The instructions and guidelines from ŠKODA AUTO a.s. must be observed when
using accessories or carrying out any modifications, repairs or technical altera-
tions to your vehicle.
Adhering to these instructions and guidelines helps ensure road safety and
helps keep your vehicle in a good technical condition.
WARNING■ Adjustments, repairs and technical changes to the vehicle should only be
carried out by a specialist. Work carried out incorrectly (including work on
the electronic components and their software) can result in malfunctions -
there is a risk of accident and, potentially, increased wear on parts!■
We recommend that you use only ŠKODA Original Accessories and ŠKODA
Original Parts which have been expressly approved for use on your vehicle.
Reliability, safety and suitability for your vehicle are guaranteed with these.
■
Do not use any products which have not been approved by ŠKODA AUTO,
even though these may be products with a type approval or which have
been approved by a nationally recognised testing laboratory.
Vehicle operation in different weather conditions
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with its
intended weather conditions, please contact a ŠKODA Partner. He or she will
advise you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the full function-
ing of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant, changing the battery or
similar).
Statutory checks
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
Many countries have legislation requiring the operational reliability, safety and,
where applicable, roadworthiness and/or exhaust gas properties of a vehicle
to be tested at regular intervals. These tests can be carried out by workshops
or testing stations that have been legally authorized for this purpose.
The ŠKODA Service partners can prepare your vehicle for the official inspec-
tions, so as to ensure that it passes.
Even if you want to take your vehicle to an officially approved test centre for
prior checking in preparation for a legally required test, we recommend that
you consult your ŠKODA Service Partner beforehand.
ŠKODA service partner
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
All ŠKODA service partners work according to the instructions and guidelines
from ŠKODA AUTO a.s. All service and repair work is therefore carried out on
time and at the appropriate quality. Adhering to these instructions and guide-
lines helps ensure road safety and helps keep your vehicle in a good technical
condition.
We therefore advise you to have all modifications, repairs and technical altera-
tions to your vehicle carried out by a ŠKODA Service Partner.
240General Maintenance

WARNING■No changes may be made to airbag system components, the front bump-
er and the bodywork.■
Any work on the airbag system including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might re-
sult in the airbag being deployed.
■
If the airbag has been deployed, the airbag system must be replaced.
WARNINGThe airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Resulting damage
can impair the functioning of the airbag system -There is a risk of accidents
and fatal injuries! The following guidelines must therefore be observed.■
Any work on the front doors and their door panels must be carried out by
a specialist garage.
■
Never drive the vehicle with the inner door panels removed or with open-
ings in the panelling.
Acceptance and recycling of used vehicles
Read and observe
on page 240 first.
All new ŠKODA vehicles are 95% recyclable.
Service intervals
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Overview of service intervals
243
Fixed service intervals QI1 - QI4
243
Variable service interval QI6
243
Digital Service Plan
244
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will remind
you to carry out every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time
in order to prevent you from forgetting any » page 48.
The completion of services can be verified through the printed verification
from the digital service schedule and the respective receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of aggravated operating conditions, it will be necessary to have
some service work carried out before the date of the next regular service or
between the specified service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or
the replacement of the air filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as
well as checking and replacing the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with die-
sel particle filters, which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is taken to mean aggravated operating conditions:
▶ Fuel containing sulphur.
▶ Frequent short trips.
▶ Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶ Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
▶ Frequent trailer operation.
▶ Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as is e.g. often the case in city driving.
▶ Operation predominantly during winter.
You will be told at the specialist garage whether the operating conditions of
your vehicle may make it necessary for service work to be carried out between
the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply according to the particular scope of work
required, the vehicle type and specification, and your vehicle’s condition.
Note
■ The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless sta-
ted otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO warranty terms or other agreements.■
You will be informed about the service checks and actions at each service by
the specialist garage.

is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 292 .
The capacity of the reservoir is about 3 litres or about 4.7 litres on vehicles that
have a headlight cleaning system 1)
.
Use a suitable windscreen washer fluid for the current or expected weather
conditions. We recommend that you use windscreen washer fluid from ŠKODA
Original Accessories.
CAUTION
■ If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight cleaning system, then only use
windscreen washer fluid types that do not attack the polycarbonate coating of
the headlights - otherwise there is a risk of damage to headlights.■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when re-
plenishing it with liquid - otherwise the liquid transportation system might be
contaminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to malfunction.

In some countries, 4.7 ltr. applies for both variants.
254General Maintenance

Fitting new tyres
Only fit approved radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and
the same tread pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When fitting new tyres, the tyres must be replaced axle by axle.
Unidirectional tyres
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.WARNING■ Never use tyres if you do not know anything about their condition and
age - risk of accidents.■
Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ The tyres must be protected from contact with substances (e.g. oil, grease
and fuel) which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these
substances, then we recommend having them checked out in a specialist ga-
rage.■
Do not use rims with ground or polished surfaces in winter conditions - there
is a risk of rim damage (e.g through salt spreading).
Note
■ We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a spe-
cialist garage.■
We recommend that you use tyres, snow chains and full wheel trims from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Tyre pressureFig. 297
Label with a table of tyre sizes and tyre pressure value / inflate

The prescribed tyre inflation is on the sticker with pictograms
A
» Fig. 297 (for
some countries, the pictograms are replaced with a text).
Tyre pressure is always to match the load .
Inflation pressure for half load
Inflation pressure for environmentally friendly operation (slightly lower
fuel consumption and emissions)
Inflation pressure for full load
Tyre diameter in inches
This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre pres-
sure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in the
vehicle's technical documentation, as well as in the declaration of con-
formity (in so-called COC document).
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
Checking the 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 on warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed » page 229. 
