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
page 15 on the trip
counter. On vehicles which are equipped with inform
ation display*, you ca
n call up this infor-
mation in the menu

page 23.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Se
rvice Interval Display
yourself otherwise
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 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.Digital clockThe time is set with the buttons and

Technical Data
In order to minimise the fuel consumptio
n, a recommendation for shifting into
another gear is indicated in the display. If the control unit recognises that it is a
ppropriate to change the gear, an arrow is
shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether it is recom- mended to shift into a higher or lower gear. At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently engaged gear .Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display
fig. 18
or in the information
display
page 22 depending on the equipm
ent fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers
you a range of us
eful information:
On vehicles which are fitted out with information display*, it is possible to switch off the display of some information.
Note

In certain national versions th
e displays appear in the Imperial system of measures.

If the display of the second speed is acti
vated in mph, the current speed* is not
indicated in km/h on the display.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equi
pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in
the middle of the display field
fig. 18
.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a
1 appears in the display.
A 2 shown in the display means that data
relates to the total distance memory
(memory 2). Switching over the memory takes place with the button
page 20, fig. 19
on the
windshield wiper lever. 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 automatica
lly 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
data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1.999 kilometres driven and on vehicles which are fitted with informatio
n display* 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.

draulic power steering operates.
Never let the vehicle roll wi
th the engine switched off.
Caution
If the “START-STOP” system is used at very
high outside temperatures over a longer
period of time, the vehicl
e battery can be damaged.
Note

A change in ambient temperature can affect the temperature inside the battery
with several hours delay. For example, if
the vehicle is standing outside for a long
period of time at a temperature below freezi
ng, or vice versa under
direct sunlight, it
may take several hours until the temperat
ure inside the battery reaches the appro-
priate temperature for the START-STOP system.
In some cases, it is necessary to manually start the engine using the key (for
example, if the driver's seat belt is not fastened or if the driver door is open for a period of more than 30 seconds during the stop
phase). Pay attention to the relevant
messages in the instrument cluster.
If the Climatronic* is switched into the automatic mode, this may in certain circum-
stances prevent the automatic engine shut down.
