Technical Data
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance in
kilometres or miles which the vehicle has
been driven.
Fa u l t d i s p l a y
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster Error will appear in the display. Contact a
specialist garage.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for safety
reasons!
Note
If the display of the second speed is acti vated in mph or km/h, this speed is shown
instead of the odometer on the display.Service Interval DisplayService Interval Display
Before the next service interval a key symbol

and the remaining kilometres are
indicated after switching on the ignition  fig. 16. At the same time, a display appears
regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km. or days until
the service due date is reached. A flashing key symbol

and the text
Service appears in the display for 20 seconds
as soon as the due date for the service is reached.
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a
pre-warning is shown on the disp lay of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:

resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,

makes an entry in the Service schedule,

affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
This can be reset as follows: Press the button page 15, fig. 15 and keep it pressed
down, start the ignition, release the butt on and turn it to the left or right.Caution
We recommend you ask a specialist garage to reset the service interval display. Incor-
rectly setting the service interval display can cause problems to the vehicle.
Note

Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.

information is retained in the Service Inte rval Display also after the battery of the
vehicle is disconnected.

The service interval display will need to be re-configured if the instrument cluster
is replaced. Contact a specialist garage. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.

The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service In terval Display reset only by an author-
ised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.

Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about the
service intervals.

Technical Data
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 1,999 km. The indicator is
set back to null if this
period is exceeded.
Average speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour page 18. If you wish to determine the average speed over a certain period
of time, you must set the memory at the start of the new measurement to zero using
the button on the windshield wiper lever page 19, fig. 19 .
Dashes appear in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.Current speed*The current speed is displayed on the display. It is identical to the display on the
tachometer (speedometer) page 15, fig. 15 .
Note
If the display of the second speed is activa ted in mph, the current speed* is not indi-
cated in km/h on the display.Warning against excessive speeds*This function enables you to set a speed li mit and will notify you if you exceed this
speed limit.Configuring the speed limit while the vehicle is stationary– With switch page 19, fig. 19 , choose the menu point Warning against
excessive speeds .
– Press the switch to activate configurat ion of the speed limit (the value flashes).
– Use switch to set the required speed limit, e.g. 50 km/h.
– Confirm the speed limit that was set with button , or wait 5 seconds until the setting is saved automatically (the value stops flashing). In this way you can set the limit in 5 km/h steps.
Configuring the speed limit while the vehicle is moving– With switch , choose the menu point
Warning against excessive speeds.
– Drive e.°g at a speed of 50 km/h.
– Press the switch to accept the curr ent speed as the speed limit (the value
flashes).
If you wish to change the speed limit that was set, it is changed in 5 km/h intervals (e.g.
the accepted speed of 47 km/h increases to 50 km/h or decreases to 45 km/h).
– Confirm the speed limit that was set by pressing button again, or wait 5 seconds until the setting is saved automati cally (the value stops flashing).Changing or erasing the speed limit– With switch , choose the menu point Warning against excessive speeds.
– When you press the switch ag ain, the speed limit is erased.
– Pressing the switch a further time activates the change mode for the speed limit.
If you exceed the configured speed, an ac oustic signal will sound as a warning. A
Warning against excessive speeds appears together with the set limit on the display.
The set speed limit remains stored even after switching off the ignition.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety.

Monitoring the airbag system
The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
There is a fault in the system if the warning light does not go out or flashes while driving

an accident.Control system for exhaust

The warning light
 comes on after the ignition has been switched on.
If the warning light does not go out after starti ng the engine or it lights up when driving,

selects an emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist
garage by adopting a ge ntle style of driving.
Electromechanical power steering
 
The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up continu-
ously, a fault exists in the electromechanical power steering.

If the yellow warning light lights up
, this indicates a partial failure of the power
steering and the steering forces can be greater.

If the red warning light lights up
, this indicates a complete failure of the power
steering and the steering assist has failed (significantly higher steering forces).

Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note

An audible warning will sound if you wi thdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.

The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the driver's
door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights on.

If the car is parked for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights, or
leaving only the parking lights switched on.

The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.

If a fault occurs in the light switch , the low beam comes on automatically

In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight
lenses is decisive.
 When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens es can possibly mist up at the border
areas.
 It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
 This mist has no influence on th e life of the lighting system.
