Skoda Octavia 2014 Owner's Manual page 213

On vehicles with the Infotainment system with button , the speed limit can
be set for winter tyres » Infotainment operating instructions, chapter Adjust
vehicle systems (CAR button) .
For other vehicles, there is the possibility to set the speed limit for winter tyres
at a specialist garage.
Only use winter tyres or rims that have been approved by ŠKODA for your mod-
el of vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
Fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they provide better handling
properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and reduced tyre wear
on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
The fuel consumption is also lower.
Snow chains
When driving on wintry roads, snow chains improve not only traction, but also
the braking performance.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels.
For technical reasons, it is only permissible to fit snow chains with the follow-
ing wheel/tyre combinations.
