2004 SKODA OCTAVIA TOUR fuel

180DO-IT-YOURSELFAdditional points for the driver of the to-
wed vehicle to note during tow-starting:

Before starting to tow the car, engage
3rd or 4th gear, depress clutch pedal and
hold. The ignition should be switched on.

Once both vehicles are moving, release
the clutch pedal.

As soon as the engine has started, de-
press clutch pedal and take the car out of
gear to avoid running into the towing vehi-
cle.

If your car is fitted with a catalytic con-
verter, the engine must not be started by
towing the car over a distance of more
than 50 m (150 ft) if the catalytic con-
verter is warm otherwise uncombusted
fuel may get into the catalytic converter
and cause damage. Pay attention to the following points if
towing a car fitted with an automatic
gearbox:


Move the shift lever into position „N“.

The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h
(30 mph).

The maximum towing distance is 50 km
(30 miles)!

If the car has to be towed over a greater
distance, the front wheels should be raised
clear of the ground.
The gear oil pump does not operate when
the engine is not running; consequently, the
gearbox is not sufficiently lubricated when
running at high speeds and over lengthy
distances.

If the car is towed by a tow truck, the front
wheels should always be raised clear of the
ground.
If the rear wheels are raised clear of the
ground, the drive shafts will rotate in the
opposite direction. As a result, the gears in
the automatic gearbox will run at such high
speeds that the gearbox could suffer se-
vere damage within a short time.

How you can contribute to a cleaner envi-
r
onment
The fuel consumption of your Škoda - and thus
the

level of pollutants contained in the exhaust
- is also determined by how you drive.
The

noise level and wear and tear are also influ-
enced

by how you personally handle your vehi-
cle.
This Owner ´s Manual tells you how to drive your Škoda to achieve the minimum impact on
the

environment, and how to save money at
the same time. Look up „Environment“ in the
Index to find out more.
Please

also refer to all the texts identif ied with a
 in this Owner ´s Manual.
Mak
e your contribution - for the sake of
the environment.
