First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 21.
The diesel particulate filter separates the soot particles from the exhaust. The
soot particles collect in the diesel particulate filter where they are burnt on a reg-
ular basis.
If the warning icon  illuminates, soot has accumulated in the diesel particulate
filter.
To clean the diesel particle filter, and where traffic conditions permit
for at least 15 minutes or until the warning icon  goes out as follows.

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 warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
As long as the warning icon  lights up, you must take into account an in-
■

creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the
engine.
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce the
■
life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you which
countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
■
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.
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.
