Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights25
Using the system
Safety
Driving Tips
General Maintenance
Breakdown assistance
Technical Data
The glow plug indicator light will come on
for about 1 second if the engine is at a
normal operating temperature or if the outside temperature is above +5 °C. This
means that you can start the engine right away .
There is a fault in the glow plug system if the warning light
 does not come on
at all or lights up continuously . Contact a specialist garage as soon as possible to
obtain assistance.
If the warning light
 begins to flash while driving, a fault exists in the engine
control. The engine management system selects an emergency programme which
enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of
driving.
Coolant temperature/coolant level

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too low if the warning light
 does not go out or flashes while driving.
3 peeps sound as an additional warning signal.
In this case stop and switch the engine off and check the coolant level; top up the
coolant as necessary.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under the condi-
tions prevailing to top up with coolant. Keep the engine switched off and obtain
professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it could lead to severe
engine damage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the coolant fan. Check the fuse for the coolant
fan, replace it if necessary page 157, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment”.
Do not continue driving if the warning light does not go off although the fluid is at
the correct level and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order. Contact a specialist
garage to obtain assistance.
Please also refer to the additional instructions page 133, “Cooling system”.
WARNING
•
If you must stop for technical reason s, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic and switch o ff the engine and switch on the hazard
warning light system page 42.
•
Take care when opening the coolant exp ansion bottle. If the engine is hot,
the cooling system is pressuri zed - risk of scalding! It is best to allow the engine
to cool down before removing the cap.
•
Do not touch the coolant fan The coolant fan may switch on automatically
even if the ignition is off.
Traction control system (TCS)

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The warning light flashes when a control cycle is activated while driving.
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the system.
The fact that the TCS system operates to gether with the ABS means that the TCS
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light  comes on immediately after starting the engine, the TCS
system can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the TCS system can
be switched on again by switching the igniti on on and off. If the warning light goes
out, the TCS system is fully functional again.
Further information about the TCS page 106, “Traction control system (TCS)”.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
 comes
on after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after driving a
short distance.
Switch off the Traction control system (TCS)

The TCS system is switched off by pressing the button page 106, fig. 112 and the
warning light lights up
.
Electronic stability programme (ESP)*

The warning light
 comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
When the ESP system is actively helping to stabilise the vehicle, the warning light
in the instrument cluster
 flashes quickly.
The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the ESP system.
The fact that the ESP system operates to gether with the ABS means that the ESP
warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.

Heating and air conditioning system
72
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted ai r outside the vehicle from getting into the
vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.Switching recirculated air mode on– Press the button page 70, fig. 82 the warning light lights up in the
button.Switching recirculated air mode off– Once again press the button . The warning light in the button goes out.
The recirculated air mode is switched off au tomatically if the air distribution control
is in position
  page 70, fig. 82 . You can also switch recirculated air mode on
again from this setting by re peatedly pressing pushbutton .
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as
“stale” air may result in fatigue in the dr iver and occupants, divert your attention
and also cause the windows to mist up. Th e risk of having an accident increases.
Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the air conditioning system uses power from the engine when
in cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the interior
has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to allow the
heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be switched on while travelling when the window is
open.
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the
cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you also reduce pollutant emissions.Operational malfunctionsIf the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C,
there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:•
The fuse on the air conditioning system has blown. Check the fuse, replace it if
necessary page 156.
•
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot page 16.
If you are not able to rectify the operat ional problem yourself, or if the cooling
capacity decreases, switch the cooling system off. Contact a specialist garage.

Starting-off and Driving75
Using the system
Safety
Driving Tips
General Maintenance
Breakdown assistance
Technical Data
Petrol enginesThese engines are fitted with a starter system which selects the correct fuel-air
mixture for every external air temperature.•
Do not operate accelerator before and when starting engine.
•
Interrupt the attempt at star ting after 10 seconds if the engine does not start
right away and wait for about 30 seconds before repe ating the attempt.
•
It is possible that the fuse on the electrical fuel pump is defect if the engine still
does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary page 156.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
It may be necessary, if the engine is very hot, to slightly depress the accelerator
after the engine has started.
Diesel enginesGlow plug system
Diesel engines are equipped with a glow plug system, the preglow period being
controlled automatically in line with the coolant temperature and outside tempera-
ture.
The preglow indicator light
 comes on after the ignition has been switched on.
You should not switch on any major elec trical components during the heating
period otherwise the vehicle battery will be drained unnecessarily.
•
You should start the engine immediately after the glow plug warning light

has gone out.
•
The glow plug warning light will come on for about one second if the engine is
at a normal operating temperature or if th e outside temperature is above +5 °C. This
means that you can start the engine right away .
•
Interrupt the attempt at starting after 10 seconds if the engine does not start
right away and wait for about 30 seconds before repe ating the attempt.
•
It is possible that the fuse on the diesel preglow system is defect if the engine
still does not start. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary page 156.
•
Contact the nearest specialist garage to obtain professional assistance.
Starting the engine after the fuel tank has run dry
It may take longer than normal to start the engine after refuelling if the fuel tank
has run completely dry - up to one minute. This is because the fuel system must first
of all be filled while the attempting to start the engine.
Switching off the engine– The engine can be switched off by tur ning the ignition key into position
 page 73, fig. 84 .
WARNING
•
Never switch off the engine before the ve hicle is stationary - risk of accident!
•
The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater phys-
ical effort for braking is required when en gine is switched off. Because if you do
not stop as normal, this can caus e an accident and severe injuries.Caution
you should not switch the engine off right away at the end of your journey after the
engine has been operated for a lengthy period at high loads but should be allowed
it to run at idling speed for about 2 minutes . This prevents any accumulation of heat
when the engine is switched off.
Note
•
The radiator fan may continue running for a further 10 minutes or so after the
engine and the ignition have been switched off. The coolant fan may, however, also
switch on again after some time if the coolant temperature rises because of an
a c c um ul a tio n o f he a t i n the en g in e o r i f the engine is warm and the engine compart-
ment is additionally heat ed by strong sunlight.
•
This is why particular care is required when carrying out any work in the engine
compartment page 131, “Working in the engine compartment”.

Fuses and light bulbsElectric fusesReplacing fuses
Defect fuses must be replaced.Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located on the left
side of the dash panel behind the safety cover and under the cover in the engine
compartment on the left.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel
fig. 143 or the fuse cover in the engine compartment page 157.
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component page 158, “Fuse
assignment in the dash panel” or page 157, “Fuse assignment in engine
compartment”.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the respec- tive fuse and pull out this fuse.
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you always have the small box of replacement fuses in your
vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses from Škoda original accessories or from
a specialist garage
8). Colour coding of fuses
Caution
•
Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also
do not replace them with a fuse of a
higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the
electrical system.
•
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage
if a newly inserted fuse bl ows again after a short time.
