Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge ⇒page 13, fig. 2 only operates when the ignition is
switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 62 litres. The warning symbol
 in
the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve
marking. There are now about 8 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This
symbol is a reminder for you, that you must refuel.
The following will be displayed in the information display*: PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can
result in poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust
system and damage the catalytic converter.
Digital clock
You can set the time with the reset button at the bottom right next
to the rev counter.
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes
– Turn the reset button to the right.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons
but only when the vehicle is stationary!

Speedometer with counter for distance
driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilome-
tres (km). On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
Bottom counter (trip counter) for distance driven
The bottom counter indicates the distance which you have driven since
this counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile. It can
be reset to zero by pressing the reset button next to the trip counter
⇒ fig. 4 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilome-
tres or miles which the vehicle has been driven. Fault display
dEF
will appear as a constant text in the display field of the counter for
distance driven if there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have the fault
rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop.
Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds
120 kilometres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again
when the vehicle speed goes below this speed limit.
This function is only valid for some countries.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while
driving for safety reasons!

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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
⇒page 16, fig. 5 .
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 kilometre 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 specialist garage.
Specialist garage:
•resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,
•makes an entry in the Service schedule,
•affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the
side of the dash panel on the driver's side. It is also possible for you to reset the Service Interval Display with the
reset button
⇒page 16, fig. 5 as follows (does not apply to models
with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition (if not already off), press the reset button and
hold it down.
•Switch the ignition on and release the reset button . 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
specialist garage.
•After resetting the display with flexible service intervals (QG1) using
the reset button , 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 schedule for extensive informa-
tion about the service intervals.

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 a snowflake symbol
and a warning signal sounds* 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. After the rocker switch is pressed, the function displays
the one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
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.
The outside temperature indicator will appear with a snowflake symbol
(warning signal for ice on the road) and a warning signal sounds* when
the outside temperature lies between +5°C and -5°C.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temper-
ature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black
ice may also be present on the road surface even at temperatures
around +5°C - warning, drive with care!
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.
Fuel - present 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.

be reset with the memory buttons. If you had already started an operation
to retrieve the settings, this operation is not continued.
If the car is used only by one driver, it is not necessary to store particular
settings in this case, we recommend that you press the button
(increased switch position). Emergency Off
