•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.

Multi-functional indica tor (onboard computer)*
Introduction
The multi-functional indicator appears in the display ⇒page 15, fig. 5 or in the
information display ⇒page 19 depending on the equipment fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers you a range of useful information. On vehicles which are fitted out with information display*, it is possible to switch
off the display of some information.
Caution
Pull out the ignition key while having cont
act with the display (for example when
cleaning) in order to prevent any damage.
Note
•In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures.
•If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed* is not
indicated in km/h on the display.

Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒fig. 5 .
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the
display. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button ⇒fig. 6 on the wind-
screen wiper lever or with the help of the button on the multifunction steering
wheel* ⇒page 16.
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 of f. 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 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper lever
The rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the
window wiper lever ⇒fig. 6 .
Selecting the memory
– Short-term pressing of the button allows to select the desired memory.
Selecting the functions
– Press the top or bottom rocker switch for longer than 0.5 seconds. In this way, call up in sequence the individual functions of the multi-
functional indicator.

Outside temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears before the temperature indicator ⇒fig. 8 and a
warning signal sounds. After pressing the rocker switch at the windshield wiper
lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or the button at the multifunction steering wheel
⇒ page 16, fig. 7 , the function shown last is indicated.
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 +4 °C - warning,
drive with care!
Driving time
The driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in
the display. If you wish to measure the driv ing time as of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on the
windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or the handwheel on the multifunction
steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 for longer than 1 second. The maximum distance indicated in both memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes.
The indicator is set back to nu
ll if this period is exceeded.
Current 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.
The indicated value will be updated every 0,5 seconds while you are driving.
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 set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the button on the windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or with the handwheel on
the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 . A zero appears in the display
for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consum ed will not be indicated.
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 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for the
fuel reserve the display 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.
If the memory is set to zero (after disc onnecting the battery), the fuel consumption
of 10 l/100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord-
ingly to the style of driving.
Distance driven
The distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display
⇒ page 15. If you wish to measure the distance driven of a particular time, you
must set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on
the windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or the handwheel on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 .
The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9999 km. The indicator
is set back to null if this period is exceeded.
Average speed
The average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in
km/hour ⇒page 15. If you wish to determine the average vehicle speed over a
certain period of time you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measure-
ment using the button on the windshield wiper lever ⇒page 15, fig. 6 or with
the handwheel on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 .
A zero appears in the display for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory.
The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Current speed*
The current speed which is identical to the display of the speedometer, is indicated
on the display ⇒page 10, fig. 2 .
Warning against excessive speeds
Warning against excessive speeds
This function enables you to set a speed limit, e.g. if you drive in town. A text in the
display is intended to draw your attention to the fact that you have exceeded the set
speed limit.
You can set the desired speed limit as follows:
•Select the menu Speed warning --- km/h (warning at --- km/h) .
•You can drive at the desired speed, e.g. 50 km/h
•Press the button on the windshield wiper lever ⇒fig. 10 or the handwheel
on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 16, fig. 7 . Speed warning
50 km/h (warning at 50 km/h) is displayed on the information display* ⇒fig. 9 .
