WARNING
•
If you do not pay attention to the warning lights coming on and the corre- 
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body inju- ries or major vehicle damage.•
The engine compartment of your car is  
a hazardous area. There is a risk of  
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire wh 
en working in the engine compartment,  
e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and  
other fluids. It is also essential to  
observe all warnings  
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine compartment”.
Note
•
The arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model version. The  
symbols shown in the following functional  
description are to be
 found as indicator  
lights in the instrument cluster.•
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 -  
danger) or yellow symbol 
s (priority 2 - warning).

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:•

Technical Data
Underbody protectionThe underside of your vehicle is protected for life against chemical and mechanical  influences. One cannot, however, complete 
ly rule out damage to the 
protective layer
 when  
driving so we recommend that you inspect the protective layer on the underside of  your vehicle and on the  
chassis at certain intervals - this is best done at the beginning  
and end of the winter - and to touch up any damaged areas. The authorised Škoda Service Partners have suitable  
spray products
 available as well  
as the necessary equipment and are familiar with the instructions for use. It is therefore  best to have such touch-up  
work or additional corrosion 
protection measures carried  
out by an authorised Škoda Service Partner.
WARNING
Never use additional underbody protection or corrosion-protection agents for the exhaust pipes, catalytic converters, di 
esel particle filter or heat shields.  
When the engine reaches its operating  
temperature, these substances might  
ignite - risk of fire!Protection of hollow spacesAll the cavities of your vehicle which are at risk from corrosion are protected for life by  a layer of  
protective wax
 applied in the factory. 
This wax protection does not require to be inspected or re-treated. Please remove any  small amount of wax which flows out of the cavities at high temperatures with a plastic  scraper and clean the spot using petroleum cleaner.
WARNING
Safety and environmental pr 
otection regulations should observed when using  
petroleum cleaner to remove wax - a risk of fire!
Engine compartmentGood corrosion protection is very importan 
t, particularly in winter when one often  
drives over its salt-strewn roads. One should therefore clean the whole engine compartment before and after the salt spread 
ing period and treat with preservative in  
order to prevent the salt from being destructive. The authorised Škoda Service Partners have the cleaning agents and preservatives  recommended by the manufacturer and also the required equipment.
WARNING
•
It is necessary to observ 
e the guidelines given in the chapter before working  
on the engine compartment  
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine compart- 
ment”.•
Let the engine cool down before cleaning the engine compartment.Caution
•
Engine cleaning may be only be un 
dertaken when the ignition is off.
•
It is recommended to cover the generator before washing the engine compart- 
ment.
For the sake of the environment
The dirty water produced by washing the engine has washed away petrol, and residues of grease and oil and should therefore be  
cleaned by an oil separator. This is why  
engine washing should only be undertaken in  
a specialist garage or at a fueling station  
(when these are fitted with the required equipment).Care of the interior of vehiclePlastic parts, artificial leather and clothsYou can clean plastic parts and artificial le 
ather with a moist cloth. You should only  
treat such parts with special  
solvent-free plastic cleaning and care products
 it does  
prove to be adequate.

