An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty!
An irregular supply of fuel can lead to
irregular engine running.
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 pressed for about 1 second, the trip
counter is set back to zero. Trip counter for distance driven The trip counter indicates the di

⇒fig. 18
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. 18
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

. 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.

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.•

hedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and

. A zero appears in the display
for the first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory. The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of fuel in the tank for the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for the fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km. The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is
taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner
from this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly. If the memory is set to zero (after disconnecting the battery), the fuel consumption of 10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accord- ingly to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display ⇒ page 22. If you wish to measure the dist
ance driven of a particular time, you
must set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on the windshield wiper lever

certain period of time you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measure-ment using the button on
the windshield wiper lever
