The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol
in
the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve
marking. There are now about 7 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.
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”.
The kilometer counter for distance driven is shown on the display when
the ignition is switched off. The trip counter for distance driven is shown
on the display after switching on the ignition. You can then switch over to
the counter display with the reset button.
Reset button
By briefly pressing the reset button ⇒page 13, fig. 2 you can switch
over from the trip counter to the kilometer counter. In order to recognize
which counter for the distance driven is shown on the display at that
moment, trip ⇒ fig. 3 appears after the trip counter.
If you hold the reset button pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter
is set back to zero.
If you hold the reset button pressed for longer than 3 seconds, a
display regarding the kilometers still to be driven and the days until the
following service interval (for this the trip counter is not set back) appears.
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!

•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 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.
•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 informa-
tion about the service intervals.

eter for adjusting the clock ⇒page 13, fig. 2 .
