Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the
Service Interval Disp
lay yourself other-
wise 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.•
If the instrument cluster is exchanged af
ter a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.•
The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service inter- vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having
the Service Interval Display reset only
by an authorised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for reset-ting the display with a vehicle system tester.•
Please refer to the brochure Service sc
hedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and

ge with the button and carry out the

The multi-functional indicator offers
you a range of useful information.
On vehicles which are fitted out with inform
ation display*, it is possible to switch
off the display of some information.

Note
•
In certain national versions
the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures.•
If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed* is not
indicated in km/h on the display.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equi
pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in
the middle of the display field
⇒fig. 20
.
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 da
ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2). Switching over the memory with the help of the button
⇒fig. 21
on the wind-
screen wiper lever or with the help of th
e button on the multifunction steering
wheel*
⇒page 23.
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
.
Total-trip memory (memory 2) The total distance driven memory gathers
data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 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
1 and
2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper leverThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the window wiper lever

After lighting up of the indicator light for the fuel reserve the display 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. If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consumption of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord- ingly to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display ⇒ page 22. If you wish to measure the dist
ance driven of a particular time, you
must set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on the windshield wiper lever
⇒page 22, fig. 21
or the handwheel on the multi-
function stee
ring wheel*
⇒page 23, fig. 22
.
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9 999 km. The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Average speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in km/hour
⇒page 22. If you wish to determine the average vehicle speed over a
certain period of time you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measure-ment using the button on
the windshield wiper lever
⇒page 22, fig. 21
or with
the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒page 23, fig. 22

3) when the ignition is switched
on. Stop the vehicle and switch the engine off
if the warning light does not go off
after the engine has started or flashes while driving. Check the oil level and top up with oil as necessary
⇒page 225.
An audible signal sounds three times as an additional warning signal.Do not continue your journey
if for some reason it is not possible under the
conditions prevailing to top up with oil.
Keep the engine switched off
and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe engine damage.
Do not drive any further
if the warning light flashes even if the oil is at the correct
level. Do not run the engine not at idling
speed either. Contact the nearest specialist
garage to obtain professional assistance. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Oil Pressure Engine off! Owner's manual
WARNING
•
If you must stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic and switch off the engine and switch on the hazard warning light system.•
The red oil pressure light
is not an oil level indicator! One should
therefore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably after every refu- eling stop.EPC fault light
(petrol engine)
The
(Electronic Power Control) warning light comes on for a few seconds when
the ignition is switched on. If the warning light
does not go out or lights up
after starting the engine, a fault
exists in the engine control. The engine management system selects an emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving. The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Engine fault Workshop! (Engine fault workshop!)
Glow plug system
(diesel engine)
The warning light
lights up for a
cold
engine when switching on the ignition
(pre-heat position)

The glow plug indicator light will come on
for about 1 second if the engine is at a
normal operating temperature
or if the outside temperature is above +5°C. This
means that you can start the engine
right away
.

comes
on after switching on the ignition. The warn
ing light must go out after driving a short
distance.Electronic stability programme (ESP)*
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
Components of the ESP system also include the Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), an
d the Antilock Brake System ABS (ABS).
The warning light comes on when drivin
g when a control cycle is activated.
The warning light will come on and remains on if the ESP is switched off or if there is a fault in the system. The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP warning light will also come on if the
ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP
system can be switched off for technical
reasons. In this case, the ESP system can
be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP system is fully functional again. Further information on the ESP
⇒page 193, “Electronic stability programme
(ESP)*”. Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)* The EDL is a part of the ESP. A fault in the EDL is indicated by the ESP warning light in the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected without delay by an author- ised Škoda Service Partner. Further information on the EDL
⇒page 194, “Electronic
Differential Lock (EDL)*”.
