WARNING
Never exceed the maximum permissible load bearing capacity and speed
for the tyres fitted – risk of accident.
Operating in winter conditions
All-year (or “winter”) tyres
All-year or “winter”tyres (indicated by an M+S or a mountain peak/snowflake
symbol ) to improve the performance of the vehicle in winter conditions.
To get the best possible driving characteristics, all-year or “winter”tyres, with a
minimum tread depth of 4 mm on all four wheels, should be fitted.
If “winter” tyres are mounted, summer tyres should be fitted again in good
time as they provide better handling properties, a shorter braking distance,
less tyre noise and reduced tyre wear on roads which are free of snow and ice
as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
Speed symbol
All-year or “winter”tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol )
of a lower speed category than listed in the vehicle’s technical documentation
can be used provided that the maximum permissible speed for these tyres is
not exceeded even if the maximum possible speed of the vehicle is higher.
If the vehicle has all-season or “winter”tires of a lower speed category, as the
specified maximum speed of the vehicle is (does not apply to factory-supplied
tire), a warning sign with the maximum value provided for the mounted tire
speed rating must be affixed inside the vehicle and at a place in the driver's
field of vision which is constantly visible. This specification determines the
maximum vehicle speed with mounted all-season or “winter”tires, that may not
be exceeded
Snow chains
The snow chains improve handling in wintry road conditions.
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 15 mm. Remove the
full wheel trims before installing the snow chains
Snow chains must only be fitted on the front wheels and are applicable only to
the following wheel / tyre combinations.
Rim size
Impression depth D
Tyre size
5J x 14
35 mm
165- 70
5J x 14

WARNING
Do not use chains on snow and ice-free routes - the handling would be im-
paired and there is a risk of damage to the tyres.

Changing a wheel
Preliminary work
For safety's sake, the following instructions must be observed before
changing a wheel on the road.
›
As far as possible park the vehicle as far as possible away from the traffic
flow - choose a place with a flat and firm surface.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
For vehicles with instruction transmission select 1st gear.
›
For vehicles with automated transmission shift the lever to position D or R.
›
Firmly apply the handbrake.
›
Switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle at the
prescribed distance.
›
Have all the occupants get out. The passengers should not stand on the
road while the wheel is being changed (they should remain behind a crash
barrier, for instance).
Changing a wheel
›
Remove the spare wheel
.
›
Remove the full wheel trim
or caps
.
›
Loosen the wheel bolts
»
.
›
Jack up the vehicle until the wheel that needs changing, is clear of the
ground
.
›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,
etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
›
Lower the vehicle.
›
Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“pull-
ing crossways”)
›
Replace the wheel trim
and caps
When fitting a wheel with unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of ro-
tation is correct
.
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If screws are corroded and diffi-
cult to move, these must be replaced.
WARNING
■
Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn), provided the vehicle
has not yet been jacked up. Otherwise the wheel could come loose and fall
off – risk of injury.
■
Under no circumstances must the bolts be greased or oiled - cause an ac-
cident.
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage
compartment and secure with a locking screw.
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.
›
Check tyre pressure on the mounted wheel and adjust if necessary and, with
vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible.
The prescribed tightening torque is 110 Nm.
Replace the damaged tyre. Repairing the tyre is not recommended.
WARNING
Tightening torque which is too high can damage the threads and this can
result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim. Where
tightening torque is too low, the wheels may become loose while driving -
risk of accident. Therefore drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed
until the tightening torque has been checked.

WARNING
■
If the tire does not inflate to at least 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The
sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre.
Do not drive the vehicle!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
■
The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-
ing inflated – risk of burning.
CAUTION
Switch off the air compressor at the latest after the running time according to
the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer has elapsed - otherwise there is
the risk of compressor damage! Allow the air compressor to cool a few mi-
nutes before switching it on again.
Information on driving with repaired tyres
Read and observe on page 127 first.
The inflation pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked after driving for 10
minutes.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or less
›
The tyre cannot be properly sealed with the breakdown kit.
Do not con-
tinue to drive! Seek help from a specialist garage.
If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar or more
›
Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value
.
›
Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
WARNING
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre. The following guidelines must therefore be observed.
■
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).
■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
Jump-starting
Introduction
WARNING
■
The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment
■
When handling the vehicle battery, the following warnings must be ob-
served
.
■
A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just be-
low 0 °C. If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the bat-
tery of another vehicle – risk of explosion and injury!
■
Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an electrolyte level that is too low
– risk of explosion and caustic burns.
Jump-starting using the battery from another vehicle
Fig. 157 Jump-starting: - discharged battery, - power-supplying
battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system
Read and observe on page 129 first.
If, because of a discharged battery, it is not possible to start the engine, the
battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. To do this, jump-
start cables are required which have a sufficiently large cross-section and insu-
lated terminal clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the
power-supplying battery must not be significantly lower than the capacity of
the discharged battery.
129
Emergency equipment and self-help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.
›
Attach clamp
1
to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
›
Attach clamp
2
to the positive terminal of the power-supplying battery.
›
Attach clamp
3
to the negative terminal of the power-supplying battery.
›
For vehicles with the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to the ground
point of the engine
A
.
›
For vehicles without the START-STOPsystem, attach clamp
4
to a solid
metal part firmly attached to the engine block or directly to the engine block.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Initiate the starting process in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure
and repeat after half a minute.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
WARNING
■
Never clamp the jump cable to the negative terminal of the discharged
battery - risk of explosion.
■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – there is a risk of short circuit.
■
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehi-
cle – there is a risk of short circuit.
■
Position the jump cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts in
the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-
age.
Towing the vehicle
Information about the towing process
Fig. 158 Braided tow rope / Spiral tow rope
To tow with a tow rope, only use a braided synthetic fibre rope
-
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar only to the towing eye at the front
Conditions for towing.
Vehicles with automated manual transmission cannot be towed with
the rear wheels raised - risk of gearbox damage!
If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle
raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.
The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer
if it is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the tow-
ing distance is greater than 50 km.
Driver of the towed vehicle
›
If possible, the vehicle should be towed with the engine running. The brake
booster and power steering only operate if the engine is running, otherwise
much greater force has to be applied to the brake pedal and more power has
to be expended for steering.
›
If it is not possible to start the engine, switch on the ignition so that the
steering wheel does not lock and so that the turn signal lights, windscreen
wipers and windscreen washer system can be used.
›
Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N if the
vehicle is fitted with an automated transmission.
130
Do-it-yourself
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING
■
Spiral tow ropes must not be used for towing
- , the towing
eye may unscrew out of the vehicle - risk of accident.
■
Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.
CAUTION
■
Do not tow-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine! The battery from
another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid
■
For off-road towing manoeuvres, there is a risk to both vehicles that the fas-
teners may become overloaded and damaged.
Note
We recommend that you use a tow rope from ŠKODA Original Accessories.

Introduction
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 or high beam unit or the fog lamp.
Visit a specialist garage if an LED diode is faulty.

WARNING
■
Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment
■
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 difficulty
by other road users.
■
Bulbs H4, H7 and H8 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there
is a risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
CAUTION
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.
Note
■
This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is
possible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising.
Other bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.
■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle.
