of 324
If the boot lid is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which the
vehicle was locked remains in the luggage compartment, the lid is automatical-
ly unlatched (partially opened). After automatically unlocking, the turn signal
lights will flash four times. The boot lid remains unlatched (partially opened);
the other doors remain locked.

opening lever of the respective door.
WARNINGDoors locked from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the
vehicle in an emergency – danger to life!SafeLock
Read and observe
and on page 51 first.
SafeLock prevents the doors from behind opened from inside as well as win-dow operation. This makes an attempted break-in to the vehicle more difficult.
Activating
SafeLock is activated when the vehicle is locked from the outside.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after the ignition is switched off.
Check SAFE lock! Log book!CHECK SAFELOCK
Activation display
When SafeLock is activated the warning light in the driver's door flashes for 2
seconds in rapid succession, then starts to flash at longer intervals.
Switching off ▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ or: by deactivating the interior monitor and the towing protection
» page 56 .
The warning light in the driver door flashes rapidly for about 2 seconds, then
goes out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The SafeLock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or
open a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for
rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
