caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan. Check the fuse for the radia-
tor fan, replace if necessary » page 203.
If the indicator light does not go off even though the coolant level is correct
and the fuse for the fan is in working order do not continue driving!

garage.
■ A fault to the ABS system or the braking system can increase the vehicle's
braking distance - risk of accident! ÐThe rear fog light
The warning light comes on when the rear fog lights are operating » page 43.ÐBulb failure
The indicator light comes on if a bulb is faulty:
› within 2 seconds of the ignition being switched on;
› when switching on the defective light bulb.
The following is displayed in the information display: Check front-right dipped beam! ÐExhaust inspection system

The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode.
Seek help from a
ŠKODA specialist garage. ÐGlow plug system
(diesel engine)
The indicator light comes on after the ignition has been switched on. The en-
gine can be started immediately after the pre-glow indicator light goes out.
There is a fault in the glow plug system if the indicator light does not come on

ŠKODA specialist garage. Ð EPC
fault light (petrol engine)
If the indicator light lights up, there is a fault in the engine control. The engine
control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode.
Seek help from a
ŠKODA specialist garage. Ð Diesel particulate filter
(diesel engine)
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a reg-
ular basis.
If the indicator light
lights up, soot has accumulated in the diesel particulate
filter.
To clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even speed of
at least 60 km/h » at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 mi-
nutes or until the indicator light goes out with the 4th or 5th
gear engaged (auto-
matic gearbox: position S) when the traffic situation permits it.
The indicator light only goes out after the diesel particulate filter has been
successfully cleaned.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the indicator light does not go out and the
indicator light begins to flash.
The following is displayed in the information display: Diesel particulate filter Owner's manual!
The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After
switching the ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.

WARNING
■ The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
park in areas where the hot filter can come into direct contact with dry grass
or other combustible materials - risk of fire!
■ Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the indicator light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic. CAUTION
As long as the indicator light lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
engine. Note
■ To assist the combustion process of the soot particles, we recommend that reg-
ularly driving over short distances should be avoided. ■ Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA specialist garage will be able to tell you
which countries use only diesel fuel with high sulphur content. ÐFuel reserve
The indicator light will come on if the fuel level is less than 10.5 litres.
An audible signal sounds as a warning signal.
The following is displayed in the information display: Please refuel! Range ... km Note
The text in the information display goes out only after refuelling and driving a
short distance. ÐAirbag system

› The warning light
lights up for around 4
seconds after switching on the igni-
tion and then flashes approximately another 12 seconds in 2 second intervals.
The following is displayed in the information display: Airbag/belt tensioner deactivated!

› Switched off airbags are indicated in the middle of the dash panel by the indica-
tor light
in the display coming on » page 142. WARNING
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a ŠKODA
specialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident. Ð Tyre control display
The indicator light lights up, if there is a substantial drop in inflation pressure
in one of the tyres. Check and adjust the pressure in all tyres » page 182.
An audible signal sounds as a warning signal.
If the indicator light
lights up, there is a fault in the system.
Seek help from a ŠKODA specialist garage.
Further information » page 186, Tyre control display. Note
