Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
6Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy for you to find and absorb the information you require.Chapters, table of contents and subject indexThe text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are combined into easy-to-read
chapters
. The chapter you are reading at any particular
moment is highlighted at the bottom right of the page. The
Table of contents
is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject
index
at the end of the Owner's Manual helps
you to rapidly find the information you
are looking for.SectionsThe majority of
Sections
apply to all models.
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clearly unavoidable, despite dividing the contents
into sections, that
mention may be made
of equipment whic
h is not fitted to your vehicle.
Brief information and instructionsEach section has a
Heading
.
This is followed by
Brief information
(in large italic lettering), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section. Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an
Instruction
(in relatively large letters)
which explains to you in a straightforw
ard way the action you have to take.
Work steps

which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.Direction indicationsAll direction indications such as “left”, “right”,
“front”, “rear” relate to the direction of
travel of the vehicle.Explanation of symbols* Equipment which is marked in such a way is
only standard on certain vehicle model
versions or only suppliable as opti
onal equipment for certain models.
 End of a section.
 The section is continued on the next page.NotesAll four kinds of notes, which are used in th
e text, are always stated at the end of the
respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked
with the heading WARNING. These
WARNING notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury. While reading the text you will frequent
ly encounter a double arrow followed
by a small warning symbol. This symbol is intended to draw your attention to a WARNING note at the end of the section to which you must pay careful atten- tion.
Caution
A Caution
note draws your attention to the possib
ility of damage to your vehicle (e.g.
damage to gearbox), or points ou
t general risks of an accident.
For the sake of the environment
An
Environmental
note draws your attention to environmental protection aspects.
This is where you will, for example, find tips
aimed at reducing your fuel consumption.
Note
A normal
Note
draws your attention in a general way to important information.

Technical Data
Engine revolutions counterThe red zone of the rev counter scale
⇒page 16, fig. 15
indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to limi
t the engine speed. The engine control unit
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit value. Shift into the next higher gear or select th
e selector lever position D of the automatic
gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale. Avoid high engine speeds du
ring the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature
⇒page 173.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you sa
ve fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.
SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds* An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will sw
itch off again when the vehicle speed goes
below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge
⇒page 16, fig. 15
operates only when the ignition
is switched on. In order to avoid any damage to the engine,
please pay attention to
the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid runni
ng at high engine speeds, at full throttle
and at severe engine loads. The operating range The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may
also move further to the right at high
engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the warning symbol
 in the instrument cl
uster does not flash.
If the symbol
 in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature
is too high or the coolant
level
is too low. Observe the guidelines
⇒ page 34, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonn
et and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet impair the cooling efficiency
of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge
⇒page 16, fig. 15
only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of
about 60 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 10.5 litres of fuel remaining in the ta
nk. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you
must refuel
.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.

Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty!
The irregular supply of the fuel system can
lead to irregular running of
the engine. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system
and damage the catalytic converter.
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 16, fig. 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
⇒fig. 16
since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven The counter for distance driven
⇒fig. 16
indicates the total distance in kilometers or
miles which the ve
hicle has driven.
Fa ult di spl ay If there is a fault in the inst
rument cluster, a co
nstant text will appear in the display
Error
. 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 info
rmation 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. 17
. At the same time, a display appears
regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.

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

ResetCaution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se
rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise
this can result in the service interval displa
y 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 Inte
rval 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 Interval
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.

Technical Data
Single-trip memory (memory 1) The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours
after switching off
the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for
more than 2 hours
.
Total-trip memory (memory 2) The total distance driven memory gathers da
ta from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew. The total-trip memory will not, contrary to
the single-trip memory, be deleted after a
period of interr
uption of driving of 2 hours.
