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.

Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni-
tion is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after
switching off the ignition. The memory will be is automatically 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 individual jour-
neys 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 eras ed 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 th
e button allows one to select
the individual memories.
Selecting the functions
– Press the rocker switch up or do wn. 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 fu nction 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 indi cated with a delay of 5 minutes. If the
vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the temperature indicated may

Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
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 temper-
ature lies between +5°C and -5°C.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
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 styl e 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.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption since the me mory was last erased is shown in the
display in litres/100 km ⇒page 15. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel co nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel consumption over a cert ain period of time
you must first erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the
button ⇒page 16, fig. 8 . A zero appears in the display for the first 300 m you
drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 30 metres while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consum ed will not be indicated.
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display ⇒page 15. If you wish to calculate th e driving time from a particular
time of day you must first erase the memory at this moment in time by pressing the
button ⇒page 16, fig. 8 .
The maximum time indicated in both switch positions is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to nu ll if this period is exceeded.

Changing the key battery
Each master key contains a battery wh ich is housed in the cover of the
transmitter housing ⇒fig. 19 . We recommend that you have the
batteries of the key replaced by a Škoda Service Partner. You should,
however, proceed as follows if you wi sh to replace the battery yourself:
– Fold open the key.
– Use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the front part of the key ⇒fig. 19 from the transmitter housing .
– Take off the cover of the transmitter housing ⇒ fig. 20 in direction of
arrow. – Take the used battery out of the housing cover.
– Insert the new battery. Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is
facing downwards. The correct polarity is also shown on the cover of
the transmitter housing.
– Insert cover with battery in place at the rear of the transmitter housing
and press both parts together.
– Insert the transmitter housing into the front part of the key so that the two parts lock into each other.
For the sake of the environment
Dispose of an old battery in accord ance with environmental regulations.
Note
•The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original
battery.
•If it is still not be possib le to unlock or lock the ve hicle with the remote control
even after replacing the battery this means that the system has to be synchronised
⇒ page 39.
Electronic immobiliser 
The electronic immobiliser prevents the vehicle being operated by an
unauthorised person.
An electronic chip is integrated in the he ad of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inser ted in the ignition lock. The elec-
tronic immobiliser is automatically activa ted when you withdraw the ignition key
from the lock.

The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the master key. The
receiver is located in the interior of th e car. The operating range of the remote
control is 10 metres but this range can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The master key has a fold-open key bit whic h can be used for unlocking and locking
the car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the rece iver unit has been repaired or a new unit
installed, it is then necessary for a Škoda Service Partner to initialise the system.
Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control.
Note
•The remote control is automatically deac tivated when the ignition is switched
on.
•The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
•The battery must be replaced, ideally by a Škoda Service Partner, if the central
locking or anti-theft alarm system does re act to the remote control at less than 3
metres away.
