Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service In terval 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 follo wing service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
This can be reset as follows: Press the button page 15, fig. 15 and keep it
pressed down, start the ignition, release the button and turn it to the left or right.
Caution
We recommend you ask a specialist garage to reset the service interval display.
Incorrectly setting the service interval display can cause problems to the 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.
•
The service interval display will need to be re-configured if the instrument
cluster is replaced. Contact a specialist garage. This work is carried out by a
specialist garage.
•
The data displayed is the same after rese tting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as th at for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by an authorised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for reset-
ting the display with a vehicle system tester.
•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
Digital clockYou can set the time with the rotary knob page 15, fig. 15 .
Select the information which you wish to change by turning the button and carry
out the change of the selected information by pressing the button.
WARNING
The clock should not be adjusted while dr iving for safety reasons but only when
the vehicle is stationary!

Anti-theft alarm system*DescriptionThe anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against people
seeking to break into the vehicle. The system triggers audible and visual warning
signals if an attempt is made to break into the vehicle.
How is the alarm system activated?
The anti-theft alarm system is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked
with the key on the closed dr iver's door or by using the radio remote control. It is
activated 30 seconds after locking the door.
How is the alarm system deactivated?
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if the vehicle is unlocked by only using
the radio remote control. The vehicle is automatically locked again if the vehicle is
not opened within 30 seconds after re activating the anti-theft alarm system.
Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting th e key into the driver door you then have
to insert the key into the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds
after opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm
will be triggered if you do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.
