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 warning notes before completing any work
in the engine compartment » page 128.■
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. 

The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-
dence over the details in the Owner's Manual.
The performance values listed were determined without performance-reduc- ing equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
The values given have been determined in accordance with regulations and in
conditions prescribed by legal or technical provisions for determining the oper-
ating and technical data of vehicles.
The listed values are for the basic model without optional equipment.
Vehicle dataFig. 199
Vehicle data sticker/type plate
Vehicle data sticker
The vehicle data sticker » Fig. 199 -
 is located on the base of the luggage
compartment and is also stuck into the Owner's Manual.
The vehicle data sticker contains the following data. Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Vehicle type
Gearbox code/paint number/interior equipment/engine output/engine code
Partial vehicle description
Approved tyre diameter in inches 1)
The approved tyres and rim sizes for your vehicle are listed in the vehicle's
technical documentation (the so called COC document) and this also states the
declaration of conformity.
Type plate
The type plate » Fig. 199 -
 is located at the bottom of the B-pillar on the
right-hand driver's side.
The type plate contains the following data. Vehicle manufacturers

Maximum permissible rear axle load
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into
the engine compartment on the right hand suspension strut dome. This num-
ber is also located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen
(together with a VIN bar code), and on the type plate.
The VIN number can also be displayed in Infotainment » Owner´s Manual - In-
fotainment .
Engine number
The engine number (three-digit identifier and serial number) is stamped on the
engine block.
Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)
The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the
registration documents, field 17.
Maximum permissible towed weight
The listed maximum allowable trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to
1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the vehicle's climbing
power. Therefore, for every additional 1,000 m in height (or part), the maximum
permissible towed weight must be reduced by 10%.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights of the loaded towing vehi-
cle and the loaded trailer.WARNINGDo not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of acci-
dent and damage!
Operating weight
This value is only a guide value and corresponds to the lowest possible operat-
ing weight without any equipment added that would also increase the weight
(e.g. air conditioning, emergency or spare wheel etc.). It also includes a weight
allowance for the driver (75 kg), the weight of the operating fluids, the tool kit
and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.

Note
If required, you can find out the precise weight of your vehicle at a specialist
garage.
Payload
It is possible to calculate the approximate maximum payload from the differ-
ence between the permissible total weight and the operating weight.
The payload consists of the following weights.
▶ The weight of the passengers.
▶ The weight of all items of luggage and other loads.
▶ The weight of the roof, including the roof rack system.
▶ The weight of the equipment that is excluded from the operating weight.
▶ Trailer draw-bar load when towing a trailer (max. 50 kg).
Measurement of fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions according to
ECE Regulations and EU Directives
The data on fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions were not available at the
time of going to press.
The data on fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions are given on the ŠKODA
websites or in the sales and technical vehicle documentation.
The measurement of the intra-urban cycle begins with a cold start of the en-
gine. Afterwards urban driving is simulated. 
