▶ You can drive on, exercising appropriate caution. Seek assistance from a spe-
cialist garage immediately.
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-
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 a high 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.
