WARNING (Continued)
Never spill operating fluids over the hot engine - risk of fire.

If you intend to work underneath the vehicle, you must secure the vehicle
■
from rolling away and support it with suitable supporting blocks; the car
jack is not sufficient – risk of injury!

Always top up using the correct specification of fluids. This may result in major
operating problems and also vehicle damage!
For the sake of the environment
In view of the requirements for the environmentally friendly disposal of fluids
and the special tools and knowledge required for such work, we recommend
that fluids be changed by a specialist garage.
Note
Please consult a specialist garage for any questions relating to fluids.

Fluids with the proper specifications can be purchased from the ŠKODA Origi-
■
nal Accessories or from the ŠKODA Genuine Parts ranges.
