Glow plug system (diesel engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 12.
The warning light comes on after the ignition has been switched on. The en-
gine can be started immediately after the pre-glow warning light goes out.
There is a fault in the glow plug system if the warning light does not come on
at all or lights up continuously.
If the warning light begins to flash while driving, a fault exists in the engine
control. The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode.
Seek help from a specialist garage.

Diesel particle filter (diesel engine)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 12.
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.
In order to clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit »
, the vehicle
should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 -
2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with the 4th
or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S) when the traffic situation
permits it.
The indicator light only goes out after the diesel particulate filter has been
successfully cleaned.
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 engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After
switching the ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.
Seek help from a specialist garage.
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.
Note
To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
lifespan of the filter. A ŠKODA service partner will be able to tell you which coun-
tries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
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.
