Mileage (kilometre) indicators
The odometer registers the total distance travelled of the vehicle.
The trip counter (trip) shows the miles (kilometres), which were driven after the
last reset of the trip counter. The last digit indicates 1/10 miles (100 metres).
Outside temperature display
At outside temperatures colder than +4 °C (+39 °F), a "snow flake symbol" (black
ice warning) also appears on the outside temperature display. This symbol flashes
initially and then stays lit until the outside temperature increases above +6 °C
(+43 °F).
If the vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed), the temperature indica-
ted may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature because of heat
radiated by the engine.

Service appointments at ŠKODA are distinguished between events with engine oil
change, such as interval service, and events without engine oil change, such as
inspection service. The service interval display only tells you the service appoint-
ments, which include an engine oil change. All other service appointments, such
as the next due inspection service or brake fluid change are indicated on the
sticker on the door frame of the vehicle or in the service schedule.
For vehicles with time- or mileage-dependent service, fixed service intervals are
specified.

If a service is due soon, a service reminder appears when switching on the igni-
tion.
In the instrument cluster display a wrench symbol , and a miles display appear.
The stated mileage is the maximum number of miles that can be driven until the
service appointment is due. The display will change after a few seconds. A clock
symbol and the number of days until the due service appointment will appear.

When a service is due, an acoustic signal sounds and the flashing wrench symbol
 appears for a few seconds when you switch on the ignition.
