Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the information
appears in the display of the counter for distance driven or in the informa-
tion display⇒fig. 6 .
Service Interval Display
If the due date for the service is reached, the following text appears after
switching on the ignition:
in the display of the trip counter Service 1 500 km
in information display SERVICE in 1500 km
Prior to the due date for the service the kilometer readout decreases in
steps of 100 km. As soon as the due date for the service is reached, the
following text appears: in the display of the trip counter
Service
in information display Service now
The display disappears within 20 seconds after starting the engine. The
trip counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button of the trip
counter (for more than 1 second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
We recommend having this resetting performed by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda dealer:
•resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;
•makes an entry in the Service Schedule;
•affix the sticker to the side of the dash panel on the driver's side, where
the following service interval is entered.
It is also possible for you to reset the Service Interval Display with the
reset button of the trip counter for distance driven as follows (does not
apply to models with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition, press the reset button of the trip counter for
distance driven and hold it down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button of the trip counter.
The text Service or Service now appears in the display.
•Turn the button for resetting the clock to the right - the display is reset.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself
otherwise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly
set, which may also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.

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.

Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories.
You can see the memory which is currently being shown in the display
from the negatively displayed number ⇒fig. 8 . The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a
1 appears in
the display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total
distance memory (memory 2).
Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 20,
fig. 9 .
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment
the ignition 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. The memory will be is auto-
matically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for more than
2 hours .
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total distance driven memory gathers data from any number of
indvidual journeys up to a total of 100 hours driving or 10 000 kilometres
driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and
the calculation starts from anew.
The total-trip memory will not, contrary to the single-trip memory, be
deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.

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,
