The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
Warning lights in the display
Depending on the importance the warning light
(danger) or
(warning) illu-
minate along with some of the warning lights in the list with the warning
lights.
Depending on vehicle specification, some warning lights may be displayed in
colour on the display. For example. the coolant warning lamp may be represen-
ted as follows.
▶ - Segment Display / monochromatic (“black and white”) MAXI DOT display
▶ - colour MAXI DOT displayWARNING■
Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury
or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 71. Place the warning triangle at the prescribed dis-
tance.

Information overview
Read and observe
on page 42 first.
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Range
The detail provides information about the distance in km, that can be travelled
with the current tank and with the same driving style.
If you drive more efficiently this value can increase.
AdBlue ®
range
The detail provides information about the distance in km that can still be trav-
elled with the AdBlue ®
capacity and with the same driving style.
If you drive more efficiently this value can increase.
Average fuel consumption
The indication is calculated continuously since the last deletion of the memory.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 100 m driven.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel
consumption.
When the vehicle is stationary or slowly moving the fuel consumption is dis-
played in l/h (on models for some countries the following appears --,- km/l).
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature is reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine
revs, full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in the system for
checking the oil temperature are displayed instead of the oil temperature.
Warning against excessive speeds
Set the speed limit, for example, for the maximum permissible speed in town
» page 44 .
Dynamic Road Sign Display
The following road sign will be displayed. ▶ Speed limit.
▶ Overtaking prohibited.
Further information » page 180, Traffic sign recognition .
Current driving speed
The display is identical to the display on the speedometer. 43Information system
Page 206 of 276
Preheating fuel
The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter preheating system. This secures opera-
tion of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of
-24 °C.
Diesel fuel additives
The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the con-
ditions for a smooth running engine. We therefore recommend that no diesel
fuel additives are used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the
engine or the exhaust system.
CAUTION
■ Just filling the tank once with diesel fuel that does not comply with the
standard, can cause severe damage to parts of the engine, the fuel and ex-
haust system.■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition! Extensive damage to engine parts can occur.
■
Water which has collected in the fuel filter can cause engine faults.
CAUTION
■ The vehicle cannot be operated with biofuel RME, therefore this fuel must
not be refuelled and driven. The use of biofuel RME can cause considerable
damage to parts of the engine or fuel system.■
Do not mix any fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and similar
agents) into the diesel. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the
engine or the exhaust system.
AdBlue ®
and its refilling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Tank and level check
205
AdBlue ®
replenish
205
In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue ®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
For vehicles with the AdBlue ®
injection system there is a note on the inside of
the fuel filler flap referring to the location of the AdBlue ®
filler neck and the
AdBlue ®
- minimum replenishment amount, that is required by a low AdBlue ®
-
level.
AdBlue ®
standard
Only use AdBlue ®
that corresponds to the standard ISO 22241-1.
AdBlue ®
- consumption
The AdBlue ®
consumption amounts to around 0.8 - 1.2 l / 1000 km.
The AdBlue ®
consumption depends on driving style, the operating tempera-
ture of the system and on the weather conditions.
For information on storing AdBlue ®
▶ Keep AdBlue ®
only in original sealed containers and in a safe place.
▶ Keep the container out of the reach of children.
▶ Do not expose the containers to direct sunlight or temperatures above 30° C.
Instructions for cleaning ▶ If any painted vehicle parts, clothing and carpets are splashed with AdBlue ®
wash the affected area with a damp cloth and plenty of cold water.
▶ Remove any dried AdBlue ®
with warm water and a sponge.
Fault display
In the event of a system fault, the warning light is displayed in the instru-
ment cluster as well as the relevant notification » page 39.WARNING■
AdBlue ®
is an irritating and corrosive solution that can injure the skin,
eyes and respiratory system!■
In the event of eye or skin contact with AdBlue ®
, immediately wash the
affected area for at least 15 minutes with water and seek medical attention
immediately.
■
If AdBlue ®
is swallowed rinse your mouth with water for at least 15 mi-
nutes and consult a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
■ Never carry containers with AdBlue ®
permanently in the vehicle - there is a
risk of damage to the vehicle interior.■
Never add water or other additives AdBlue ®
.
204General Maintenance
Page 207 of 276
Note■The AdBlue ®
solution freezes at a temperature of -11° C and lower. The sys-
tem has a heater to ensure the operability at low temperatures.■
We recommend purchasing AdBlue ®
refill bottles from the ŠKODA original
parts.

AdBlue ®
is a registered trademark of the VDA. AdBlue ®
is also known as AUS
32 (Aqueous Urea Solution) or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
Tank and level check
Read and observe
and on page 204 first.
Tank
There is a separate tank for AdBlue ®
, the filler neck
A
is located next to the
fuel filler cap » Fig. 226 on page 205 .
The AdBlue ®
tank filling is about 13 litres.
Checking the level
The AdBlue ®
level is automatically monitored.
When the available travel distance that can be completed with the remaining
AdBlue ®
- tank capacity drops to about 2400 km, the indicator light appears in
the instrument cluster and a request for replenishment of AdBlue ®
appears.
An indication also appears in the instrument cluster showing the maximum
and minimum AdBlue ®
- tank capacity »
.
If the available travel distance that can be driven with the existing AdBlue ®
-
tank capacity drops down to 0 km, then no motor start is possible.
The distance, which can still be driven with the remaining AdBlue ®
, can be de-
termined using the travel data » page 43.
CAUTION
■
Never overfill the AdBlue ®
- tank - there is a risk of damaging the vehicle
components!■
Never completely empty the AdBlue ®
- tank!
AdBlue ®
replenishFig. 226
Open fuel filler flap / unscrew tank cap / place the tank cap on
the fuel filler flap
Read and observe
and on page 204 first.
When adding AdBlue ®
take note of the minimum and maximum AdBlue ®
tank
capacity shown in the display of the instrument cluster » page 39.
We recommend that you have AdBlue ®
topped up by a specialist garage. You
can also, if necessary, top this up yourself using a canister or a fuel nozzle at a
petrol station.
We recommend when refilling using refill bottles that you use refill bottles
from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

s, so that the refilling can be recognized by the system.
Only then start the engine.
CAUTION
The AdBlue ®
- tank is full when no AdBlue ®
flows from the refill bottle or as
soon as the correctly operated pump cuts out for the first time. Do not contin-
ue refilling AdBlue ®

Note
The working life of the AdBlue ®
solution is 4 years. Thereafter the solution
must be replaced by a specialist garage.