Fuel
200
FuelPetrolGrades of petrolThere are various grades of petrol. Please read 
⇒page 243, “Technical Data” in order  
to know which grade of petrol your vehicle  
requires. You will also find the same infor- 
mation affixed to the inside of th 
e fuel filler flap of your vehicle 
⇒page 201, fig. 168
. 
A distinction is made between unleaded and  
leaded petrol. All Škoda vehicles with  
petrol engines are equipped wi 
th a catalytic converter and must therefore be only  
driven with  
unleaded petrol
. Unleaded petrol complies with the 
standard EN 228
. 
The individual grades of petr 
ol are distinguished by their 
octane number
 (RON).  
Please adopt the following procedure if the grade of petrol which you normally use is  not be available in exceptional circumstances. Engines which need  
unleaded premium petrol 95 RON
 can also be run on unleaded  
regular petrol 91 RON. This does, however, 
 result in a slight loss in performance. 
If, in an emergency, the only fuel availa 
ble is one which has a lower octane number  
than that required by the engine then only drive at medium engine speeds and lower  engine loadings. You can make unlimited use of fuel whic 
h has a higher octane number than that  
required by the engine. There will, however, be no advantages gained by this in terms of engine performance and fuel consumption! The handling, performance and life of your 
 engine are determined to a significant  
extent by the quality of the fuel. Do not use any petrol additives.  
Use fuel which  
complies with the standard EN 228 
. 
You can find further information on refuelling  
⇒page 201, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Filling the tank even only once with le
aded petrol will resu
lt in the catalytic  
converter being destroyed.•
Operating the engine with petrol of a low octane number can result in engine  
damage at high revolutions or severe engine loading.
DieselDiesel fuelYour vehicle can be operated with  
diesel fuel
, which complies with the standard  
EN 590 
. 
Fuel additives You must not use fuel additives, so-called “flow improvers” (petrol and similar prod- ucts) in diesel fuel. If the quality of the diesel fuel is poor, it is then necessary to drain the  
fuel filter
 more  
often than stated in the Service schedule. You can find information on refuelling  
⇒page 201, “Refuelling”.
Caution
•
Only use fuel which complies with the standard 
EN 590
. Filling the tank even only  
once, which does not comply with the stan 
dard, can result in damage to the fuel  
system.•
Water which has collected in the fuel filter can result in engine problems.
•
Your vehicle is not adapted for use of biodie 
sel, therefore this fuel must not be refu- 
elled and driven. Using this biodiesel can lead to damage to the engine or the fuel  system.Operation in winterWinter-grade diesel fuel A different grade of diesel fuel is available at filling stations in winter than during the  summer. Using “summer-grade diesel fuel” at temperatures below 0°C can result in operational problems because the diesel beco 
mes viscous as a result of paraffin sepa- 
ration.

Technical Data 
It is therefore the case that EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for certain periods of the  year which can also be purchased at the co 
rresponding time during the year. “Winter- 
grade diesel fuel” will still operate properly even at a temperature of -20°C. It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels avail- able have a different temperature characte 
ristic. The authorised Škoda Service Part- 
ners and filling stations in the country concer 
ned will be able to provide you with infor- 
mation regarding the diesel fuels available. Prewarming fuel The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of a  vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel  
additives on the market, including petrol, to  
diesel fuel in order to im 
prove its flow properties.

Opening the fuel filler cap– Press in the middle of the left area of 
the fuel filler flap in direction of arrow    
⇒ fig. 168
. 
– The fuel filler cap on the fuel filler tube 
 must be unlocked to the left using the  
vehicle key (only valid for vehicles which  
do not have automatic unlocking of the  
fuel filler flap). 
– Unscrew the fuel filler ca 
p anti-clockwise and place the fuel filler cap from above  
on the fuel filler flap  
⇒fig. 168
 on the right.
Closing fuel filler cap– Screw on the cap by turning it to the right until it is heard to lock. – The fuel filler cap on the fuel filler tube  
must be locked to the right using the vehicle  
key (only valid for vehicles which do not  
have automatic locking of the fuel filler  
flap). 
– Close the fuel filler flap until it locks. The correct grade of fuel for your vehicle as well as the tyre size and inflation pressures  are stated on a sticker affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. Further information on fuel  
⇒page 200. 
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres.
WARNING
Pay attention to any legal requirements if 
 you do carry a spare canister in the  
vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for  safety reasons. The canister can be damaged 
 in the event of an accident and fuel  
may leak out.
Caution
•
Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxiliary  
heating and ventilation) *.•
Remove any fuel which has spilled onto th 
e paintwork of your vehicle immediately  
- risk of paint damage!•
On vehicles fitted with a ca 
talytic converter, never let the fuel tank run completely  
empty. An irregular supply of fuel to the engine can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel  may get into the exhaust system, which may result in overheating and damage to the  catalytic converter.

Fuse cover in engine compartment The fuse box in the engine compartment exists in two different versions.  You can determine which version your vehicle is fitted with after removing the fuse cover at  
the location of the fuses.
On some vehicles, the battery cover must be removed before removing the fuse cover  ⇒ page 210.Removing fuse cover– Move the circlips   
⇒fig. 193
 as far as the stop, the symbol 
 appears behind the  
circlip and remove the cover.
Installing fuse cover– Position the fuse cover on the fuse box and  
push the circlips   as far as the stop -  
the symbol 
 is visible behind the circlip.
Caution
•
When unlocking and locking the fuse cover, it must be pressed on the sides to the 
box, otherwise damage can occur to the locking mechanism.•
Carefully position the fuse  
cover in the engine compartment. If the cover was not  
correctly positioned, water can get into the  
fuses and this results in a damage to the  
vehicle!
