ised service station, which employs properly qualified staff, while observing
the corresponding sa fety instructions.•
The pressure tanks must not be exposed to a heat source.
•
In the event of an accident or fire in the vehicle, always switch off the igni-
tion!Note
•
Please refer to the information and warning messages in the information display.
•
Have the LPG system inspected regularly by a specialist garage in accordance with
the service schedule page 6, “Service work”.
•
In countries where no Škoda service network is available, we recommend to solely
use petrol as fuel.
Quality and consumption of LPGThe quality demands on LPG are stipulated in the EN 589 standard uniformly across
Europe and therefore ensure a cross-border use without any problem.
There is a distinction between winter LPG and summer LPG. Winter LPG has a higher
percentage of propane. This can cause your vehicle to have a higher consumption with
winter LPG than with summer LPG.
The consumption is around 10 - 15 % higher than when using petrol for the same style
of driving.
