Resetting Service Interval Display
After resetting the display with flexible service intervals, the displayed data is the
same as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals. We therefore recommend
that the Service Interval Display is only reset by a ŠKODA Partner, who will reset
the display with a vehicle system tester.
The ŠKODA Partner:
› Resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection
› Adds an entry to the Service Schedule
› Affixes the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of
the dashboard on the driver's side.
It can be reset with the button 6
» Fig. 2 on page 9.
› Switch off the ignition.
› Press the button
6
and keep it pressed down.
› Switch on the ignition.
› Release the button
6
and press again.
CAUTION
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself as this
can result in the incorrect setting of the Service Interval Display, which can also
cause possible problems with the operation of your vehicle.
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 .
Warning lights
Auto Check Control
Certain functions and conditions of individual vehicle systems are checked contin-
uously when the ignition is switched on.
Error messages and/or other information are displayed in the instrument cluster display. The messages are displayed at the same time as the symbols in the dis-
play and/or the warning lights » page 12.
Depending on the meaning, the icon or together with the message appears
in the bar with the warning lights
5
» Fig. 2 on page 9.
SymbolDescriptionWarningDanger
While the operational faults remain unrectified, the messages are always indica-
ted again. After they are displayed for the first time, the symbols
or
continue
to be indicated without any extra messages for the driver.
WARNINGIf you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
light system » page 49. The warning triangle must be set up at the prescri-
bed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.
Overview
The warning lights show the following functions/faults and may be accompanied by audible signals.
When switching on the ignition, some indicator lights illuminate briefly as a func-
tion test. These indicator lights will disappear several seconds after the vehicle is
started.

Outside temperature
The current outside temperature is indicated in the display of the instrument cluster.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C while driving, a snow flake symbol
(warning signal for ice on the road) appears before the temperature indicator and
an audible signal will sound.
If the outside temperature is less than +4 °C when the ignition is turned on, a
snow flake symbol appears in the display and an acoustic signal sounds. After
pressing the rocker switch
A
or the adjustment wheel
D
» Fig. 3 on page 22,
the function shown last is indicated.
WARNINGEven at temperatures around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road surface!
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature dis-
play that there is no ice on the road.
Recommended gear
In order to minimise the fuel consumption, a recommendation for shifting into an- other gear is indicated in the display.
Information about the currently-selected gear is shown in the upper part of the
display. When the system determines that a change in gear is required, the arrow
symbol
and the recommended gear appears next to the current gear indication.
For instance, if
appears in this display, this means it is recommended that
you shift from 3rd into 4th gear.
WARNINGThe driver is always responsible for selecting the correct gear in different driv-
ing situations, such as overtaking.
Door, boot lid and bonnet warning
If at least one door is open, or the boot or bonnet is open, the instrument cluster
display indicates the relevant open door or boot/bonnet.
An acoustic signal will also sound if you drive the vehicle above 6 km/h.
Eco tips
To minimise fuel consumption, fuel economy tips can appear in the display.
Eco tips are indicated next to the letters ECO-TIP.
For instance, if the air-condition is on and a window is open, the following mes- sage appears ECO TIP Air conditioning switched on: close windows.
Eco tips display must be activated in the Infotainment » operating instructions for
Infotainment , chapter Vehicle settings .
21Information system
Automatic lockingFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 37.
If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is automatically
locked right away as soon as it is closed.
This feature can be activated/deactivated by a ŠKODA Partner.
Delayed locking
If the boot lid was unlocked with the button
on the remote control key, then it
is possible to open the lid within a limited period of it being closed.
There is a risk of unwanted entry into the vehicle before the boot lid is locked au- tomatically. Always lock the vehicle using the button
on the remote control or
with the key if no remote control is available » page 31.
Note
More detailed information is available from your authorised ŠKODA Partner.

Electrical power windows
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Opening/closing the window from the driver seat
39
Opening the windows in the front passenger door and in the rear doors
40
Force limiter
40
Window convenience operation
40
Operational faults in the automatic power windows
41
The electrical power windows can only be operated when the ignition is switched
on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The electrical power windows are only switched off com- pletely once the driver's door or front passenger door are opened.
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
The prerequisite for ensuring that the convenience operating feature correctly is the automatic opening/closing of all windows is operational.
WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 40. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully! Otherwise
these can cause severe crushing injuries!
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrical power windows in the rear
doors (safety pushbutton)

his responsibility to check the headlights and light beam and, if necessary, to
switch on the lights depending on the light conditions. Manual operation may be required in the following situations:■
in poor visibility conditions, e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall;
■
on A roads or motorways when oncoming traffic is partially obscured;
■
when passing poorly lit traffic, e.g. cyclists;
■
around sharp curves;
■
on sharp slopes up/down;
■
while driving through poorly-lit villages;
■
while driving over highly reflective surfaces;
■
when the windscreen around the camera is dirty, iced up, misted up, or cov-
ered up by stickers;
■
when an external navigation system is attached to the windscreen.
