2012 SKODA YETI fuel tank capacity

Engine revolutions counter
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The red scale of the rev counter 1
» Fig. 2 on page 8 indicates the range in which
the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control unit
restricts the engine speed to a steady limit.
You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolution
counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is fitted
with an automatic gearbox.
To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica-
tor » page 11. For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to lower fuel consumption, minimises
operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life
and reliability of the engine. ÐSpeedometer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
Warning against excessive speeds
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h.
The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below
this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries. Ð

ä Coolant temperature gauge
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 8.
The coolant temperature gauge 4
» Fig. 2 on page 8 operates only when the ig-
nition is switched on.
The following guidelines regarding the temperature ranges must be observed to
avoid any damage to the engine.
Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high
engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale, for a normal style of driving. The pointer may also
move further to the right at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air in-
let impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine
overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads »

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Refuelling 167
Unleaded petrol 168
Diesel fuel 169
The correct type of fuel for your vehicle and the tyre size and inflation pressure
are specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap » Fig. 138 on page 167 - . WARNING
The national legal requirements must be observed if carrying a spare canister
in the vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehi-
cle for safety reasons. In the event of an accident, the canister might be dam-
aged and fuel may leak out - risk of fire! CAUTION
■ Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring, which can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and exhaust system. ■ Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork - risk
of paint damage! Ð Refuelling
Fig. 138
Right rear side of the vehicle: Open fuel filler flap/fuel filler flap
with cap unscrewed
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 167.
The filler flap is automatically unlocked or locked with the central locking.
Open fuel filler flap
› Press in the middle of the left area of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 138 -  .
› Unscrew the filler cap by turning it to the left and place the cap onto the top of
the fuel filler flap » Fig. 138 - .
Closing the filler cap
› Turn the filler cap to the right until it clicks into place.
› Close the fuel filler flap until it clicks into place. CAUTION
■ Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (aux-
iliary heating and ventilation).
■ The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
time, provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Do not continue filling the
fuel tank otherwise the expansion volume is filled up. Note
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres, containing a reserve of approx.
10.5 litres . Ð

Checking the engine oil level
Fig. 142
Dipstick
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 169.
The dipstick indicates the level of oil in the engine
» Fig. 142.
Checking the oil level
› Ensure that the vehicle is positioned on a level surface and the engine has
reached its operating temperature.
› Switch off the engine.
› Open the bonnet.
› Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the oil sump and remove
the dipstick.
› Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and insert it again to the stop.
› Then pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.
Oil level within range A
›
No oil must be refilled.
Oil level within range B
›
Oil can
be refilled. It is possible that the oil level may then be within range A
after doing this.
Oil level within range C
›
Oil must be refilled. It is sufficient, once this is done, to keep the oil level within
range B
.
It is normal for the engine to consume oil. The oil consumption may be as much as
0.5 l/1 000 km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which
you operate your vehicle. Consumption may be slightly higher than this during the
first 5 000 kilometres. ä
One should therefore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably every time
after the fuel tank is filled or after driving for long stretches.
We recommend maintaining the oil level within the range A
, but not above
, if
the engine has been operating at high loads, for example, during a lengthy motor-
way trip during the summer months, towing a trailer or negotiating a high moun-
tain pass.
The indicator light in the instrument cluster will indicate whether the oil level is
too low » page 21, Engine oil  . In this case, check the oil level with the dip-
stick, as soon as possible. Add oil accordingly. CAUTION
■ The oil level must on no account extend beyond the range A
» Fig. 142. Risk of
damaging the exhaust system!
■  Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top up
the engine oil under the prevailing conditions! Switch off the engine and obtain
professional assistance from a

ŠKODA specialist garage, otherwise it could cause
severe engine damage. Note
