Tyre wear indicator and wheel replacementFig. 236
Principle sketch: Replace tyre tread with wear indicators /
wheels
Read and observe
on page 217 first.
Wear indicators
The base of the tread of the tyres contains has a 1.6 mm high wear indicator
» Fig. 236 -
 . In some countries, different tyre wear rates may apply.
Markings on the walls of the tyres through the letters “TWI”, triangular sym-
bols or other symbols identify the position of the wear indicators.
Replacement of wheels
For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-
ery 10 000 km according to the scheme » Fig. 236-
 . You will then obtain ap-
proximately the same life for all the tyres.
After a wheel has been replaced, the tyre pressure has to be adjusted.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save tyre pressure values » page 183.
WARNING■
You must have your tyres replaced with new ones at the latest when the
wear indicators have been worn down.■
Worn tyres impair necessary adhesion to the road surface, particularly at
high speeds on wet roads. This could lead to “aquaplaning” (uncontrolled vehicle movement – “swimming” on a wet road surface).
Tyre damage
Read and observe
on page 217 first.
We recommend checking your tyres and wheel rims for damage (punctures,
cuts, splits and bulges, etc.) on a regular basis.
Remove any foreign objects in the tyre tread immediately (e.g. small stones).
Foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre (e.g. screws or nails)
should not be removed and seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNINGNever drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
CAUTION
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances such as oil, grease
and fuel, which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these
substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a specialist
workshop.
Unidirectional tyres
Read and observe
on page 217 first.
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the
tyre .
The indicated direction of rotation must be adhered to in order to ensure the
optimal characteristics of these tyres.
These characteristics mainly relate to the following. ▶ Increased driving stability.
▶ Reduced risk of aquaplaning.
▶ Reduced tyre noise and tyre wear.
Spare wheel
Read and observe
on page 217 first.
A yellow warning label is always displayed on the rim of the temporary spare
wheel. 
219Wheels

Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel.▶ The warning label must not be covered after installing the wheel.
▶ Be particularly observant when driving.
▶ The emergency spare is inflated to the maximum inflation pressure for the
vehicle » page 217 .
▶ The tyre inflation pressure of the spare wheel R 18 is 4.2 bar.
▶ Only use this temporary spare wheel to reach the nearest specialist garage,
since it is not intended for permanent use.
If you need to use a spare wheel, make sure to fit a standard wheel of the ap-
propriate dimensions and design as soon as possible.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save tyre pressure values » page 183.WARNING■
Never drive with more than one spare wheel mounted!■Only use the spare wheel while absolutely necessary.■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
■
The snow chains cannot be used on the spare wheel.
■
If the dimensions or design of the temporary spare wheel differ from the
tyres fitted, never drive faster than 80 km/h (or 50 mph).
■
Never use the emergency spare wheel if it is damaged.
■
Observe instructions on the warning sign of the emergency wheel.
Tyre label
Read and observe
on page 217 first.
Only use radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and tread
pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When mounting new tires the tires have to be replaced axle by axle.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Winter tyres
221
Snow chains
221
Do not use alloy rims with bevelled or polished surfaces during the winter. The
rim surface does not have sufficient corrosion protection and could be perma-
nently damaged (e.g. through grit).
220General Maintenance

Winter tyres
The handling of your vehicle will be significantly improved when driving on
wintry roads if you fit winter tyres (labelled M+S).
To obtain the best possible handling, winter tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels. The minimum tread depth must be 4 mm.
Fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they provide better handling
properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and reduced tyre wear
on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
Speed symbol
Winter tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol
) of a lower
speed category can be used provided that the permissible maximum speed of
these tyres is not exceeded even if the possible maximum speed of the vehicle
is higher.
On vehicles with the infotainment system with key the speed limit can be
set for winter tyres » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - Adjust ve-
hicle systems .
For other vehicles, there is the possibility to have the speed limit set for winter
tyres in a specialist workshop.
Snow chains
When driving in wintry road conditions, snow chains improve not only traction,
but also the braking performance.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels.
It is only permissible to fit snow chains with the following wheel/tyre combina-
tions.
Rim sizeImpression depth DTyre size6.5J x 1641 mm215/60 R166.5J x 1741 mm215/55 R17
Applies for 2.0 l/162, 206 kW TSI
Rim sizeImpression depth DTyre size6.5J x 1741 mm215/55 R17
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 12 mm.
Remove the full wheel trims before installing the snow chains » page 225.
CAUTIONThe chains must be removed when driving on snow-free paths. They would
otherwise cause loss of performance and damage the tyres.221Wheels

Notes from the factory or from the ŠKODA Original accessory delivered trim.
▶ When using an anti-theft wheel bolt, make sure that this has been fitted ac-
cording to the position marked on the back of the wheel cover position.
▶ On the back of the wheel cover, the position for the anti-theft wheel bolt is
marked by means of a symbol. If the wheel cover is set outside the position
marked for the anti-theft wheel bolt, there is a risk of damaging the wheel
cover.
If wheel trims are fitted, an adequate flow of air must be assured in order to
cool the brake system.
CAUTION
Use the pressure of your hand only, do not strike the full wheel trim. The cover
could be damaged.
