■
One should be constantly vigilant not to allow impermissibly high towing forces
or jerky loadings. There is always a risk of excessive stresses and damage result-
ing at the points to which you attach the tow rope or tow bar when you attempt
to tow a vehicle which is not standing on a paved road.
■ Attach the tow rope or the tow bar to the towing eyes or to the detachable ball
head of the towing device » page 167
or » page 167.Note
■ We recommend using a tow rope from
ŠKODA Original Accessories available
from a ŠKODA Service Partner. ■ Towing another vehicle requires a certain amount of practice. Both drivers
should be familiar with the particular points about towing a vehicle. Unskilled
drivers should not attempt to tow in another vehicle or to be towed in. ■ When towing, respect the national legal provisions, especially those which re-
late to the identification of the towing vehicle and the vehicle being towed. ■ The tow rope must not be twisted as it may in certain circumstances result in
the front towing eye being unscrewed out of your vehicle. ÐFront towing eye

Introductory information
The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-
dence over the details in the Owner's Manual. Please refer to the official vehicle
registration documents or consult a
ŠKODA Service Partner to determine which
engine your vehicle is equipped with.
The listed performance values were determined without performance-reducing
equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand suspension strut dome. This number is al-
so located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen (together
with a VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number is stamped into the engine block. ÐData on the vehicle sticker and the type plate
Fig. 156
Vehicle data sticker/type plate Vehicle data sticker
The vehicle data sticker » Fig. 156 is located on the floor of the boot and is also
stated in the service schedule.
The vehicle data sticker contains the following data:
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Vehicle type
Gearbox code/paint number/interior equipment/engine output/engine code
Partial vehicle description
Operating weight (in

kg)
Fuel consumption (in ltr./100 km) - intra-urban/extra-urban/combined
CO 2 emission levels - combined (in g/km)
Type plate
The type plate » Fig. 156 is located on the lower part of the column between the
front and rear doors on the front passenger's side.
The type plate lists the following weights: Maximum permissible gross weight
Maximum permissible towed weight (towing vehicle and trailer)
Maximum permissible front axle load
Maximum permissible rear axle load
Operating weight
The specified operating weight is for orientation purposes only. This value repre-
sents the minimum operating weight without additional weight-increasing equip-
ment such as air conditioning system, spare wheel, or trailer hitch.
The operating weight also contains the weight of the driver (75 kg), the weight of
the operating fluids, the tool kit, and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
It is possible to calculate the approximate loading capacity from the difference
between the permissible total weight and the operating weight » .
The payload consists of the following components:
› Passengers
› All items of luggage and other loads
› Roof load including roof rack system
› Equipment not included in the operating weight
› Trailer drawbar load when towing a trailer (max. 50 kg).
Measuring fuel consumption according to ECE standards and EU guidelines
The measurement of the intra-urban cycle begins with a cold start of the engine.
Afterwards urban driving is simulated. £ 1

Specifications and engine oil capacity
The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use through-
out the year - except in extreme climate zones.
Various oils can be mixed together when refilling. However, this does not apply to
vehicles with flexible service intervals.
Engine oils are, of course, undergoing continuous further development. Thus the
information stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publica-
tion.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by
ŠKODA. We
therefore recommend that the oil change is completed by a ŠKODA Service Part-
ner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
The oil capacities include oil filter change. Check the oil level when filling; do not
over fill. The oil level must be between the markings » page 141.

B3 or ACEA B4
can be used once for refilling. CAUTION
Only the above-mentioned oils can be used on vehicles with flexible service inter-
vals. We recommend always refilling with oil of the same specification since this
will maintain the properties of the oil. In exceptional cases, a maximum of 0.5

l of
specification VW 502 00 (only for petrol engines) or specification VW 505 01 (only
for diesel engines) engine oil can be used to refill once. Other engine oils must
not be used - risk of engine damage! Note
■ Before a long drive we recommend that you purchase and carry with you engine
oil which complies with the specification for your vehicle. ■ We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories. Ð 179
