Vehicles running on petrol
The fuel gauge
» Fig. 4 only operates if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 35 litres. If the fuel gauge in the fuel tank
reaches the reserve capacity level, the warning symbol  » Fig. 4 -  will appear
in the Instrument cluster. or the symbol  will flash for 10 seconds together with
the remaining segments in the instrument cluster display » Fig. 4 - . There are
now about 4 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you must refuel .
An audible signal sounds as a warning signal.
Vehicles running on CNG (compressed natural gas)
The fuel gauge » Fig. 5 only operates if the ignition is switched on.
When the vehicle runs on petrol, the pointer of the fuel gauge is in the range 1
» Fig. 5. When the vehicle runs on CNG, the pointer of the fuel gauge is in the
range 2
.
If the fuel level in the fuel tank for petrol reaches the reserve level, the warning
symbol  will appear in the instrument cluster. The pointer is in the red range of
the gauge 1
» Fig. 5. There are now about 5 litres of fuel remaining in the tank.
If the fuel level in the fuel tank for CNG reaches the reserve level, the warning
symbol  will appear in the instrument cluster. The pointer is in the red range of
the gauge 2
» Fig. 5. There are now about 1.5

kg of fuel remaining in the tank. Ð Engine revolutions counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The red scale of the rev counter 5
» Fig. 3 on page 8 indicates the range in which
the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control unit
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
Before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale, shift up into the next high-
er gear.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 10. £

Instruments and warning lights

Avoid high engine speeds during the running-in period and before the engine has
warmed up to the operating temperature . For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to lower fuel consumption, minimises
operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life
and reliability of the engine. ÐCounter for distance driven
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
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

ton 3
» Fig. 2 on page

8 or » Fig. 3 on page 8.
To reset the display of the daily trip counter, press button 3
for longer.
Daily trip counter (trip)
The daily trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since it was
last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance in kilometres or miles which the vehicle
has been driven. ÐService Interval Display
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
Before the next service interval, the message
  appears for some seconds and
the remaining kilometres are indicated after switching on the ignition.
At the time of the service, an acoustic signal will sound and the message  

 ap-

› Affixes the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of
the dashboard on the driver's side Note
■ Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle bat-
tery 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 ŠKODA specialist garage. ■ For more information on the service intervals » Service Plan. Ð Recommended gear
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
An information for the engaged gear is shown in the display of the instrument
