3 - Fuel gaugeThe gauge starts to work when the ignition
is switched on.
The fuel tank holds about 55 litres.
If the warning lamp comes on, there are still
about 7 litres of fuel in the fuel tank.4 - SpeedometerDuring the running-in period, refer to the
instructions on page 117.
The speedometer range depends on the
engine power output.
Odometer
The upper counter registers the total di-
stance driven, and the bottom counter the
short trips (trip counter).
The figure after the point in the lower coun-
ter indicates 100 m or 1/10 mile.
The trip counter can be zeroed by pressing
the knob (below the speedometer).
For your own safety, do not attempt to
zero the counter when driving.Service interval display
If the due date of an inspection is reached,
the following text appears in the trip coun-
ter display* or in the information display*
(see page 53)
1):
„Service km 1500“ or
„Service in 1500 km“.
The km figure is reduced in steps of 100 km
prior to the service inspection.
1)On certain models the service message „serv-
ice OIL“ or „service INSP“ appears in the serv-
ice interval display.
If the due date for inspection is reached,
the flashing readout „service“ or „service
now“ appears in the display.
The service message disappears about 20
seconds after starting the engine. You can
also switch to the trip counter display by
pressing the reset knob (for more than 0.5
seconds).
It is recommended to have repair and
service work carried out only in a Škoda
Dealership.
The Škoda Dealership which carried out the
service resets the service interval display
after completion of the work.
It is also possible to reset the service inter-
val display with the reset knob of the trip
counter as follows:

Switch off the ignition and press the re-
set knob of the trip counter below the
speedometer and hold.

Switch on the ignition and release the
reset knob. The message „service“ or
„service now“ appears in the display.
1)

Turn the knob for setting the clock to the
right until the message is reset.

50CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTNote

Do not reset the readout between ser-
vice intervals, otherwise an incorrect rea-
dout will be displayed.

The information is retained even if the
vehicle battery is disconnected.

If the instrument cluster is replaced du-
ring repairs, it is necessary to reset the
service interval display. This should be
done by a Škoda Dealership.
It is not recommended to reset the serv-
ice interval display yourself otherwise
this may result in incorrect settings and
thus in possible faults in the vehicle.
After resetting the service interval dis-
play on models fitted with LongLife Serv-
ice*, the service messages are displayed
in the same way as on models not fitted
with LongLife Service.
For this reason we recommend having
the service interval display reset in a
Škoda Dealership. The service interval
display is correctly reset by the Škoda
Dealership using a diagnostic tester.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster,
„dEF“ appears continuously in the display
panel of the trip counter. The fault should
be rectified as soon as possible by a Škoda
Dealer.
5 - Digital clockA knob is provided at the bottom right of
the rev counter for setting the time.

The hours can be set by turning the knob
to the left.

The minutes can be set by turning the
knob to the right.
Warning

Always withdraw the key from the
ignition lock when leaving the car -
even if only for a short time.

For safety reasons, do not attempt
to set the time when driving. When
setting the time, the button should
only be turned and not pressed oth-
erwise the clock may be damaged.
5 - Multi-function display*The information appears in the rev coun-
ter display or in the information display -
see page 53 - depending on the vehicle
equipment.
The multifunctional display shows in
addition to the time a range of further
information:

Outside temperature

Range

Current fuel consumption level

Average fuel consumption

Counter for the distance driven

Average speed

Driving time

Time of day

52CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENTThe memoriesThe system is equipped with two memories
which operate automatically:
A single trip memory 1
collates the following trip data from the
moment the ignition is switched on until it
is switched off: Travelling time, distance
travelled and quantity of fuel consumed.
This information is used to calculate the
average driving speed and the average fuel
consumption.
If the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition, the additional in-
formation is also included in the calculati-
on. The memory is automatically erased if
the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours.
A total trip memory 2
collates the trip data of any desired number
of individual trips up to a total of 100 hours
travelling time, 10000 km distance and
1000 litres of fuel consumed. These trip
data are used for calculating the average
fuel consumption and speeds achieved
during all the individual trips.If one of the figures stated is exceeded, the
memory is erased and the calculation starts
from the beginning again. Contrary to the
single journey memory, this memory is not
erased after a break in the journey of more
than 2 hours.
Retrieving information
To retrieve the information, select the me-
mories by pressing the
„Reset“ button:
- Single trip memory - 1
- Total trip memory - 2
The following data can be displayed:

Driving time

Distance driven

Average speed

Average fuel consumption
Erasing the memories
The memories can be reset to zero by pres-
sing the „Reset“ button for at least 1 se-
cond.
DisplayingAfter switching on the ignition , the last
readout selected is displayed.
Ambient temperatureThe correct ambient temperature is display-
ed only after 5 minutes. If the car is not mov-
ing or travelling only at a very low speed, the
temperature indicated may be slightly higher
than the actual ambient temperature because
of the heat radiated by the engine.Warning
If the ambient temperature display is
used as an ice warner, do not forget
that black ice may also be present on
the road surface even at tempera-
tures above 0°C. A snow flake sym-
bol is displayed in addition (depend-
ing on vehicle equipment).RangeThis readout indicates the distance which
the vehicle can still travel with the actual
level of fuel in the fuel tank. The figure is
based on the calculation of the average fuel
consumption for the last 50 km. If the dis-
play is reset (after disconnecting and re-
connecting the battery), the vehicle should
be driven 50 km in order to display the re-
levant figure.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Engine oilWarning light shows red
(engine oil level too low)
The warning light comes on for a few se-
conds when the ignition is switched on.
On vehicles with information display, the
warning light does not come on after switch-
ing on the ignition, only if a fault exists or a
shortage of oil.
If the warning light does not go out after a
few seconds or comes on when driving,
stop the car and switch off the engine,
check oil level and top up oil if necessary –
see page 136.
Text in the information display*: STOP! OIL
PRESSURE STOP ENGINE! SERVICE
MANUAL.
An audible warning signal sounds (peep
signal 3 times).
If the warning light comes on although the
oil is at the correct level, do not continue
driving . The engine must also not be run
at idling speed in this case. Contact a
Škoda Dealership for professional advice. Warning
The oil pressure light is not an oil
level indicator! One should therefore
check the oil level at regular inter-
vals, preferably after every refuelling
stop.
Warning light lights up yellow*
(oil in the engine is too low)
If the warning light lights up yellow, the
quantity of oil in the engine is probably too
low.
Check as soon as possible the oil level or
top up with engine oil - see page 140.
An audible warning signal sounds (3x
beeps).
Text in the information display*: CHECK OIL
LEVEL.
Models fitted with LongLife Service: The
oil level warning is reset when the bonnet
is opened. If the engine oil is not replenis-
hed, the warning appears once again after
driving about 100 km.
Yellow warning light flashes*
(engine oil level gauge faulty)
If a fault occurs at the engine oil level gau-
ge, this is indicated by an audible signal and
by the warning light flashing several times.
Text in the information display*: OIL SEN-
SOR WORKSHOP.
Have the engine inspected without de-
lay by a Škoda Dealership.
