Tyre control display
Fig. 153
Button for setting the tyre infla-
tion pressure control value
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 181.
The tyre control display compares the speed and thus the rolling circumference of
the individual wheels with the help of the ABS sensors. If the rolling circumfer-
ence of a wheel is changed, the indicator light
in the instrument clus-
ter » page 24, Tyre control display and an audible signal sounds.
The rolling circumference of the tyre can change if: › the tyre inflation pressure is too low;
› the structure of the tyre is damaged;
› the vehicle is loaded on one side;
› the wheels of an axle are loaded heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or when
driving uphill or downhill);
› snow chains are mounted;
› the temporary spare wheel is mounted;
› one wheel per axle was changed.
Basic setting of the system
After changing the tyre inflation pressure, after changing one or several wheels,
the position of a wheel on the vehicle (e.g. exchanging the wheels between the
axles) or when the indicator light lights up while driving, a basic setting of the
system must be carried out as follows:
› Inflate all of the tyres to the specified inflation pressure
» page 182, Service life
of tyres.
› Switch on the ignition.
ä
›
Press and hold the button
» Fig. 153 for longer than 2
seconds. While
pressing the button, the indicator light illuminates. At the same time the sys-
tem memory is erased and the new calibration is started, which is confirmed
with an audible signal and then the indicator light goes out.
› If the indicator light
does not go out after the basic setting, this indicates a
system fault. Seek help from a ŠKODA specialist garage.
The indicator light is lit
If the tyre inflation pressure of at least one wheel is insufficiently inflated in com-
parison to the stored basic value, the indicator light » lights up.
The indicator light flashes
If the indicator light flashes, there is a system fault. Seek help from a
ŠKODA spe-
cialist garage to correct the fault. WARNING
■ When the indicator light illuminates, immediately reduce the speed and
avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres. Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible and inspect the tyres and their inflation pressure.
■ Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the indicator light can be delayed or does not light up at all.
■ The tyre control display does not absolve the driver of the responsibility to
ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure. For this reason, the tyre inflation
pressure must be checked regularly. Note
■ The tyre control display does therefore not replace the regular tyre inflation
pressure control, as the system cannot detect an even loss of pressure. ■ The tyre control display cannot provide a warning in the event of very rapid tyre
inflation pressure loss, e.g. in the case of sudden tyre damage. In this case care-
fully bring the vehicle to a standstill without sudden steering movements or
sharp braking.
■ To ensure a proper functioning of the tyre control display, it is necessary to re-
peat the basic setting every 10 000 km or once a year. Ð

Fuse box cover in engine compartment/Schematic diagram of the
fuse box
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 201.
On some vehicles, the battery cover must be removed before removing the cover
for the fuse box
» page 178.
› The cover for the fuse box is removed by pushing the circlips A

up-
wards as far as the stop. The symbol is displayed behind the clip. Now remove
the cover.
› Once the fuse has been removed, place the cover on the fuse box and push the
circlips A
back as far as the stop. The symbol
is displayed behind the clip. The
cover is locked into position.
