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 fuel gauge
displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault. ÐCounter for distance driven
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
Daily trip counter (trip)
The trip counter shows the distance driven since the time the counter was last
reset.
To reset the display of the daily trip counter, press button
7
» Fig. 2 on page 8
for longer.
Odometer
The odometer indicates the total distance in kilometres 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. Ensure the fault is rectified as soon as possible by
ŠKODA a specialist ga-
rage. Note
For vehicles fitted with the information display, if 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. ÐService Interval Display
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.ä
ä Service Interval Display
Before the next service interval, a key symbol
 and the remaining kilometres
are indicated on the display for several seconds after switching on the ignition. At
the same time, the remaining days until the next service interval are displayed.
The following is displayed in the information display:
Service in ... km or ... days.
The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100

km or, where
applicable, days until the service due date is reached.
As soon as the due date for the service is reached, a flashing key symbol  and
the text Service appears in the display for several seconds after the ignition has
been switched on.
The following is displayed in the information display:
Service now!
Displaying the distance and days until the next service interval
You can use the button 3
to display the remaining distance and days until the
next service interval » Fig. 2 on page 8

.
A key symbol  and the remaining distance appear for several seconds in the
display. At the same time, the remaining days until the next service interval are
displayed.
On vehicles which are equipped with the information display, you can call up this
display in the menu Settings » page 16.
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 in the instrument cluster display.
We recommend that this reset is completed by a ŠKODA specialist garage.
The ŠKODA specialist garage: › 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
Reset the service interval display by using the reset button 7
»
Fig. 2 on page 8.
On vehicles which are equipped with the information display, you can reset the
Service Interval Display in the menu Settings » page 16. £
10 Using the system

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
■ Never reset the display between service intervals, as this will result in the incor-
rect display. ■ 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. ■ 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 3
and 7
» Fig. 2 on page 8.
Select the display that you wish to change with the button 3
and carry out the
change with the button 7
.
On vehicles that are fitted with the information display, it is also possible to set
the clock in the menu Time » page 16. Ð
ä Recommended gear
Fig. 3
Recommended gear
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The currently engaged gear A
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.
If the control unit recognises that it is beneficial to change gear, an arrow B
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 A
.
CAUTION
The driver is always responsible for selecting the correct gear in different driving
situations, such as overtaking. Ð

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Memory 12
Operation 13
Multifunction display details 13
Warning against excessive speeds 15
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
selected before switching off the ignition.
The multifunction display appears in the display » Fig. 5
on page 12 or in the in-
formation display » page 15.
On vehicles with an information display, there is an option to fade out some of
the information. ä WARNING
■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
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! CAUTION
Pull out the ignition key if coming in contact with the display (e.g. when cleaning)
to prevent any possible damage. Note
■ In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas-
ures. ■ If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is not
indicated in km/h on the display. Ð Memory
Fig. 5
Multifunction display
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 12.
The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The selected
memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 5.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the dis-
play. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance mem-
ory (memory

2). £

12 Using the system

Switching over the memory using the button B
» Fig. 6 on page 13 on the wind-
screen wiper lever or using the adjustment wheel D
on the multifunction steer-
ing wheel.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig-
nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal-
culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours
after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours,
the memory is automatically erased.
Total-trip memory (memory 2)
The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to
a total of 19
hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi-
cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and
59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei-
ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period
of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note
All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis-
connected. ÐOperation
