Speedometer; Coolant Temperature Gauge; Fuel Gauge - Skoda Fabia Owner's Manual

16 Instruments and warning lights
Shift into the next higher gear or select the selector lever position D of the automatic
gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale.
Avoid high engine speeds during the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature  page 145.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to reduce the fuel consumption, minimises
operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life and
reliability of the engine.

Speedometer

Warning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres
per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle speed goes
below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.

Coolant temperature gauge*

is switched on.
In order to avoid any damage to the engine, please pay attention to the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges.
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet
reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full throttle
and at severe engine loads.
 page 15, fig. 15
operates only when the ignition
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into
the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may also move further to the right at high
engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the warning

symbol in the instrument cluster does not flash.

If the symbol in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low. Observe the guidelines
 page 29, "Coolant temperature/coolant quantity  ".
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes  page 166, "Working in the engine
compartment" before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads.

Fuel gauge*

The fuel gauge

The fuel tank has a capacity of about 45 litres. The warning symbol
cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 7
litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you, that you must
refuel.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
On some vehicles, the fuel gauge is shown in the display of the instrument cluster.
