Service in ... km or ... days.
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.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. Ð Digital 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 Recommended gear
Fig. 4
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. 4.
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

WARNING (Continued)
■ If the indicator light  is displayed simultaneously with indicator light
 » page 22, Antilock brake system (ABS) ,  do not continue your jour-
ney! Seek help from a
ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ A fault to the braking system or the ABS system can increase the vehicle's
braking distance - risk of accident! ÐSeat belt indicator light 
The indicator light  comes on after the ignition is switched on as a reminder for
the driver and front passenger to fasten the seat belt. The indicator light only
goes out if the driver or front passenger has fastened his seat belt.
If the seat belt has not been fastened by the driver or front passenger, a perma-
nent warning signal sounds at vehicle speeds greater than 20 km/h and simulta-
neously the indicator light  flashes.
If the seat belt is not fastened by the driver or front passenger during the next
90

seconds, the warning signal is deactivated and the indicator light  lights up
permanently. ÐDynamo 
If the indicator light lights up  when the engine is running, the vehicle battery is
not being charged.
Seek help from a ŠKODA

specialist garage. The electrical system requires check-
ing. WARNING
If 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 44. CAUTION
If the indicator light  (cooling system fault) comes on in addition to the indicator
light  when driving, stop the vehicle immediately and switch the engine off -
risk of engine damage! Ð Open door 
The indicator light 
comes on, if one or several doors are opened.
The warning light comes on even when the ignition is switched off. The warning
light lights up for a maximum of 5 minutes.
In vehicles with an information display, this warning light is replaced by a vehicle
symbol » page 17 . WARNING
If 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 44. Ð Coolant temperature/coolant level 
If the indicator light  lights up or flashes, either the coolant temperature is too
high or the coolant level is too low.
The following is displayed in the information display:
Check coolant! Owner's manual!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, check the level of the coolant » page 174,
and refill the coolant if necessary » page 174.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan. Check the fuse for the radia-
tor fan, replace if necessary » page 203.
If the indicator light  does not go off even though the coolant level is correct
and the fuse for the fan is in working order  do not continue driving!
