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 limit 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 running 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 33, “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.

4) when the ignition is switched on.
The coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too low if the warning light
does not go out or flashes while driving.
3 peeps sound as an additional warning signal.
In this case stop and switch the engine off and check the coolant level; top up the
coolant as necessary.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the condi-
tions prevailing to top up with coolant. Keep the engine switched off and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe
engine damage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be caused
by an operating problem at th e coolant fan. Check the fuse for the coolant fan, replace
it if necessary page 234, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment”.
Do not continue driving if the warning light does not go off although the fluid is at the
correct level and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order. Contact a specialist garage
to obtain assistance.
Please refer to the following guidelines page 207, “Cooling system”.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
Check coolant! Owner's manual!
WARNING
If you must stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic and switch of f the engine and switch on the hazard
warning light system page 58.
Take care when opening the coolant expa nsion bottle. If the engine is hot,
the cooling system is pressurized - risk of scalding! It is best to allow the engine
to cool down before removing the cap.
Do not touch the coolant fan The coolant fan may switch on automatically
even if the ignition is off.
Traction control system (TCS)
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The warning light flashes when a control cycle is activated while driving.
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the TCS system.
The fact that the TCS system operates together with the ABS means that the TCS
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light comes on immediately after starting the engine, the TCS system
can be switched off for techni cal reasons. In this case, the TCS system can be switched
on again by switching the igni tion on and off. If the warning light goes out, the TCS
system is fully functional again.
Further information about the TCS page 165, “Traction control system (TCS)”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
comes on
after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short
distance.

misting up.
Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description
The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating, fresh
air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occu-
pants of the car.The Climatronic maintains fu lly automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temper ature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which elim-
inates the need to alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode page 103
ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all times of the year.
Description of Climatronic system
The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:
engine running,
outside temperature above approx. +2°C,
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine.
Recommended setting for all periods of the year:
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22°C.
Press the button fig. 103 .
Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 page 96, fig. 99 , so that the air flow is directed
slightly upwards.Note
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio* or navigation*, the information
of the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can be switched off, see

The temperature control is controlled automatically. More air flows out of the air outlet
vents 1 and 2.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)*Description and important information
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary he ating and ventilation) heats or
supplies the interior of the vehicl e with fresh air independent of the
engine.Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the Climatic or
Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when engi ne is switched off for preheating of the
vehicle as well as while driving (only during the heating phase of the engine).
The engine is also preheated when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is switched
off, if the auxiliary heating is switched on.
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) wa rms up the coolant during the combustion
of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed
is not set to zero) flows into the occupant compartment.
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by switching
off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with the
vehicle parked in the sun).

106WARNING
The auxiliary heating must never be op erated in closed rooms - risk of
poisoning!
The auxiliary heating must not be runn ing during refueling - risk of fire.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of the
vehicle. Therefore do not place the vehicl e, if you wish to operate the auxiliary
heating, in such a way that the exhaust gases of the auxiliary heating can come
easily into contact with inflammable materi als (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflam-
mable substances (e.g. fuel run out).Note
If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel co nsumption comes from the vehicle tank. The
auxiliary heating automatically controls the filling level in the fuel tank. If only a low
quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the function of the auxiliary heating is
blocked.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of the
vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If
the auxiliary heating and ventilation has be en operated several times over a longer
period, the vehicle must be driven a few ki lometers in order to recharge the vehicle
battery.
The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in the
area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short period.
The auxiliary heating and ventilation does no t switch on or comes on, if the vehicle
battery indicates a low loading state.
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition: Please refuel!
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
So that warm air can flow in to the vehicle after switching on the auxiliary heating,
you must maintain the temperature normally selected by you (we recommend 22 °C
for Climatic, Climatronic and for the heat ing turn the regulator to the right
page 97, fig. 101 ). It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
.
On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filt er) the warm coolant heats up the engine.
Direct switching on/offThe auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and vent ilation) can be switched on or off at any
time directly using the button on the operating part of the Climatic, Climatronic or
heating fig. 104 .
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is not switched off earlier, it switches off auto-
matically after the expiration of the set operating period, in the menu Running time.
Note
A radio remote control for the auxiliary heating can be obtained from Škoda original
accessories.
