Driving and the Environment

Keeping a log of your fuel consumptionIf you really wish to ke
ep a close check on your
fuel consumption
, it is best to enter
the figures in a logbook. This does not take
much time but is a very worthwhile exer-
cise. It enables you to detect any change
(positive and negative) at an early stage
and to take any appropriate action. If you find that your fuel
consumption is too high, you sh
ould reflect on how, where
and in what conditions you have driven
the vehicle since you last refuelled.
Environmental compatibilityEnvironmental protection has played a majo
r role in the design, selection of mate-
rials and manufacture of your new Škoda.
Particular emphasis
has been paid to a
number of aspects, including: Design measures•
joints designed to be easily detached,
•
simplified disassembly due to the modular structure system,
•
improved purity of different classes of materials,
•
Identification of all plastic parts in
accordance with VDA Recommendation 260,
•
Reduced fuel consumption
and exhaust emission CO
2,
•
Minimum fuel leakage during accidents,
•
Reduced noise.
Choice of materials•
extensive use of recyclable material,
•
Air conditioning filled wi
th CFC-free refrigerant,
•
no cadmium,
•
no asbestos,
•
Reduction in the “vaporisation” of plastics.
Manufacture•
solvent-free cavity protection,
•
solvent-free protection of the vehicle for transportation from the production
plant to the customer,•
The use of solvent-free adhesives,
•
No CFCs used in the production process,
•
without use of mercury,
•
Use of water-soluble paints.
Motoring abroadGeneral Other circumstances may exist abroad.It is also possible, in certain countries, that the Škoda Service Partner network is limited or has not been established yet.
This is the reason why obtaining certain
spare parts may be somewhat complicate
d and specialist garage personnel may
o n l y b e a b l e t o m a ke l i m i te d re p a i rs . Š ko d a A u to i n t h e C z e c h R e pu b l i c a n d re l e v a n t importers are happy to provide information
about technical aspects of the vehicle,
required maintenance work and possibilities for getting repairs done.Unleaded petrolA vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded petrol ⇒ page 202. The automobile associations can provide you with information regarding the locations of filling stations which offer unleaded petrol.HeadlightThe low beam of your headlights is set asym
metrically. It illuminates the side of the
road on which you are driving to a greater
extent. If you drive abroad on the other
side of the road, you wi
ll dazzle oncoming traffic.
In order to prevent the dazzling of oncoming
traffic, it is necessary that an adjust-
ment of the headlights is carried out by
your authorised Škoda Service Partner.

Electrically adjustable seats are protected by
automatic circuit breakers
, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been eliminated.
BulbsChanging bulbsThe relevant lamp must always be switch
ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced
with light bulbs of the same type. The
designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb. Changing certain bulbs is not something wh
ich you can do yourself, but requires to
be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to change the light bulbs. This applies, in
particular, to bulbs which can only be
reached from the engine compartment. We therefore recommend that you have an
y bulbs changed by an authorised Škoda
Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by
calling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine co
mpartment is a hazardous area
⇒page 223,
“Working in the engine compartment”. We recommend that you always have a sm
all box of replacement bulbs in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from Škoda original accessories or from a specialist garage
18).
The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.Fitted with a xenon headlightChange of light bulbs on Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and main beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage. Overview of bulbs
