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.
