nute.
The beginning of the tachometer red scale range indicates the maximum per-
mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D / S on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 39.
CAUTION
The rev counter pointer may only move into the red area for a short time - oth-
erwise there is a risk of engine damage!45671)

indicated in km/h on the display.
Information overview
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment fitted).
Exterior temperature - For vehicles with a MAXI DOT display this information
is always shown.
Driving time - driving time since last clearing the memory.
Current fuel consumption - when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,
the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-
lowing appears --,- km/l).
Average fuel consumption - is calculated continuously since the last clearing
of the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300
m driven.
Range - drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-
pacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more efficiently this value
can increase.
AdBlue ®
range - drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing
AdBlue ®
tank capacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more effi-
ciently this value can increase.
Distance driven - distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Average speed - value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing
the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m
driven.
Current Speed - digital speedometer.
Oil temperature - if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the
symbols are displayed.
Warning when the preset speed is exceeded - allows the setting of a speed
limit where, if exceeded, an acoustic warning signal and a warning message
appears on the display of the instrument cluster.
Warning when exceeding the set speed
The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic
warning signal will sound and the following warning message (MAXI DOT Dis-
play) and the symbol appears in the display of the instrument cluster.

Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather conditions.
Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corresponds
to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of dam-
age to the engine and to the exhaust system.■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition!
■
The biofuel RME must not be used!
CAUTION
Diesel fuel additives■The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the
conditions for a smooth running engine. Therefore, we recommend that you do
not add any fuel additives to the diesel - there is a risk of engine damage or
damage to the exhaust system.
AdBlue ®
And its refilling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Check level
141
AdBlue ®
refill
142
In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue ®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
Only use AdBlue ®
that corresponds to the standard ISO 22241-1. Do not add
additives to AdBlue ®
.
The AdBlue ®
consumption is approx. 1.2 l - 1.6 l/1000 km, depending on driving
style, the operating temperature of the system and on the weather conditions.
AdBlue ®
-tank filling level is about 8.5 litres.
WARNINGAdBlue®
can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. If your eyes or skin
come into contact with the AdBlue ®
fluid, immediately wash the affected
area for a few minutes with a lot of water. If necessary get medical assis-
tance.
CAUTION
AdBlue ®
attacks the surface of some materials (e.g. as painted parts, plastics,
fabrics). Clean the areas affected with AdBlue ®
using a damp cloth and plenty
of cold water. Remove any dried AdBlue ®
with warm water and a sponge.
Note
■ The AdBlue ®
solution freezes at a temperature of -11 °C and below. The sys-
tem has a heater to ensure the operability at low temperatures.■
We recommend purchasing AdBlue ®
refill bottles from the ŠKODA original
parts.
■
The working life of the AdBlue ®
solution is 4 years. After this time, the solu-
tion must be replaced by a specialist garage.
■
AdBlue ®
is a registered trademark of the VDA. AdBlue ®
is also known as AUS
32 (Aqueous Urea Solution) or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
Check level
Read and observe
and on page 141 first.
The filler neck of AdBlue ®
Tank is located in the luggage compartment under
the symbol and the cap marked with the lettering “AdBlue ®
” » Fig. 156 on
page 142 .
The AdBlue ®
level is automatically monitored.
If the available travel distance that can be completed with the remaining AdBl- ue ®
tank capacity drops to about 2400 km, the warning appears on the in-
strument cluster and a request for replenishment of AdBlue ®
appears.
An indication also appears in the instrument cluster showing the maximum
and minimum AdBlue ®
tank capacity.
If the available travel distance that can be driven with the existing AdBlue ®
tank capacity drops down to 0 km, then no motor start is possible.
The distance which can still be driven with the remaining AdBlue ®
, can be de-
termined using the travel data » page 30.

to be refilled by a specialized workshop. If necessary,
it can refill itself using a refill.
We recommend when refilling using refill bottles that you use refill bottles
from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
When adding AdBlue ®
take note of the minimum and maximum AdBlue ®
tank
capacity shown in the display of the instrument cluster » page 30.
