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.
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. 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 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.

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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 ⇒fig. 8 .
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment
the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow
into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours after switching off the ignition. The memory will be is auto-
matically 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 indi-
vidual journeys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999
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 interruption 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. 8 .
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 individual functions of the multi-functional 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.
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.
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.

from a particular time of day you must first erase the memory at this
moment in time by pressing the button ⇒page 19, fig. 8 .
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. 8 .
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9 999 km. The
indicator 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 measurement using the button ⇒page 19, fig. 8 .
