Mild soap solution = 2 tablespoons of natural soap to 1 litre of lukewarm water.
The jack is maintenance-free. If necessary, the moving parts of the jack should
be lubricated with a suitable lubricant.
The towing device is maintenance-free. Coat the ball head of the towing de-
vice with a suitable grease whenever necessary.
Protection of hollow spaces
All the hollow spaces on your vehicle which are at risk from corrosion are pro-
tected for life by a layer of protective wax applied in the factory.
If any small amount of wax flow out of the cavities at high temperatures, these
must be removed with a plastic scraper and the stains cleaned using a petrole-
um cleaner.
Underbody protection
The underside of your vehicle is already permanently protected by the factory
against chemical and mechanical influences.
We recommend having the protective coating underneath the vehicle and the
chassis checked — preferably before the beginning of winter and at the end of winter.
Product life of the films
Environmental influences (e.g. sunlight, humidity, air pollution, rockfall) affect
the life of the films. Films will age and become brittle – this is entirely normal:
this is not a fault.
Sunlight may also affect the strength of the film colour.
When transporting a load on the roof rack (e.g. roof box or similar), there is an
increased risk of film damage (e.g. of chipping from the secured load).
CAUTION
■ Vehicle paint
■ Damaged areas should be repaired as soon as possible.
■ Do not treat painted parts with or hard waxes.
■ Do not polish the paintwork in a dusty environment - risk of paint scratch-
es. ■ Do not apply any paint care products to door seals or window guides.■
Plastic parts
■ Do not use paint care products.
■
Chromed and anodised parts
■ Do not polish the chrome parts in a dusty environment - risk of surface
scratches.
■
Foils
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of foil
damage.
■ Do not clean with dirty cloths or sponges.
■ To remove ice and snow, do not use a scraper or other means.
■ Do not polish the foils
■ Do not use a pressure washer to clean the foils
■
Rubber seals
■ Do not treat the door seals and window guides with any products - the pro-
tective lacquer layer could be affected.
■
Windows and external mirror glass
■ Do not clean the inside of the windows with sharp objects - there is a risk
of damage to the filaments or glass antenna. ■ Do not use a cloth, which was used to polish the body - this could soil the
window and reduce visibility.
■
Headlights/lights ■ Do not dry off the headlights/lights, do not use sharp objects - there is a
risk of damage to the protective coating and subsequent cracking of the
headlight glass.
■
Reversing camera
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of
camera damage.
■ Do not remove snow / ice with warm / hot water.
■ To wash, never use a pressure washer or steam jet.
■ For cleaning, do not use abrasive cleaners. 

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
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Specification
270
Check and refill
271
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.

Bulbs
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Bulb arrangement in the headlights

Replacing a bulb for low beam and main beam (halogen headlights)

302
For this reason, we recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or
seeking other expert help in the event of any uncertainties.
▶ Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
In the case of failure of a Xenon gas discharge bulb or an LED diode, visit a
specialist garage.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 268.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
H7 and H8 bulbs are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
■
Do not carry out any work on the xenon gas discharge lamps - risk of
death!
CAUTION
■ Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.■
The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-
light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - risk of
damage to the headlights.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle.
