Replacing wiper blades fo r the windscreen wipersTaking off the wiper blade
– Fold windscreen wiper arm out from the windscreen and position the 
wiper blade at right angles to the wiper arm  ⇒.
– Press the securing spring in the direction of arrow   and press the  wiper blade at the same time to th e windscreen   - Warning, danger 
of breaking the windscreen.  ⇒fig. 56  ⇒ .
Attaching a wiper blade
– Clip the securing spring until it is  heard to lock in the windscreen wiper 
arm. – Check whether the wiper blade is correctly attached.
Wiper blades in proper condition are esse
ntial to obtain good visibility. Wiper 
blades should not be allowed to become  dirtied by dust, insect remains and 
preserving wax.
Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades  could then be due to wax residues left 
on the windscreen by vehicle washing in  automatic vehicle wash systems. It is 
therefore important to  degrease the lips of the wiper blades after every pass 
through an  automatic vehicle wash system .
WARNING
•
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage 
to the windscreen.
•
You should clean the wiper blades regularly with a windscreen cleaner in 
order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper blade with a sponge or cloth if it is 
very dirty, for example from insect residues.
•
Replace the wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons. The 
wiper blades are available  from specialist garages.

Technical Data
Starting the engine after the fuel tank has run dry
It may take longer than normal to start the 
engine after refuelling if the fuel tank has 
run completely dry - up to one minute. This is because the fuel system must first of 
all be filled while the attempting to start the engine.
Switching off the engine– The engine can be switched off by turning the ignition key from posi- tion  into  ⇒page 95, fig. 105 .
WARNING
•
Never switch off the engine before the  vehicle is stationary - risk of acci-
dent!
•
The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater 
physical effort for braking is required when engine is switched off. Because 
if you do not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.Caution
you should not switch the engine off right  away at the end of your journey after the 
engine has been operated for a lengthy period at high loads but should be allowed 
it to run at idling speed for about 2 minutes . This prevents any accumulation of heat 
when the engine is switched off.
Note
•
The radiator fan may continue running fo r a further 10 minutes or so after the 
engine and the ignition have  been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, also 
switch on again after some time if the coolant temperature rises because of an 
accumulation of heat in the engine or  if the engine is warm and the engine 
compartment is additionally  heated by strong sunlight.
•
This is why particular care is required when carrying out any work in the engine 
compartment  ⇒page 162, “Working in the engine compartment”.
ShiftingShift into reverse only when the car is stationary. Depress the clutch pedal and hold 
it fully depressed. Wait a moment before  engaging reverse gear in order to avoid 
any shift noises.
The reversing lights will come on once re verse gear is engaged, provided the igni-
tion is on.
WARNING
Never engage the reverse gear when driving - risk of accident!
Note
•
One should not lay the hand on the shift lever while driving the vehicle. The 
pressure of the hand will be transferred to  the gearshift forks in the gearbox. This 
can, over a period of time, lead to  early wear of the gearshift forks.
•
Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing gears, in order to avoid unneces-
sary wear and damage.

Technical Data
FuelPetrolGrades of petrolThere are various grades of petrol. Please read in order to know which grade of 
petrol your vehicle requires.  You will also find the same information affixed to the 
inside of the fuel filler flap of your vehicle  ⇒page 158.
A distinction is made between unleaded an d leaded petrol. All Škoda vehicles with 
petrol engines are equipped with a catalyti c converter and must therefore be only 
driven with  unleaded petrol . Unleaded petrol  complies with the  standard 
DINEN228 .
The individual grades of petr ol are distinguished by their octane number (RON). 
Please adopt the following procedure if the grade of petrol which you normally use 
is not be available in  exceptional circumstances:•
Engines which need unleaded premium petrol 95 RON  can also be run on 
unleaded regular petrol 91 RON. This does, however, result in a slight loss in 
performance.
•
Engines which need  unleaded premium plus petrol 98 RON  can also be run 
on unleaded regular petrol 95 RON. This does, however, result in a slight loss in 
performance. You can  in exceptional circumstances  also use unleaded regular 
petrol of 91 RON in the event that neithe r unleaded premium petrol of 98 RON nor 
95 RON is available. Refuel as soon as  possible with unleaded premium plus of 98 
RON or unleaded premium petrol of 95 RON.
If, in an emergency, the only fuel availa ble is one which has a lower octane number 
than that required by the engine then only drive at medium engine speeds and 
lower engine loadings.
You can make unlimited use of fuel whic h has a higher octane number than that 
required by the engine. There will, howeve r, be no advantages gained by this in 
terms of engine performance and fuel consumption! The handling, performance and life of your engine are determined to a significant 
extent by the quality of the fuel. 
Do not use any petrol additives.  Use a fuel 
complying with the standard.
You can find further information on refuelling  ⇒page 158, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Filling the tank even only once with lead ed petrol will result in the catalytic 
converter being destroyed.
•
Operating the engine with petrol of a lo w octane number can result in engine 
damage at high revolutions or severe engine loading.
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 poor, it is then necessary to drain the  fuel filter 
more often than stated in the Service schedule.
You can find information on refuelling  ⇒page 158, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Use fuel which complies with the standard  DIN EN 590. Filling the tank even 
only once, which does not comply with th e standard, can result in damage to the 
fuel system.
•
Water which has collected in the fuel fi lter can result in engine problems.

Fuel
158•
Your vehicle is not adapted for use of biof uel (RME), therefore this fuel must not 
be refuelled and driven. Using this fuel (R ME) can 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 becomes 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 corresponding 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 diff erent climatic conditions that diesel fuels 
available have a different temperature characteristic. The specialist garages and 
filling stations in the country concerned wi ll be able to provide you with informa-
tion 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.
RefuellingThe filler tube of the fuel reservoir is  located in the rear right side part of 
the vehicle.
Opening the fuel filler cap
– Open the fuel filler flap with the hand.
– On vehicles without remote unlocking  of the fuel filler flap from the 
driver's seat, unlock the fuel filler cap on the fuel filler tube by turning

– Press the fuel tank flap closed.The correct grade of fuel for your vehicle as  well as the tyre size and inflation pres-
sures are stated on a sticker affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. Further infor-
mation on fuel  ⇒page 157, “Fuel”.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres.
WARNING
Pay attention to any legal requirements if  you do carry a spare canister in the 
vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for 
safety reasons. The canister can be da maged in the event of an accident and 
fuel may leak out.
Caution
•
Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxil-
iary heating and ventilation) *.
•
Remove any fuel which has spilled onto  the paintwork of your vehicle immedi-
ately - risk of paint damage!
•
Vehicles fitted with catalytic converter should never be allowed to let the fuel 
tank to run completely empty. An irregular supply of fuel to the engine can result in 
misfiring and unburnt fuel may get into  the exhaust system, which may result in 
overheating and damage to  the catalytic converter.
•
Make sure that the valve is not pressed  into the filler tube when inserting the 
pump nozzle into the filler tube. Otherwis e you are unintentionally filling up the 
volume, which in case of heat can cause an  expansion of the fuel. This can lead to 
an overflow of fuel or damage  to parts of the fuel reservoir.
•
The fuel tank is full just as soon as  the pump nozzle switches off for the first 
time, provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Do not continue refuelling 
- otherwise the expansio n volume is filled up.
Emergency release of fuel filler flapIf a fault exists in the system for opening the fuel filler flap from the 
driver's seat*, the fuel filler flap can be opened manually.
