2015 SKODA FABIA low beam

C Graphical review summary
The evaluation of the driving economy during the last 3 minutes or 1.5 minutes
(depending on type of Infotainment) is shown like a beam in 5-second incre-
ments. The current status is shown on the left and moves gradually to the
right. The higher the green bars, the more economic the driving style is.D
Scoring
In the function key, the evaluation of driving efficiency is shown from the start
in the range from 0 to 100 points. The higher the indicated value, the more
economic the driving style is.
When you press the function key, a detailed assessment showing the driving
efficiency during the last 30 minutes is shown.
If the trip from the start, takes less than 30 minutes, then the assessment
takes in information from the previous trip (the bars are shown in dark green).
E
Average fuel consumption
In the function key, the average fuel consumption from the start is displayed.
When you press the function key a detailed overview of the average fuel con-
sumption during the last 30 minutes is shown.
If the trip from the start, takes less than 30 minutes, then the average fuel
consumption takes in information from the previous trip (the bars are shown in
dark green).
F
Symbols in the display
The display may show the following four symbols, which give information on
the current driving style.
Ecological trip
The current speed has a negative effect on fuel consumption. The driving is not liquid, drive with anticipation.
Recommended gear.
Tips for reducing fuel consumption
When tapping the “Page” the display shows useful tips on how to reduce fuel consumption. These tips can to be helpful to drive more economically.
Note
■ Resetting the single-trip memory “from start” also resets the average con-
sumption E and the driving assessment D.■
With some Infotainment types changing the units for the fuel consumption
indicator causes the resetting of the average fuel consumption values

This section of the manual contains important information on preventing dam-
age to the vehicle while driving.
Driving Tips
Only drive on such roads and in such terrain, which match the vehicle parame-
ters » page 192 , Technical data as well as your driving skills.
The driver is always responsible for deciding whether the vehicle can handle
travelling in the given terrain.
WARNING■ Always adjust your driving to the current terrain and weather conditions.
Excessive speed or incorrect driving manoeuvres can cause damage to the
vehicle and lead to serious injuries.■
Combustible objects such as dry leaves or twigs caught under the base of
the vehicle could ignite on hot vehicle parts - risk of fire!
CAUTION
■ Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.■
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
soon as possible. These objects can damage the fuel lines, the brake system,
seals and other parts of the vehicle.
■
Drive slowly in unknown terrain and watch out for unexpected obstacles,
such as potholes, rocks, stumps, etc.
■
Check up on confusing sections of unpaved roads before travelling on them
and consider whether such travelling is possible without risk.

Replacing bulbs in rear light
190Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, if uncertain,
we recommend that bulbs are replaced by a specialist garage or other expert
help is sought.
▶ Switch off the ignition and the relevant lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in
the spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
Visit a specialist garage if an LED is faulty.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 149.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
Bulbs H8, H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there
is a risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
CAUTION
■ Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.■
The protective cap of the bulb must always be properly inserted into the
headlamp. Water and dirt may get into the headlamp if the cover is not re-
placed properly - there is a risk of damage to the headlamp!
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
light bulbs should be changed by your specialist garage.■
We recommend that you always carry a box of replacement bulbs in the vehi-
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
