Mobile phones and tw
o-way radio systems
The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be carried out by a specialist garage. Mobile phones send and receive radio wave
s during a conversation as well as in
standby mode. Radio waves can be harmful
to the human body if their frequency
exceeds certain limit values. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mobile
phones and two-way radio systems with
a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts. It is essential that you inform yourself at
a specialist garage about the possibilites to
assemble and operate systems
which have a power output of more than 10 W. They
will inform you which technical possibilit
ies exist for retrofitting mobile phones.
When using a mobille phone inside the vehicl
e, which is not inserted into the phone
adapter, and thus has no connection to the
external aerial, the electromagnetic radia-
tion can exceed the current limit value. We therefore recommend to operate a mobile phone in the vehicle only when it is conne
cted to an external aerial via the phone
adapter. This improves the quality of the connection. Operation of mobile phones or two-way ra
dio systems may interfere with functioning
of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:•
no external aerial,
•
external aerial incorrectly installed,
•
transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio
system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special exte
rnal aerial or an extern
al aerial which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field in the interior of the vehicle.•
Please concentrate fully at
all times on your driving!
•
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts on
the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to the
occupants in the event of an accident.
•
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on
the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuver, an accident or a collision. In this case, the occupants of the vehicle might be injured.
Note
Observe the country-specific regulations for the use of mobile phones in vehicles.Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*IntroductionThe telephone preinstallation GSM ll is a complete and built-in “handsfree-system”, it provides a voice operated convenience mode via the multifunction steering wheel* or the touchscreen of the radio*
or the navigation system*.
All communication between a telephone and
the handsfree-system of your vehicle
can only be established with the help of the Bluetooth
® technology. The adapter*
serves only for charging the telephone and fo
r transmitting the signal to the external
aerial of the vehicle. To ensure an optimum signal transmission, always leave the telephone with the adapter* in the telephone mount. A phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph
one preinstallation with voice control. In
the phone phonebook there are 1 500 free me
mory locations available. This phone
phonebook is independent of the a
ppliance used for the mobile phone.
If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready
”, please check
the operating state of the telephone as follows:
a)Only valid for the navigation system Columbus.

Traction control system (TCS) The traction control system prevents
the driven wheels from spinning
when accelerating.General The TCS makes it much easier, and sometimes at
all possible, to start off, accelerate and
climb a steep hill when th
e conditions of the road
surface are unfavourable.
Operating principle The TCS switches on automatically when th
e engine is started and then conducts a
self-test. The system monitors the speeds of the driven wheels with the aid of the ABS sensors. If the wheels are spinning, the force transmitted to the road surface is auto- matically adapted by reducing the engine speed. The system operates at all speeds. The TCS operates in combination with the ABS
⇒page 167, “Antilock brake system
(ABS)”. The TCS will not function if a fault exists in the ABS system. The TCS warning light lights up in the instru
ment cluster when there is a fault on the
TCS
 ⇒page 34.
During an intervention of the system, the TCS warning light
 flashes quickly in the
instrument cluster
⇒page 34.
Switching off You can switch the TCS off and on again as yo
u wish. On vehicles fitted with ABS, you
can switch off the TCS by pressing the button
⇒fig. 155
, on vehicles fi
tted with ESP*,
you can switch off the TCS wi
th the aid of the button
⇒page 163, fig. 154
. The TCS
warning light
 flashes slowly in the instrument cluster if the system is switched off
⇒ page 34. The TCS should normally always
be switched on. It may be good practice in certain
exceptional cases, such as when you wish to
have wheel slip, to switch off the system.
Examples:•
when driving with snow chains
•
when driving in deep snow or on a loose surface
•
when it is necessary to rock a vehicle when it has become stuck.
Then you should switch on the TCS again. TCS Off-road* After switching on the Off-road mode
⇒page 170, TCS Off-road is activated.
TCS Off-road provides a more effective a
cceleration of the vehicle on an unfirm
ground, as it allows higher traction be
tween the slipping wheels and the ground.
The system operates when starting off or at low speeds.
WARNING
You should always adjust your style of driving to the conditions of the road surface and the traffic situation. The increased safety offered must not tempt you to take greater risks than otherwise - risk of an accident!
Note
•
All four wheels must be fitted with the same tyres in order to achieve problem-free
operation of the TCS. Differing rolling circumferences of the tyres can lead to an unde- sirable reduction in the engine output.•
Changes to vehicle (e.g. on engine, on the brakes, on chassis or another combina-
tion of tyres and wheels) can influence the function of the TCS
⇒page 221, “Accesso-
ries, changes and replacement of parts”.

