NOTICE

Ignition coils

Protect tyres from contact with lubricants and

fuel.

Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and,

where possible, dark place. Tyres without rims

should be stored in an upright position.

▶

Alloy rims can be damaged by grit.

▶

Do not use light alloy rims with a high-sheen sur-

face in wintry weather conditions or with snow

chains

Causes of uneven tyre wear

Improper tyre pressure.

▶

Driving style (e.g. fast cornering, rapid acceleration

and deceleration).

▶

Wheel alignment errors.

Incorrect wheel balancing.

▶

Wheel changes

For uniform wear on all

tyres, we recommend

that you change the

wheels every 10,000 km

according to the sched-

ule.

Advice for tyre assembly

With directional tires, the correct direction of rota-

tion must be observed. The direction of rotation of

the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the

tyre.

›

Always replace the tyres by the axle.

›

Additional information

Only ﬁt radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling cir-

cumference) and the same tread pattern on one axle.

Approved tyre sizes are speciﬁed in the technical ve-

hicle documentation and in the declaration of con-

formity (in the so-called COC Document).

The declaration of conformity can be obtained from

a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some

models).

Usage

WARNING

Do not exceed the maximum permissible load and

speed for the mounted tires.

▶

All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winter

weather conditions. They are characterised by ‘M+S’

and a mountaintop and snowﬂake symbol

Tread wear indicators

.

Wear indicators are loca-

ted in the proﬁle of the

tyres that display the

permissible minimum

tread depth.

What you should be mindful of

For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four

wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.

Markings on the walls of

the tyres with the letters

TWI or other symbols

(e.g. ) indicate the po-

sition of the wear indica-

tors.

Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-

priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and

braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads

and at temperatures above 7 °C.

A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear

indicator is ﬂush with the tread.

Usage conditions

If all-season or winter tyres are installed that have a

lower speed category than the actual speciﬁed maxi-

mum vehicle speed, then proceed as follows:

The tread depth can be measured with a tread

depth gauge on the ice scraper. The ice scraper is lo-

cated on the inside of the fuel ﬁller ﬂap.

In Infotainment, set the speed limit according to

the category of tyres ﬁtted.

In the driver's ﬁeld of view, aﬃx a warning label

with the maximum value of the speed category in-

tended for the tyres ﬁtted (applies only to certain

countries).

›

WARNING

Risk of accident!

Do not use worn tires.

›

▶

Tyre manufacturing date

The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre

sidewall.

For example, DOT ... 10 20 means that the tyres

were produced in the 10th week of the year 2020.

WARNING

Risk of an accident!

Do not use tyres that are older than 6 years.

The speed limit setting for tyres is set in the Infotain-

system and replace

Snow chains

Usage

The spare wheel or emergency wheel is mounted in a

recess under the ﬂoor covering or the variable load-

ing ﬂoor in the boot.

The snow chains improve driving in wintry road con-

ditions.

WARNING

Removing

Risk of accident as well as tyre damage!

Loosen the retaining

belt and take out the

box with the tool kit.

Do not use chains on routes that are free from

snow and ice.

▶

Take out the wheel.

›

What you should be mindful of

Before ﬁtting the snow chains, remove the full

wheel trims.

›

Only mount the snow chains on the front wheels.

›

Jacking points for the jack

In vehicles with a tyre indicator, save the tyre pres-

sure values in the system.

›

Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts of

the mounted tyres checked with a torque wrench

as soon as possible.

›

The speciﬁed tightening torque is 120 Nm.

Drive carefully until the tightening torque is checked.

Replace the damaged tyre. It is not recommended to

repair the tyre.

WARNING

Risk of an accident!

puncture set.

Breakdown kit

Content overview

Stop driving. Seek the help of a specialist garage.

›

The kit is located in a box under the ﬂoor covering in

the luggage compartment.

Once a tyre pressure of 2.0–2.5 bar is achieved, con-

tinue the journey at a maximum speed of 80 km/h

(50 mph).

Avoid full accelerations, strong braking and fast

cornering.

›

Information for driving with repaired tyres

The pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked

after driving for 10 minutes.

›

If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar and less, do not con-

tinue! Seek the help of a specialist garage.

›

If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar, correct

the pressure to the correct value of at least 2 bar

and continue driving.
