Mark for the maximum permissible coolant level
Mark for the lowest permissible coolant level
The coolant level should be kept between the marks
A
and
B
.
If the coolant level is above the mark
A,
no coolant may be topped up.
If the coolant level is below the mark
B,
the coolant must be topped up.
Checking the level
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle. » Fig. 167.
Check the coolant level only when the engine is cold.
ABIf the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The level can also be
above the mark A » Fig. 167 .
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank is too low, this is indicated by
the warning light 
illuminating in the instrument cluster » page 36, 
Cool-
ant . We still recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir
from time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the system. Do
not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a specialist
garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 191 first.
The coolant expansion tank must always contain a small amount of cool-
ant » page 191, in section Introduction .
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Allow the engine to cool.
›
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and carefully un-
screw the cap.
›
Replenish the coolant.
›
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
CAUTION
■ Only top up with new coolant.■Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available. In
this case, use only water and have the correct mixing ratio of water and cool-
ant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.

WARNING■The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 186.■

Do not continue your journey if the fluid level has fallen below the MIN
marking » Fig. 168 on page 193 - there is a risk of an accident. Seek help
from a specialist garage.
■
Do not use used brake fluid - the function of the brake system may be im-
paired – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Brake fluid damages the paintwork of the vehicle.
Note
■ The brake fluid is changed as part of a compulsory inspection service.■We recommend using brake fluids from the ŠKODA Original Accessories
range.
Checking the brake fluid level

reservoir
Read and observe and on page 193 first.
The brake fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment » Fig. 168.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Check the level of brake fluid in the reservoir » Fig. 168.
The level must be between the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.
A slight drop in the fluid level results in operation due to normal wear-and-tear
and the automatic adjustment of the brake pads.
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the fluid
level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the “MIN” mark- ing.
If the brake fluid level is too low, this is indicated by the warning light
 » page 35 , 
Brake system illuminating in the instrument cluster.
Changing
Read and observe
and on page 193 first.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture. Over time it therefore absorbs moisture from the
environment.
Excessive water in the brake fluid may be the cause of corrosion in the brake
system.
The water content lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid.
The brake fluid must comply with the following standards or specifications: › VW 50114;
› FMVSS 116 DOT4.