Caution
•
Never allow the brakes to rub by applying sl
ight pressure if you do not wish to brake
the vehicle. This causes the br
akes to overheat and can also result in a longer braking
distance and excessive wear.•
Before negotiating a steep downhill section, please reduce your speed, shift down
into the next lower gear (manual gearbox)
or select a lower driving stage (automatic
gearbox). This enables you to make full us
e of the braking power of the vehicle and
reduces the strain on the brakes. Any additional braking should be done intermittently, not continuously.
Note
The brake light flashes automatically in case
of an emergency braking at speeds greater
than 60 km/h or with the intervention of the ABS, which lasts longer than 1.5 seconds. After the speed was reduced below 10 km/h or the vehicle was stopped, the brake light stops flashing and the hazard warning light system switches on. The hazard warning light system is switched off automatically
after accelerating
or driving off again.
Brake boosterThe brake booster boosts the pressure which you generate with the brake pedal. The necessary pressure is only genera
ted when the engine is running.
WARNING
•
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary.
•
The brake booster only operates when
the engine is running. Greater phys-
ical effort for braking is required when en
gine is switched off. Because if you do
not stop as normal, this can cause an accident and severe injuries.
Antilock brake system (ABS)ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking.General The ABS contributes significantly to enhanc
ing the active safety of your vehicle.
Compared to a vehicle not fitted with the ABS brake system, you are able to retain optimal steering ability even during a full br
ake application on a slippery road surface
because the wheels do not lock up. You must not expect, however, that the br
aking distance will be shorter under all
circumstances as a result of the ABS. The braking distance for example on gravel and fresh snow, when you should anyway be driv
ing slowly and cautiously, will be longer.
Operating principle The brake pressure will be reduced on a wheel which is rotating at a speed which is too low for the speed of the vehicle and tending
to lock. This control
cycle is noticeable
from a
pulsating movement of the brake pedal
which is accomp
anied by noises.
This is consciously intended to provide the driver with the information that the wheels are tending to lock (ABS control range). You must always keep the brake pedal depressed to enable the ABS to optimally control the brake application in this braking range. Never interrupt the application of the brakes! ABS Off-road* After switching on the Off-road mode
⇒page 170, ABS Off-road is activated.
ABS Off-road increases the braking power of
the vehicle on an unfirm ground, as it
keeps the wheels blocked for a longer period
of time when the brake is applied while
sliding. The system is only available, if the front wheels are in the straight-ahead posi-tion. The system operates at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
WARNING
•
The ABS can also not overcome the physical
limits of your ve
hicle. Please do
not forget this, particularly when driving on icy or wet road surfaces. If the ABS is operating within the control range, adapt your speed immediately to the conditions of the road surface and the traffic situation. The increased safety

Note
The tyre inflation pressure-control system:•
does not replace the regular tyre inflatio
n pressure control, because the system
cannot detect an even pressure loss;•
cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss, e.g. in case of sudden
tyre damage. In this case carefully bring the vehicle to a standstill without sudden steering movements and without sharp braking.•
In order to ensure a proper functioning
of the tyre inflation pressure-control
system, it is necessary to carry out the basic setting again every 10 000 km or 1x a year.Diesel particle filter* (diesel engine)In the diesel particle filter the resu
lting soot particles are collected and
burnt during the combustion of diesel fuel.Code
7GG
, 7MB
or 7MG
on the vehicle data sticker, see
⇒fig. 157
, indicates that your
vehicle is equipped
with a diesel particle filter. The ve
hicle data sticker is located on
the floor of the luggage compartment and is also stated in the Service schedule. The diesel particle filter filters the soot particles completely from the exhaust. The soot is collected in the diesel particle filter and
burnt regularly. To assist this procedure, we
recommend not to drive regu
larly over short distances.
If the diesel particle filter is clogged or there
is a fault, it is indicated by the warning light

