Oil temperature - if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the  symbols are displayed.
Warning of excessive speed - It is possible to set a speed limit.WARNINGEven at temperatures of around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road
surface! You should therefore not only rely on the outside temperature dis- play for accurate information as to whether there is ice on the road.
Warning at excessive speeds
The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic
warning signal will sound and the following warning message (MAXI DOT Dis-
play) and the symbol appears in the display of the instrument cluster.

MemoryFig. 25
Memory display: MAXI DOT display / Segment Display
The system stores data from the two memories described below, which are
then displayed at position
A
» Fig. 25 .
“1” - Single-trip memory
Drive data is stored from when the ignition is switched on to when it is switch-
ed off. If the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition,
new data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
“2” - Long-term memory
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1,999 kilometres driv-
en.
The indicator is automatically set back to zero if one of these two values is ex-
ceeded.

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 operating under different weather conditions
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
If you would like to operate your vehicle in countries other than those with itsintended weather conditions, you should contact a ŠKODA Partner. He or she
will advise you if certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the full func-
tioning of the vehicle or to prevent damage (e.g. coolant, changing the battery
or similar).
Statutory checks
Read and observe
on page 110 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 checking 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 110 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 guidelines and instruc-
tions 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.

WARNING (Continued)■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 - 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.
Trailer operation
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
The vehicle is not approved for towing a trailer. The vehicle is not factory-
equipped with a towing device and it cannot be retrofitted with a towing de-
vice.
WARNINGNever attach a towing device to the vehicle.
Acceptance and recycling of used vehicles
Read and observe
on page 110 first.
All new ŠKODA vehicles are 95% recyclable.
Service intervals
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Overview of service intervals
113
Fixed service intervals QI1 - QI4
113
Digital Service Plan
113
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 42.
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: ▶ Frequent short trips.
▶ Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶ Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
▶ 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.

Coolant
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Checking and refilling
125
The coolant helps to keep the engine temperature down, and consists of wa-
ter and coolant additive (with additives that protect the cooling system against
corrosion and prevent furring).
The proportion of coolant additive in the coolant must be 40 to 60 %.
The correct mix of water and coolant additive should be checked and if neces-
sary corrected by a specialist garage.
WARNING■ The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » page 120.■
Never open the end cover of the coolant expansion reservoir while the
engine is still warm. The cooling system is pressurised - risk of scalding or
injury from splashes of coolant!
■
To protect against the coolant splashing, cover the cap with a cloth when
opening.
■
Coolant and coolant fumes are harmful - avoid contact with the coolant. If
the coolant comes into contact with the eye or skin, wash the affected area
with plenty of water for several minutes, and where appropriate seek medi-
cal help.
CAUTION
Do not cover the radiator and install any parts (e.g auxiliary lights.) in front of
the air intakes - risk of the engine overheating.124General Maintenance
