Introduction2
On-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this “Owner's
Manual” as well as a “Service schedule” and a “Help on the road”. There
can also be a variety of other additional operating manuals and instructions on-board (e.g. an operating manual for the radio) depending on the
vehicle model and equipment.
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a
specialist garage immediately, where one will be glad to assist you in such
matters.
One should note that the details given in the vehicle's papers always
take precedence over those in the Owner's Manual.
Owner's Manual
This Owner's Manual describes the current scope of equipment.
Certain items of equipment listed are only installed later on and only
envisaged for particular markets. The illustrations can differ in minor
details from your vehicle; they are only intended for general information.
In addition to information regarding all the controls and equipment, the
Owner's Manual also contains important information regarding care and
operation for your safety and also to retain the value of your vehicle. To
provide you with valuable tips and aids. You will learn how you can
operate your vehicle safely, economically and in an environmentally
conscious way.
For safety reasons, please also pay attention to the information on
accessories, modifications and replacement of parts ⇒ page 204.
The Service schedule
Contains:
• Vehicle data;
• Service intervals;
• Overview of the service work;
• Service proof;
• Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries);
• important information on the warranty.
The confirmations of the carried out service work are one of the conditions for possible warranty claims.
Please always present the Service schedule when you take your car to a
specialist garage.
If the Service schedule is missing or worn, please contact the specialist
garage where your car is serviced regularly. You will receive a duplicate, in
which the previously carried out service work are confirmed.
Help on the road
contains the most important telephone numbers in individual countries
as well as the addresses and telephone numbers of Škoda importers.
The other chapters of the Owner's Manual are also important, however,
for proper treatment of your car - in addition to regular care and maintenance - helps to retain its value and in many cases is also one of the
conditions for possible warranty claims.

Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy for
you to find and absorb the information you require.
Chapters, table of contents and subject index
The text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are
combined into easy-to-read chapters. The chapter you are reading at any particular moment is highlighted at the bottom right of the page.
The Table of contents is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject index at the end of the Owner's Manual helps you to rapidly find the information you are looking for.
Sections
The majority of Sections apply to all models.
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clearly
unavoidable, despite dividing the contents into sections, that mention may be
made of equipment which is not fitted to your vehicle.
Equipment which is marked * is only standard on certain vehicle model versions or
only suppliable as optional equipment for certain models.
Brief information and instructions
Each section has a Heading.
This is followed by Brief information (in large italic lettering), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section.
Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an Instruction (in relatively large
letters) which explains to you in a straightforward way the action you have to take.
Work steps which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.
Direction indications
All direction indications such as “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.
Explanation of symbols
* Equipment which is marked in such a way is only standard on certain vehicle
model versions or only suppliable as optional equipment for certain models.
End of a section.
The section is continued on the next page.
Notes
All four kinds of notes, which are used in the text, are always stated at the end of t he
respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading Warning. These

Fig. 18 Instrument cluster
When the lights are switched on, the instrument cluster is illuminated.
The version of the instrument cluster can differ depending on the equipment.
Engine revolutions counter
The start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒ fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run
in and operating at a normal temperature. Shift into the next higher gear or change
into the selector lever position D of the automatic gearbox before reaching this
zone.
One should shift to a lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”.
1
Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 19
A4A
During the driving time and always before the engine has reached its operating
temperature, generally avoid high engine speeds ⇒ page 163.
Caution
The needle of the revolutions counter must on no account move into the red zone
of the scale - risk of engine damage!
For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to reduce the fuel consumption, minimises operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer
life and reliability of the engine.
Coolant temperature gauge*
The coolant temperature gauge ⇒ page 18, fig. 18 operates only when the ignition is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following
notes regarding the temperature ranges:
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale* it means that the engine has not
yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer has
reached the mid-range of the scale*. The pointer may also move further to the right
at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol in the instrument cluster does not flash.
If the symbol in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Observe the guidelines
⇒ page 32, “Coolant temperature/coolant level ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒ page 185, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!
Fuel gauge*
The fuel gauge ⇒ page 18, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer drops to the reserve marking . There are now
about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you, that
you must refuel.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can result in
poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and
damage the catalytic converter.

switching on the ignition. You can then switch over to the counter display with the
reset button.
Reset button
By briefly pressing the reset button ⇒ page 18, fig. 18 you can switch over from
the trip counter to the kilometer counter. In order to recognise which counter for
the distance driven is shown on the display at that moment, trip appears on the trip
counter above the information of the driven route ⇒ fig. 19.
If you hold the reset button pressed for about 1 second, the trip counter is set
back to zero.
If you hold the reset button pressed for longer than 3 seconds, a display
regarding the kilometers still to be driven and the days until the following service
interval (for this the trip counter is not set back) appears.
Fault disp lay
dEF appears permanently in the display field of the counter for distance driven if
there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have the fault rectified as soon as possible
by a specialist workshop.

• resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection;
• makes an entry in the Service schedule;
• affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
The Service Interval Display can also be reset with the reset button as follows:
6
• Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.
• Switch the ignition on, release the reset button and turn the reset button to the
right. The service interval display is reset.
Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself otherwise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
• Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.
• information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.
• it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instrument cluster
is installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.
• The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by a specialist garage which is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.
• Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.

Outside temperature
Fig. 23 Multi-functional
indicator: the outside
temperature
The outside temperature appears in the display when the ignition is switched on.
The correct value will be indicated with a delay of 5 minutes. If the vehicle is
stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the temperature indicated may be slightly
higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat radiated by the engine.
If the outside temperature drops below +4°C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears with the outside temperature indicator ⇒ fig. 23 and a
warning signal* sounds for 10 seconds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature
display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be
present on the road surface even at temperatures around +4°C - warning,
drive with care!
Note
The outside temperature is not indicating when showing navigation data ( guidance
to the destination). It must be called up over the menu (valid for vehicles which
have a navigation and information display).
Range
The estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance
you can still drive with your vehicle based on the present level of f uel in the tank for
the same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 km.
The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range.
If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly.
You first drive 50 km if the readout is reset (after disconnecting the battery) before
a new readout for the range is displayed.
Current fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This
