It is therefore the case that EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for certain periods of the year which can also be purchased at the co
rresponding time during the year. “Winter-
grade diesel fuel” will still operate properly even at a temperature of -20°C. It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel fuels avail- able have a different temperature characte
ristic. The authorised Škoda Service Part-
ners and filling stations in the country concer
ned will be able to provide you with infor-
mation regarding the diesel fuels available. Prewarming fuel The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures operation of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temperature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel
additives on the market, including petrol, to
diesel fuel in order to im
prove its flow properties.

WARNING
Pay attention to any legal requirements if
you do carry a spare canister in the
vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for safety reasons. The canister can be damaged
in the event of an accident and fuel
may leak out.
Caution
•
Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxiliary
heating and ventilation) *.•
Remove any fuel which has spilled onto th
e paintwork of your vehicle immediately
- risk of paint damage!•
On vehicles fitted with a ca
talytic converter, never let the fuel tank run completely
empty. An irregular supply of fuel to the engine can result in misfiring and unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system, which may result in overheating and damage to the catalytic converter.

– Align the lifting jack* so that its claw grasps the web of the lower sill at the height
of the marking on the plasti
c cover and the base plate
is resting flat with its
complete surface ag
ainst firm ground.
– Turn the lifting jack* up further until
the wheel is just cl
ear of the ground.
Ground below the lifting jack which is soft and slippery
can cause the vehicle to slip
off the jack. It is therefore always necessary
to place the lifting jack* on a solid surface
or use a wide and stable base. Use a non-sl
ip base (e.g. a rubber foot mat) if the
surface is smooth
, such as cobbled stones, a tiled floor, etc.
WARNING
•
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed - risk of injury!
•
Take suitable measures to prevent the base of the lifting jack from slipping
off - risk of injury!•
Not positioning the lifting jack at the specified points can result in damage
to the vehicle. The jack can also slip off if it does not have sufficient grip - risk of injury!•
It is important to support the vehicle with suitable supporting blocks if you
wish to work under the lifted vehicle - risk of injury!Securing wheels against being stolen* You need a special adapter for sl
ackening the safety wheel bolts.
– Pull off the full wheel trim/cap from the wheel hub or cap from the safety wheel
bolt.
– Insert the adapter with its toothed side into the inner toothing of the head of
the safety wheel bolt
⇒fig. 188
.
– Insert the wheel wrench fully onto the adapter .– Slacken the wheel bolt, or tighten it firmly
⇒page 227.
– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or place the cap
onto the safety wheel bolt.
– Have the
tightening torque
checked
with a torque wrench as soon as possible.
Steel and light alloy wheels must be tightened to a tightening torque of
120 Nm
.
The safety wheel bolts on vehicles fitted with them (one safety wheel bolt per wheel) can only be loosened or tighten
up by using the adapter provided.
It is meaningful to note th
e code number hammered into the rear side of the adapter
or the rear side of the safety wheel bolts.
You can obtain a replacement adapter from
an authorised Škoda Service Partner, if necessary, by quoting this number. We recommend that you always carry the ad
apter for the wheel bolts with you in the
vehicle. It should be stow
ed in the vehicle tool kit.
Caution
Damage can occur to the adapter and safety wh
eel bolt if the safety wheel bolt is tight-
ened up too much.
