CAUTION■As long as the indicator light  lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of
the engine.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
■ To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
 Fuel reserve

The warning light 
is lit when there is less than 9 litres of remaining fuel.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Please refuel. Range: ... km
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
The text in the display goes out only after refuelling and driving a short dis-
tance.
 Airbag system

checked immediately by a specialized company.
 Tyre pressure
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
The warning light  is lit
If the warning light  comes on while driving, it means one of the tyres has
undergone a pressure change.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
›
Immediately reduce speed and avoid sudden steering and braking manoeu-
vres.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and check the tyres and their inflation
pressures » page 191.
›
Correct the tyre pressure if necessary or replace the affected
wheel » page 200 or use the repair kit » page 203.
›
Save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 158.
The warning light flashes for about 1 min. and remains lit
If the warning light  flashes for approximately 1 minute and stays on, there
may be a fault in the tyre pressure monitoring system.
›
Stop the vehicle, turn the ignition off and start the engine again. 
40Using the system

If the warning light  flashes again after the engine has started, there is a
system error.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
The following reasons can explain the warning light 
being illuminated.
› The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
› The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
› Snow chains are mounted.
› A wheel has been changed.
Save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 158.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light  can be delayed or does not light up at all.
Note
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning
light  comes on after switching on the ignition. If the indicator light does not
go out after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error in the
system. Seek help from a specialist garage.

The mode is active when the wipers operate continuously for longer than 2 mi-
nutes at a speed of 20 - 70 km / h. The mode is deactivated when the wind-
screen wipers are switched off for longer than 8 minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of
the headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the MAXI DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 47 , Settings menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Note
When the “tourist light” mode is active, the warning light  flashes for 10 sec-
onds each time the ignition is switched on.
