Information overview of the multi-function display (depending on vehicle
equipment)
Outside temperature
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.
AdBlue ®
range
The detail provides information about the distance in km, that can be travelled
with the AdBlue ®
capacity and with the same driving style.
The display appears as soon as the AdBlue ®
range drops below 2400 km.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
The maximum distance indicated is 1 999 km (
) and 9 999 km (
). The indica-
tor is automatically set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Average speed
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.
Current driving speed
The display is identical to the display on the speedometer.
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating temperature is reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine
revs, full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if a there is fault in the system for
checking the oil temperature,
.
symbols are displayed instead of the oil
temperature.
Warning against excessive speeds
Set the speed limit, for example, for the maximum permissible speed in town
» page 42 , Warning when exceeding the set speed .
Warning when exceeding the set speed
Read and observe
on page 41 first.
The system allows you to set a speed limit and when this is reached, an acous-
tic warning signal sounds.

42Using the system
Towing hitch and mounting recessRead and observe
and on page 154 first.
Close the mounting recess with the cover to prevent any dirt from getting in.
If dirt is present, clean the inner surfaces of the mounting recess and treat
with a suitable preservative.
Always check the ball head before hitching a trailer. Apply a suitable grease if
necessary.
Use the protective cover when stowing away the tow bar, in order to stop the
boot from getting dirty.
CAUTION
Apply grease to the inner part of the mounting recess. Make sure you do not
remove any grease.
Under-body protection
Read and observe
and on page 154 first.
The underside of your vehicle is already permanently protected by the factory
against chemical and mechanical influences.
It is not possible to guarantee that the protective coating will not suffer any
damage as the vehicle is driven.
We recommend having the protective coating underneath the vehicle and the
chassis checked — preferably before the beginning of winter and at the end of
winter.
WARNINGNever use additional underbody protection or anti-corrosion agents for ex-
haust pipes, catalytic converters, diesel particle filters or heat shields.
When the engine reaches its operating temperature, these substances may ignite - risk of fire!Wiper blades
Read and observe
and on page 154 first.
Clean the wiper blades regularly with a glass cleaner. The wiper blades shouldbe cleaned with a sponge or cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues,
for example.
The wiper blades can become soiled with wax residues after washing in auto-
matic vehicle wash systems for example.

We recommend using vehicle care products from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
These are available from ŠKODA Partners. The usage instructions on the pack-
age must be observed.
WARNING■ Vehicle care products may be harmful to your health if not used according
to the instructions.■
Always keep the vehicle care products safe from people who are not com-
pletely independent, e.g. children - there is a danger of poisoning!
■
Air fresheners and scents can be hazardous to heath when the tempera-
ture inside the vehicle is high.
CAUTION
■ Be sure to check clothing for colour fastness to avoid any damage or visible
stains on the material (leather), panels and textiles.■
Remove fresh stains such as those from ball-point pens, ink, lipstick, shoe
polish, etc., from the material (leather), panels and textiles as quickly as possi-
ble.
■
Do not attach scents or air fresheners to the dash panel – there is a risk of
damage to the dash panel.

Radiator fan
Read and observe
and on page 165 first.
The radiator fan is powered by an electric motor. Operation is controlled ac-
cording to the temperature of the coolant.
ABCDEFWARNINGAfter switching off the ignition, the fan may intermittently continue to op-
erate for approx. 10 minutes.
Windscreen washer system
Fig. 168
Windscreen washer fluid reser-
voir
Read and observe and on page 165 first.
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir
A
is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 168 .
The cleaning fluid is provided for the cleaning of the front and rear window as
well as the headlight.
The capacity of the reservoir is about 3 litres or about 5.5 litres on vehicles that
have a headlight cleaning system 1)
.
Clear water is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen and head-
lights. We recommend using clean water together with a screen cleaner from
the range of ŠKODA Original Accessories (with antifreeze in winter), which will
remove any stubborn dirt.
In Winter, the washing water should always be mixed with antifreeze even if
the vehicle has heated windscreen washer nozzles.
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no
screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated
spirits must not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration
is sufficient only to -5 °C.
1)
In some countries, 5.5 ltr. applies for both variants.
167Inspecting and replenishing
CAUTION■If the above engine oils are not available, a different engine oil can be used in
an emergency. To prevent damage to the engine, a maximum of 0.5 litres only
of the following engine oils may be used: ■ For petrol engine models: ACEA A3/ACEA B4 or API SN, (API SM);
■ For diesel engine models: ACEA C3 or API CJ-4.
Checking the oil level
Fig. 169
Principle sketch: Dipstick
Read and observe
and on page 168 first.
The dipstick indicates the engine oil level .
Dipstick » Fig. 169
The oil level must be within this range.
The oil can be checked and topped up, if the following conditions are satisfied. The vehicle is standing on a horizontal surface.
The engine operating temperature is reached.
The engine is turned off.
The bonnet is open.
Checking the level
›
Wait a few minutes until the engine oil flows back into the oil trough.
›
Pull out the dipstick.
›
Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth and insert it again to the stop.
›
Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.
›
Re-insert the dipstick.
AThe engine consumes a little oil. The oil consumption may be as much as 0.5
l/1 000 km depending on your style of driving and the conditions under which
you operate your vehicle. Consumption may be slightly higher than this during
the first 5 000 km.
The oil level must be checked at regular intervals.
In case of low oil level, the instrument cluster display shows a warning light
as well as the relevant notification » page 34. Check the oil level using the dip-
stick as soon as possible. Add oil accordingly.
CAUTION
■ The oil level must never be above the range A » Fig. 169 - risk of damage to
the motor as well as the exhaust system.■
Stop driving if for some reason it is not possible to top up the engine oil
under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
■
If the oil level is above the range
A
,
stop driving! Switch off the engine
and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 168 first.
›
Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening » Fig. 167 on page 167 .
›
Replenish the oil in portions of 0.5 litres in accordance with the correct speci-
fications » page 168 .
›
Check the oil level » page 169.
›
Screw the lid of the engine oil filler closed carefully.
›
Pull the dipstick out as far as the stop.
