Automatic load deactivation

Read and observe and
The vehicle voltage control unit automatically prevents the battery from dis-
charging when the battery is put under high levels of strain. This may be no-
ticed from the following.
›
The idling speed is raised to allow the generator to deliver more electricity to
the electrical system.
›
Where necessary, large convenience consumers such as seat heaters and
rear window heaters have their power limited or are shut off completely in
the event of an emergency.
CAUTION
Despite such intervention by the vehicle electric system management, the
■
vehicle battery may be drained. For example, when the ignition is switched on
a long time with the engine turned off or the side or parking lights are turned
on during longer parking.
Consumers that are supplied via a 12-V power socket can cause the vehicle
■
battery to discharge when the ignition is switched off.
Note
Driving comfort is not impaired by consumers being deactivated. The driver is
often not aware of it having taken place.

Only use tyres or wheel rims that have been approved by ŠKODA for your mod-

The national legal regulations must be observed for the use of tyres.
WARNING
Instructions for the use of tyres
For the first 500 km, new tyres do not yet provide optimum grip, and ap-
■
propriate care should therefore be taken when driving – risk of accident!
For reasons of driving safety, do not replace tyres individually.
■
Never exceed the maximum permissible load bearing capacity of moun-
■
ted tyres.
Never exceed the maximum permissible speed for the mounted tyres.
■
An incorrect wheel alignment at the front or rear impairs handling.
■
Unusual vibrations or pulling of the vehicle to one side could be a sign of
■
tyre damage. If there is any doubt that a wheel is damaged, immediately re-
duce your speed and stop! If no external damage is evident, drive slowly
and carefully to the nearest specialist garage to have the vehicle checked.
WARNING
Information regarding tyre damage or wear
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.
■
Never drive with damaged tyres – there is the risk of an accident occur-
■
ring.
