Technical Data
Note
If the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected, the warning light
 comes
on after switching on the ignition. The warn
ing light must go out after driving a short
distance.Electronic stability programme (ESP)*

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
Components of the ESP system also include the Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), an
d the Antilock Brake System ABS (ABS).
The warning light comes on when drivin
g when a control cycle is activated.
The warning light will come on and remains on if the ESP is switched off or if there is a fault in the system. The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that the ESP warning light will also come on if the
ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light
 comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP
system can be switched off for technical
reasons. In this case, the ESP system can
be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP system is fully functional again. Further information on the ESP
⇒page 193, “Electronic stability programme
(ESP)*”. Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)* The EDL is a part of the ESP. A fault in the EDL is indicated by the ESP warning light in the instrument cluster. Have the vehicle inspected without delay by an author- ised Škoda Service Partner. Further information on the EDL
⇒page 194, “Electronic
Differential Lock (EDL)*”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected
and reconnected, the warning light
 comes
on after switching on the ignition. The warn
ing light must go out after driving a short
distance.


If the
green
warning light
 lights up, operate the brake pedal. This is necessary, in
order to be able to move the selector lever out of the position
P or N.
Tyre inflation pressure*

The warning light
 lights up, if there is a substantial drop in inflation pressure in
one of the tyres. Reduce the speed and check or correct as soon as possible the inflation pressure in the tyres
⇒page 235.
If the warning light flashes, there is a system fault. Visit the nearest specialist garage and have the fault rectified. Further information about tyre pressure-control system
⇒page 199.
WARNING
•
When the warning light
 lights up, immediately reduce the speed and
avoid sudden steering and brake mano
euvres. Please stop the vehicle
without delay at the nearest possible stop and inspect the tyres and their inflation pressures.•
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or
unpaved roads) the warning light
 can be delayed or does not light up at
all.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected, the warning light
 comes on after switching
on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a short distance.Antilock brake system (ABS)

The warning light comes on for a few second
s after the ignition has been switched
on or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic check sequence has been completed. A fault in the ABS The system is not functioning properly if the ABS warning light
 does not go out
within a few seconds after switching on the ignition, does not light up at all or lights up while driving. The vehicle will only be
braked by the normal brake system. Visit
a specialist garage as quickly as possible
and adjust your style of driving appropri-
ately as you will not know how great the damage is. Further information about ABS
⇒page 197, “Antilock brake system (ABS)”.
A fault in the entire brake system If the ABS warning light
 comes on together with the brake system warning light
 (handbrake must be released), there is
a fault not only in the ABS but also in
another part of the brake system
⇒
.
WARNING
•
If the brake system warning light
 comes on together with the ABS
warning light
 stop the vehicle immediatel
y and check the brake fluid
level in the reservoir
⇒page 228, “Brake fluid”. If the fluid level has dropped
below the MIN marking, do not drive any further - risk of accident! Obtain professional assistance.•
Pay attention to the following instru
ctions before checking the brake
fluid level and opening the bonnet
⇒page 223, “Working in the engine
compartment”.•
If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function has
failed. The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when braking. In certain circumstances, this can result in the rear end of the car breaking away - risk of skidding! Drive carefully to the ne
arest specialist garage and have the
fault rectified.
Bonnet

The warning light
 comes on if the bonnet is unlocked. If the engine bonnet
unlocks while driving
, the warning light lights up and an audible signal sounds.
The warning light comes on even when the

⇒page 46 is not operating, the
indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash slowly after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first of all flashes fast
for about 2 seconds, afterwards lights up
for about 30 seconds without interruption an
d then flashes slowly, there is a fault in
the system of the central locking or in the
interior monitor and in the towing protec-
tion monitoring*
⇒page 53. Visit a specialist garage to obtain assistance.
Convenience operation of windows One can open and close the windows when opening and closing the vehicle ⇒ page 56. Opening a single door* This function allows one to just unlock
the driver's door. The other doors and the
fuel filler flap remain locked and are only unlocked after repetitive unlocking. You can have the function opening a single
door activated by an authorised Škoda
Service Partner on request or you can activate it yourself with the aid of the Infor- mation display*
⇒page 30.
Automatic locking* All the doors and the boot lid are locked automatically once the car reaches a speed of about 15 km/h. If the ignition key is withdrawn, the car
is then automatically unlocked again. In
addition, it is possible for the driver or front passenger to unlock the car by pressing the central locking button
 ⇒page 46 or by pulling the door opening lever on one
of the front doors. You can have the function of the automatic
locking activated by a specialist garage

WARNING
Locking the doors prevents involuntary
opening in an exceptional situation
(an accident). Locked doors prevent unwanted entry into the vehicle from outside, for example at road crossings. Locked doors do, however, make it more difficult for rescuers to get into
the vehicle in an emergency - danger to
life!
