Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights
Further information about the TCS ⇒ page 186, "Traction control system
(TCS)*".
Antilock brake system (ABS)
The warning light
shows the functionality of the ABS and the Electronic
Differential Lock (EDL).
The warning light comes on for a few seconds after the ignition has been
switched on or when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after
an automatic check sequence has been completed.
A fault in the ABS
The system is not functioning properly if the warning light
out within a few seconds after switching on the ignition, does not light up
at all or lights up while driving. The vehicle will only be braked by the
normal brake system. Visit a specialist garage as quickly as possible and
adjust your style of driving in the meantime since you will not know how
great the damage is.
Three additional warning tones will sound if there is a major fault in the
ABS.
Further information about ABS ⇒ page 189, "Antilock brake system
(ABS)".

WARNING
•
If the brake system warning light
ABS warning light
stop the vehicle immediately and check the
brake fluid level in the reservoir ⇒ page 227, "Brake fluid". If the
brake fluid level has dropped below the MIN marking, do not drive
any further - risk of accident! Contact a Škoda dealer to obtain
professional assistance.
•
Pay attention to the following instructions ⇒ page 219,
"Working in the engine compartment" before checking the brake
fluid level and opening the bonnet.
•
If the brake fluid is at the correct level, the ABS control function
has failed. The rear wheels may then block very rapidly when
braking. In certain circumstances, this can result in the rear end of
the car breaking away - risk of skidding! Drive carefully to the
nearest specialist garage and have the fault rectified.
Electronic immobiliser
Data is compared between the ignition key and the control unit when
switching on the ignition. The indicator light
seconds when ignition key authorisation is confirmed.
The warning light will start flashing continuously if a non-authorised igni-
tion key (for example the wrong ignition key) has been used. The engine
cannot be started ⇒ page 41.
