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

Inspecting and replenishing
206
Oil level within range –You
must
top up the oil
⇒page 206. It is sufficient, once this is done, to keep the
oil level within range .
It is normal for the engine to consume oil.
The oil consumption may be as much as 0.5
l/1 000 km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which you operate your vehicle. The oil
consumption may be slightly hi
gher than this during the
first 5 000 kilometres. One should therefore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably every time after the fuel tank is filled or after driving for long stretches. We recommend maintaining the oil level within the range -
but not above this
, if
the engine has been operating at high load
s, for example during a lengthy motorway
trip during the summer months, towing a tr
ailer or negotiating
a high mountain pass.
The warning light in the instrument cluster* will indicate
⇒page 33, “Engine oil pres-
sure
” whether the oil level is too low. In this case, check the oil level as soon as
possible. Top up with an appropriate quantity of oil.
Caution
•
The oil level must on no account extend
beyond the range . Danger of damaging
the catalytic converter.•
Do not continue your journey
if for some reason it is not possible under the
conditions prevailing to top up with oil.
Switch the engine off
and obtain professional
assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe engine damage.
Note
Engine oil specifications
⇒page 243, “Technical Data”.
Replenishing engine oil– Inspecting the engine oil level
⇒page 205.
– Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening. – Pour in a suitable grade of oil in portions of 0.5 litres
⇒page 246, “Engine oil spec-
ifications”.
– Inspect the oil level
⇒page 205.
– Carefully screw on the cap of the filler opening and push the dipstick in fully.
WARNING
•
Avoid dripping oil onto hot parts of the engine when topping up will oil - a
risk of fire!•
Read and observe the warning notes
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine
compartment” before working in the engine compartment.
For the sake of the environment
The oil level must on no acco
unt extend beyond the range
⇒page 205. Oil will
otherwise be drawn in through the crankc
ase ventilation and may pass through the
exhaust system to atmosphere. The oil ma
y combust in the cata
lytic converter and
damage it.Changing engine oilThe engine oil must be changed at the intervals stated in the Service schedule or according to the service interval indicator
⇒page 18, “Service Interval Display”.
WARNING
•
Only carry out the engine oil change, if you have the required professional
knowledge!•
Read and observe the warning notes
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine
compartment” before working in the engine compartment.•
First of all, let the engine cool down, we
ar an eye protection and gloves - risk
of caustic burns due to hot oil.
Caution
You must not pour any
additives into the engine oil - risk of engine damage! Damage,
which results from such product, are excluded from the warranty.

Inspecting and replenishing

•
Replacement batteries with two-tone indi
cator, which were obtained from Škoda
original accessories, are marked with the code
000 915 105 Dx
, whereby “x” stands for
a variable. The exact marking can be e.g.
000 915 105 DB
.
Battery with a three-tone indicatorAn indicator for the electrolyte level and
the charge state, the so-called magic eye
⇒ page 211, fig. 176
, is located on the top of the ba
ttery. The indicator changes its
colour in line with the charge state of
and the electrolyte level in the battery.
Air bubbles can influence the colour of the in
dicator. For this reason carefully knock on
the indicator before carrying out the check.•
Green colour - the battery is adequately charged.
•
Dark colour - the battery has to be charged.
•
Colourless or yellow colour - electrolyte level too low, the battery must be
replaced. Batteries, which are more than 5 years old, must be replaced. We recommend you have the battery checked or replaced by a specialist garage.
Caution
If the vehicle has not been driven for more
than 3 to 4 weeks, the battery will discharge
because certain electrical components consum
e electricity (e.g. control units) also in
idle state. You can prevent the discharging of
the battery by disconnecting the negative
terminal or charging the battery constantly
with a very low charging current. Please
also refer to the notes wh
en working on the battery
⇒
in “Working on the battery”
on page 210.
Note
•
Batteries with three-tone indicator, which are mounted as of factory, are marked
with a code which always begins with
1J0
, 7N0
or 3B0
. The exact marking can be e.g.
1J0 915 105 AC
.
•
Replacement batteries with three-tone indi
cator, which were obtained from Škoda
original accessories, are marked with the code
000 915 105 Ax
, whereby “x” stands for
a variable. The exact marking can be e.g.
000 915 105 AB
.
Inspecting the electrolyte levelThe battery is practically
maintenance-free
under normal operating conditions. We
do, however, recommend that you have the electrolyte level inspected from time to time by a specialist garage when outside temperatures are high or when driving on long trips. You should also have the electrolyte level
⇒page 212 checked each time
the battery is charged. The electrolyte level of the battery will al
so be checked as part of the Inspection
Service.Operation in winterThe battery has to provide greater amounts of
electricity during the
winter. It also has
only part of the initial power output at low temperatures that it has at normal temper- atures. A discharged battery may already freez
e at temperatures
just below 0°C.
We therefore recommend that you have the
battery checked by a specialist garage
before the start of the winter and recharged if necessary.
WARNING
Never charge a frozen or thawed battery - risk of explosion and caustic burns. Replace a frozen battery.Charging the battery A properly charged battery is essential for reliably starting the engine.– Read the warning notes
⇒
in “Working on the battery” on page 210 and
⇒
.
– Switch the ignition and all electrical components off. – Only for “quick-charging”: Disconnect both
battery cables (first of all “negative”,
then “positive”).
– Carefully attach the terminal clamps of

Technical Data
– You can now plug the mains cable of the
charger into the power socket and switch
on the charger.
– When charging is completed: switch th
e charger off and unplug the mains cable
from the power socket.
– Only then should you disconnect the terminal clamps of the charger.– Reconnect the cables to the battery (first of all “positive”, then “negative”). It is not normally necessary to disconnect th
e cables of the battery if you recharge the
battery using low amperages (as for example from a
mini-charger
). Please also refer
to the instructions from the charger manufacturer. A charging current of 0.1 of the total battery
capacity (or lower) is that which should be
used until full charging is achieved. It is, however, necessary to disconnect both
cables before charging the battery with
high amperages, so-called “
quick-charging
”.
“Quick-charging” a battery is
dangerous
⇒
in “Working on the battery” on
page 210. It requires a special charger and appropriate knowledge. We therefore recommend that you have your battery qu
ick-charged only by your Škoda Service
Par tner. A discharged battery may already
freeze
at temperatures just below 0°C
⇒
. We
recommend that you no longer use a batter
y which has thawed out because the casing
of the battery may be cracked through th
e formation of ice and this would allow
battery electrolyte to flow out. The vent plugs of the battery should not be opened for charging.
WARNING
Never charge a frozen or thawed battery
- risk of explosion and caustic burns.
Replace a frozen battery.•
Never charge a battery which has a too
low electrolyte leve
l - risk of explo-
sion and caustic burns.
Disconnecting and reconnecting the batteryOn disconnecting and reconnecting the battery the following functions are initially deactivated or are no longer able to operate fault-free. We recommend having the vehicle checked by
a specialist garage to ensure full func-
tionality of all electrical systems.Replacing the batteryYou should only replace a battery with a ne
w battery of the same
capacity, voltage (12
V), amperage and of the same size. Specialist garages have a range of suitable batteries available.
For the sake of the environment
•
Batteries contain poisonous substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must
be disposed of in accordance with local
environmental protection regulations and on
no account as domestic waste.•
In view of the problems involved with
its proper disposal, we recommend having
the battery replaced by a specialist garage.Operation
