Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Engine performance check (petrol engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 14.
If the warning light lights up, there is a fault in the engine control. The system
allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode.
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
Diesel particle filter (diesel engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 14.
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a reg-
ular basis.
If the indicator light
lights up, soot has accumulated in the filter.
To clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, drive as follows for at
least 15 minutes or until the indicator light
goes out.
›
4 or 5 Gear engaged (automatic transmission: position S).
›
Vehicle speed at least 70 km/h.
›
Engine speed between 1800-2500 rpm.
If the filter is properly cleaned, the warning icon
goes out.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display.
Diesel particulate filter: Log book!
The system allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After switching the ig-
nition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.
Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
WARNING
■
The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
park in areas where the hot filter can come into direct contact with dry grass
or other combustible materials – there is the risk of fire!
■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
■
As long as the warning light lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
engine.
■
Using diesel fuel with increased sulphur content can significantly reduce the
service life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA Partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with increased sulphur content.
Note
■
To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.
■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
Fuel reserve
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 14.

The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display.
