Advice on tyre/wheel usage
New tyres , during the first 500 km, new tyres do not offer optimum grip and
appropriate care should therefore be taken when driving.
Always fit tyres with a greater profile depth on the front wheels.
Wheels and bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. We recom-
mend that you use wheel rims and wheel bolts from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.
Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and, where possible, dark place. The
tyres themselves should be stored standing.
Tyre life
Tyres age and lose their original characteristics, even if they are not being
used. Therefore, we recommend not using tyres that are more than 6 years
old.
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre sidewall (possibly on the in-
side ). E.g. DOT ... 10 16... means, for example, that the tyre was manufactured
in the 10. week of 2016.
Tyre damage
We recommend checking your tyres and wheel rims for damage (punctures,
cuts, splits and bulges, etc.) on a regular basis.
Remove any foreign objects in the tyre tread immediately (e.g. small stones).
Foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre (e.g. screws or nails)
should not be removed. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Installation of new tyres
Only fit radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and the same
tread pattern on one axle on all 4 wheels.
When mounting new tyres the tyres have to be replaced axle by axle.
Uni-directional tires
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the
tyre .
The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded. ▶ Driving stability.
▶ Traction.
▶ Tyre noise and tyre wear.
Tyres with increased puncture resistance
Some vehicles may be fitted with tyres at the factory that have increased
puncture resistance (so-called “SEAL” tyres). For some countries, vehicles are
equipped with “SEAL” tyres delivered without a spare wheel and appropriate
tools.
If “SEAL”tyres are replaced with standard tyres, the vehicle must be retrofitted
with a puncture repair kit or spare wheel and appropriate hand tools.WARNING■ Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.■Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ The tyres must be protected from contact with substances such as oil,
grease and fuel, which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with
these substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a special-
ist workshop.■
Do not use rims with ground or polished surface in winter conditions - there
is a risk of wheel damage (e.g. from the road grit).
Note
■ We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres is carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
We recommend that you use wheel rims, tyres, full wheel trims and snow
chains from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

Changing a wheel
Preliminary work
For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before
changing a wheel on the road.
›
As far as possible, park the vehicle far away from the traffic flow - find a
place with a flat and firm surface.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
For vehicles with manual transmission , select 1st gear.
›
For vehicles with automatic transmission , place the selector lever in the P
position.
›
Switch on the parking brake.
›
Position the hazard warning system and the warning triangle at the prescri-
bed distance.
›
All the occupants should get out of the vehicle. The passengers should not
stand on the road (instead they should remain behind a crash barrier, for in-
stance) while the wheel is being changed.
›
Uncouple any trailers.
Changing a wheel
›
Remove the spare wheel » page 283.
›
Remove the full wheel trim » page 283 or caps » page 283 .
›
Loosen the wheel bolts » page 284 » .
›
Jack up the vehicle » page 284 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of
the ground.
›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,
etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
›
Lower the vehicle.
›
Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“alter- nating crosswise”) » page 284.
›Replace the wheel trim
» page 283and the caps » page 283.
When fitting a wheel with a unidirectional tyre, ensure that the direction of ro-
tation is correct » page 276.
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If the screws are corroded and dif-
ficult to move, then these must be replaced.WARNING■ Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn) while the vehicle is not
jacked up. Otherwise, the wheel could come off and fall down – there is a
risk of injury.■
Under no circumstances grease or oil the wheel bolts - risk of accident!
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage
compartment and secure with a locking screw.
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.
›
Check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressure on the assembled wheel,
and, for vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values
in the system » page 249.
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked with a torque wrench
as soon as possible. The prescribed tightening torque is 140 Nm.
Replace the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair op-
tions.
WARNINGA tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads
and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on
the rim. Too low tightening torque, the wheels may fall off while driving -
risk of an accident. Drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed until the
tightening torque has been checked.282Do-it-yourself
