The procedure for lifting the vehicle is valid for all body versions.
Before the vehicle is raised, the safety instructions must be observed »
.
Use the jack from the tool kit to raise the vehicle. Position the jack at the jack-
ing point closest to the flat tyre.
The jacking points are located on the lower sill » Fig. 336.

Continue to lift the vehicle until the wheel is just off the floor.
WARNINGObserve the following instructions, otherwise there is risk of injury.■Secure the vehicle from unexpectedly rolling away.■
Always ensure the base plate of the lifting jack cannot slip.
■ Provide a wide and stable base under the jack on loose surfaces (e.g.
such as gravel). ■ Create a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber floor mat) under the jack on a
smooth surface (e.g. cobblestones).
■
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
■
Never position any body parts, such as arms or legs, under the vehicle,
while the vehicle is raised with a lifting jack.

Do not remove foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre (e.g. nails etc.).
Do not use the puncture repair kit in the following instances.
▶ The rim is damaged.
▶ The outdoor temperature is below the minimum temperature indicated in
the instruction manual of the tyre filling bottle with sealant.
▶ Tyre punctures of more than 4 mm.
▶ There is damage to the tyre wall.
▶ The expiration date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
WARNING■ If the sealant comes into contact with skin, wash the affected area imme-
diately.■
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the breakdown kit.

For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before
performing a wheel repair the road.
›
As far as possible, park the vehicle far away from the traffic flow - find a
place with a flat and firm surface.

Start using the battery from another vehicleFig. 339
Jump-starting: 
- Discharged battery, 
- power-supplying bat-
tery / ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe
on page 287 first.
If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start
cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal
clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the
current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the
discharged battery in your vehicle.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
›
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the current-giving battery.
›
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the current-giving battery.
›
For vehicles with the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to the ground
point of the engine
A
» Fig. 339 .
›
For vehicles without the START-STOP system, secure the clamp
4
to a solid
metal part that is firmly attached to the engine block or secure to the engine
block directly.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
WARNING■
Never clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery - danger of explosion.■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – risk of short circuit!
■
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle
– risk of short circuit!
■
Route the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts
in the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-
age.
Towing the vehicle
Information about the towing process
Fig. 340
Braided tow rope / Spiral tow rope
For towing using a tow rope, use only a braided synthetic fibre rope » Fig. 340
- 
»
.
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar to the towing eyes at the front
» page 289 ,towing eyes at the rear » page 290or to thetowing device of the
trailer device » page 250 .
Conditions for towing. Cars with automatic gearboxes must not be towed with the rear wheels
raised - there is a risk of gearbox damage!
If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle
raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer. 
288Do-it-yourself

The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer
if it is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the tow-
ing distance is greater than 50 km.
Driver of the tow vehicle›
On vehicles with manual transmission , engage gear slowly when starting.
›
On vehicles with automatic transmission , accelerate with particular care.
›
Only then approach correctly when the rope is taut.
Driver of the towed vehicle
›
If possible, the vehicle should be towed with the engine running. Operate the
brake booster and power steering only if the engine is running, otherwise
the brake pedal must be depressed more strongly and more power has to be
directed to the steering.
›
If it is not possible to start the engine, switch on the ignition so that the
steering wheel is not locked and so that the turn signal lights, windscreen
wipers and windscreen washer system can be used.
›
Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N if the
vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.
›
Always keep the tow rope taut during the towing procedure.
WARNING■ Wound tow ropes must not be used for towing » Fig. 340-  , the towing
eye may unscrew out of the vehicle - risk of accident.■
Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■ Do not tow-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine! The battery from
another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid » page 287, Jump-starting .■
In the case of off-road towing manoeuvres, for both vehicles there is the risk
that the fastening parts could be overloaded and damaged.
Note
We recommend that you use the tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories.Front towing eyeFig. 341
