Wheels and Tyres
242
•
The wheel bolts must be clean and must
turn easily. However, they must
never be treated with grease or oil.•
If the wheel bolts are tightened to a too low tightening torque, the rim
can lossen when the car is moving - risk of accident! A tightening torque which is too high can damage the bolts and threads and this can result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rims.
Caution
The prescribed tightening torque of the wheel bolts for steel and light alloy wheels is 120 Nm.Winter tyresThe handling of your vehicle will be signi
ficantly improved when driving on wintry
roads if you fit winter tyres. Summer tyres do not offer the same grip on ice, snow and at temperatures below 7 °C because of
their construction (width, rubber blend,
tread pattern). This particularly applie
s to vehicles which
are equipped with
low-
profile tyres
or high-speed tyres
(code index H or V on wall of tyre).
Winter tyres must be mounted on all four
wheels to obtain the
best handling char-
acteristics. You must only fit those types of winter tyre
which are approved for your vehicle. The
permissible
sizes of winter tyres
are stated in your vehicle documents. Approvals
may differ because of
national legislation.
Please remember that the tyres should be in
flated to 20 kPa (0.2 bar) more than is
the case for summer tyres
⇒page 238.
Winter tyres no longer offer the
same winter performance once the
tyre tread
has
worn down to a depth of about 4 mm. Ageing
a l s o c a u s e s w i n t e r t y re s t o l o s e m o s t
of their winter performance properties
- even in cases where the remaining tread depth is still clearly more than 4 mm. Speed restrictions
apply to winter tyres as
well as to summer tyres
⇒page 240,
⇒
.
You can fit winter tyres of a lower speed ca
tegory to your vehicle provided that you
also do not drive faster than the permissible maximum speed for such tyres, even if the possible maximum speed of your ve
hicle is higher. The
corresponding tyre
category can damage the tyres when ex
ceeding the permissible maximum speed.
Please pay attention to the notes if
you decide to fit winter tyres
⇒page 238.
You can also fit so-called “all-year tyres” instead of winter tyres.Please contact your specialist garage if there are any points which are not clear who will be able to provide you with information regarding the maximum speed for your tyres.
WARNING
You must on no account drive your car at more than the permissible maximum speed for your winter tyres -
risk of an accident resulting from
tyre damage and loss of control over your car.
For the sake of the environment
Fit your summer tyres on again in good time since summer tyres offer you better grip and handling on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as ar tempera- tures below 7 °C - the braking distance is shorter, there is less tyre noise, tyre wear is reduced and fuel consumption is reduced.
Note
Please observe the various differing legal requirements regarding tyres.Unidirectional tyres*The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by
arrows on the wall of the tyre
.
This indicates the direction of
rotation of the tyre, and it is essential that the tyres
are fitted on to run in this direction. On
ly then are the tyres able to provide the
optimal properties in terms of grip, lo
w noise, wear-and-tear and aquaplaning.
Should it be necessary to fit on a spare
wheel in exceptional cases with a tyre not
dedicated to the running direction or in o
pposite running direct
ion, please adopt a

repair can be undertaken on
the vehicle immediately.
Please read the attached
instructions carefully before the repair. The tyre repair kit is located in a textile ba
g. There is a velcro fastener on the under-
side of the bag, with which the bag is atta
ched to the floor covering of the luggage
compartment in such a way that the side of the bag rests on the right side of the luggage compartment and on the seat backrest.Spare wheel*The spare wheel lies in a well under the floor covering of the luggage compartment and is fixed in place using special screws
⇒fig. 224
.
Before removing the spare wheel, you must take out the box with the vehicle tool kit box
⇒page 246, fig. 223
.
One should check the inflation pressure in the spare wheel (at best when generally checking the tyre air pressures - see sign on the fuel filler flap
⇒page 238) to
ensure that the spare wheel is always ready to use. Temporary spare wheel A warning label displayed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel indicates that your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare wheel. Please observe the following notes when driving with a temporary spare wheel:
•
After fitting on the wheel, the warning st
icker must not be concealed (e.g. by the
wheel trim).•
D o n o t d r i v e w i t h th i s s p a re w h e e l a t m o re th a n 8 0 k m / h - ri s k o f a c c i d e n t. Av o i d
accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.•
The inflation pressure for this spare wheel is identical to the inflation pressure
of the standard tyres. The temporary spar
e wheel R 18 must have an inflation pres-
sure of 420 kPa (4.2 bar)!•
Use this spare wheel only to reach the nearest specialist garage as it is not
intended for continuous use.•
No other summer or winter tyres must
be mounted on the rim of the spare
wheel R 18.Changing a wheelPreliminary workThe following steps should be carried out before actually changing the wheel. – If it is necessary to change a wheel, park the vehicle as far away as
possible from the traffic flow. The place you choose should be
level
.
–Have
all the occupants get out.
While changing a wheel, the occu-
pants of the vehicle should not stan
d on the road (e.g. behind a crash
barrier).
– Apply the
handbrake
firmly.
–Engage
1st gear
or if your vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox,
position the
selector lever into position P
.
– If a trailer is coupled, uncouple it.– Take the

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 consumpt
ion 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 specificationsThe 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 deve
lopment. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication. Authorised Škoda Service Partners are informed by Škoda Auto about current changes. This why you should always have
engine oil changed by an authorised
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.
