WARNING
Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
■
rain and traffic conditions.
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
■
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into con-
tact with flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spil-
do
led fuel or the like.
CAUTION
As long as the warning light illuminates, one must take into account an
■
increased fuel consumption and 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
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the
combustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.
