Speedometer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 10.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h 1)
.
The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below
120 km/h.
67Coolant temperature gaugeFig. 3
Coolant temperature gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 10.
The coolant temperature gauge » Fig. 3 only operates when the ignitions is
switched on.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine has
not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and
high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale. At very high ambient temperatures or heavy en-
gine loads, the pointer may move even further to the right.
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too high. Further information » page 16.
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet im-
pair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.

. If the amount of fuel
reaches the reserve area (the pointer reaches the red scale range), the indicator
symbol is illuminated » page 20 .
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine
and the exhaust system.
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.

If the indicator light begins to flash while driving, a fault exists in the engine
control. The system allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode.
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Engine performance check (petrol engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 14.
If the indicator light lights up, there is a fault in the engine control. The system
allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode.
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Diesel particulate filter (diesel engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 14.
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 filter.
To clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, drive as follows for at
least 15 minutes or until the indicator light
goes out.
4 or 5 Gear engaged (automatic transmission: position S).
Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
Engine speed between 1800-2500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning icon
goes out .
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Diesel particle filter: Owner's manual!
The system allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After switching the ig- nition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up .
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
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.
Fuel reserve
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 14.
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 message is shown in the MAXI DOT display.
Please refuel. Range: ... km
Note
The text in the display goes out only after refuelling and driving a short distance.

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.
