Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switch ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The
designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something wh ich you can do yourself, but requires to
be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to bulbs which can only be
reached from the engine compartment.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a Škoda Service
Partner or, in exceptional cases, by ca
lling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 225,
“Working in the engine compartment”.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was delivered
in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs
23) are available at specialist garages.
The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of light bulbs on Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and main
beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage.

Sticker on inside of fuel filler flap
The stickers are affixed to the inside of th e fuel filler flap and contain the following
information:
•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 and vehi cle condition, the consumption values which in prac-
tice result when using the vehicle ca n deviate from the indicated values.
Urban traffic
The consumption measurement in urban traf fic 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.

Engine oil specifications
The grade of engine oil should be selected in accordance with
precise specifications.
The engine of your vehicle has been fact ory-filled with a high-grade oil which you
can use throughout the year - exce pt in extreme climatic regions.
You can mix various oils together with each other when refilling with oil. This does
not, however, apply for models with flexible service intervals (QG1).
Engine oils are, of course, undergoing co ntinuous further development. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.
Škoda Service Partners are informed by Škod a Auto a.s. about current changes. This
why you should always have engine oil changed by your Škoda Service Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following must be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
Engine oil specifications for models with flexible service intervals (QG1) Engine oil specifications for vehicles with fixed service intervals (QG2)
If the oils specified above are not available,
oils according to ACEA A2 or ACEA A3
can be used once for refilling.
If the oils specified above are not available, oils according to ACEA B3 or ACEA B4
can be used once for refilling.

Caution
Only the above-mentioned oils may be used on vehicles with flexible service inter-
vals (QG1). We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since
this will maintain the properties of the oil. In exceptional cases, you must top up
only once engine oil complying with Sp ecification VW 502 00 (only for petrol
engines) or Specification VW 505 01 (only for diesel engines) to maximum 0.5 litres.
You must not use other engine oi ls - risk of engine damage!
Note
•Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you
engine oil which complies with the specif ication for your vehicle. Consequently,
you will always have the correct engine oil for refilling.
•We recommend using a preservative fr om the Škoda original accessories
offered by your Škoda dealer.
•For further information - see Service shedule.
