Technical Data 
In order to avoid any damage to the engine 
, please pay attention to the following  
notes regarding the temperature ranges: Cold range If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not  yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid  
running at high engine speeds, at full  
throttle and at severe engine loads. The operating range The engine has reached its operating temp 
erature as soon as the pointer moves  
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe 
r may also move further to the right at  
high engine loads and high outside temperat 
ures. This is not critical provided the  
warning symbol 
 in the instrument cluster does not flash. 
If the symbol 
 in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant  
temperature 
 is too high or the coolant 
level
 is too low. Observe the guidelines  
⇒ page 30, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity 
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes 
⇒page 160, “Working in the engine  
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co 
mponents in front of the fresh air inlet  
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over- heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge    
⇒page 16, fig. 18
 only operates when the ignition is switched  
on. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol 
 in the instru- 
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now  
about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,  
that  
you must refuel 
. 
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can result in  poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and  damage the catalytic converter.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds* An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome- tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal 
 will switch off again when the vehicle  
speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only  
valid for some countries.

Keeping a log of your fuel consumptionIf you really wish to ke
ep a close check on your 
fuel consumption
, it is best to enter  
the figures in a logbook. This does not take 
 much time but is a very worthwhile exer- 
cise. It enables you to detect any change  
(positive and negative) at an early stage  
and to take any appropriate action. If you find that your fuel  
consumption is too high, you sh
ould reflect on how, where  
and in what conditions you have driven 
 the vehicle since you last refuelled.
Environmental compatibilityEnvironmental protection has played a majo
r role in the design, selection of mate- 
rials and manufacture of your new Škoda.

has been paid to a  
number of aspects, including: Design measures•
Joints designed to  
be easily detached;
•
Simplified disassembly due to the modular structure system;
•
Improved purity of differ
ent classes of materials;
•
Identification of all plastic parts in 
accordance with VDA Recommendation 260;
•
Reduced fuel consumption 
and exhaust emission CO
2;
•
Minimum fuel leakage during accidents;
•
Reduced noise. 
Choice of materials•
Extensive use of recyclable material;
•
Air conditioning filled wi 
th CFC-free refrigerant;
•
No cadmium;
•
No asbestos;
•
Reduction in the “vaporisation” of plastics. 
Manufacture•
Solvent-free cavity protection;
•
Solvent-free protection of the vehicle for transportation from the production  
plant to the customer;•
The use of solvent-free adhesives;
•
No CFCs used in the production process;
•
Without use of mercury;
•
Use of water-soluble paints.
Motoring abroadGeneral Other circumstances may exist abroad.It is also possible, in certain countries, that the Škoda Service Partner network is  limited or has not been established yet.  
This is the reason why obtaining certain  
spare parts may be somewhat complicate 
d and specialist garage personnel may  
o n l y  b e  a b l e  t o  m a ke  l i m i te d  re p a i rs . Š ko d a  A u to  i n  t h e  C z e c h  R e pu b l i c  a n d  re l e v a n t   importers are happy to provide information  
about technical aspects of the vehicle,  
required maintenance work and possibilities for getting repairs done.Unleaded petrolA vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded petrol  ⇒ page 138. The automobile associations can provide you with information  regarding the locations of filling stations which offer unleaded petrol.HeadlightThe low beam of your headlights is set asym 
metrically. It illuminates the side of the  
road on which you are driving to a greater  
extent. If you drive abroad on the other  
side of the road, you wi 
ll dazzle oncoming traffic. 
In order to prevent the dazzling of oncoming traffic, it is necessary to stick a sticker  over a certain part of the headlights.

Technical Data 
Headlight stickers can be obtained as a  
spare part from the specialist garages. 
The adaptation of the headlights with Xe 
non lamps (applies to vehicles which are  
designed for driving on the left and on the right) is performed by switching over a  bezel in the module for low beam by a specialist garage.
Note
You can obtain further information regardin 
g masking over or converting the head- 
lights from your specialist garage.Avoiding damage to your vehicleWhen driving on poor roads and lanes or when driving over kerbstones, steep ramps etc., you must pay particular attent 
ion to ensuring that any low-slung parts  
of the vehicle, such as spoiler and ex 
haust, do not touch the ground and get  
damaged. This particularly applies to models with 
 a lowered suspension (sport suspension)  
and also when your vehicle is fully laden.

