Service events
Support load with mounted accessories
When using the accessories (e.g. bicycle carrier), the
maximum length and the permissible total weight in-
cluding load must be considered.
service intervals
Compliance with service intervals is crucial for the
life and value of the vehicle.
You will be notified of the due date for service with
the symbol and the corresponding message on the
display of the instrument cluster.
The maximum length of the mounted accessories
(from the ball of the towing device) may not exceed
70 cm.
The specialist garage will inform you of the type of
service interval, the option of changing this and the
scope of service.
The permissible total weight of the mounted acces-
sories including its load corresponds to the maxi-
mum vertical load for trailer operation; the value can
be found in the vehicle registration documentation.
All services and the replacement or refilling of op-
erating fluids are chargeable to the customer, even
during the warranty period, unless the ŠKODA AUTO
warranty conditions or other binding agreements de-
termine otherwise.
If the maximum load in trailer operation is more than
75 kg, then the permissible total weight of the
mounted accessories including their load must not
exceed 75 kg.
Proof of service
A specialist garage stores the proof of service in the
information system called Digital Service Plan.
This value applies if the centre of gravity is at a dis-
tance of no more than 30 cm from the towing device
ball head.
The proof of service can be printed out.
If the distance of the centre gravity of the load to
the ball head of the towing device is greater than
30 cm, then the max. permissible total weight of the
accessory, including its load, decreases (e.g. at a dis-
tance of 60 cm from the ball head, the permissible
weight decreases by half).
Displaying the service due date in the Infotainment
system
In Infotainment, select the following menu:

Or:
If the distance between the centre of gravity of the
load and the ball head of the towing hitch is 70 cm,
the permissible total weight of the accessories in-
cluding their load is reduced to 0 kg.

Resetting information
We recommend that you do not reset the informa-
tion regarding service events on your own. It can
lead to incorrect setting of the service intervals and
thus also to possible faults in the vehicle.
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
Do not exceed the maximum vertical load.
▶
The permissible trailer load and the weight of an-
other accessory, e.g. of the bike carrier, is not to be
exceeded.
▶
For vehicles with a variable service interval, new
service interval values calculated according to the
previous operating conditions will be displayed after
the oil change service indicator is reset. These values
will then continue to be adjusted according to the
current operating conditions.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the trailer and the vehicle itself!
When using the accessory (e.g. bicycle carrier), ob-
serve the maximum length and the permissible to-
tal weight of the accessory incl.
