r 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 C

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 po ssibility 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.

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
Engine revolutions counter
The red zone of the rev counter scale ⇒page 10, fig. 2 indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to li mit the engine speed. The engine control
unit restricts the engine speed to the steady limit value.
Shift into the next higher gear or select the selector lever position D of the auto-
matic gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale.
Avoid high engine speeds during the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature ⇒page 187.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps yo u save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.
Speedometer
Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound wh en the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome-
tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge ⇒page 10, fig. 2 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 temp erature. 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 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 31, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 209, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonn et and inspecting the coolant level.

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 temper atures and high engine loads!
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge ⇒page 10, fig. 2 only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of ab out 60 litres. The warning symbol
in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now
about 9 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! (Please refuel!)

An audible signal 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 cata lytic converter.
Note
After refuelling, the fuel gauge may drop by approx. a fraction during dynamic
driving (e.g. numerous curves, braking, up hill and downhill). When stopping the
vehicle or during less dyna mic driving, the fuel gauge indicates again the correct
fuel quantity. This occurrence is not a fault.
Counter for distance driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the meas uring unit “mile” is used.
Reset button
If you hold the reset button ⇒page 10 pressed for about 1 second, the trip
counter is set back to zero. Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven
⇒fig. 3 since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven
The counter for distance driven ⇒fig. 3 indicates the total distance in kilometers or
miles which the vehicle has driven.
Fa u l t d i s p l a y
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster Error will appear as a constant text in the
display. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons!
Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the inform ation display* the display of the second
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the
counter for the total distance driven.