.
WARNING
•
The diesel particle filter
achieves very high temp
eratures. Therefore do not
park at points where the hot filter comes into direct contact with dry grass or other combustible materials - risk of fire!•
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection agents
for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters,
diesel particle filter
or heat shields.
When the engine reaches its operating
temperature, these
substances might
ignite - risk of fire.
Note
•
When using diesel fuel with high sulphur cont
ent the life of the diesel particle filter
is clearly reduced. A specialist garage will
be able to tell you which countries use only
diesel fuel with high sulphur content.Off-road*GeneralThe Off-road mode comprises functions which assist off-road driving. The following functions are integrated in the Off-road mode:•

switched off and can be switched on again, if necessary, after switching on the ignition. If the engine is switched off by accident an
d restarted within 30 seconds, the Off-road
mode remains switched on. All four wheels must be fitted with the same tyres in order to achieve proper operation of the Off-road mode. Differing rolling circum
ferences of the tyres can lead to an unde-
sirable reduction in the engine output.
WARNING
•
Always adjust your speed to suit weat
her, road and traffic conditions. The
increased safety must not tempt you to take a greater safety risk than otherwise - risk of accident!•
The Off-road equipment can also not overcome the physical limits of your
vehicle.•
The effect of the Off-road equipm
ent depends as well on the tyres.
•
The Off-road equipment
is not designed for the use on common roads.
Start-Off Assist*The Start-Off Assist enhances the driving comfort and can be used when starting off, in particular on a slope. When the vehicle is stationary, the Start-Off Assist is activated after switching it on using the button for the Off-road mode
⇒page 170, fig. 158
.
Operating principle When depressing the accelerator pedal fully, the engine speed required for the start- up procedure of the stationary vehicle is restricted. The overspeed trip unit is automat-ically deactivated after terminating the start-up procedure. As part of the Assist System, the accelerator pedal is adapted in its characteristics for an easier start-off on slippery and loose soil.Downhill Drive Support*Operating principle The Downhill Drive Support maintains a cons
tant speed on a steep downhill section
when driving forwards and backwards by
automatically intervening in the brake
system of all wheels. It prevents the wheels locking because the ABS remains active. The warning light
 in the information display of the instrument cluster indicates that
the Downhill Drive Support is available
⇒page 38.
The vehicle speed, which is maintained by the Assist System, is selected by the driver while driving on a downhill section as of the
moment the first intervention of the Assist
System is performed or else, while driving on a downhill section, the driver must control the vehicle speed until the Assist System intervenes for the first time. When the Assist System actively intervenes, this is indicated by the warning light flashing or by a pulsating movement of the brake pedal,
similar to the intervention of the ABS.
The Downhill Drive Support is available in the speed range of 2 km/h up to 30 km/h. If the gear is engaged and the clutch pedal is
not pressed, the lower limit of the idling
speed corresponds to the respective gear which is engaged. You can increase or reduce the speed, even when no gear is engaged, by operating the accelerator or brake pedal. Thus the function
is always interrupted and is reactivated
afterwards. The Downhill Drive Support is activated auto
matically if the following conditions are
met:•
the Off-road mode is switched on and the warning light
 lights up in the instru-
ment cluster,•
the engine of the vehicle is running and either the 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear, the reverse
gear or no gear is engaged,•
the speed is less than 30 km/h,

