Technical Data
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dy namic driving (e.g. numerous curves, braking,
driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates approx. a fraction
less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the correct fuel supply quantity is
indicated. This effect is not a fault.Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with yo ur vehicle is shown in kilometres (km). In
some countries the measuring unit “mile” is used.
Reset button
If you hold the reset button page 15 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 since it was last reset -
in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven
The counter for distance driven indicates th e total distance in kilometers or miles
which the vehicle has been driven.
Fa u l t d i s p l a y
If there is a fault in the instru ment cluster, the constant text Error appears 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.
Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ on the display.
Service Interval Display
Before the next service interval a key symbol

and the remaining kilometers are
indicated after switching on the ignition fig. 16 . At the same time, a display appears
regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Service in ... km or ... days
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km. or days until
the service due date is reached.
A flashing key symbol

Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a
pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
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.
Reset the service interval displays by using the reset button page 15 on the trip
counter.
On vehicles which are equipped with inform ation display*, you can call up this infor-

ResetCaution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se rvice 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 Inter val Display also after the battery of the
vehicle is disconnected.

If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interva l Display. This work is carried out by a
specialist garage.

The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service In terval Display reset only by an author-
ised 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 information about the
service intervals.
Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and page 15, fig. 15 .

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 page 66.

Take care when opening the coolant expa nsion bottle. If the engine is hot,
the cooling system is pressurized - risk of scalding! It is best to allow the engine
to cool down before removing the cap.

Do not touch the coolant fan The coolant fan may switch on automatically
even if the ignition is off.
Traction control system (TCS)

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The warning light flashes when a control cycle is activated while driving.
The warning light lights up permanentl y if there is a fault in the system.
The fact that the TCS system operates together with the ABS means that the TCS
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 TCS system
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the TCS system can be switched
on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the TCS
system is fully functional again.
Further information about the TCS page 188, “Traction control system (TCS)”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
 comes on
after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short
distance.
Switch off traction control system (TCS)

The TCS system is switched off by pressing the button page 188, fig. 171 and the
warning light
 lights up.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)*

tion display.
The ESP system cannot be switched off, only the TCS system can be switched off by
pressing the button page 187, fig. 170, the warning light
 lights up.
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the ESP 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 igni tion on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP
system is fully functional again.
Further information on the ESP page 187, “Electronic stability programme (ESP)*”.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)*
The EDL is a part of the ESP. A fault in the ED L is indicated by the lighting up of the ESP
warning light in the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected without delay by an
authorised Škoda Service Partner. Further information on the EDL page 188, “Elec-
tronic Differential Lock (EDL)*”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
 comes on
after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short
distance.
