Diesel fuel
Read and observe and on page 257 first.
The correct fuel for the vehicle is specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 292 on page 257.
Your vehicle can only be operated with diesel fuel that complies with the Eu-
ropean Standard EN 590 (also standard DIN 51628 in Germany, standard
ÖNORM C 1590 in Austria, GOST R 52368-2005/EN 590:2004 in Russia).
The diesel fuel may contain maximum 7% biodiesel (B7 - In Germany in ac-
cordance with DIN 52638, in Austria ÖNORM C 1590, in France EN 590).
Operating under different weather conditions
Use only diesel in accordance with the current or expected weather condi-
tions. Ask the petrol station personnel whether the diesel fuel offered corre-
sponds to these conditions.
CAUTION
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of en-
gine damage and damage to the exhaust system.
■
If a different fuel other than diesel fuel, which complies to the above men-
tioned standards (e.g. petrol) is put into the tank, do not start the engine or
switch on the ignition!
■
The biofuel RME must not be used!
CAUTION
Diesel fuel additives
■
The diesel fuel in accordance with the prescribed standards meets all the
conditions for a smooth running engine. Therefore, we recommend that you
do not add any fuel additives to the diesel - - there is a risk of engine damage
or damage to the exhaust system.
AdBlue
®
and its refilling
Introduction
In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue
®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
Only use AdBlue
®
that corresponds to the standard ISO 22241-1. Do not add
additives to AdBlue
®
.
The AdBlue
®
-consumption depends on driving style, the operating tempera-
ture of the system and on the weather conditions.
The AdBlue
®
tank filling is about 12 litres.
WARNING
AdBlue
®
can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. If your eyes or skin
come into contact with the AdBlue
®
fluid, immediately wash the affected
area with water. Seek medical assistance if required.
CAUTION
AdBlue
®
attacks the surface of some materials (e.g. as painted parts, plastics,
fabrics). Clean the areas affected with AdBlue
®
using a damp cloth and plenty
of cold water. Remove any dried AdBlue
®
with warm water and a sponge.
Note
■
The AdBlue
®
solution freezes at a temperature of -11° C and lower. The sys-
tem has an automatic heater to ensure operability at low temperatures.
■
We recommend purchasing AdBlue
®
refill bottles from the ŠKODA original
parts.
■
The working life of the AdBlue
®
solution is 4 years. If the tank contents are
not used within this period, then this is to be replaced by a specialist garage.
When toppig up, do not use AdBlue
®
for which the shelf life has expired.

AdBlue
®
is a registered trademark of the VDA. AdBlue
®
is also known as AUS
32 (Aqueous Urea Solution) or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).
Check level
Read and observe
and on page 259 first.
The AdBlue
®
level is automatically monitored.
If the available travel distance that can be completed with the remaining AdBl-
ue
®
tank capacity drops to about 2400 km, the warning appears on the in-
strument cluster and a request for replenishment of AdBlue
®
appears.
An indication also appears in the instrument cluster showing the maximum and
minimum AdBlue
®
tank capacity.
