•affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the dash panel on the driver's side.
The Service Interval Display can also be reset with the reset button as follows:
•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. Now turn the reset button to the right. The service interval display is reset.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset th e 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 Servic e Interval Display if a new instrument cluster is installed during repair work. Th is work is carried out by a specialist garage.
•The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only by a Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display with a vehicle system tester.
•Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about the service intervals.
Digital clock
A reset button is installed on the left below beside the speedometer
for adjusting the clock ⇒page 13, fig. 2.
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes
– Turn the reset button to the right.
WARNING

Multi-functional indicator (onboard
computer)*

Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of measures.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equi pped with two automatic memories. The selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 5.
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 19, fig. 6.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switch ed off. New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving in formation if the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically 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 interrupti on 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. 6.
Selecting the memory
– Repeated short-term pressing of the button allows one to
select the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or down. This will cause the indi-
vidual functions of the multi-functi onal 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.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature indicator ⇒ fig. 7 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds. The snoke flake symbol draws the attention of the driver to possible black ice formation. The display swicthes back after 10 seconds to the last selected function.

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 indi- cated may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal for ice on the road) appears wi th the outside temperature indicator ⇒ page 19, fig. 7 and a warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be present on the road surface ev en at temperatures around +4 °C - warning, drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data (guid-ance to the destination). It must be ca lled 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 10 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range. If you drive in a more econom ical 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 show n in the display in litres/100 km. This information can help you to adapt your st yle 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 18. 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 19, fig. 6. A zero appears in the display for the first 300 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consum ed will not be indicated.

The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in the display ⇒page 18. If you wish to calculate the driving time from a partic- ular time of day you must first erase th e memory at this moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6.
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 was last erased appears in the display ⇒ page 18. If you wish to calculate the distance driven from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6.
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9999 km. The indi- cator is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in km/hour ⇒page 18. If you wish to determine the average speed over a certain period of time you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measure- ment using the button ⇒page 19, fig. 6.
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
