Engine revolutions counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The red scale of the rev counter 1
» Fig. 2 on page 8 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.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolution
counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is fitted
with an automatic gearbox.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 11. For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to lower fuel consumption, minimises
operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life
and reliability of the engine. ÐSpeedometer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h.
The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below
this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries. Ð
ä
ä Coolant temperature gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The coolant temperature gauge 4
» Fig. 2 on page 8 operates only when the ig-
nition is switched on.
The following guidelines regarding the temperature ranges must be observed to
avoid any damage to the engine.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high
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, for a normal style of driving. The pointer may also
move further to the right at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air in-
let impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine
overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads »

CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! An irregular supply of fuel can
lead to irregular engine running. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system
and damage the catalytic converter. Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gauge
displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault. ÐCounter for distance driven
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measuring unit (mph) is used.
Daily trip counter (trip)
The daily trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since it was
last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.

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 in the instrument cluster display.
We recommend that this reset is completed by a
ŠKODA specialist garage.
The ŠKODA specialist garage: › Resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection
› Adds an entry to the Service Schedule
› Affixes the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of
the dashboard on the driver's side
Reset the service interval display by using the reset button 7
»
Fig. 2 on page 8.
On vehicles which are equipped with the information display, you can reset the
Service Interval Display in the menu Settings » page 16.CAUTION
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself as this
can result in the incorrect setting of the Service Interval Display, which can also
cause possible problems with the operation of your vehicle. Note
■ Never reset the display between service intervals, as this will result in the incor-
rect display. ■ Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle bat-
tery 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 ŠKODA specialist garage. ■ After resetting the display with flexible service intervals, the displayed data is
the same as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals. We therefore recom-
mend that the Service Interval Display is only reset by a
ŠKODA Service Partner,
who will reset the display with a vehicle system tester. ■ For more information on the service intervals » Service Plan. Ð Digital clock

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Memory 12
Operation 13
Multifunction display details 13
Warning against excessive speeds 14
The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition.
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display » Fig. 5
on page 12 or in the
information display » page 15 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehi-
cle.
On vehicles with an information display, there is an option to fade out some of
the information. WARNING
■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
■ Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature dis-
play that there is no ice on the road. Even at temperatures around +4 °C, black
ice may still be on the road surface – warning, drive with care! CAUTION
Pull out the ignition key if coming in contact with the display (e.g. when cleaning)
to prevent any possible damage. Note
■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures. ■ If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is not
indicated in km/h on the display.
■ The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated. Ð Memory
Fig. 5
Multifunction display
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 12.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The selected
memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 5.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the dis-
play. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance mem-
ory (memory
2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13
on the windscreen wiper lever or with the help of the adjustment wheel D
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the multifunction steering wheel.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased. £
ä
12 Using the system
Page 15 of 225
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to
a total of 19
hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi-
cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and
59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei-
ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period
of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected. ÐOperation
