Skoda Rapid Operating Instructions Manual page 33

Cold range
If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle
and high engine loads. This prevents possible damage to the engine.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the middle of the scale
High temperature range
If the pointer reaches the red area of the scale, the coolant temperature is too
high.
CAUTION
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
■
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
■
Note
On vehicles with the multifunction display, the coolant temperature can be
shown on the display by the corresponding driving data entry being selected

The display provides information on the fuel level in the container.
The display only works if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres.
The reserve zone is indicated by the red area of the scale
displaying only the last two segments of the scale
ing glass.
The warning light illuminates when the fuel level reaches the reserve range
» page 35.
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous
■
curves, braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indi-
cates approx. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the
fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.
The arrow  next to the icon  within the fuel gauge displays the installation

location of the fuel filler on the right-hand side of the vehicle.
