The “START-STOP” system helps you to save fuel while at the same time reducing
harmful exhaust emissions and CO
2 emissions.
The function is automatically activated ea ch time the ignition is switched on.
In the start-stop mode, the engine automatica lly switches to the vehicle's idle phase,
e.g. when stopped at traffic lights.
Information regarding the current state of the “START-STOP” system is indicated in the
display of the instrument cluster.
Automatic engine shut down (stop phase)– Stop the vehicle (where necessary, apply the handbrake).
– Take the vehicle out of gear.
– Take your foot off the clutch.Automatic engine restart (start phase).– Push down on the clutch.Switching the “START-STOP” system on and offYou can switch the “START STOP” syst em on/off by pressing the button fig. 3 .
When start-stop mode is deactivated, th e warning light in the button lights up.
If the vehicle is in the stop phase when manually switching off the system, the engine
starts automatically.
The “START-STOP” system is very complex. Some of the procedures are hard to check
without servicing. The general conditions for the proper functioning of the “START-
STOP” system are listed in the following overview.

•
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal tempera-
ture of the vehicle battery even after severa l hours. If the vehicle remains outdoors for
a long time in minus temperatures or in dire ct sunlight, it can take several hours until
the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for
proper operation of the “START STOP” system.
•
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the igni-
tion key (e.g. when the seat belt is not inserted or the driver's door is opened for more
than 30 seconds). Follow the messages in the display of the instrument cluster.

Grades of petrolPrescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you can refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, conti nue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead
to serious engine damage! Refuel with petr ol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emer-
gency. Otherwise you can ca use serious engine damage!RefuellingThe air relief valve in the filler tube of the fuel tank not part of the equipment installed
in the vehicle.

Tyre repair kit*7
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
The repair with the tyre repair kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent repair
on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Do not use the tyre repair kit:•
to repair wheel damage,
•
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
•
with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
•
to repair damage to the tyre wall,
•
when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
•
if the use-by-date (see infl ation bottle) has passed.
WARNING
•
If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the prescribed
distance from your vehicle. Comply with the national legal regulations. In this
way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.
•
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat
and firm a surface as possible.
•
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, (50 mph).
•
Avoid accelerating at full throttle , sharp braking and fast cornering.
•
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes.
•
Sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.For the sake of the environment
Used or aged sealing agent must be dispos ed of in accordance with environmental
protection regulations.
Note
•
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the tyre repair kit.
•
You can purchase a new bottle of sealan t from the range of the Škoda original
accessories.

Tyre repair kit*
8 Tyre inflator bottle with sealing agent
Replacement valve core
The valve remover has a slot at its lower end which fits into the valve core. This is
the only way in which you can remove and re-i nstall the valve core from the tyre valve.
The same also applies to the replacement valve core .
Preparing to use the tyre repair kitBefore using the tyre repair kit, carry out the following preparatory work:
– Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat and firm a surface as possible.
–Have all the occupants get out. While changing a wheel, the occupants of the
vehicle should not stand on the road (instead of behind a crash barrier).
– Switch off the engine and engage 1st gear or if your vehicle is fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox, position the selector lever into position P .
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Check whether you can carry out the repairs with the tyre repair kit page 6,
“General information”.
– If a trailer is coupled, uncouple it.
– Remove the tyre repair kit from the luggage compartment.
– Stick the sticker page 7, fig. 7 on the dash panel in view of the driver.
– Do not remove the foreign body, e.g. screw or nail, from the tyre.
– Unscrew the valve cap.
– Use the valve remover to remove the va lve core and place it down on a clean
surface.Seal and inflate tyresSealing tyres– Forcefully shake the tyre inflator bottle page 7, fig. 7 several times. – Firmly screw inflation hose onto the tyre inflator bottle in a clockwise direction
. The film on the cap is pierced automatically.
– Remove the plug from the inflation hose and plug the open end fully into the tyre valve.
– Hold the bottle with the floor facing upwards and fill the whole sealing agent in the tyre inflator bottle into the tyres.
– Remove the empty tyre inflator bottle from the valve.
– Screw the valve core back into the tyre valve using the valve remover .
Pumping up the tyres– Screw the tyre inflation hose page 7, fig. 7 of the air compressor firmly onto
the tyre valve.
– Check whether the air re lease valve is closed.
– Start the engine and run it in idle.
– Plug the cable connector into the 12 Vo lt socket in the vehicle, see Owner's
manual.
– Switch on the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch .
– Allow the air compressor to run until reac hing a pressure of 2.0 - 2.5 bars for a
maximum of 8 minutes !
– Switch off the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch.
– If you cannot reach an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, unscrew the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.
– Drive the vehicle 10 metres forwards or backwards to allow the sealing agent to
distribute in the tyre.
– Screw the tyre inflation hose of the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre
valve and repeat the inflation procedure.
– If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the break-
down kit .
– Switch off the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch.
– Remove the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.

Tow-starting and towing vehicle9
If you reached a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, resume driving at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes page 9, “Check after
driving for 10 minutes”.
WARNING
•
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot-
risk of injury!
•
Do not place hot tyre inflation hoses or hot air compressors on flammable
materials - risk of fire!
•
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage
sustained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. Do
not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance.Caution
Switch off the air compressor after running 8 minutes at the latest - danger of over-
heating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few moments before switching it on
again.Check after driving for 10 minutesCheck the tyre inflation pressu re after driving 10 minutes.If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:–Do not drive the vehicle! You cannot properly seal wi th tyre with the breakdown
kit.
– Obtain professional assistance.If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:– Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the corr ect value (see inside of fuel filler cap).
– Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
