illuminates – there is a fault in the engine management system. The system
allows operation emergency mode - there may be a noticeable reduction in en-
gine performance.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Diesel particulate filter (diesel engine)
Read and observe
on page 33 first.
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a
regular basis.
Illuminates – the filter is clogged with soot.
To clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, drive as follows for
at least 15 minutes or until the indicator light goes out.
4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S).
Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
Engine speed between 1800-2500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning light extinguishes.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light does not go out and
the warning light begins to flash.
Diesel Particulate Filter: Owner´s manual!
The system allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After switching the
ignition off and on again the indicator light, the warning light also illumi-
nates.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING■ Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and 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.

sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.
Display a low temperature
Read and observe
on page 39 first.
If the outside temperature drops below +4 °C while driving, the warning light
(low temperature warning) illuminates and an audible signal sounds.
If the outside temperature is below +4 °C when the ignition is switched on, the
following warning light appears in the display .
WARNINGEven at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road
surface! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature dis- play for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.39Information system
Door, boot or engine compartment warningRead and observe
on page 39 first.
Vehicles with a MAXI DOT display
If at least one door, the boot or bonnet is open, the display indicates the rele-
vant open door, boot or bonnet vehicle icon.
Vehicles with a segment display
If at least one door or the boot lid is open, the
warning light in the instru-
ment cluster lights up » page 33.
If the boot lid is open, the
warning light in the instrument cluster lights up
» page 34 .
An acoustic signal will also sound if you drive the vehicle above 6 km/h when a
door is open.
Overspeed warning at 120 km/h
Read and observe
on page 39 first.
This function only applies to certain countries.
An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120
km/h. The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls
below 120 km/h.
Gear recommendationFig. 27
Information on the selected gear / Gear recommendation
Read and observe
on page 39 first.
A suitable gear is engaged, if necessary, a recommendation to shift to high or
lower gear is displayed.
A suitably engaged gear helps to reduce the fuel consumption and assist the
service life and reliability of the engine.
For vehicles with automatic transmission the recommended gear will be
shown provided the mode for manual switching (Tiptronic) is selected.

The current outside temperature is displayed.
For vehicles with a MAXI DOT display this information is always shown.
Driving time
The time travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
The maximum time indicated is 19 hours and 59 minutes ( ) and 99 hours and
59 minutes ( ). The indicator is automatically set back to zero if this period is
exceeded.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel
consumption.
When the vehicle is stationary or slowly moving the fuel consumption is dis-
played in l/h (on models for some countries the following appears --,- km/l).
Average fuel consumption
The indication is calculated continuously since the last deletion of the memory.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
The indicated information is updated continuously while you are driving.
Range
The detail provides information about the distance in km, that can be travelled
with the current tank and with the same driving style.
If you drive more efficiently this value can increase.

“1” - Single-trip memory
The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if
the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
“2” - Long-term memory
The memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to a total
of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 1 999 kilometres driven (
), and up to a total of
99 hours and 59 minutes or 9 999 kilometres driven ( ).
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a pe-
riod of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
