DIESEL PM FILTER OWNER MANUAL

Seek assistance from a specialist garage immediately.
WARNING
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
■
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.
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
■
combustion 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.
