Electronic Differential Lock (EDL and XDS)*
XDS function (Fabia RS and Fabia RS Combi only)
XDS is an extension to the electronic differential lock. XDS does not respond to traction,
but to the relief of the inner front wheel during fast cornering. XDS applies pressure to
the brake of the inner wheel to prevent it from spinning. Thus, the traction is improved
and the vehicle follows the desired track.
Grades of petrol
Prescribed types of fuel - unleaded petrol RON 98/95
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you can refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, continue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead
to serious engine damage! Refuel with petrol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emergency. Otherwise you can cause serious engine damage!

Tyre repair kit*
General information
The tyre repair kit is located in a box under the carpet in the luggage compartment.
Use the tyre repair kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or a
puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do not remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or
nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately.
The repair with the tyre repair kit is not at all intended to replace a permanent repair
on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Do not use the tyre repair kit:
• to repair wheel damage,
• in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
• with tears or punctures greater than 4 mm in size,
• to repair damage to the tyre wall,
• when driving with very low tyre pressure or with a completely flat tyre,
• if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.

• If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the prescribed
distance from your vehicle. Comply with the national legal regulations. In this
way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.
• Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat
and firm a surface as possible.
• A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
• Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, (50 mph).
• Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
• Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes.
• Sealant is hazardous to heath. Remove immediately if it comes into contact
with the skin.
Used or aged sealant must be disposed of in accordance with environmental protection regulations.
• Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the tyre repair kit.
• You can purchase a new bottle of sealant from the range of the Škoda original
accessories.
• Change the wheel that was repaired using the tyre repair kit or consult a specialist
garage about possibilities for getting repairs done.
