Service intervals
Introduction
The service interval display in the display of the instrument cluster will remind
you to carry out every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time
in order to prevent you from forgetting
The completion of services can be verified through the printed verification
from the digital service schedule and the respective receipts.
The specified service intervals are tailored to normal operating conditions.
In the case of aggravated operating conditions, it will be necessary to have
some service work carried out before the date of the next regular service or
between the specified service intervals. This applies mainly to the cleaning or
the replacement of the air filter insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as
well as checking and replacing the toothed belt, but also to vehicles with diesel
particle filters, which can put greater strain on the engine oil.
The following is taken to mean aggravated operating conditions:
Fuel containing sulphur.
▶
▶
Frequent short trips.
▶
Longer periods of engine idling (e.g. taxis).
▶
Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution.
▶
Frequent trailer operation.
▶
Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as is e.g. often the case in city driving.
Operation predominantly during winter.
▶
You will be told at the specialist garage whether the operating conditions of
your vehicle may make it necessary for service work to be carried out be-
tween the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply according to the particular scope of work
required, the vehicle type and specification, and your vehicle's condition.
Note
The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
■
changing or replenishing the oil, even during the warranty period, unless stated
otherwise in the ŠKODA AUTO warranty terms or other agreements.
You will be informed about the service checks and actions at each service by
■
the specialist garage.

Overview of service intervals
Fig. 258 Vehicle data sticker: Service interval
The service interval prescribed by the manufacturer is indicated on the vehicle
data sticker
» Fig.
258. The vehicle data sticker is affixed in the Owner's Man-
ual and under the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
One of the following service intervals applies for your vehicle.
▶
Fixed service interval QI1.
▶
Fixed service interval QI2.
Fixed service interval QI3.
▶
Fixed service interval QI4.
▶
▶
Variable service interval QI6.
At service interval QI6, the oil change interval is dependent on the operating
intensity of the vehicle and the local conditions. For example, your vehicle is
subjected to different demands when driven over short distances than when
driven over long distances. The intervals are therefore variable.
In order to operate a vehicle with a variable service interval, it must only be
filled and topped up with the prescribed engine oil.
If this engine oil is not available, the oil change is subject to a fixed service in-
terval. In this case, the vehicle must be changed to the fixed service interval.

For vehicles with variable service interval QI6 you can initiate a change to the
■
fixed service interval or back to the variable service interval to be carried out
by a specialist garage.
