.
Use a suitable windscreen washer fluid in accordance with the current or ex-
pected weather conditions. We recommend that you use accessories from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
CAUTION
■
If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight cleaning system, then only use
windscreen washer fluid types that do not attack the polycarbonate coating of
the headlights - otherwise there is a risk of damage to headlights.
■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when
replenishing it with liquid otherwise the liquid transportation system can be-
come contaminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to mal-
function.
Engine oil
Introduction
The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use
throughout the year - except in extreme climate zones.
We therefore recommend that the oil change is carried out by a ŠKODA Serv-
ice Partner.
The engine oil should be changed after specified service intervals » page 262.
Depending on the driving style and operating conditions, the engine uses some
oil (up to 0.5 l / 1 000 km). Consumption may be slightly higher than this dur-
ing the first 5 000 km.
WARNING
The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on
the engine compartment » page 272.

In some countries, 4.7 ltr. applies for both variants.