•
Be very alert and look ahead when
driving off-road. Excessive speed or
incorrect driving manoeuvr
es can cause damage to the vehicle and lead to
serious injuries.•
Observe the important guidelines
⇒page 180.
Caution
•
Pay attention to the ground clearance of
the vehicle! The vehicle can be severely
damaged and become disabled once it touches the ground.•
Never drive off-road with an almost empty
fuel tank. The fuel supply to the engine
can be interrupted and therefore the cata
lytic converter can be severely damaged.
•
Do not leave your foot on the clutch peda
l or let the clutch slip when driving off-
road. Overwise you may unintentionally depress the clutch pedal on uneven ground leading to a loss of control over the vehi
cle. In addition, the force for connecting the
engine and the gearbox is lost. Moreover, driving while letting the clutch slip causes a fast wear of the clutch linings.
Note
The fuel consumption is higher when drivin
g off-road than when driving on conven-
tional roads, especially through difficult terr
ain. When you prepare for your journey, be
aware of an increase in fuel consumption; the nearest filling station may be far away.Shifting gears correctlyThe gear you must shift into depends on th
e terrain. Choosing the correct gear contrib-
utes to safe driving. In partic
ular if you do not have much
experience driving off-road,
it is always better, before negotiating a difficult stretch of the road, to pause and reflect on which gear to engage. Your experience will tell you which gear is the best for certain sections of the terrain. Basically:•
When the gear or the driving stage has been
properly selected, it is unnecessary to
slow down the vehicle on a downhill sectio
n using the footbrake as in most cases the
engine braking power is sufficient.
•
Depress the accelerator only as much as is necessary. A too great acceleration may
lead to the wheels spinning and thus result
s in the loss over the control of the vehicle.
Manual gearbox•
If you are driving thro
ugh difficult terrain,
on no account
use the clutch or change
the gear. When the clutch is depressed, th
e vehicle may come to
a standstill because
of the increased grip of all the tyres of the vehicle (e.g. in the mud, in deep sand or on a slope). Once the vehicle has come to a stan
dstill, it may be difficult or even impos-
sible to start off und
er these conditions.
•
When negotiating a steep downhill section
or a steep uphill section, always shift
into the 1st or 2nd gear.•
On a soft or slippery ground, you must
drive at the appropriate speed and you
must select the highest possible gear for this. Automatic gearbox•

the coolant temperature has risen beca
use of an accumulation of heat or
•
the warm engine compartment is heated
up additionally by strong sunlight.
WARNING
You must therefore be aware when workin
g in the engine compartment that the
fan may switch on suddenly - risk of injury!Brake fluidInspecting the brake fluid levelThe brake fluid reservoir is lo
cated on the left of the engine compartment. The brake
fluid reservoir on right-hand steering models is positioned on the other side of the engine compartment. – Switch the engine off.
– Open the bonnet
⇒page 203.
– Inspect the brake fluid level in the reservoir
⇒fig. 174
. The level must be between
the “MIN” and “MAX” markings.
A slight drop in the fluid level results when driving due to normal wear-and-tear and automatic adjustment of the brak
e pads, and is perfectly normal.
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” marking. If the brake fluid level is too low, this
is indicated by the warning light
⇒page 37, “Brake
system
” lighting up in the instru
ment cluster. In this case
stop immediately and do
not drive any further! Obtain
professional assistance.
WARNING
•
Read and observe the warning notes
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine
compartment” before working
in the engine compartment.
•
If the fluid level has dropped below
the MIN marking, do not drive any
further - risk of accident! Obtain professional assistance.Replacing brake fluidBrake fluid absorbs moisture. This causes
the fluid to absorb moisture from the
surrounding air over a period of time. Exce
ssive water in the brake fluid may be the
cause of corrosion in the brake system. The water content also lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid.
This is why brake fluid must be replaced every two years.
One may only use new genuine brake fluid from Škoda Auto. The specification for the brake fluid is “FMVSS 116 DOT 4”. We recommend that you have th
e brake fluid re
placed by an
authorised Škoda
Service Partner
as part of an Inspection Service.
WARNING
Using old brake fluid can result in severe stress on the brakes because of the formation of vapour bubbl
es in the brake system. This greatly impairs the
braking efficiency an
d thus also the safety of your vehicle.

