Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
6
Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy for
you to find and absorb the information you require.Chapters, table of contents and subject indexThe text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are
combined into easy-to-read chapters . The chapter you are reading at any particular
moment is highlighted at the bottom right of the page.
The Table of contents is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject index at the end of the Owner's Manual helps you to rapidly find the infor-
mation you are looking for.SectionsThe majority of Sections apply to all models.
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clearly
unavoidable, despite dividing the contents into sections, that mention may be made
of equipment which is not fitted to your vehicle.Brief information and instructionsEach section has a Heading .
This is followed by Brief information (in large italic letteri ng), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section.
Most of the illustration s are accompanied by an Instruction (in relatively large
letters) which explains to you in a straight forward way the action you have to take.
Work steps which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.Direction indicationsAll direction indications such as “left”, “right ”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.Explanation of symbols Equipment which is marked in such a way is only standard on certain vehicle
model versions or only suppliable as optional equipment for certain models. End of a section. The section is continued on the next page.NotesThere are four kinds of notes. Notes al ways appear at the end of a section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading WARNING. A WARNING
note draws your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury. While reading
the text you will frequently encounter a double arrow followed by a small
warning symbol. This symbol is intended to draw your attention to a WARNING
note at the end of the section to which you must pay careful attention.
Caution
A Caution note draws your attention to how you might avoid damage to your vehicle
(e.g. damage to gearbox), or points out general risks of an accident.
For the sake of the environment
An Environmental note has information about protecting the environment. This is
where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel consumption.
Note
A normal Note draws your attention in a gene ral way to important information.

at a normal temperature. Before reaching th e red zone of the rev counter scale, shift
up into the next higher gear. The engine control unit restricts the engine speed to
a steady limit value.
Before reaching the red zone of the rev coun ter scale, shift up into the next higher
gear.
Avoid high engine speeds during the driving time and before the engine has
reached operating temperature page 111.

16For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.SpeedometerThe speedometer shows the current speed of the car.Engine coolant temperature DisplayThe coolant temperature gauge page 15, fig. 15 operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on.
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 pointer 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 25, “Coolant temperature/coolant level ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes page 131, “Working in the engine compart-
ment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components 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 15, fig. 15 only works when the ig nition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of ab out 55 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are
now about 9 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you must refuel .
An acoustic signal sounds as an additional reminder.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! The irregular supply of the fuel system
can lead to irregular running of the engine. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust
system and damage the catalytic converter.Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with yo ur vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measuring unit “mile” is used.
Reset button
Hold the reset button page 15, fig. 15 pressed for approx. 1 second. The trip
counter is reset to zero.
Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter shows the distance driven since the time the trip counter was last
erased. The trip is shown in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance in kilometres or miles which the vehicle
has been driven.
Fault display
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 fo r distance driven while driving for safety
reasons!

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 In terval Display, if a service message or at
least a pre-warning is shown on the display 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 follo wing 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 button and turn it to the left or right.
Caution
We recommend you ask a specialist garage to reset the service interval display.
Incorrectly 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 Interval 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 rese tting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as th at for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by an authorised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for reset-
ting the display with a vehicle system tester.
•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
Digital clockYou can set the time with the rotary knob page 15, fig. 15 .
Select the information which you wish to change by turning the button and carry
out the change of the selected information by pressing the button.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while dr iving for safety reasons but only when
the vehicle is stationary!

Recommended gear*An information for the selected gear fig. 17 is shown in the display of the
instrument cluster.
In order to minimise the fuel consumpt ion, a recommendation for shifting into
another gear is indicated in the display.
If the control unit recognises that it is appropriate to change the gear, an arrow
is shown in the display. The arrow points upwards or downwards depending on
whether it is recommended to switch to a higher or lower gear.
At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently
selected gear .Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThis data from the multi-functional indicator appears in the display fig. 18 .
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equi pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field fig. 18 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the display.
A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance memory
(memory 2).
Switching over the memory takes place with the button page 19, fig. 19 on the
windshield wiper lever.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the drivin g information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other
hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.

Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers da
ta from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1.999 kilometres driven. The
memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts
from anew.
The total-trip memory will no t, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper leverThe rocker and the button are located in the grip of the window wiper lever
 fig. 19 .Selecting the memory– Tapping the rocker on the windshield wiper lever allows you to select the
desired memory.Selecting the functions– Press the rocker up or down. In this way, call up in sequence the individual
functions of the multi-functional indicator.Setting function to zero– Select the memory you want. –Press button .
The following readouts of the selected memory will be
set to zero by button :
•
average fuel consumption,
•
distance driven,

You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears before the te mperature indicator and a warning signal
sounds. After pressing the rocker on the windshield wiper lever fig. 19 , the
function which was shown last is indicated.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature display
that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be present
on the road surface even at temperatures around +4 °C - warning, drive with
care!Driving timeThe driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display. If you wish to measure the driv ing time as of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button fig. 19
on the windshield wiper lever for longer than 1 second.

Current consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your styl e of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low
speed.
The indicated value will be updated every 0.5 seconds while you are driving.Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the me mory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km page 18. This information can help you to adapt your style
of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption 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. A zero appears 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.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance
you can still drive with your vehicle based on the current level of fuel in the tank for
the same style of driving.
The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for
the fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner, the range will be increased accordingly.
If the memory is set to zero (after disc onnecting the battery), the fuel consumption
of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord-
ingly to the style of driving.
Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
 page 18. If you wish to calculate the distance driven as of a particular time, you
must erase the memory at th is moment in time by pressing the button on the
windshield wiper lever page 19, fig. 19 .
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 displa y. 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 limi t 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.
