How you can contribute to a cleaner environment
The fuel consumption of your Škoda - and thus the level of pol-
lutants contained in the exhaust - is also determined by how
you drive.
The noise level and wear and tear are also influenced by how
you personally handle your vehicle. This Owner ´s Manual tells
you how to drive your Škoda to achieve the minimum impact
on the environment, and how to save money at the same time.
Look up „Environment“ in the Index to find out more.
Please also refer to all the texts identified with a
in this
Owner ´s Manual.
Make your contribution - for the sake of the environ-
ment.

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 index
The text of the manual are divided into re latively 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.
Sections
The 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.
Equipment which is marked * is only standa rd on certain vehicle model versions or only suppliable as optional equipment for certain models.
Brief information and instructions
Each section has a Heading.
This is followed by Brief information (in large italic lettering), which tells you the subject which is dealt with in this section.
Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an Instruction (in relatively large letters) which explains to you in a straig htforward way the action you have to take. Work steps which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.
Notes
All four kinds of notes, which are used in the text, are always stated at the end of the respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading Warning. These Warning notes draw 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 the possibility of 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 draws your attention to environmental protection aspects. This is where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel consump- tion.
Note
A normal Note draws your attention in a general way to important information.
Direction indications
All direction indications such as “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction of travel of the vehicle.
Measures
In some countries British measures can be given.

When the lights are switched on, the instrument cluster is illuminated.
The version of the instrument cluster can differ depending on the equipment.
Engine revolutions counter
The start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒fig. 2 indicates the maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run in and operating at a normal temperature. Yo u should shift into the next higher gear before this red zone is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
One should shift to the next lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer running “smoothly”.

Avoid high engine speeds during the running-in period ⇒page 153.
Caution
The needle of the revolutions counter must on no account move into the red zone of the scale - risk of engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.
Coolant temperature gauge*
The coolant temperature gauge ⇒page 9, fig. 2 operates only when the ignition 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 temperature 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. Please refer to the guide- lines ⇒page 24, “Coolant temperature/coolant level ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 174, “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 gauge*
The fuel gauge ⇒page 9, fig. 2 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.

Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒fig. 5 or in the information display ⇒page 16, fig. 8 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
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.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equi pped with two automatic memories. The selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 5.
The data of the single-trip memo ry (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 of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 14, fig. 6.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni- tion is switched on until it is switched of f. 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 data from any number of indvidual jour- neys up to a total of 100 hours driving or 10 000 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is disconnected.
Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 6.
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows one to select
the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or do wn. This will cause the individual
functions of the multi-functional indicator to appear in the display
one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.
The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by button :
•average fuel consumption,
•distance driven,
•average speed,
•Driving time.
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the fu nction displayed is the one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature indicator ⇒page 15, fig. 7 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds. The snoke flake symbol draws the attention of the driver to possible black ice formation. The display swicthes back after 10 seconds to the last selected function.

Outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5 minutes. If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature indicator ⇒fig. 7 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
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!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data (guidance to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for vehicles which have a navigation and information display).
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 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 from this moment on, the range will be increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery) before a new readout for the range is displayed.
Current fuel consumption
The 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.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the me mory was last erased is shown in the display in litres/100 km ⇒page 13. This information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel co nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain period of time you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the button ⇒page 14, fig. 6. A zero appears in the display for the first 300 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 consum ed will not be indicated.
