Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge ⇒page 13, fig. 3 only operates when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 62 litres. The warning symbol
 in
the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve
marking. There are now about 8 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This
symbol is a reminder for you, that you must 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.
Digital clock
You can set the time with the reset button at the bottom right next
to the rev counter.
Setting clock

Speedometer with counter for distance
driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilom-
eters (km). On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
Bottom counter (trip counter) for distance driven
The bottom counter indicates the distance which you have driven since
this counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile. It can
be reset to zero by pressing the reset button next to the trip counter
⇒ fig. 5 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilom-
eters or miles which the vehicle has been driven. Fault display
dEF
will appear as a constant text in the display field of the counter for
distance driven if there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have this fault
rectified without delay by a Škoda dealer.
Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds
120 kilometres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again
when the vehicle speed goes below this speed limit.
This function is only valid for some countries.

Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the information
appears in the display of the counter for distance driven or in the informa-
tion display⇒fig. 6 .
Service Interval Display
If the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears after
switching on the ignition:
in the display of the trip counter Service 1 500 km
in information display SERVICE in 1500 km
Prior to the due date for the service the kilometer readout decreases in
steps of 100 km. As soon as the due date for the service is reached, the
following text appears: in the display of the trip counter
Service
in information display Service now
The display disappears within 20 seconds after starting the engine. The
trip counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button of the trip
counter (for more than 1 second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
We recommend having this resetting performed by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda dealer:
•resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;
•makes an entry in the Service Schedule;
•affix the sticker to the side of the dash panel on the driver's side, where
the following service interval is entered.
It is also possible for you to reset the Service Interval Display with the
reset button of the trip counter for distance driven as follows (does not
apply to models with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition, press the reset button of the trip counter for
distance driven and hold it down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button of the trip counter.
The text Service or Service now appears in the display.
•Turn the button for resetting the clock to the right - the display is reset.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself
otherwise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly
set, which may also result in problems with operation of your 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.
•it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instru-
ment cluster is installed during repair work. this work is carried out by a
Škoda dealer.
•After resetting the display with flexible service intervals (QG1) using
the reset button of the counter for distance driven, the data displayed are
the same as for a car with fixed service intervals (QG2).
•We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset
only by a Škoda dealer who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the
display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service Plan for extensive information
about the service intervals.
Multi-functional indicator*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display of the revolutions
counter ⇒page 13, fig. 3 or in the information display ⇒fig. 7 depending
on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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 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 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 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 consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is
shown in the display in litres/100 km ⇒page 19. 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 first erase the memory at the start of the new
measurement using the button ⇒page 20, fig. 9 . A zero appears in
the display for the first 300 metres you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 30 metres while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased,
appears in the display ⇒page 19. If you wish to calculate the driving time
from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this
moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 20, fig. 9 .
The maximum time indicated in both switch positions is 99 hours and 59
minutes. The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Distance driven
The distance driven since the memory ⇒page 19 was last erased
appears in the display. If you wish to calculate the distance driven from a

operate. You can now adjust the seat electrically without using the
memory buttons . After pressing switch once again, the seat can be
reset with the memory buttons. If you had already started an operation to
retrieve the settings, this operation is not continued.
If the car is used only by one driver, it is not necessary to store particular
settings in this case, we recommend that you press the button (raised
button).
WARNING
•Only adjust the driver seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk
of injury!
•Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or
bruises as a result of adjusting the seat without paying proper
attention.

ignition is switched off (even when ignition key withdrawn), you
should never leave children unattended in the car.
•The backrests must not be angled too far back when driving
otherwise this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of
the airbag system - risk of injury!
