2011 SKODA YETI service interval

On-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this
“Owner's Man-
ual ” as well as a “Service schedule” and a “ Help on the road”. There can
also be a variety of other additional operating manuals and instructions
on-board (e.g. an operating manual for the radio) depending on the ve-
hicle model and equipment.
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a spe-
cialist garage immediately, where one will be glad to assist you in such
matters.
One should note that the details given in the vehicle's technical docu-
mentation always take precedence over those in the Owner's Manual.
Owner's Manual
This Owner's manual describes all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-de-
pendent equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equip-
ment components described in this Owner's manual.
The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales docu-
mentation you were given when purchasing the car. For more informa-
tion, contact your local ŠKODA retailer.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are
only intended for general information.
In addition to information regarding all the controls and equipment, the
Owner's Manual also contains important information regarding care and
operation for your safety and also to retain the value of your vehicle. To
provide you with valuable tips and aids. You will learn how you can op-
erate your vehicle safely, economically and in an environmentally con-
scious way.
For safety reasons, please also pay attention to the information on ac-
cessories, modifications and replacement of parts ⇒  page 207. The other chapters of the Owner's Manual are also important, however,
for proper treatment of your car - in addition to regular care and main-
tenance - helps to retain its value and in many cases is also one of the
conditions for possible warranty claims.
The Service schedule
contains:
● Vehicle data;
● Service intervals;
● Overview of the service work;
● Service proof;
● Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries);
● important information on the warranty.
The confirmations of the carried out service work are one of the condi-
tions for possible warranty claims.
Please always present the Service schedule when you take your car to a
specialist garage.
If the Service schedule is missing or worn, please contact the specialist
garage where your car is serviced regularly. You will receive a duplicate,
in which the previously carried out service work are confirmed.
Help on the road
Contains the most important telephone numbers in individual countries
as well as the addresses and telephone numbers of

ŠKODA importers.2

Engine revolutions counter The red zone of the rev counter scale
1
⇒  fig. 2 indicates the range in which the
engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control unit re-
stricts the engine speed to a steady limit value.
Shift into the next higher gear or select the selector lever position D of the auto-
matic gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale.
Avoid high engine speeds during the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature ⇒ page 162

. For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to reduce the fuel consumption, mini-
mises operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a lon-
ger life and reliability of the engine. 
Speedometer Warning against excessive speeds
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilo-
metres per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehi-
cle speed goes below this speed limit.4 5

This function is only valid for some countries. 
Coolant temperature gauge The coolant temperature gauge
4 ⇒ fig. 2

operates only when the ignition is
switched on.
Please pay attention to the following guidelines regarding temperature ranges in
order to avoid damage to the engine:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at
full throttle and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol  in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol  in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Please refer to the guide-
lines ⇒ page 26, Coolant temperature/Coolant quantity . WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒ page 190
, Working in the engine com-
partment before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level. CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine
overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads! 
Fuel gauge The fuel gauge

The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres or 60 litres
1)
. The warning symbol 
in the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking.
There are now about 10.5 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a re-
minder for you, that you must refuel .
The following is displayed in the information display: Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal. CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular supply of fuel can lead to
irregular engine running. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and dam-
age the catalytic converter. Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the correct fuel
supply quantity is indicated. This effect is not a fault. 
Counter for distance driven The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measuring unit
“mile” is used.
Reset button
If you hold the reset button 7
⇒
 fig. 2 pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter
is set back to zero.
Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since this counter
was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven
The counter for distance driven indicates the total distance in kilometers or miles
which the vehicle has been driven. Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster
Error will appear continuously in the
display. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible by a specialist workshop. WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons! Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the information display the display of the second
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the
counter for the total distance driven. 
Service reminder indicator Fig. 3 Service Interval Display: Note
Depending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ on the
display.
Service Interval Display
Before the next service interval a key symbol  and the remaining kilometres are
indicated after switching on the ignition ⇒ fig. 3 . At the same time, a display ap-
pears regarding the remaining days until the next service interval.
The following is displayed in the information display:

onds as soon as the due date for the service is reached.
The following is displayed in the information display: Service now!
Display regarding the distance and days until the following service interval
You can use the button 3 to display the remaining distance driven and the days
until the next service interval ⇒
 fig. 2.
A key symbol  and a display regarding the remaining kilometres appear for 10
second in the display. At the same time, a display appears regarding the remaining
days until the next service interval.
On vehicles which are equipped with an information display, you can call up this
display in the menu Settings ⇒ page 20.
The following will be displayed in the information display for 10 seconds:
Service after ... km or... days.
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval 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 following service interval to the side of
the dash panel on the driver's side.
Reset the service interval displays by using the reset button 7
⇒  fig. 2 on the trip
counter.
On vehicles which are equipped with an information display, you can call up this
display in the menu Settings ⇒ page 20. CAUTION
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your 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.
● If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must
be entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out
by a specialist garage.
● The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) is displayed as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2).
We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only by an au-
thorised
ŠKODA Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for resetting
the display with a vehicle system tester.
● Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals. 
