The warning lights in the instrument cluster 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■Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
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.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and 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
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

WARNINGConcentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
Door, luggage compartment or bonnet warning
Read and observe
on page 39 first.
If at least one door is open, or the boot or bonnet is open, the display indicates
the relevant open door or boot/bonnet.
An acoustic signal will also sound if you drive the vehicle above 6 km/h when a
door is open.
Overspeed warning at 120 km/h
Read and observe
on page 39 first.
This function only applies to certain countries.
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120
km/h. The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls
below 120 km/h.
Auto-check control
Read and observe
on page 39 first.
Certain functions and conditions of individual vehicle systems are checked
continuously when the ignition is switched on.
As long as the faults are not rectified the messages are always shown. After
they are displayed for the first time, the warning lights
(danger) or
(warn-
ing) continue to be indicated without information for the driver.
Gear recommendation

Information on the selected
gear / Gear recommendation
Read and observe on page 39 first.
A suitable gear is engaged, if necessary, a recommendation to shift to high or
lower gear is displayed.
A suitably engaged gear helps to reduce the fuel consumption and assist the
service life and reliability of the engine.

▶The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
Protection against unwanted vehicle unlocking
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched on.WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - there is a danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ig-
nition lock.
