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.

Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
6Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy for you to find and absorb the information you require.Chapters, table of contents and subject indexThe text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are combined into easy-to-read
chapters
. The chapter you are reading at any partic-
ular moment is highlighted at the bottom right of the page. The
Table of contents
is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject index
at the end of the Owner's Manual helps you to rapidly find the infor-
mation you are looking for.SectionsThe majority of
Sections
apply to all models.
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clearly unavoidable, despite dividing the contents into sections, that mention may be made of equipment which is
not fitted to your vehicle.
Brief information and instructionsEach section has a
Heading
.
This is followed by
Brief information
(in large italic lettering), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section. Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an
Instruction
(in relatively large
letters) which explains to you in a straig
htforward way the action you have to take.
Work steps
which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.
Direction indicationsAll direction indications such as “left”, “right
”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.Explanation of symbols* Equipment which is marked in such a wa
y is only standard
on certain vehicle
model versions or only suppliable as
optional equipment for certain models.
 End of a section.
 The section is continued on the next page.NotesAll four kinds of notes, which are used in th
e text, are always stated at the end of the
respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading WARNING. These WARNING notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury. While reading the text you will frequently encounter a double arrow followed by a small warning symbol. This
symbol is intended to draw your
attention to a WARNING note at the end of the section to which you must pay careful attention.
Caution
A Caution
note draws your
attention to the possibility of damage to your vehicle
(e.g. damage to gearbox), or points
out general risks of an accident.
For the sake of the environment
An Environmental
note draws your attention to environmental protection aspects.
This is where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel consump- tion.
Note
A normal
Note
draws your attention
in a general way to important information.

Engine revolutions counterThe red zone of the rev counter scale
⇒page 17, fig. 18
indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to li
mit the engine speed. The engine control
unit restricts the engine speed to the steady limit value. Shift into the next higher gear or select
the selector lever position D of the auto-
matic gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale. Avoid high engine speeds during the driv
ing time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature
⇒page 201.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds* An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome- tres per hour. The acoustic warning signal
will switch off ag
ain when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge
⇒page 17, fig. 18
operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on. In order to avoid any damage to the engine
, please pay attentio
n to the following
notes regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoi
d running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads. The operating range The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe
r may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temper
atures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol
 in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol
 in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature
is too high or the coolant
level
is too low. Observe the guidelines
⇒ page 36, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
⇒page 225, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co
mponents in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge
⇒page 17, fig. 18
only operates when th
e ignition is switched
on. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55°litres or 60 litres
2). The warning symbol

in the instrument cluster li
ghts up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking.
There are now about 9 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you must refuel

Technical Data
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel!
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, driving downhill and climbing a st
eep hill) the fuel ga
uge indicates approx.
a fraction less. When stopping or during
less dynamic driving, the correct fuel
supply quantity is
indicated. This effect is not a fault.
Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have
driven with your vehicle is
shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measur
ing unit “mile” is used.
Reset button If you hold the reset button
⇒page 17, fig. 18
pressed for about 1 second, the
trip counter is set back to zero. Trip counter for distance driven The trip counter indicates the di
stance which you have driven
⇒fig. 19
since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile. Counter for distance driven The counter for distance driven
⇒fig. 19
indicates the total distance in kilometers
or miles which the vehicle has driven. Fau lt dis pla y If there is a fault in the instrument cluster,
a constant text will appear in the display
Error
. Have the fault rectified as soon as
possible by a specialist workshop.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for safety reasons!
Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the information display* the display of the second speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the counter for the total distance driven.
