Caution
• Filling the tank even only once with biofuel, which does not comply with
the standard DIN EN 14 214, can result in damage to the fuel system.
• The possibility to refuel with biofuel only applies to vehicles, which
have been adapted at the factory for its use. Filling the tank even only
once with biofuel, which does comply with the standard DIN EN 14 214,
can otherwise result in damage to the fuel system.
• Water which has collected in the fuel filter can result in engine prob-
lems.
• It is prohibited to use biofuel and diesel fuel mixture (RME) for diesel
vehicles which are fitted with diesel particle filter.
Note
• On the inside of the fuel filler flap you will find the information whether
your vehicle can be driven with biofuel.
• When using biofuel certain maintenance work must be carried out
earlier than when using diesel fuel according to DINEN590 - see Service
schedule.
Operation in winter
Winter-grade diesel fuel
A different grade of diesel fuel is available at filling stations in winter than
during the summer. Using “summer-grade diesel fuel” at temperatures
below 0°C can result in operational problems because the diesel becomes
viscous as a result of paraffin separation.
It is therefore the case that DIN EN 590 prescribes diesel fuel class for
certain periods of the year which can also be purchased at the corre-
sponding time during the year. “Winter-grade diesel fuel” will still operate
properly even at a temperature of -20°C.
It is often the case in countries with different climatic conditions that diesel
fuels available have a different temperature characteristic. Škoda dealers
and filling stations in the country concerned will be able to provide you with
information regarding the diesel fuels available.
Prewarming fuel
The vehicle is fitted with a fuel filter prewarming system. This secures
operation of a vehicle using diesel fuel down to an environmental temper-
ature of -25°C.
Caution
It is not permitted to add the various fuel additives on the market, including
petrol, to diesel fuel in order to improve its flow properties.