should be attached to folding arms. Adjust  
the mirrors so that they provide you with  
an adequate field of view to the rear. Headlights Before starting off with a hitched trailer, also check the setting of the headlights.  Alter the setting as necessary with th 
e aid of the headlight beam adjuster  
⇒ page 51. Detachable ball head The ball rod is detachable on vehicles which feature a factory-fitted towing device.  It is stowed together with separate fitting instructions in the spare wheel well in the luggage compartment of the vehicle. Further information on the towing device  
⇒page 146.
Note
•
We recommend that you also have yo
ur vehicle inspected between service  
intervals if you tow a trailer frequently.•
The handbrake on the towing vehicle  
must be put on when coupling and  
decoupling the trailer.Driving Tips Particular caution is required when towing a trailer.– Do not, as far as possible, drive  
with your vehicle unladen and the  
trailer laden. 
– Do not make full use of the legal maximum speeds. This applies in  
particular to downhill sections. 
– Apply the brakes in good time.– Keep a check on the coolant temper 
ature gauge if the outside temper- 
ature is high.
Distribution of weight The distribution of the weight is very poor 
 if your vehicle is 
unladen and the trailer  
is laden. Maintain a particularly low speed if you cannot avoid driving with this  combination. Driving speed Do not drive faster than 80 km/hour for safety reasons. This also applies for coun- tries in which higher speeds are allowed. The fact that the driving stability of the vehicle + trailer combination reduces with  increasing speed means that the legally allowed speed should not be used when there are unfavourable road, weather or wind 
 conditions, particul
arly near accident  
black spots. You must always reduce your speed immedi 
ately as soon as you detect even just  
the  
slightest swaying
 of the trailer. On no account attempt to stop the trailer from  
“swaying” by  
accelerating. 
Apply the brakes in good time! If the trailer is fitted with a  
trailer brake
, apply the  
brakes gently at first and then brake firmly 
. This will avoid brake jolts resulting from  
the trailer wheels locking. Shift down gears  
in good time before negotiating a down- 
hill section to allow the engine to also act as a brake. Engine overheating Please keep a check on the coolant temperature gauge if you have to negotiate a  lengthy slope in a low gear at a high engine speed when the outside temperature is  very high  
⇒page 16. 
If the needle of the coolant temperature gauge moves into the right-hand area or  even the red area of the scale, reduce yo 
ur speed immediately. Stop and switch off  
the engine if the warning light 
 in the instrument cluste 
r begins flashing. Wait a  
few minutes and check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle  ⇒ page 165, “Inspecting the coolant level”. Please refer to the following guidelines  
⇒page 30, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant  
quantity  
”. 
The coolant temperature can be reduced by switching on the heating.Any increase in the cooling effect of the coolant fan through shifting down a gear  and increasing the engine speed is not possible since the fan speed is independent

Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle
150
Plastic partsExternal plastic parts are cleaned by norm
al washing. Plastic 
parts and synthetic  
leather can also be treated with  
special solvent-free plastic cleaning agents
 if a  
damp cloth is not sufficient. Paint care pr 
oducts are not suitable for plastic parts.
Caution
Solvent-free cleaners attack th
e material and can damage it.
WindowsOnly use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the windows and  mirrors. You should not move the ice scraper forward and backward but in one direction on the window which you are clea 
ning in order to avoid any damage to  
the surface of the glass. You can best remove residues of rubber,  
oil, grease, wax or 
silicone by using a  
special window cleaner or a special silicone remover. You should also clean the windows regularly from the inside.Do not use window leathers  
which you have used to polish the vehicle body to dry  
off the windows. Residues of preservati 
ves in the window leather can dirty the  
window and reduce visibility. Do not affix any stickers over the inside of the rear window to avoid damage to the  heating elements of the rear window heater 
. 
We recommend using a preservative from 
 Škoda genuine accessories offered by  
your Škoda dealer.
Caution
Never remove snow or ice from the glass  
parts with warm or hot water - risk of  
formation of cracks in the glass!
The headlight lensesPlease do not use any aggressive cleaning  
or chemical solvent products for cleaning  
the front headlights - risk of damage to the plastic lenses.  
Please use
 soap and  
clean warm water.
Caution
Never 
 wipe the headlights dry and do not 
use any sharp objects for cleaning the  
plastic lenses, this may result in damage 
 to the protective paintwork and conse- 
quently in formation of cracks on the head 
light lenses, e.g through effect of chem- 
ical products.Door and window sealsThe rubber seals on the doors, boot lid, 
 bonnet and windows remain supple and  
last longer if you treat them from time to  
time with a rubber care product (e.g. with  
a spray with silicone-free oil). You also avoid premature wear of the seals and  prevent leakages in this way. It is also easier to open the doors. Rubber seals which  are well cared for also do not stick together in cold winter weather.Locking cylinderWe recommend that you use the spray from Škoda original accessories with regreasing and anticorrosive effect 
 for de-icing lo
cking cylinders.
Note
When washing your vehicle, ensure that as
 little water as possible gets into the  
locking cylinders.

Inspecting and replenishing
172
Windshield washer systemThe windshield washer reservoir contains 
the cleaning fluid for the windscreen or  
rear window. The reservoir is located at the front right of the engine compartment ⇒ fig. 158
. 
The  
filling level
 of the container is 3 litres, 5.5 li
tres on vehicles which also have a  
headlight washing system. Clear water is not sufficient to intensivel 
y clean the windscreen
 and headlights. We  
therefore recommend using clean washing wa 
ter together with the screen cleaner  
from Škoda genuine accessorie 
s (in winter additionally with antifreeze) which is  
capable of removing stubborn dirt. Follow  
the instructions for use on the packaging  
when using screen cleaning products. You should always add antifreeze to the  
cleaning water in wi
nter even if your  
vehicle is fitted with heated windscreen washer nozzles*. It is also possible in exceptional cases to use methylated spirits when no screen  cleaner with antifreeze is  
available. The concentration 
of methylated spirits must  
not be more than 15 %. Please note, howeve 
r, that the antifreeze protection at this  
concentration is only adequate down to -5°C.
WARNING
Read and observe the warning notes  
⇒page 160, “Working in the engine  
compartment” before working in the engine compartment.
Caution
•
On no account should you add radiator  
antifreeze or other additives to the  
windscreen washer fluid.•
If the vehicle is fitted with headlight  
cleaning system, you should only add  
cleaning products which do not attack th 
e polycarbonate coating of the headlights  
to the windscreen washer fluid. Please contact your specialist garage, who will tell  you which cleaning agent you can use.
