2010 SKODA SUPERB engine

“START - STOP”*
2
“START - STOP”*The “START-STOP” system helps you to save fuel while at the same time reducing
harmful exhaust emissions and CO
2 emissions.
The function is automatically activated ea ch time the ignition is switched on.
In the start-stop mode, the engine automatica lly switches to the vehicle's idle phase,
e.g. when stopped at traffic lights.
Information regarding the current state of th e “START-STOP” system is indicated in the
display of the instrument cluster.
Automatic engine shut down (stop phase)– Stop the vehicle (where nece ssary, apply the handbrake).
– Take the vehicle out of gear.
– Take your foot off the clutch.Automatic engine restart (start phase).– Push down on the clutch.Switching the “START-STOP” system on and offYou can switch the “START STOP” syst em on/off by pressing the button fig. 2 .
When start-stop mode is deactivated, the warning light in the button lights up.
If the vehicle is in the stop phase when ma nually switching off the system, the engine
starts immediately. The “START-STOP” system is very complex. Some of the procedures are hard to check
without servicing. The general conditions
for the proper functioning of the “START-
STOP” system are listed in the following overview.

WARNING
•
The brake servo unit and power steerin g only operate if the engine is
running.
•
Never let the vehicle roll with the engine switched off.Caution
If the “START-STOP” system is used at very high outside temperatures over a very long
period of time, the vehicle battery can be damaged.
Note
•
Changes to the outdoor temperature can have an effect on the internal tempera-
ture of the vehicle battery even after severa l hours. If the vehicle remains outdoors for
a long time in minus temperatures or in dire ct sunlight, it can take several hours until
the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for
proper operation of the “START STOP” system.
•
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the igni-
tion key (e.g. when the seat belt is not insert ed or the driver's door is opened for more
than 30 seconds). Follow the messages in the display of the instrument cluster.
•
If the air conditioning Climatronic* is running in automatic mode, under certain
conditions, the engine may no t switch off automatically.

Recommended settings for the Climatic control elements:AUX-IN* and MDI* inputsThe MDI input is located underneath the arm rest of the front passenger seat.Grades of petrolPrescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
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!
RefuellingThe air relief valve in the filler tube of the fuel tank is not part of the equipment installed
in the vehicle.

Replacement valve core
The valve remover has a slot at its lower end which fits into the valve core. This is
the only way in which you can remove and re-i nstall the valve core from the tyre valve.
The same also applies to the replacement valve core .
Preparing to use the tyre repair kitBefore using the tyre repair kit, carry out the following preparatory work:
– Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat and firm
a surface as possible.
–Have all the occupants get out. While changing a wheel, the occupants of the
vehicle should not stand on the road (instead of behind a crash barrier).
– Switch off the engine and engage 1st gear or if your vehicle is fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox, position the selector lever into position P .
– Apply the handbrake firmly.
– Check whether you can carry out the repairs with the tyre repair kit page 6,
“General information”.
– If a trailer is coupled, uncouple it.
– Remove the tyre repair kit from the luggage compartment.
– Stick the sticker page 6, fig. 5 on the dash panel in view of the driver.
– Do not remove the foreign body, e.g. screw or nail, from the tyre.
– Unscrew the valve cap. – Use the valve remover to remove the valve core and place it down on a clean
surface.
Seal and inflate tyresSealing tyres– Forcefully shake the tyre inflator bottle page 6, fig. 5 several times.
– Firmly screw inflation hose onto the tyre inflator bottle in a clockwise direction . The film on the cap is pierced automatically.
– Remove the plug from the inflation hose and plug the open end fully into the tyre valve.
– Hold the bottle with the floor facing upwards and fill the whole sealing agent in the tyre inflator bottle into the tyres.
– Remove the empty tyre inflator bottle from the valve.
– Screw the valve core back into the tyre valve using the valve remover .Pumping up the tyres– Screw the tyre inflation hose page 6, fig. 5 of the air compressor firmly onto
the tyre valve.
– Check whether the air re lease valve is closed.
– Start the engine and run it in idle.
– Plug the cable connector into the 12 Vo lt socket in the vehicle, see Owner's
manual.
– Switch on the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch .
– Allow the air compressor to run until reachi ng a pressure of 2.0 - 2.5 bar. Maximum
run time of 8 minutes !
– Switch off the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch.
– If you cannot reach an air pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, unscrew the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.

Tow-starting and towing vehicle
8
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forw ards or backwards to allow the sealing
agent to distribute in the tyre.
– Screw the tyre inflation hose of the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre
valve and repeat the inflation procedure.
– If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the break-
down kit .
– Switch off the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch.
– Remove the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.
After reaching a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, resume driving at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes page 8, “Check after
driving for 10 minutes”.
WARNING
•
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot-
risk of injury!
•
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 with 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). Tow-starting and towing vehicleGeneral
Caution
Do not push or two the vehicle to start the engine - likely engine damage! In vehicles
with catalytic converters, fuel may get into the catalytic converter where it may ignite.
This results in the catalytic converter overheating and being destroyed. To help start
the engine, you can use a battery from another vehicle, see Owner's manual.Electric fusesFuse assignment in engine compartment - version 1
