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!

Note
On vehicles with information display both counters are shown simultane-
ously on the display.
Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ
slightly on the display.
Service Interval Display
A key symbol
 appears in the counter display for distance driven about
30 days before reaching the due date for the service ⇒fig. 4 . The
remaining distance to be driven will be indicated for 10 seconds next to
the key symbol and then the remaining number of days to the due date for
the service inspection. The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE DUE IN ... KM OR ... DAYS
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km.
or days until the service due date is reached.
The following text appears as a flashing key symbol
 and a text as soon
as the due date for the service is reached.
INSP
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
SERVICE NOW
The display disappears within 20 seconds after switching on the ignition.
The trip counter is also displayed after pressing the reset button for the trip
counter (for more than 1 second).
Display regarding the distance and days until the following service
interval
You can have the distance still to be driven and the days until the following
service interval displayed at any time as follows:
•Press reset button for more than 3 seconds.
A key symbol
 is displayed on the display of the counter for the
distance driven. The remaining distance to be driven will be indicated for
10 seconds next to the key symbol and then the remaining number of days
to the due date for the service inspection.
Resetting Service Interval Display
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The 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.
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.
Digital clock
A reset button is installed on the left below beside the speedom-
eter 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
The clock should not be adjusted while driving for safety reasons
but only when the vehicle is stationary.
Multi-functional indicator (onboard
computer)*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒page 18, fig. 5 or
in the information display ⇒page 22, fig. 8 depending on the equipment
fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information

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 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.
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 +4 °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 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 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.
