For information about the valid version for your vehicle, please contact a ŠKODA partner.
WARNINGThe brake fluid must always be changed after the first 3 years and then ev-
ery 2 years. Longer intervals between changing the brake fluid can cause
vapour bubbles to form in the brake system on sharp braking. This can im-
pair the efficiency of the brakes – risk of accident!
Digital Service Plan
A specialist garage does not confirm the corresponding service evidence in this
Owner´s Manual, but in the service information system called Digital Service
Plan.
Therefore, we recommend that you always print the respective Service Certifi-
cate as evidence of the service work carried out.
Benefits of the digital service plan
▶ High level of security when it comes to the manipulation of the event entries.
▶ Transparent documentation of service work carried out.
▶ Protection against loss or damage of the event entries – you receive a com-
plete service-verification if required.
▶ Optional; request of complete verification in electronic form.
▶ You can have the vehicle serviced in any specialist garage (also abroad) – the
database is accessible worldwide.
▶ Increased transparency when purchasing a used vehicle due to event entries
being stored centrally.
▶ The system entries support you in the enforcement of obligations under the
ŠKODA extended warranty and mobility guarantee.

Regular and thorough care retains the value of your vehicle.
When using the care product, always observe the instructions on the packag-
ing. We recommend that you use the preservative from the ŠKODA Original Ac-
cessories.
WARNING■ Vehicle care products may be harmful to your health if not used according
to the instructions.■
Always keep the vehicle care products safe from people who are not com-
pletely independent, e.g. children - there is a danger of poisoning!
CAUTION
■ Do not use any insect sponges, rough kitchen sponges or similar cleaning
products – risk of damaging the paintwork surface.■
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solvents - there is a dan-
ger of damaging the material that is to be cleaned.
Note
We recommend that the vehicle is cleaned and cared for by a ŠKODA Service
Partner.
Washing the vehicle
Read and observe
and on page 260 first.
The best way to protect your vehicle against harmful environmental influencesis frequent washing. 
260General Maintenance

The longer insect residues, bird droppings, road salt and other aggressive de-
posits remain on the paintwork of your vehicle, the more detrimental their de-
structive effect can be. High temperatures, such as those caused by intensive
sun's rays, accentuate this caustic effect.
It is essential to also thoroughly clean the underside of the vehicle at the end
of the winter.
Washing by hand
Wash the vehicle from top to bottom, if necessary, wash using a soft sponge or
washing mitt and plenty of water with appropriate detergents. Wash out the
sponge or washing glove thoroughly at short intervals.
Use a different sponge for the wheels, door sills and lower vehicle areas.
Give the vehicle a good rinse after washing it and dry it off using a chamois
leather.
Automatic car washes
The usual precautionary measures must be taken before washing the vehicle
in an automatic car wash system (e.g. closing the windows and the sliding/tilt-
ing roof etc.).
If your vehicle is fitted with any particular attached parts, such as a spoiler,
roof rack system, two-way radio aerial etc., it is best to consult the operator of
the car wash system beforehand.
After an automatic wash with wax treatment, the blades of the wipers should
be cleaned with cleaning agents specially designed for the purpose, and then
degreased.
Pressure washer
When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, the instructions for
use of the equipment must be observed. This particularly applies to informa-
tion with respect to the pressure and spray distance from the vehicle surface.WARNING■
When washing your vehicle in the winter: Water and ice in the braking
system can affect the braking efficiency – risk of accident!■
Take care when cleaning the underbody or the inside of the wheel wells -
there is a risk of injury on sharp metal parts!
CAUTION■ Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight, do not exert pressure on the body
while washing. The temperature of the washing water should be max. 60 ° C -
otherwise there is a risk of damaging the vehicle paint.■
Before driving through a car wash, fold in the exterior mirrors - there is a risk
of damage.
CAUTION
Washing the vehicle using pressure washers■The foils should not be washed using pressure washers - there is a risk of
damage .■
Do not aim the water jet directly at the lock cylinders or the door or opening
joints when washing the vehicle in the winter – there is a risk of freezing.
■
During cleaning always keep a sufficiently large spraying distance to the
parking sensors, the rear camera lens, to external decorative and protective
plastic parts (e.g. Roof racks, spoilers, protective strips) and other vehicle parts
made of non-metallic materials such as rubber hoses or insulation materials.
■
The sensors of the parking aid can be sprayed only for a short time and there
must be a minimum distance of 10 cm - there is a risk of damage.
■
When washing the vehicle, do not point the water jet directly at the tow bar
or the trailer socket - there is a risk of seal damage or washing out the grease.

Windscreen washer fluidFig. 320
Windscreen washer fluid reservoir
Read and observe
and on page 268 first.
The installation location of the container support can differ depending on the
type of engine » Fig. 320.
The capacity of the reservoir
A
is about 3.1 litres or about 4.7 litres on vehicles
that have a headlight cleaning system. The contents of the container
B
are
approximately 3.7 litres.
Use a suitable windscreen washer fluid in accordance with the current or ex-
pected weather conditions. We recommend that you use accessories 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 can be-
come contaminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to mal-
function.
Engine oil
 Introduction

The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use
throughout the year - except in extreme climate zones.
We therefore recommend that the oil change is carried out by a ŠKODA Service
Partner.
The engine oil should be changed after specified service intervals » page 258.
Depending on the driving style and operating conditions, the engine uses
some oil (up to 0.5 l / 1 000 km). Consumption may be slightly higher than this
during the first 5 000 km.
WARNINGThe following warning instructions must be followed at all times when
working in the engine compartment » page 268.
CAUTION
Do not add additives to the engine oil - risk of engine damage.
Note
We recommend that you use oils from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
