Fuel Reserve; Airbag System; Tyre Control Display - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

WARNING
The diesel particle filter achieves very high temperatures. Therefore do not
■
park in areas where the hot filter can come into direct contact with dry grass
or other combustible materials – there is the risk of fire!
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
■
tions. The recommendations indicated by the indicator light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
As long as the indicator light lights up, one must take into account an in-

creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
engine.
Note
To assist the combustion process of the soot particles, we recommend that reg-
■
ularly driving over short distances should be avoided.
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
■
life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA service partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
■
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.
