– Reinstall the full wheel trim/wheel cap after removing the adapter or
place the cap onto the safety wheel bolt.
– Have the tightening torque checked with a torque wrench as soon as
possible. The tightening torque must be 120 Nm.
The safety wheel bolts on vehicles fitted with them (one safety wheel bolt per
wheel) can only be loosened or tighten up by using the adapter provided.
It is meaningful to note the code number hammered into the rear side of the
adapter or the rear side of the safety wheel bolts. You can obtain a replacement
adapter from a Škoda Service Partner, if necessary, by quoting this number.
We recommend that you always carry the adapter for the wheel bolts with you in
the vehicle. It should be stowed in the vehicle tool kit.
Caution
•
Damage can occur to the adapter and safety wheel bolt if the safety wheel bolt
is tightened up too much.
•
On steel wheels, the theft-deterrent wheel bolt must always be installed in the
hole, which is close to the valve. Otherwise the full wheel trim cannot be mounted
and the full wheel trim can be damaged during the assembly.
Note
The set of safety wheel bolts can be obtained from a Škoda Service Partner.

Driving Tips

Jump-starting

Initial steps
You can use the battery of another vehicle for jump-starting yours if the engine
does not start because the battery on your vehicle is flat. You will require jump-start
cables for this purpose.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the battery
supplying the power must not be significantly less than the capacity of the
discharged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insu-
lated terminal clamps. Please pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions.
Positive cable - colour coding in the majority of cases red.
Negative cable - colour coding in the majority of cases black.
WARNING
•
A discharged battery may already freeze at temperatures just below 0°C.
In case of frozen battery carry out no jump-starting - risk of explosion! Also
after thawing of the battery there is a risk of caustic burns due to leaking
acid. Replace the frozen battery.
•
Please pay attention to the warning instructions relating to working in
the engine compartment ⇒ page 185.
Note
•
There must not be any contact between the two vehicles otherwise current may
flow as soon as the negative terminals are connected.
•
The discharged battery must be properly connected to the system of the
vehicle.
•
Switch off any mobile phone, pay attention to the instructions for use of the
mobile phone in such a situation.
