The lane departure warning (following known as system) helps to keep the ve-
hicle between the boundary lines of a lane.
The system recognises the boundary lines of the lane using a sensor
» Fig. 303 .
When the vehicle approaches a detected line between lanes, the system
makes a light movement of the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the
boundary line. This corrective steering intervention can be manually overrid-
den at any time.WARNING■ Please take note of the general points relating to the use of assistance
systems » page 212, in section Introduction .■
Lane Assist can help you keep the vehicle within the lane. However, it
does not steer the vehicle for you. The driver retains full responsibility for
steering at all times.
■
Some objects or markings on the road can be recognised as the boundary
lines - an erroneous steering intervention may be the result.
WARNINGThe system may not be able to recognise the boundary line, or recognise it
incorrectly, for example, in the following situations.■
When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
■
When driving in “sharp” bends.
■
The sensor is blinded by the sun or oncoming traffic.
■
The field of view of the sensor is limited by an obstacle or a preceding ve-
hicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach any stickers or similar objects in front of the sensor on the wind-
screen to avoid impairing the functions of the system.
Note
■ The system is designed for driving on motorways and roads with adequate
longitudinal markings.■
The system can detect both continuous and broken lines.

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
249
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 212, in section Introduction .■
Having the correct tyre inflation pressure is always the driver's responsi-
bility. Tyre pressure should be checked regularly » page 277.
■
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 277. 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 tire pressure values must be stored ev-
ery 10 000 km or 1x a year.

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 them » page 49.
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 difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to have some serv-
ice work performed before the date of the next service or between the speci-
fied 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 diesel particle filters,
which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is understood under difficult 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 often the case in city driving, for ex-
ample.
▶ 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 from the particular scope of work required,
depending on the vehicle type and equipment and the status of your vehicle.
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 current service scopes for the particular serv-
ice work by the specialist garage.

Overview of service intervalsFig. 312
Vehicle data: Service interval
The service interval is predefined by the manufacturer indicated on the vehicle
data carrier » Fig. 312. The vehicle data carrier is affixed in the instructions and
under the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
One of the following service intervals applies to your vehicle:
▶ Fixed service interval QI1.
▶ Fixed service interval QI2.
▶ Fixed service interval QI3.
▶ Fixed service interval QI4.
▶ Variable service interval QI6.
In order to operate a vehicle with a flexible service interval, it is necessary
that only the prescribed engine oil is used.
If this engine oil is not available, the oil change is subject to a fixed service in-
terval. In this case, the vehicle must be changed to the fixed service interval.
Note

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!
Note
For diesel operation with a high sulphur content, the oil must be changed ev-
ery 7,500 km. Ask your specialist garage for information on the countries
where diesel fuel has a high sulphur content.
Flexible service interval QI6
The oil change service intervals depend on the intensity at which the vehicle is
driven and the local conditions in which the vehicle is used. For example, your
vehicle is subjected to different demands when driven over short distances
than when driven over long distances. The intervals are therefore flexible.

▶ 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.
