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 environment.

Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations) 6Layout 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 partic-
ular 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.
Equipment which is marked * is only standard on certain vehicle model versions or
only suppliable as optional equipment for certain models.Brief information and instructionsEach 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 straightforward 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.NotesAll 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 indicationsAll direction indications such as “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.

Engine revolutions counterThe start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run
in and operating at a normal temperature. Shift into the next higher gear or change
into the selector lever position D of the automatic gearbox before reaching this
zone.
One should shift to a lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”.

Technical Data During the driving time and always before the engine has reached its operating
temperature, generally avoid high engine speeds ⇒page 163.
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 to a higher gear in good time helps to reduce the fuel consumption, mini-
mises operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer
life and reliability of the engine.Coolant temperature gauge*The coolant temperature gauge ⇒page 18, fig. 18 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 temperature as soon as the pointer has
reached the mid-range of the scale*. The pointer may also move further to the right
at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. 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 32, “Coolant temperature/coolant level ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 185, “Working in the engine
compartment” 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 gauge*The fuel gauge ⇒page 18, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer drops to 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.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 22Digital clockA reset button is installed on the left below beside the speedometer for
adjusting the clock ⇒page 18, fig. 18.
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes
– Turn the reset button to the right.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons but only
when the vehicle is stationary.Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒fig. 21 or in the information
display ⇒page 25, fig. 24 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.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 21.
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 of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 23, fig. 22.
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 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.

Technical Data 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 systemThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 22.
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows to select the
desired memory.Selecting the functions

the individual functions of the multi-functional indicator.
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;
•

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.
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 24,
fig. 23 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.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 24Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
The correct value 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. 23 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).
RangeThe 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 consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
information can help you to adapt your style 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 consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒page 22. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to achieve.
