The particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a fire haz-

ard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the vehicle at

places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact with

flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel or

the like.

CAUTION

Average fuel consumption - is calculated continuously since the last time the

memory was deleted. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the

first 100 m driven. With G-TEC vehicles, the average consumption of fuel cur-

rently being used is displayed.
Current fuel consumption - when the vehicle is stationary or slowly moving,

the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (--,- km/l appears on models for some

countries). With G-TEC vehicles the current consumption of the fuel currently

being used is displayed ( with regards to a stationary or slow moving vehicle,

the natural gas consumption is displayed in kg/h).
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.

refuelled tank, an amount of fuel is displayed in litres. This amount can now be

safely refilled.

Natural gas qualityThe details of the quality of natural gas are displayed as a

percentage of between 70% to 100%. The higher the value of natural gas, the

lower is the consumption.
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,

Service intervals



Introduction

Compliance with the service intervals is of crucial importance for the serv-

ice life and value retention of the vehicle. Never exceed the service date.
The specialist garage will inform you about the type of service interval, the op-

tion to change it, and the service scope.
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will notify

you when a service is due.

Service record

A specialist garage will confirm the corresponding service record in the service

information system called Digital Service Plan.
We recommend that you always print out the respective service record.

Note

The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including

changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless stated

otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO warranty terms or other binding agreements.

Introduction

The vehicle is equipped with a central locking system which makes it possible

to unlock / lock all the doors, the fuel filler flap and boot lid simultaneously.
The door unlocking can be adjusted individually 

» page 62

.

The unlocking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing

twice.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next

45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically.
The locking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing once.
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the

turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.

WARNING

■

Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthorized

persons (e.g. children) could lock the car, turn on the ignition or start the

engine - there is a danger of injury and accidents!

■

When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-

dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals

might not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help themselves.

Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!

CAUTION

■

Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected

against moisture and severe shocks.

■

Keep the keyway clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a negative

effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.
