ing) to prevent any possible damage. On vehicles with the KESSY system,
switch off the ignition and open the driver's door.Fuel gaugeFig. 26
Fuel gauge
Read and observe on page 30 first.
The display » Fig. 26 provides information on the fuel supply in the container.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres or 60 litres 1)
.
If the amount of fuel reaches the reserve area (the pointer reaches the red
scale range), the indicator symbol is illuminated 
» page 40 .
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
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.1)
Valid for Yeti 4x4.

The warning lights indicate certain functions or faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
WARNING■ Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury
or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 68. The warning triangle must be set up at the pre-
scribed distance - observe the national legal provisions when doing so.
■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. The following
warning instructions must be followed at all times when working in the en-
gine compartment » page 180, Engine compartment .
 Handbrake
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
The warning light 
illuminates if the handbrake is applied.
An acoustic signal will sound if you drive the vehicle above 6 km/h for at least
3 seconds while the handbrake is applied.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Release parking brake!
 Brake system
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
The 
indicator light illuminates if the brake fluid level in the braking system is
too low or there is a fault in the ABS.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Brake fluid: Owner's manual!
›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake flu-
id » page 186 .
If the warning light  lights up together with the warning light
, there is a
problem with the ABS.
WARNING■ If the warning light  lights up together with the warning light
 » page 38 ,  Antilock brake system (ABS) ,  stop driving! Seek help
from a specialist garage.■
A fault to the ABS system or the braking system can increase the vehi-
cle's braking distance – risk of accident!
 Seat belt warning light
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
The warning light 
illuminates as a reminder for the driver and front passen-
ger to fasten seat belts.
The indicator light 
goes off after the respective seat belt is fastened.
If the driver or front passenger has not fastened their seat belt and the vehicle
speed is more than 20 km/h, the warning light 
flashes and you will hear an
acoustic signal.
The warning signal is switched of and the indicator light is 
permanently lit if
the driver and front passenger have not fastened their seat belts within the
next 90 seconds.
35Instruments and Indicator Lights

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
Read and observe
on page 35 first.
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
Read and observe
on page 35 first.

being triggered in the event of an accident. Therefore, this must be
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.

■
The national legal requirements must be observed if carrying a spare can-
ister in the vehicle.
■
We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehicle for safe-
ty reasons. in the event of an accident, these canisters can become dam-
aged and fuel may escape – risk of fire!
CAUTION■ 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. Not continue refuelling.■
Be careful when filling diesel fuel from the spare canister and then do this
slowly and cautiously – danger of contaminating the body.
Note
The fuel capacity for vehicles with front wheel drive is about 55 litres, and for
vehicles with four-wheel drive about 60 litres, with about 9 liters as reserve.
Lead-free petrol
Read and observe
on page 177 first.
The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol in compliance with the
EN 228 1)
standard.
All petrol engines can be operated using petrol that contains at most 10% bio-
ethanol (E10).
Required fuel - unleaded petrol 95/91 or 92 or 93 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON. Unleaded petrol with the
octane ratings 91, 92 or 93 RON can also be used, but may result in a slight
loss in performance and slightly increased fuel consumption »
.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON or higher.
If unleaded gasoline is not available with the octane number 95 RON, in an
emergency petrol with the octane rating of 91, 92 and 93 RON can be used to
fill the tank, but this leads to a slight loss of performance and a slightly in-
creased fuel consumption »
.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded fuel 98/95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 98 RON or higher. Unleaded petrol
95 RON can also be used but this results in a slight loss in performance and
slightly increased fuel consumption.
In case of an emergency, you can refuel with petrol with the octane ratings 91,
92 or 93 RON, if unleaded fuel with octane rating 98 RON or 95 RON is not
available »
. 
1)
In Germany also DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded petrol with octane number 91 or 95 or DIN 51626-2 or E5
for unleaded petrol with octane number 95 and 98.
