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 af
ter a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval 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 that 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.•

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.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equi
pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in
the middle of the display field
⇒fig. 20
.
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 da
ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2). Switching over the memory with the help of the button
⇒fig. 21
on the wind-
screen wiper lever or with the help of th
e button on the multifunction steering
wheel*
⇒page 23.
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 off. 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 leverThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the window wiper lever
