Skoda Karoq (2019 year). Manual - part 18

Once a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar is achieved, continue the journey

at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

WARNING

■

If the tire does not inflate to at least 2.0 bar, the damage is too great. The

sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. 



 Do not continue to drive!

Seek help from a specialist garage.

■

The tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot as the tyre is be-

ing inflated – risk of burning.

CAUTION

Switch off the air compressor at the latest after the running time according to

the instructions of the repair kit manufacturer has elapsed – otherwise there is

the risk of compressor damage! Allow the air compressor to cool a few mi-

nutes before switching it on again.

Information for driving with repaired tyres



Read and observe   on page 283 first.

The inflation pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked after driving for 10

minutes.

If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less

›

The tyre cannot be properly sealed with the breakdown kit. 



 Do not drive

the vehicle! Seek help from a specialist garage.

If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more

›

Set the tyre pressure back to the correct value 

» page 275

.

›

Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum

speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

WARNING

A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard

tyre. The following guidelines must be observed.

■

Do not drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph).

■

Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.

Jump-starting



Introduction

WARNING

■

The following instructions must be followed at all times when working on

the engine compartment 

» page 267

.

■

When handling the vehicle battery, the following warnings must be ob-

served 

» page 272

.

■

A discharged vehicle battery may already freeze at temperatures just be-

low 0 °C. If the battery is frozen, do not carry out a jump start with the bat-

tery of another vehicle – risk of explosion!

■

Never jump-start vehicle batteries with an acid level that is too low – risk

of explosion and caustic burns!

Start using the battery from another vehicle

Fig. 326  Jump-starting:  - discharged battery,  - power-supplying

battery/ground point of the engine for the START-STOP system



Read and observe   on page 285 first.

If it is not possible to start the engine due to a discharged vehicle battery, the

battery of another vehicle can be used to start the engine. Only use jump-start

cables which have an adequately large cross-section and insulated terminal

clamps.
The rated voltage of the two batteries must be 12V. The capacity (Ah) of the

current-giving battery must not be significantly less than the capacity of the

discharged battery in your vehicle.



285

Emergency equipment and self-help

The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.

›

Attach clamp 

1

 to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.

›

Attach clamp 

2

 to the positive terminal of the current-giving battery.

›

Attach clamp 

3

 to the negative terminal of the current-giving battery.

›

For vehicles with the START-STOP system, secure the clamp 

4

 to the

ground point of the engine 

A

 

» Fig. 326

.

›

For vehicles without the START-STOP system, secure the clamp 

4

 to a solid

metal part that is firmly attached to the engine block or secure to the engine

block directly.

Starting engine

›

Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.

›

Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

›

If the engine does not start within 10 s, then cancel the starting procedure

and repeat after half a minute.

›

Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.

WARNING

■

Never clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-

charged battery - danger of explosion.

■

The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each

other – risk of short circuit!

■

The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery

must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehi-

cle – risk of short circuit!

■

Route the jumper cables so that they cannot be caught in rotating parts in

the engine compartment - danger of injuries and the risk of vehicle dam-

age.

Towing the vehicle

Information about the towing process

.

Conditions for towing.

Cars with automatic gearboxes must not be towed with the rear wheels

raised - there is a risk of gearbox damage!
If the gearbox has no oil, your vehicle must be towed with the front axle

raised clear of the ground or on a breakdown vehicle or trailer.
The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h.
The vehicle must be transported on a special breakdown vehicle or trailer

if it is not possible to tow in the vehicle in the way described or if the tow-

ing distance is greater than 50 km.

Driver of the tow vehicle

›

On vehicles with manual transmission, engage gear slowly when starting.

›

On vehicles with automatic transmission, accelerate with particular care.

›

Only then approach correctly when the rope is taut.

Do-it-yourself

Driver of the towed vehicle

›

If possible, the vehicle should be towed with the engine running. Operate the

brake booster and power steering only if the engine is running, otherwise the

brake pedal must be depressed more strongly and more power has to be

directed to the steering.

›

If it is not possible to start the engine, switch on the ignition so that the

steering wheel is not locked and so that the turn signal lights, windscreen

wipers and windscreen washer system can be used.

›

Take the vehicle out of gear or move the selector lever into position N if the

vehicle is fitted with an automatic gearbox.

›

Always keep the tow rope taut during the towing procedure.

WARNING

■

Wound tow ropes must not be used for towing 

» Fig. 327

- , the towing

eye may unscrew out of the vehicle - risk of accident.

■

Ensure tow rope is not twisted - risk of accident.

CAUTION

■

Do not tow-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine! The battery from

another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid 

» page 285

, Jump-starting.

■

In the case of off-road towing manoeuvres, for both vehicles there is the risk

that the fastening parts could be overloaded and damaged.

Introduction

This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-

ble to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other

bulbs or LED lights must be replaced by a specialist garage.
For this reason, we recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or

seeking other expert help in the event of any uncertainties.

▶

Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.

▶

Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-

tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.

We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage

after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.

WARNING

■

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the

engine compartment 

» page 267

.

■

Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-

ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty

by other road users.

■

H7 and H8 bulbs are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -

risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety

glasses when changing a bulb.

CAUTION

■

Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest

amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,

napkin, or similar.

■

The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-

light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - risk of

damage to the headlights.

Note

We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the vehi-

cle.

Introduction

The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-

dence over the details in the Owner's Manual.
The listed performance values were determined without performance-reduc-

ing equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
The values given have been determined in accordance with the rules and con-

ditions specified in statutory or technical regulations for determining opera-

tional and technical data for motor vehicles.
The values listed are for the basic model without any optional equipment.

Vehicle data

Fig. 355 

Type plate

Type plate

The rating plate 

» Fig. 355

 is located at the bottom of the B-column on the

right-hand driver's side.
The type plate contains the following data.

Vehicle manufacturers
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
Maximum permissible gross weight
Maximum permissible towed weight (towing vehicle and trailer)

1

2
3
4

Maximum permissible front axle load
Maximum permissible rear axle load

Vehicle identification number (VIN)

The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into

the engine compartment on the right hand suspension strut dome. This num-

ber is also located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen

(together with a VIN bar code), and on the type plate.
The VIN can also be displayed in the 



/  →  → Events menu.

Engine number

The engine number is embossed in the engine block.

Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)

The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the

registration documents, field 17.

Maximum permissible towed weight

The listed maximum allowable trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to

1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the vehicle's climbing

power. Therefore, for every additional 1000 m in height (or part), the maxi-

mum permissible towed weight must be reduced by 10%.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights of the loaded towing vehi-

cle and the loaded trailer.

WARNING

Do not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of acci-

dent and damage!

Operating weight

This value is only a guide value and corresponds to the lowest possible operat-

ing weight without any equipment added that would also increase the weight

(e.g. emergency or spare wheel etc.). This includes 75 kg driver's weight, the

weight of the operating fluids and the on-board tool kit and a fuel tank filled to

min. 90%.
