2007 SKODA OCTAVIA TOUR brake

178DO-IT-YOURSELFA - Discharged battery
B - Battery supplying current
Warning
Do not connect the cable to the nega-
tive terminal (-) of the discharged
battery. This can produce sparks
when the engine is started which
might ignite the gas flowing out of
the battery.
Do not affix the cable end 4 to parts
of the fuel and brake system. Warning


The non-insulated parts of the ca-
ble clamps must not touch one an-
other on any account. In addition, the
jump-start cable attached to the posi-
tive terminal of the battery must not
come into contact with electrically
conducting parts of the vehicle - risk
of short circuit!

Route the jump-start cables so
that they cannot come into contact
with rotating parts in the engine com-
partment.

Do not bend over the batteries -
risk of acid burns!

Keep sources of ignition (naked
flames, burning cigarettes etc.) well
away from the battery - risk of explo-
sion!

Start the engine as described in the sec-
tion „Starting engine“.

If the engine does not start right away,
do not crank the starter for more than 10
seconds and then wait about 30 seconds
before making a further attempt.

Once the engine is running, disconnect
both cables in exactly the reverse order.
Tow-starting/towingThe towing eyes are located at the rear right
below the bumper and at the front - see
arrow.
A tow rope or tow bar should be attached
only to these towing eyes.

Remove a ventilation grille before using
the front towing eye. Ventilation grille is held
in place with plastic spring catches in the
area of the arrow. Ventilation grille can be
removed by hand.

Grasp the top part of the grille, press
grille off in direction of arrow 1 and take out
in direction of arrow 2.

After using the towing eye, insert the
ventilation grille into the guides and press
on.

DO-IT-YOURSELF
It is not recommended to tow-start the
vehicle (despite observing the instruc-
tions which are given in the Owner’s
Manual) in view of the fact that severe
engine damage may result in certain cir-
cumstances.
It is best to attempt to start the engine
by using jump-starting cables - refer to
page 177 of the Owner’s Manual - or to
call on the services of SERVICE Mobil.
General information

The tow rope should be elastic so that
there is no strain on either vehicle. It is best
to use only plastic fibre ropes or ropes
made of a similarly elastic material. It is
important to ensure that no impermissible
pulling forces and no sudden shock loads
occur. If attempting to tow a car which is
not on a paved road, there is always a risk
of the parts of the car to which the tow rope
is attached being subjected to excessive
stress and damaged.

Before attempting to start the engine
by tow-starting the car, always use the
battery of another vehicle as a jump-
starting aid if possible - see page 177. It is essential to pay attention to the follo-
wing points when tow-starting and to-
wing the car:


Observe any legal regulations regarding
towing another vehicle.

Both drivers should be acquainted with
the special features of towing a vehicle.
Persons not familiar with towing a vehicle
should not attempt to tow-start or tow a car.

If a tow rope is used, the driver of the
towing vehicle should engage the clutch
particularly softly when moving off and shift-
ing gears.

The driver of the towed car should en-
sure that the tow rope is always taught.

The ignition of the towed car should be
switched on so that the steering wheel is
not blocked and the turn signal lights, the
windscreen wipers, horn, lights and other
electrical components can be switched on.

As the brake servo unit only operates
when the engine is running, note that suffi-
ciently greater force is required to depress
the brake pedal when the engine is not run-
ning and the steering is also much more
difficult to operate.
For technical reasons, it is not possible
to tow-start a car fitted with an automatic
gearbox.
In the event of a defect in the gearbox,
your vehicle no longer contains lubri-
cant, the car must be towed with the
driving wheels lifted or on a special
transporter or trailer.

TECHNICAL DATA
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand shoc k absorber dome. This number is also
located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen (together with
a VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number is stamped into the engine block.
Type plate (production plate)
The type plate is located in the engine co mpartment at the front on the left hand
shock absorber dome.
Homologation sign
The homologation sign is located on the lo ck carrier. Vehicles for certain countries
do not have an homologation sign.
Sticker on inside of fuel filler flap
The sticker is affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. The sticker contains the
following data:
•The prescribed types of fuel,
•Tyre si z e,
•Tyre pressure.
Fuel consumption according to the regulations
(99/100/EU)
Depending on the range of the special equipment, style of driving, traffic situation,
weather influences an d vehicle condition, the consum ption values which in prac-
tice result when using the vehicle ca n deviate from the indicated values.
Urban traffic
The consumption measurement in urban traffic begins with starting of the cold
engine. Afterwards the normal urban traffic is simulated. Non-urban traffic
For the consumption measurement in non-ur
ban traffic the vehicle, as in daily
motoring, is accelerated and braked several times in all gears. The vehicle speed
changes within the range from 0 to 120 km/h.
Combined traffic
The consumption value in the combined traf fic consists of 37% from the value for
the urban traffic and of 63% from the value for the non-urban traffic.
