2016 SKODA OCTAVIA ECO mode

The system can display the following (vertical) traffic signs where identified.▶ Speed limit.
▶ Overtaking prohibited.
Additional signs, such as 'when wet' or signs which only apply for a limited
time can also be displayed.
The system displays only traffic signs that are in the “viewing area” of the sen-
sor » Fig. 267 .
Data from the sensor is supplemented by information from the Infotainment
Navigation. This is the reason why traffic signs with maximum speeds can also
be shown on sections of roads which do not have any traffic signs.
Mode when towing a trailer
For vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device the display for the trailer oper-
ation applicable road signs can be enabled or disabled in the Infotainment dis-
play » page 227 , Settings in Infotainment .
Additional display

on page 227 first.
If the menu item Road sign is currently not shown » Fig. 268 on page 227 -
 ,
the road sign with the speed limit will appear in the upper display area of the
instrument cluster » Fig. 268 on page 227 -
 ,
 .
If several traffic signs are detected simultaneously, in some cases the next
traffic sign will also be displayed in the colour display - » Fig. 268 on page 227 -

All detected traffic signs can be displayed via the multifunction display in the
menu item Traffic Sign Recognition » Fig. 268 on page 227 -

Malfunctions and information messages
Read and observe
on page 227 first.
If, for some unknown reason, the system is not available, an appropriate mes-
sage appears in the display of the instrument cluster.
Sensor covered / dirty
If the screen in the sensor area is dirty, iced or misted, a caution to clean the
screen appears. Clean the windscreen or remove the obstacles from the sen-
sor area.
System fault
In the case of a system fault, an error message appears. Seek help from a spe-
cialist garage.
System limitation (Navigation data not available)
If the Infotainment Navigation submits no data, a message regarding the limi- tation of the system function appears. Check whether the map documents are
up to date or whether the vehicle is currently in a location for which no naviga-
tion data are available.
Traffic signs unavailable
No speed restriction is detected, a message is displayed regarding the unavail-
ability of road signs.
Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as system) recommends
the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected due
to the driver's steering behaviour.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition is turned off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt is taken off and the driver's door is
opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The system can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment menu 

228Driving

WARNING■Do not drive with incorrect tyre pressure, there is a risk of an accident.■In the event of very rapid pressure loss (e.g. in the event of tyre damage)
an attempt should be made to bring the vehicle carefully to a stop without
sudden steering movements and without any hard braking - risk of acci-
dent.
Note
The declaration of conformity (the COC document) can be obtained from a
ŠKODA partner 1)

Tire wear and wheel change
Fig. 298
Tyre wear indicator / wheel change
Tyre wear increases in the following circumstances.
▶ Incorrect tyre pressures.
▶ Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration / braking).
▶ Incorrect wheel balancing (you should have the wheels balanced after
changing/repair tyres or if the steering “is drifting”).
▶ Wheel alignment errors.
There are wear indicator markers in the tyre profiles, indicating whether the
minimum permissible tread depth has been reached » Fig. 298 -
 . A tyre
should be regarded as worn out when this indicator is flush with the tread.
Markings on the walls of the tyres through the letters “TWI” and/or other sym-
bols (e.g. ), identify the position of the wear indicators.
To ensure uniform wear on all tyres, we recommend that you change the
wheels every 10 000 km, in line with the schedule » Fig. 298 - -
.
WARNING■
Change the tyres at the latest when they are worn down to the wear indi-
cators - risk of accident.■
Faulty wheel alignment affects handling - There is a risk of an accident.
■
Unusual vibrations or the vehicle“pulling” to one side could be a sign of
tyre damage. Reduce speed and stop! If there are no external signs of tyre
damage, seek the help 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 229 .
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
Only use this emergency spare wheel to reach the nearest specialist garage, as
it is not intended for permanent use .
A warning label is always placed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel.
Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel. ▶ Do not cover the warning sign.
▶ Be specially attentive when driving.
▶ Inflate the temporary spare wheel to the maximum inflation pressure for the
vehicle » page 261 (the prescribed tyre pressure of the spare wheel R 18 is 4.2
bar). 
1)
Only valid for some countries and some models.
262General Maintenance

›Jack up the vehicle
» page 269 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of
the ground.›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,
etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
›
Lower the vehicle.
›
Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“pull- ing crossways”) » page 269.
›
Replace the wheel trim » page 267and caps» page 268 .
When fitting a wheel with unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of ro-
tation is correct » page 261.
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If screws are corroded and diffi-
cult to move, these must be replaced.
WARNING■ Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn), provided the vehicle
has not yet been jacked up. Otherwise the wheel could come loose and fall
off – There is a risk of an injury.■
Under no circumstances must the bolts be greased or oiled - There is a
risk of an accident.
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage
compartment and secure with a locking screw.
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.
›
Check tyre pressure on the mounted wheel and adjust if necessary and, with
vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system » page 229 .
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible.
The prescribed tightening torque is 120 Nm.
Replace the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair op-
tions.
WARNINGTightening torque which is too high can damage the threads and this can
result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim. Where
tightening torque is too low, the wheels may become loose while driving -
risk of accident. Therefore drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed
until the tightening torque has been checked.
