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.

The following will be displayed in the information display* for 10 seconds:
Service in ... km or... days
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
⇒page 16 on the trip
counter. On vehicles which are equipped
with information display*, you can call up this infor-
mation in the following menu on
⇒page 24:

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.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights
24Information display*IntroductionThe information display provides you with information in a convenient way concerning the
current operating state of your vehicle
. The information system also
provides you with data (depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle) relating to the radio, mobile phone, multi-function
al indicator, naviga
tion system, the unit
connected to the MDI input and the automatic gearbox. Certain functions and operating conditions
are always being checked on the vehicle
when the ignition is switched on and also while driving. Functional faults, if required
repair work and other information are indicated by red
symbols
⇒page 26 and yellow symbols
⇒page 27.
Lighting up of certain symbols is combined with an acoustic warning signal.Information and texts giving warnings
are also shown in the display
⇒page 29.
The display of text is possible in the following languages:
Czech, English, German, French, Italian,
