The warning lights indicate certain functions or faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
WARNING■ Ignoring illuminated indicator lights and related messages or instructions
in the instrument cluster display may lead to serious personal injury or
damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 62. The warning triangle must be set up at the pre-
scribed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.

›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check the coolant lev-
el » page 147 .
›
If the coolant level is too low, add coolant to the reservoir » page 147.
If the warning light
does not illuminate , after adding coolant and switching
on the ignition, you may continue your journey.
If the coolant is within the specified range and the warning light is still
illu-
minated after switching on the ignition, then there may be a malfunction of
the cooling fan.
›
Switch off the ignition.
›
Check the fuse for the radiator fan, replace if necessary » page 175, Fuses in
the engine compartment .

1)
Applies to cars with the instrument cluster - Version 2.
36Using the system
Page 40 of 204
Seek help from a specialist garage.WARNING■Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cool-
ing system is pressurized – risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the
engine to cool down before removing the cap.■
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
matically even if the ignition is off - a danger of injury is present!
CAUTION
■ Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.

regular basis.
If the warning light
illuminates , rust has accumulated in the filter.
1)
Applies to vehicles with START-STOP system.
38Using the system
Page 42 of 204
To clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit » , drive as follows for
at least 15 minutes or until the indicator light goes out.
4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic transmission: position S).
Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
Engine speed between 1,800-2,500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning icon
goes out .
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light does
not go out and
the warning light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Diesel particulate filter: Log book!
The system allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After switching the
ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light also
illumi-
nates .
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.WARNING■ The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of
the engine.■
Using diesel fuel with increased sulphur content can significantly reduce the
service life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA Partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with increased sulphur content.
Note
■ To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
Fuel reserve
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
When the warning light
illuminates , this means there is a fuel reserve of
less than 7 litres remaining.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Please refuel. Range: ... km
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
The text in the display goes out only after refuelling and driving a short dis-
tance.
Airbag system
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
If the warning light
illuminates , there is a fault in the airbag system.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Error: Airbag
The functionality of the airbag system is monitored automatically even if one
of the airbags is switched off.
The front passenger airbag has been disabled with the key switch
› The warning light
illuminates for around 4 seconds after the ignition has
been switched on;;
› The warning light

WARNINGWhen a fault in the airbag system occurs, there is a risk of the system not
being triggered in the event of an accident. Therefore, this must be
checked immediately by a specialized company.
Tyre inflation pressure
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
The warning light is illuminated
If the warning light illuminates while driving, it means one of the tyres has
undergone a pressure change.
An audible signal sounds as a warning signal.
›
Immediately reduce speed and avoid sudden steering and braking manoeu-
vres.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and check the tyres and their inflation
pressure » page 153 .
›
Correct the tyre pressure, if necessary or replace the affected
wheel » page 160 or use the repair kit » page 164.
›
Store the tyre pressure values in the system » page 119.
The warning light flashes for about 1 min. and remains illuminated
If the warning light flashes for approximately 1 min. and remains on, there
may be a fault in the tyre pressure monitoring system.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and start the engine again.
If the warning light flashes after starting the engine again, there is a system
error.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The illumination of the warning light can have the following reasons.
› The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
› The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
› Snow chains are mounted.
› A wheel has been changed.
Store the tyre pressure values in the system » page 119.
CAUTIONUnder certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light in the instrument cluster may be delayed or not
light up at all.
Note
If the vehicle battery has been disconnected and then reconnected, the indica-
tor light comes on after switching on the ignition. If the warning light does
not go out after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error in
the system. Seek help from a specialist garage.

Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the
ignition is switched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1 999 kilometres driven ( ), and a total
of 99 hours and 59 minutes or 9 999 kilometres driven ( ).
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
The following values of the selected memory are set to zero. › Average fuel consumption.
› Distance driven.
› Average speed.
› Driving time
