Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)*3
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)*XDS function (Fabia RS and Fabia RS Combi only)
XDS is an extension to the electronic differential lock. XDS does not respond to traction,
but to the relief of the inner front wheel during fast cornering. XDS applies pressure to
the brake of the inner wheel to prevent it fr om spinning. Thus, the traction is improved
and the vehicle follows the desired track.Grades of petrolPrescribed types of fuel - unleaded petrol RON 98/95
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you ca n refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, conti nue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead
to serious engine damage! Refuel with pe trol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emer-
gency. Otherwise you can ca use serious engine damage!
Tyre repair kit*General informationThe tyre repair kit is located in a box un der the carpet in the luggage compartment.
Use the tyre repair kit to re liably repair tyre damage ca used by foreign bodies or a
puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do no t remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or
nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
The repair with the tyre repair kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent repair
on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Do not use the tyre repair kit:•
to repair wheel damage,
•
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
•
with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
•
to repair damage to the tyre wall,
•
when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
•
if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.

Do not place hot tyre inflation hoses or hot air compressors on flammable
materials - risk of fire!

If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage
sustained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. Do
not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance.Caution
Switch off the air compressor after running 8 minutes at the latest - danger of over-
heating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few moments before switching it on
again.Check after driving for 10 minutesCheck the tyre inflation pressu re after driving 10 minutes.If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:–Do not drive the vehicle! You cannot properly seal wi th tyre with the breakdown
kit.
– Obtain professional assistance.If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:– Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler cap).
– Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
