Note
•Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may
result in incorrect readouts.
•information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the
battery of the vehicle is disconnected.
•it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instru-
ment cluster is installed during repair work. this work is carried out by a
Škoda dealer.
•After resetting the display with flexible service intervals (QG1) using
the reset button of the counter for distance driven, the data displayed are
the same as for a car with fixed service intervals (QG2).
•We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset
only by a Škoda dealer who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the
display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service Plan for extensive information
about the service intervals.
Multi-functional indicator*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display of the revolutions
counter ⇒page 13, fig. 3 or in the information display ⇒fig. 7 depending
on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.

Using the system
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of
the window wiper lever ⇒fig. 9 .
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows one to select the various memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the individual functions of the multi-functional indicator to appear
in the display one after the other.
Setting function to zero
– Select the memory you want.
– Press button for more than 1 second.
The following readouts of the selected memory will be set to zero by
button :
•Average fuel consumption
•Distance driven
•Average speed
•Driving time
You can only operate the multi-functional indicator when the ignition is
switched on. After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the
one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
The outside temperature indicator will appear with an ice chrystal symbol
when the outside temperature lies between +5°C and -5°C. The symbol
warns the driver of the possible danger of ice on the road.
The outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is
switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indicated with a delay of 5
minutes. If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the
temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outside
temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature is between about +5 °C and -5 °C an ice crystal
symbol appears before the temperature display.

Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data
(guidance to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for
vehicles which have a navigation and information display).
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the
distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of
fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps
of 5 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating
the range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on,
the range will be increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery)
before a new readout for the range is displayed.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km.
This information can help you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel
consumption you wish to achieve.
The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a
low speed.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is
shown in the display in litres/100 km ⇒page 19. This information can help
you to adapt your style of driving to the fuel consumption you wish to
achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a certain
period of time you must first erase the memory at the start of the new
measurement using the button ⇒page 20, fig. 9 . A zero appears in
the display for the first 300 metres you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 30 metres while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased,
appears in the display ⇒page 19. If you wish to calculate the driving time
from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this
moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 20, fig. 9 .
The maximum time indicated in both switch positions is 99 hours and 59
minutes. The indicator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Distance driven
The distance driven since the memory ⇒page 19 was last erased
appears in the display. If you wish to calculate the distance driven from a

conditions afterwards using the switch-over function (such as water level
low).
Door ajar warning, lugg age compartment door and
bonnet ajar warning
