Engine revolutions counterThe red zone of the rev counter scale
⇒page 16, fig. 15
indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to limi
t the engine speed. The engine control unit
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit value. Shift into the next higher gear or select th
e selector lever position D of the automatic
gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale. Avoid high engine speeds du
ring the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature
⇒page 173.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you sa
ve fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.
SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds* An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will sw
itch off again when the vehicle speed goes
below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge
⇒page 16, fig. 15
operates only when the ignition
is switched on. In order to avoid any damage to the engine,
please pay attention to
the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid runni
ng at high engine speeds, at full throttle
and at severe engine loads. The operating range The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may
also move further to the right at high
engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the warning symbol
in the instrument cl
uster does not flash.
If the symbol
in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature
is too high or the coolant
level
is too low. Observe the guidelines
⇒ page 34, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
⇒page 204, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonn
et and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet impair the cooling efficiency
of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge
⇒page 16, fig. 15
only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of
about 60 litres. The warning symbol
in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 10.5 litres of fuel remaining in the ta
nk. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you
must refuel
.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.

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 reset button

ResetCaution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se
rvice Interval Display yourself otherwise
this can result in the service interval displa
y 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 Inte
rval Display also after the battery of the
vehicle is disconnected.•
If the instrument cluster is exchanged after 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 inter-
vals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service In
terval Display reset
only by an author-
ised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display with a vehicle system tester.•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about the
service intervals.

Single-trip memory (memory 1) The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation 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 da
ta 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

•
when switching on the defective light bulb.
The following text e.g will be displayed in the information display*:
Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate lighting require several light bulbs. The indi- cator light
only lights up if all light bulbs of
the licence plate lighting or the parking
light (in one rear light unit) are defective.
Check regularly the function of the light
bulbs.Diesel particle filter*
(diesel engine)
If the warning light
comes on, this means that soot
has accumulated in the diesel
particle filter because of the frequent short distances. In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1
800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until
the warning light goes out with the 4th or
5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: posi-
tion S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits
⇒
.
The warning light
goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle filter.
If the filter is not properly
cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash. In the in
formation display* appears
Diesel-particle
Owner's manual
. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the emer-
gency mode, which only has a reduced power
output. After switchin
g the ignition off
and on again the warning light
comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without
delay by your specialist garage.
