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

Wheel changes

For uniform wear on all

tyres, we recommend

that you change the

wheels every 10,000 km

according to the sched-

ule.

WARNING

Do not exceed the maximum permissible load and

speed for the mounted tires.

▶

Tread wear indicators

Wear indicators are loca-

ted in the proﬁle of the

tyres that display the

permissible minimum

tread depth.

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.

›

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.

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).

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

indicator is ﬂush with the tread.

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.

The declaration of conformity can be obtained from

a ŠKODA Partner (valid for some countries and some

models).

All-season or winter tires

Usage

›

All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winter

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

Technical data

and a mountaintop and snowﬂake symbol

.

Permitted rim/tyre combinations for mounting of

snow chains:

What you should be mindful of

Rim size

Tyre size

For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four

wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.

205/60 R16

205/55 R17

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.

Only ﬁt snow chains with links and locks that are no

larger than 9 mm.

Usage conditions

Overview

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:

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.
