An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! The irregular supply of the fuel system
can lead to irregular running of the engi ne. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust
system and damage the catalytic converter.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, accelerating and climbing a stee p hill) the fuel gauge indicates approx. a
fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the correct fuel supply
quantity is indicated. Th is effect is not a fault.

In some countries the measur ing unit “mile” is used. Reset button

Service Interval Display
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ on the
display.
Service Interval Display
Before the next service interval a key symbol
 and the remaining kilometers are
indicated after switching on the ignition ⇒fig. 20 . At the same time, a display
appears regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Service in ... km or... days
The kilometre indicator or the days indica tor reduces in steps of 100 km. or days
until the service due date is reached.
A flashing key symbol
 and the text Service appears in the display for 20 seconds
as soon as the due date for the service is reached.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Service now!
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least
a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
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.
Reset the service interval displays by using the button ⇒page 17, fig. 18 .
On vehicles which are equipped with in formation display*, you can call up this
information in the following menu on ⇒page 26:
„SETTINGS (SETTINGS)
„Service Interval (Service)
„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.
•If the instrument cluster is exchanged afte r a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interva l Display. This work is carried out by a
specialist garage.
•The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as th at for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (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 schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
