Using the system
■
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.
■ 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 recom-
mend that the Service Interval Display is only reset by a
ŠKODA Service Partner,
who will reset the display with a vehicle system tester.
■ For more information on the service intervals » Service Plan. ÐDigital clock
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The clock is set with the buttons 5
and 6
» Fig. 2 on page 8.
Select the display that you wish to change with the button 5
and carry out the
change with the button 6
.
On vehicles that are fitted with the information display, it is also possible to set
the clock in the menu Time » page 15. ÐRecommended gear
Fig. 3
Recommended gear
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The currently engaged gear B
is shown in the instrument cluster display
» Fig. 3.
In order to minimise the fuel consumption, a recommendation for shifting into an-
other gear is indicated in the display.
ä
ä If the control unit recognises that it is beneficial to change gear, an arrow A
is
shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether you
should shift into a higher or lower gear.
At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently en-
gaged gear B
.
CAUTION
The driver is always responsible for selecting the correct gear in different driving
situations, such as overtaking. Ð Multifunction display (onboard computer)

The multifunction display can only be operated when the ignition is switched on.
After the ignition is switched on, the function displayed is the one which you last

The multi-functional indicator appears in the display » Fig. 4
on page 12.
In vehicles with an information display » page 14, there is an option to fade out
some of the information. WARNING

sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. ■ Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature dis-
play that there is no ice on the road. Even at temperatures around +4 °C, black
ice may still be on the road surface – warning, drive with care! £
