Data overview
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Range - Drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-
pacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more efficiently this value
can increase.
Average fuel consumption - Is calculated continuously since the last time that
the memory was erased. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the
first 100 m driven.
Current fuel consumption - When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,
the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-
lowing appears --,- km/l).
Oil temperature if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the symbols are displayed.
Warning at when the preset speed is exceeded allows the setting of a speed
limit where, if exceeded, an acoustic warning signal and a warning message
appears on the display of the instrument cluster.
Current Speed - Digital speedometer.
Average speed - Value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing
the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m
driven.
Distance driven - Distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Driving time - Driving time since last clearing the memory.
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,
the engine operating temperature has been reached. If the temperature is be-
low 70 ° C, high engine speeds and straining the engine should be avoided. If
the temperature is over 120°C, the warning light lights up in the instrument
cluster » page 34 .
Warning at when exceeding the set speed
The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic
warning signal will sound and the following warning message appears in the
display of the instrument cluster.

41Information system

Resetting the service interval display
We recommend that the display be reset by a specialist garage.
We recommend that you do not reset the service interval display yourself. In-
correctly setting the service interval display could cause problems to the vehi-
cle.
Variable service interval
For vehicles with variable service intervals, after resetting the oil change serv-
ice display in a specialist garage, the values of the new service interval are dis-
played, which are based on the previous operating conditions of the vehicle.
These values are then continuously matched according to the actual operating
conditions of the vehicle.
SmartGate
Introduction to the subject
Fig. 28
QR code with reference to the
ŠKODA websites
SmartGate is a system that transmits certain driving data (such as fuel con-
sumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA applications installed in a supported external device (e.g. tele-
phone, tablet) give the option to further transmit the received data.
Some ŠKODA applications can be displayed in the Infotainment display by
means of a SmartLinkconnection » Owner's Manual Infotainment .
Read in the QR code» Fig. 28 using the respective application on your external
device or enter the following address in the web browser to open the website
with an overview of the available applications, compatible devices and other
information about SmartGate.

CAUTION
■ To increase the access security to the transmitted vehicle data, once the
ŠKODA application has been started, you are requested to change the pass-
word/PIN code if the default password/PIN code has not yet been changed
» page 43 , Password/PIN code . It is not possible to start the ŠKODAapplica-
tion without changing it.■
ŠKODA accepts no responsibility for any problems caused by incompatibility
or improper functioning of the external devices.
