213Run in engine
During the first 1,500 km, the driving manner determines the quality of the
running in process on a new engine.
During the first 1,000 km , the engine should not be charged with more than
3/4 of the maximum permitted engine revs and without the trailer.
In the area of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres , the engine load can be increased up
to the maximum permitted engine speed.
Tips for economical driving
The fuel consumption depends on the driving style, road condition, weather
conditions and the like.
For an economical driving style, the following instructions must be observed. ▶ Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
▶ Observe the recommended gear » page 44.
▶ Avoid full throttle and high speeds.
▶ Reduce idling.
▶ Avoid short distances.
▶ Ensure the correct tyre inflation pressure is maintained » page 286.
▶ Avoid unnecessary ballast.
▶ Remove the roof rack when it is not needed.
▶ Only switch on electrical consumers (e.g. seat heating) for as long as they are
needed. In the Infotainment menu 

WARNING■Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
Note
■ In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.
Tyre pressure monitoring
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Storing the tyre pressure values and Infotainment display
260
The tyre pressure monitoring function (following known as system) monitors
the tyre pressure while driving.
If the tyre inflation pressure changes, the warning light 
lights up in the in-
strument cluster and an audible signal sounds » page 37.
The system can only function properly if the tyres have the prescribed inflation
pressure and these pressure values are stored in the system.
Always save the tyre pressure values in the system if one of the following
events occurs.
▶ Change of tyre pressure values.
▶ Change one or more wheels.
▶ Change in position of a wheel on the vehicle.
▶ The warning light 
in the instrument cluster.
WARNING■
Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 215, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 286.
■
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss,
e.g. in case of sudden tyre damage.
■
Before storing the pressures, the tyres must be inflated to the specified
inflation pressure » page 286. If the wrong pressure valuesare stored, the
system may not issue any warnings, even if the tyre pressure is too low.
CAUTION
To ensure proper system function, the tyre pressure values must be stored ev-
ery 10,000 km or 1x a year.

CAUTION■An improperly connected electrical installation of the trailer (accessories) can
lead to the inoperability of the vehicle electronics.■
The total power consumption of all the connected loads to the trailer power
supply must not exceed 350 watts, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the
electrical system of the vehicle.
Loading a trailer
Correct the tyre inflation pressure on the vehicle for “full load” » page 286.
Distribution of the cargo
Distribute the cargo in the trailer in such a way that heavy items are located as
close to the trailer axle as possible. Secure the load from slipping.
The distribution of the weight is very poor if your vehicle is unladen and the
trailer is laden. Nevertheless, maintain a particularly low speed if you cannot
avoid driving with this combination.WARNINGSliding cargo can significantly adversely affect stability and driving safety -
risk of accident!

Advice on tyre/wheel usage
New tyres , during the first 500 km, new tyres do not offer optimum grip and
appropriate care should therefore be taken when driving.
Always fit tyres with a greater profile depth on the front wheels.
Wheels and bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. We recom-
mend that you use wheel rims and wheel bolts from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.
Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and, where possible, dark place. The
tyres themselves should be stored standing.
Tyre life
Tyres age and lose their original characteristics, even if they are not being
used. Therefore, we recommend not using tyres that are more than 6 years
old.
The manufacturing date is indicated on the tyre sidewall (possibly on the in-
side ). For example, DOT ... 10 16... means, for example, that the tyre was manu-
factured in the 10th week of 2016.
Tyre damage
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. Seek help from a specialist garage. 
285Wheels

Installation of new tyres
Only fit radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and the same
tread pattern on one axle on all 4 wheels.
When mounting new tires the tires have to be replaced axle by axle.
Unidirectional tyres
Some tires may be directional. The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the tyre .
The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded. ▶ Driving stability.
▶ Traction.
▶ Tyre noise and tyre wear.
Tires with increased resistance to air loss when punctured
Some vehicles may be fitted with tyres at the factory that have increased
puncture resistance (so-called “SEAL” tyres). For some countries, vehicles are
equipped with “SEAL” tyres delivered without a spare wheel and appropriate
tools.
If “SEAL”tyres are replaced with standard tyres, the vehicle must be retrofitted
with a puncture repair kit or spare wheel and appropriate hand tools.WARNING■ Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.■Never 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 special-
ist workshop.■
Do not use rims with ground or polished surface in winter conditions - there
is a risk of wheel damage (e.g. from the road grit).
Note
■ We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres is carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
We recommend that you use wheel rims, tyres, full wheel trims and snow
chains from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

formity (in so-called COC document).
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
Check tyre pressures
Check the tyre pressure (including that of the emergency or spare wheel) at
least once a month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce the
higher pressure of warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed » page 260. 
BCDEFG286General Maintenance

WARNING■Do not drive with an incorrect tyre pressure - risk of accident.■In the event of very fast pressure loss, e.g. in the event of sudden tyre
damage, an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop
without sudden steering movements and without any hard braking.
Note
The declaration of conformity (COC document), can be obtained from a ŠKODA 1)
partner.
Tyre wear and wheel change
Fig. 337
Tyre wear indicator / wheel change
The tyre wear increases in the following circumstances.
▶ Incorrect tyre pressure.
▶ Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration / deceleration).
▶ Incorrect balancing of wheels (have the wheels balanced after changing
tyres / repair or with “restlessness” on the steering).
▶ Wheel alignment error.
Wear indicators are located in the profile of the tyres which display the per-
missible minimum tread depth » Fig. 337 -
 . A tyre is to be regarded as worn
out when this indicator is flush with the tread. Markings on the walls of the
tyres with the letters “TWI”, triangular symbols or other symbols identify the
position of the wear indicators.
For uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the wheels ev-
ery 10 000 km according to the schedule » Fig. 337 -
 .
WARNING■
Change when they are worn down to the wear indicators at the latest -
risk of accident.■
Improper wheel alignment affects the driving behaviour - there is an acci-
dent.
■
Unusual vibrations or “pulling” of the vehicle to one side could be a sign
of tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If no tyre damage is evident, seek
the assistance of a specialist garage.
Spare wheel
The size of the spare wheel is identical to that of the vehicle factory installed
wheels.
After changing the spare wheel, the tyre pressure must be adjusted.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system » page 260 .
WARNING■
If, you get a puncture and a spare tyre has to be mounted with opposite
direction of rotation, then drive carefully. The tyre no longer retains its opti-
mal characteristics in this situation.■
If the dimensions or design of the spare wheel differ from the tyres fitted
to the vehicle (e.g. winter tyres or low-profile tyres), it must only be used
briefly in the event of a puncture and if an appropriately cautious style of
driving is adopted.
Spare wheel
Use the emergency spare wheel only to reach the nearest specialist garage, as
it is not intended for permanent use .
A warning label is displayed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel. 
1)
Only valid for some countries and some models.
287Wheels

Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel.▶ Do not cover the signs.
▶ Be particularly observant when driving.
▶ Inflate the temporary spare wheel to the maximum inflation pressure for the
vehicle » page 286 (the prescribed tyre pressure of the spare wheel R 18 is
4.2 bar).
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the system » page 260 .WARNING■
Never drive with more than one spare wheel mounted!■When driving with the temporary spare wheel at full throttle acceleration,
avoid sharp braking and fast cornering.■
Do not use snow chains on the temporary spare wheel.

For the best possible handling, use all-season or “winter” tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
If using “winter” tyres, fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they pro-
vide 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 tem-
peratures above 7 °C.
