etc. are supplied with separate instru ctions for operating such equipment.
•The arrangement of the controls and switches and the location of some items
on right-hand drive models may differ from that shown in ⇒page 8, fig. 1 . The

Engine revolutions counter
The start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒page 11, fig. 2 indicates
the maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been
run in and operating at a normal temperatur e. You should shift into the next higher
gear before this red zone is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if
your car is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
One should shift to the next lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer
running “smoothly”.
Avoid high engine speeds du ring the running-in period ⇒page 162.
Caution
The needle of the revolutions counter must on no account move into the red zone
of the scale - risk of engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.
Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauge ⇒ page 11, fig. 2 operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine , please pay attention to the following
notes regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads. The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe
r may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temper atures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol
 in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol
 in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Please refer to the guide-
lines ⇒page 26, “Coolant temperature, Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 185, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge ⇒page 11, fig. 2 only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of ab out 62 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now
about 8 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.
Digital clock
You can set the time with the reset button at the bottom right next to the
rev counter.
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!
Speedometer with counter for distance driven
The distance which you have driven with yo ur vehicle is shown in kilometres (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 metr es 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 indica tes the total distance in kilometres or
miles which the vehicle has been driven.
Fau lt dis pla y
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 kilome-
tres 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!
Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the information appears in
the display of the counter for distance driven or in the information display ⇒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 bu tton 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 Se rvice Interval Display with the reset button
⇒ fig. 5 as follows (does not apply to models with fixed service intervals - QG2).
•Switch off the ignition (if not already of f), 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 other-
wise 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 instrument 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 sc hedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display of the revolutions counter
⇒ page 11, fig. 2 or in the information display ⇒fig. 6 depending on the equip-
ment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of
measures.
Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equippe d with two automatic memories. You can
see the memory which is currently being shown in the display from the negatively
displayed number ⇒fig. 7 .
The data of the single-trip memo ry (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that da ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching of the memory takes place when the button ⇒page 16, fig. 8 .
