Vehicle condition
Certain functions and conditions of individual vehicle systems are checked
continuously when the ignition is switched on. If there is a system failure, the
relevant message is displayed in the MAXI DOTDisplay, in conjunction with in-
dicator lights, if necessary, indicator light illumination takes place in the instru-
ment cluster » page 31, Warning lights .

The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test. If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go
out a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
The warning lights are located at the following positions in the instrument
cluster » Fig. 17 on page 28 .
▶ Engine revolutions counter

5WARNING■ Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury
or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning light system » page 61. Place the warning triangle at the prescri-
bed distance.

flashes for 1 minute while driving or after the ignition is switched on - there
is a fault in the xenon headlights (AFS).
The MAXI DOT display shows the following.
Note
With the Xenon headlight “tourist light” (travel mode) activated, the warning
light flashes after switching on the ignition for 10 seconds.34Using the system

makes it possible to drive on in emergency mode - there may be a noticeable
reduction in engine performance.
▶ Continued driving is possible with appropriate caution. Seek assistance from
a specialist garage immediately.
Preheating unit (diesel)
Read and observe
on page 31 first.
The warning light comes on after the ignition has been switched on. Once
the light has gone out, the engine can be started immediately. There is a fault
in the glow plug system if the warning light does not come on or illuminates
continuously.

reduction in engine performance.
▶ Continued driving is possible with appropriate caution. Seek assistance from
a specialist garage immediately.
Diesel particle filter (diesel)
Read and observe
on page 31 first.
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
regular basis.
illuminates – the filter is clogged with soot.
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 gearbox: S position).
Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
Engine speed between 1800-2500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning light extinguishes.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light does not go out and
the warning light begins to flash.
▶ Continued driving is possible with appropriate caution. Seek assistance from
a specialist garage immediately.
WARNING■ Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or the like.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and 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
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.35Instruments and Indicator Lights
Page 38 of 200
Fuel reserveRead and observe
on page 31 first.
illuminates – the fuel level in the fuel tank is at the reserve level (approxi-
mately 9 litres).
An audible signal sounds as a warning. ▶ Please refuel » page 139.
Note
The text in the display goes out after refuelling and driving a short distance.
Airbag system
Read and observe
on page 31 first.
System fault
lights up - there is a fault in the airbag system.
Error: Airbag
▶
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The front passenger airbag has been disabled with the key switch
illuminates for around 4 seconds after the ignition has been switched on.
One of the airbags or a belt tensioner has been disabled by the diagnostic
tool
illuminates for around 4 seconds after the ignition is switched on and then
flashes for approximately 12 seconds.
Airbag / belt tensioner deactivated.WARNINGWhen a fault in the airbag system occurs, there is a risk of the system not
being triggered in the event of an accident. Therefore, this must be
checked immediately by a specialized garage.
Tyre pressure
Read and observe
on page 31 first.
Change of tyre pressure values
lights up - there was a pressure change in one of the tyres.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
▶ Immediately reduce speed and avoid sudden steering and braking manoeu-
vres.
▶ Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and check the tyres and their inflation
pressures » page 151.
▶ Correct the tyre pressure, if necessary or replace the affected wheel
» page 155 or use the repair kit » page 159.
▶ Save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 123.
System fault
flashes for approximately 1 minute and remains lit – there may be a fault in
the tyre pressure monitoring system.
▶ Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and start the engine again.
If the warning light flashes again after the engine has started, there is a
system error.
▶ Continued driving is possible with appropriate caution. Seek assistance from
a specialist garage immediately.
Disconnecting the vehicle battery
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the indicator
light comes on after switching on the ignition.
The warning light should go out after driving a short distance.
If, after a short drive, the indicator light does not go out, there is a system er-
ror.
▶ Continued driving is possible with appropriate caution. Seek assistance from
a specialist garage immediately.
Other incidents
The following reasons can explain the warning light being illuminated.
▶ The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute the load evenly.
▶ The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
▶ Snow chains are mounted.
▶ A wheel has been changed.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light can be delayed or does not light up at all.36Using the system

The windows can be operated mechanically by the winder attached to the re-
spective door panel.
The windows can be operated electrically from the following locations; all win-
dows from the driver's seat and also via the buttons for the windows in the
passenger door or the rear doors.
WARNING■ Always close the window carefully and in a controlled manner. Otherwise
these could cause severe crushing injuries.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 55. If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of in-
jury.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean (free of ice and similar) to ensure the correct func-
tionality of the electric windows.■
Always close the electric windows before disconnecting the battery.
Note
If the windows are opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle
and in addition the wind noise is more at certain speeds.53Unlocking and opening
