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 – there is the 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.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you which
countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
■ To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 25.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories, 1 and 2. The
selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 9.
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 calculation 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.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total trip memory collates the data from any number of individual trips up to
a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or a 1999 km distance or, for vehicles with a
MAXI DOT display, 99 hours and 59 minutes, or a 9999 km distance.
The memory is deleted when either 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.

The range indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the level of fuel in the tank and the same style of driving as before.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the information.The range will increase if you drive in a more economical manner.
If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), a fuel consumptionof 10 l./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is updated ac-
cording to the style of driving.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.If you want to measure the distance travelled from a particular moment in time
on, at this moment, reset the memory by setting the button to zero » page 26,