means, for example, that the tyre was ma
nufactured in the 45th week of the year 2009.
Any
spare wheel
which differs from the tyres fitted to the vehicle (e.g. winter tyres or
low-profile tyres) should only be used for a short time in the event of a puncture and when adopting an appropriately cautious styl
e of driving. It should be replaced as
quickly as possible by a normal wheel.
WARNING
•
Only use those tyres or wheel rims
which have been approved for your
model of Škoda Auto vehicle. Failure to observe this instruction will adversely affect the road safety of your vehicle - risk of accident! Approval and licencing of your vehicle on public roads ma
y also become vo
id as a result.
•
You must on no account drive at a high
er speed than is permissible for your
tyres - risk of an accident resulting from tyre damage and loss of control over your vehicle.•
Tyres which are 6 years old or more should only be fitted in exceptional
cases and when adopting an approp
riately cautious style of driving.
•
Never fit tyres which have already b
een used without having adequate
knowledge of their previous history. Tyre
s age even if they have not been used
at all or only very little. A spare tyre must only be used in exceptional cases and only then when adopting an appropriately cautious style of driving.•
Do not, where possible, replace individu
al tyres but at least replace them on
both wheels of a given axle at the same time. Always fit the tyres with the deeper tread depth to the front wheels.
For the sake of the environment
Old tyres must be disposed of in conf
ormity with the appropriate regulations.
Note
It is not normally possible to
fit wheels from other models of cars for technical reasons.
This may also apply
in certain circumstances to the wheels of the same type of
vehicle.
Wheel boltsWheels and
wheel bolts
are matched to each other in terms of design. Each time you
fit other wheels - e.g. light alloy wheels or wheels with winter tyres - you must therefore also use the matching wheel bolts of the corr
ect length and shape of spherical cap. This
is essential to ensure that the wheels are tightly fitted and that the brake system oper- ates properly. If you retrofit
wheel trims
(or have this done), please
also ensure that an adequate
flow of air remains assured for cooling the brake system. The authorised Škoda Service Partners are instructed in the technical possibilities which exist regarding converting or retrofitting tyres, wheels and wheel trims.
WARNING
•
In case of incorrect treatment of the
wheel bolts, the wheel can loosen when
the car is moving - risk of accident!•
The wheel bolts must be clean and must
turn easily. However, they must
never be treated with grease or oil.•
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a
too low tightening torque, the rim can
lossen when the car is moving - risk of accident! A 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 rims.
Caution
The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts for steel and light alloy wheels is 120 Nm.Winter tyresThe handling of your vehicle will be signi
ficantly improved when driving on wintry
roads if you fit winter tyres. Summer tyres do not offer the same grip on ice, snow and at temperatures below 7 °C because of thei
r construction (width, rubber blend, tread
pattern). This particularly applies
to vehicles which
are equipped with
low-profile
tyres
or high-speed tyres
(code index H or V on wall of tyre).

Engine oil specificationsThe grade of engine oil should be se
lected in accordance with precise
specifications.The engine of your vehicle has been factory-
filled with a high-grade oil which you can
use throughout the year - except in extreme climatic regions. You can mix various oils together with each other when refilling with oil. This does not, however, apply for models with flexible service intervals (QG1). Engine oils are, of course, undergoing co
ntinuous further deve
lopment. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is
only correct at the time of publication.
Specialist garages are informed by Škoda
Auto about current changes. We recommend
having this oil change undertaken by a specialist garage. The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated separately or together with other specifications on the bottle. Engine oil specifications for models
with flexible service intervals (QG1)
Engine oil specifications for vehicles with fixed service intervals (QG2)
If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA A2 or ACEA A3 can be used once for refilling. If the oils specified above are not available,
oils according to ACEA B3 or ACEA B4 can
be used once for refilling.
Caution
Only the above-mentioned oils may be used on vehicles with flexible service intervals (QG1). We recommend always refilling with oi
l of the same specification since this will
maintain the properties of the oil. In exce
ptional cases, you must top up only once
engine oil complying with Specification VW 50
2 00 (only for petrol engines) or Specifi-
cation VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) to maximum 0.5 litres. You must not use other engine oils - risk of engine damage!
Note
•
Before a long drive we recommend that
you purchase and carry with you engine
oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. Consequently, you will always have the correct engine oil for refilling.•
We recommend using a preservative from the Škoda original accessories offered
by your Škoda dealer.•
