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 relatively 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 information 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 standard 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 straightforward 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 acci-
dent 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 acci-
dent.
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 consumption.
Note
A normal Note  draws your attention in a general way to important informa-
tion.
Direction indications
All direction indications such as “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear” relate to the 
direction of travel of the vehicle.

Engine revolutions counter
The start of the red zone in the revolutions counter    ⇒page 13, 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. You 
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 192.
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 13, 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 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. Please 
refer to the guidelines  ⇒page 32, “Coolant temperature, Coolant quantity 
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes  ⇒page 219, “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 overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine 
loads!

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge   ⇒page 13, fig. 2 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.
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.
Digital clock
You can set the time with the reset button at the bottom right next 
to the rev counter.
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes

Speedometer with counter for distance 
driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilome-
tres (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. 4 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilome-
tres 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 the fault 
rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop.
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.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while 
driving for safety reasons!

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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
⇒page 16, fig. 5 .
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 kilometre 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 specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
•resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,
•makes an entry in the Service schedule,
•affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the 
side of the dash panel on the driver's side. It is also possible for you to reset the Service Interval Display with the 
reset button   
⇒page 16, fig. 5  as follows (does not apply to models 
with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition (if not already off), press the reset button   and 
hold it down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button  . 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 
specialist garage.
•After resetting the display with flexible service intervals (QG1) using 
the reset button  , 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 Service Partner who is familiar with 
the procedure for resetting the display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive informa-
tion about the service intervals.
