▶

Causes of uneven tyre wear

Improper tyre pressure.

▶

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

and braking).

▶

Wheel position error.

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.

Instructions for tyre mounting

Comply with the speciﬁed direction of travel, oth-

›

erwise the driving characteristics may be impaired.

The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by

arrows on the wall of the tyre.

Always replace tyres by axle.

›

additional information

Only use approved radial tyres of the same type, size

(rolling circumference) 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 COCDocument).

The declaration of conformity can be obtained from

a ŠKODA partner (applies to some countries and

some model variants).

All-season or winter tires

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

Tire wear indicator

.

There are wear indica-

tors in the proﬁle base of

the tires, which indicate

the permissible minimum

proﬁle 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 tire

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.

ﬂanks using the letters

TWI or other symbols,

e.g. , mark the position

of the wear indicators.

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

indicator is ﬂush with the tread.

Conditions of use

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.

If all-season or winter tires are used that have a low-

er speed category than the actual maximum speed

of the vehicle, then proceed as follows.

WARNING

Risk of accident!

Do not use worn tires.

Set the speed limit in the Infotainment according

to the category of the ﬁtted tires.

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).

›

▶

›

Tire manufacturing date

The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre

sidewall.

For example, DOT ... 10 19 means that the tire was

manufactured in the 10th week of 2019.

Settings

WARNING

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

ment in the following menu item.

Risk of accident!

Do not use tires that are older than 6 years.

Wheels › Snow chains 205

A temporary spare wheel is provided with a warn-

ing label on the rim. This wheel is intended to ena-

ble you to reach the nearest specialist garage.

▶

Or:

Inﬂate a space saver wheel with the maximum pre-

scribed pressure.

Snow chains

Usage

Emergency wheel

A warning label is displayed on the rim of the tempo-

rary spare wheel. This wheel is intended to enable

you to reach the nearest specialist garage.

The snow chains improve driving in wintry road con-

ditions.

An emergency wheel is signiﬁcantly narrower than

the wheels mounted ex-factory.

WARNING

Risk of accident as well as tyre damage!

Do not use chains on routes that are free from

snow and ice.

▶

Remove and insert the wheel on vehicles

without a sound system

The spare wheel or emergency wheel is mounted in a

recess under the ﬂoor covering or the variable load-

ing ﬂoor in the boot.

What you should be mindful of

Before ﬁtting the snow chains, remove the full

wheel trims.

›

The SEAL tyres have increased resistance to air leak-

age when punctured.

When replacing SEAL tyres with standard tires, the

vehicle must have one of the following pieces of

equipment.

NOTICE

Risk of vehicle damage!

Make sure that the jack is attached correctly to the

bridge of the sill.

Turn the screw a maxi-

that the wheel does

not come loose and fall

oﬀ.

After having been changed

Check the tyre pressure on the mounted wheel

and adjust if necessary.

›

For vehicles with a tire control display, save the tire

pressure values in the system.

›

Pickups for the jack

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 140 Nm.

Drive carefully until the tightening torque is checked.

Replace the damaged tyre. It is not recommended to

repair the tyre.

WARNING

Risk of accident!

Too low a tightening torque may cause the wheel

to disengage while driving.

Excessive tightening torque can damage the

thread and deform the rim.

After using the kit

Breakdown kit

If a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar cannot be achieved, the

tyre is too damaged and cannot be sealed with the

puncture set.

Content overview

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

the luggage compartment.

Stop driving. Get the help of a specialist company.

›

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 throttle accelerations, hard braking and

fast cornering.
