Introduction

This supplement replaces the Owner's manual OCTAVIA Edition 05.09 (referred to in the following simply as the Owner's manual).

The information given in this supplement takes preference over the information contained in the Owner's manual.

Special accessories are marked with a *.

We wish you a good journey at all times

Škoda Auto a.s.

Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*

The multi-functional indicator (depending on the equipment) provides the following information:

• oil temperature

NoteIf the oil temperature is lower than 50°C or if a fault in the system for checking the oil temperature is present, three lines are displayed instead of the oil temperature.

Set-up

You can select the following information (depending on the equipment installed on the vehicle):

• Language

Seat belt warning light

The warning light only indicates if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.

Electronic stability programme (ESP)*

When the ESP system helps to stabilise the vehicle, the warning light flashes quickly.

The ESP system cannot be switched off, the TCS system can only be switched off by pressing the button ⇒ fig. 1, then the indicator light flashes slowly.

The warning light lights up permanently if there is a fault in the ESP system.

If the warning light comes on immediately after starting the engine, the ESP system can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the ESP system can be switched on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP system is fully functional again.

Removeable through-loading bag* 3

Removeable through-loading bag*The removeable through-loading bag is solely used for transporting skis.

The through-loading bag is foreseen for four pairs of skis. The total weight of the skis which are transported must not exceed 17 kg.

Securing

– Tighten the strap on the free end around the skis in front of the bindings ⇒ fig. 5.

– Fold the seat backrest a little forward.

– Guide the securing strap through the opening in the seat backrest around the upper part of the seat backrest.

– Then push the seat backrest back into the upright position until the locking button clicks into place - check by pulling on the seat backrest.

– Insert the securing strap into the lock until it is heard to lock in place.

On vehicles fitted with a net partition, guide the securing strap around the net parti-tion housing when the net partition is rolled up. After fixing the net partition in place, it is not longer possible to unroll the net partition.

WARNING• After placing skis into the through-loading bag, you must secure the bag with the securing strap .

• The strap must hold the skis tight.

• Make sure that the strap holds the skis in front of the binding (see also imprint on the removeable through-loading bag).

Driving in an economical and environmentally conscious manner

Shift recommendation for changing gears*

On certain vehicles, the currently engaged gear ⇒ fig. 6 is shown in the display of the instrument cluster.

In order to minimise the fuel consumption, a recommendation for shifting into another gear is indicated in the display.

If the control unit recognises that it is appropriate to change the gear, an arrow is shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether it is recom-mended to shift into a higher or lower gear.

At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently engaged gear .

Environmental compatibility

Trade-in and recycling of old cars

Škoda Auto meets the requirements of the brand and its products regarding environ-ment and ressource protection. All new Škoda vehicles can be utilized up to 95% and always 1) be returned. In a lot of countries sufficient trade-in networks have been created, where you can trade-in your vehicle. After you trade-in your vehicle, you will

receive a confirmation stating the recycling in accordance with environmental regula-tions.

NoteDetailed information about the trade-in and recycling of old cars is available from a Škoda Service Partner.

Driving through bodies of water on roads

In order to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads), observe the following:

• Determine the depth of the water when driving through bodies of water. The water can reach at the maximum the web on the lower sill of the vehicle ⇒ fig. 7.

• Drive no more than at walking speed. At a higher speed, a water wave can form in front of the vehicle which can cause water to penetrate into the air induction system of the engine or into other parts of the vehicle.

• Never let the vehicle stand in the water, never drive backwards and do not switch off the engine.

WARNING• Driving through water, mud, sludge etc. can reduce the braking power and extend the braking distance - risk of accident!

1) Subject to fulfilment of the national legal requirements.

Vehicle tool kit 5

• Avoid sudden and severe braking manoeuvres immediately after driving through bodies of water.

• After driving through bodies of water, the brakes must be cleaned and dried as soon as possible by intermittent braking. Only apply the brakes for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake discs if the traffic conditions permit this. Do not place any other road users in jeopardy.

Caution• When driving through bodies of water, parts of the vehicle such as the engine, gearbox, catalytic converter, chassis or electrics can be severely damaged.

• Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permissible water level for your vehicle.

• Potholes, mud or rocks can be hidden under the water making it difficult or impos-sible to drive through the body of water.

• Do not drive through salt water. The salt can lead to corrosion. Immediately rinse all the parts of the vehicle, which came into contact with the salt water, with fresh water.

NoteAfter driving through a body of water, we recommend that the vehicle is checked by a specialist garage.

Vehicle tool kit

The vehicle tool kit and the lifting jack* are housed in a box in the spare wheel* or in the space for the spare wheel.

Changing a wheel

Subsequent steps

Change the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about possibilities for getting repairs done.

Warning triangle*

The warning triangle can be attached to the trim panel of the rear wall with rubber straps.

Vehicles with LPG drive

Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*

The information on the following specifications of the multi-functional indicator is only valid in petrol mode.

• Current consumption,

• average fuel consumption,

• range.

Refuelling with LPG

The LPG filling pressure may vary within some countries for different refuelling systems. If the filling pressure is too low, it can occur that the filling valve does not slam closed when filling up. When the filling valve does not close, a clearly audible clatter can be heard from the tank area. In this case, refuelling with LPG must be finished manually. This effect is not a fault of the LPG system of your vehicle.

Fuel gauge

The LPG filling level in the tank can change through inertia forces while driving. This can briefly alter the displayed amount of LPG in the tank.

WARNING (continued)


Vehicles with LPG drive6

Service work

These specifications replace the service work which is listed in the supplement for vehicles with LPG drive.

Every 30 000 km

• Cover and filler tube for LPG (liquefied petroleum gas): Inspect condition, clean if necessary and check the O-rings.

• Gas hoses: Visual inspection for signs of damage.
