OWNER‘S MANUAL
How you can contribute to a cleaner environment
The fuel consumption of your Škoda - and thus the level of
pollutants contained in the exhaust - is also determined by
how you drive.
The noise level and wear and tear are also influenced by how
you personally handle your vehicle. This Owner ´s Manual tells
you how to drive your Škoda to achieve the minimum impact
on the environment, and how to save money at the same time.
Look up „Environment“ in the Index to find out more.
Please also refer to all the texts identified with a
in this
Owner ´s Manual.
Make your contribution - for the sake of the
environment.
