CAUTIONRefill only operating fluids of the correct specification - danger of damaging
the vehicle!
Note
■ Fluids with the proper specifications can be purchased from the ŠKODA Origi-
nal Accessories or from the ŠKODA Genuine Parts ranges.■
We recommend you have the battery replaced by a specialist garage.

Hold the bonnet and lift up until it is held open by the pressurised gas spring.
Close the bonnet lid
›
Pull the bonnet lid down far enough to overcome the force of the pressur-
ised gas spring.
›
From around 20 cm, lightly push the bonnet lid closed until it securely engag-
es.
If the bonnet lid is not properly closed, the display of the instrument cluster
will show this.
WARNING■ Never drive if the bonnet is open - could cause an accident!■Make sure that when closing the engine compartment lid, no body parts

CAUTIONDo not cover the radiator or fit any parts (e.g. auxiliary lights) in front of the air
intakes - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
Checking and refilling
Fig. 333
Coolant expansion reservoir
Read and observe and on page 281 first.
Check the coolant under the following conditions and refill.
The vehicle is on a horizontal surface.
The engine is not warm (if the engine is warm, the test results could be
inaccurate).
The engine is turned off.
Check the coolant level - the coolant level must be between the marks
A
and
B
» Fig. 333 . If the coolant level is below the mark
B
, refill the coolant.
Refilling
The coolant expansion tank must always contain a small amount of coolant
»
.
›
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and unscrew the
cap carefully .
›
Always top up using the correct specification of fluids.
›
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
The specification of the coolant is shown on the coolant expansion reser-
voir » Fig. 333 .
If no specified coolant is available, use only distilled or demineralised water
and have the mixing ratio of water and coolant additive corrected by a special-
ist garage as soon as possible.
CAUTION■ If the expansion tank is empty, do not top up with coolant. The system could
aerate - risk of damaging the engine! Stop driving! Switch off the engine
and seek assistance from a specialist garage.■
Do not fill the coolant above the mark
A
» Fig. 333 . When it heats up, the
coolant could press out of the cooling system - there is a risk of damage to the
engine parts.
■
If it is not possible to add coolant,
stop driving! Switch off the engine and
seek assistance from a specialist garage.
■
A coolant additive which does not correspond to the correct specification can
reduce the anti-corrosion effect of the cooling system - there is a risk of dam-
age to the cooling system and the engine.
■
If water other than distilled (demineralised) water is used, then have the
coolant replaced by a specialist garage - there is a risk of engine damage.
■
A loss of coolant could be due to leaks in the cooling system - there is a risk
of engine damage. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist
garage.
Note
A coolant level which is too low is indicated in the instrument cluster by the
warning light and shown by the relevant message » page 39. We still rec-
ommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to
time.
Brake fluid
Fig. 334
Brake fluid reservoir
Check the brake fluid under the following conditions.
The vehicle is on a horizontal surface.
The engine is turned off.
Check brake fluid level - the brake fluid level must be between the markings
“MIN” and “MAX” » Fig. 334.
282General Maintenance
Specification - the brake fluid must comply with VW 501 14 standard (this
standard meets the requirements of FMVSS 116 DOT4).WARNING■ The following warning instructions must be followed at all times when
working in the engine compartment » page 278.■
There may be an indication of a leak in the brake system, however, if the
fluid level drops significantly within a short time or if it drops below the
“MIN” » Fig. 334 marking.
Stop driving - There is a risk of an accident!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
Note
■ The brake fluid is changed as part of a compulsory inspection service.■A low brake fluid level which is too low is indicated by the warning light
being shown on the display of the instrument cluster as well as the corre-
sponding message » page 35. We therefore recommend that you check the
coolant level directly at the reservoir from time to time.

The vehicle battery represents a power source for the motor to start and for the supply of electrical consumers in the car.
Automatic consumer shutdown - Discharge protection of the vehicle battery
The on-board power supply tries as follows to avoid draining the vehicle bat-
tery when it is heavily loaded.
▶ By increasing the engine idle speed.
▶ By limiting the power of certain consumers.
▶ By turning off some consumers (heated seats, heated rear window) for as
long as necessary.
Warning symbols on the vehicle batterySymbolMeaningAlways wear eye protection.Battery acid is severely caustic. Always wear gloves and eye pro-
tection.Keep fire, sparks, open flames and lit cigarettes well clear of the
vehicle battery.When charging the vehicle battery, a highly explosive gas mixture
is produced.Keep children away from the vehicle battery.WARNINGBattery acid is highly corrosive - risk of injury, irritation or poisoning! Corro-
sive vapours in the air irritate and damage the respiratory tract and the
eyes. The following guidelines must be observed.■
Always wear protective gloves, eye and skin protection when handling
the vehicle battery.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolyte fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes with plenty of water. Seek
medical assistance if required.
■
Keep the vehicle battery away from people who are not completely inde-
pendent, especially children.
■
Do not tilt the battery otherwise battery electrolyte may flow out of the
battery vent openings.
WARNINGWhen working on the car battery, there is the risk of explosion, fire, injury
or irritation! The following guidelines must be observed.■
Avoid smoking, the use of open flames or light and any activities that
could cause sparks.
■
A discharged vehicle battery can freeze slightly. Never charge up a fro-
zen or thawed vehicle battery. Replace a frozen vehicle battery.
■
Never use a damaged vehicle battery – risk of explosion!
■
Do not connect the battery terminals with each other by bridging the two
poles of a short circuit.
