Diesel particulate filter (diesel engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 14.
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a reg-
ular basis.
If the indicator light
lights up, soot has accumulated in the filter.
In order to clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, the vehicle
should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 -
2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with the 4th
or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S) when the traffic situation
permits it.
The indicator light
only goes out after the diesel particulate filter has been
successfully cleaned.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the indicator light
does not go out and the
indicator light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Diesel particulate filter: Log book!
The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After switching the ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING■ The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
park in areas where the hot filter can come into direct contact with dry grass
or other combustible materials – there is the risk of fire!■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the indicator light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
As long as the indicator light lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
engine.
Note
■ To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
lifespan of the filter. A ŠKODA service partner will be able to tell you which coun- tries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.

Rear mirror
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
64
Exterior mirrors
65WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other objects.■Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of vi-
sion. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to operation-
al faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
WARNINGAutomatic dimming mirrors contain an electrolytic fluid which may leak should
the mirror glass break.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath apparatus.
Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not possible,
open all windows and doors.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately
wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. Then con-
sult a doctor immediately.
63Lights and visibility
Page 67 of 274
CAUTIONNever mechanically fold in or fold back the exterior mirrors with the fold-in func-
tion by hand as this will damage the electric drive.
Note
■
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen for the rear
window in the housing on the boot cover is not in use or the light striking the in- terior rear-view mirror is not affected by other objects.■
If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror dim-
ming is also switched off.
■
The mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an out-
side temperature of +35 ℃.
■
Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.
■
If the electrical exterior mirror setting fails at any time, the mirrors can be adjus-
ted by hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
