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.

driven with your vehicle is
shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measur
ing unit “mile” is used.

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:

ResetCaution
We recommend that you do not reset the
Service Interval Disp
lay 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 an authorised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for reset- ting the display with a vehicle system tester.•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
