Companys Profile
The origins of what became Skoda Auto go back to the early 1890 when,
like many long-established car manufacturers, a company started manufacturing
bicycles. Skoda factories were founded in 1869. In 1894, 26-year-old Vaclav
Klement, who was a bookseller in Mlada Boleslav, Bohemia (today's Czech
Republic, then part of Austria-Hungary), was unable to obtain spare parts to
repair his German bicycle.
Skoda Auto is one of the largest car manufacturers in Central Europe. In
2012, 939,200 cars were sold worldwide, a record for the company
In 1898, after moving to their newly built factory, the pair bought a
Werner "Motocyclette". Laurin & Klement's first motorcyclette, powered by an
engine mounted on the handlebars driving the front wheels, proved dangerous
and unreliablean early accident on it cost Laurin a front tooth. To design a
safer machine with its structure around the engine, the pair wrote to German
ignition specialist Robert Bosch for advice on a different electromagnetic
system. The pair's new motorcycle made its debut in 1899.
In 1900, with a company workforce of 32, local production began and
150 machines were shipped to London for the Hewtson firm. Shortly
afterwards, the press credited them as makers of the first motorcycle. The first
model, Voiturette A, was a success and the company was established both
within Austria-Hungary and internationally. By 1905 the firm was
manufacturing automobiles, making it the second oldest car manufacturer in the
Czech lands after Tatra.
After World War I the Laurin & Klement company began producing
trucks, but in 1924, after running into problems and being affected by a fire on
their premises, the company sought a new partner.

Growth strategy
2010 was a year of important changes for Skoda Auto, in terms of both
products and management. On 1 September 2010, Prof. Dr. H.C. Winfried
Vahland assumed responsibility for the management of the company, becoming
the CEO of Skoda Auto. Under Vahland's leadership, Skoda set forth plans to
double the companys annual sales to at least 1.5 million by 2018.
At the 2010 Paris Motor Show in September 2010, the company unveiled
the Octavia Green E Line. This e-car concept was the forerunner to the e-car test
fleet that Skoda released in 2012. The final 1st-generation Octavia (Tour) was
produced at the Mlada Boleslav plant in November 2010. The worldwide
production of this model exceeded 1.4 million units since its release in 1996. In
2010 for the first time in history, China overtook German sales to become
Skoda's largest individual market.
In 2011, Skoda Auto celebrated its 20-year partnership with the
Volkswagen Group. More than 75,000 visitors attended an open-house event
held in Mlada Boleslav in the April. Earlier that year, the company provided
details on its 2018 Growth Strategy: for at least one new or completely revised
model to be released every six months. With this in mind, the company
redesigned its logo and CI, which was presented at the 2011 Geneva Motor
Show. Skodas main attraction at the event was the Vision D design concept; a
forerunner to the future 3rd generation Octavia. Skoda presented the Mission L

Warning against excessive speeds. An acoustic warning signal will sound
when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilo-meters per hour. The acoustic
warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle speed goes below
this speed limit.
Cold range
If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine
has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid running at high
engine speeds, at full throttle and at severe engine loads.

checking the oil temperature is present, three lines are displayed instead of
the oil temperature.

If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may
be caused by an operating problem at the coolant fan. Check the fuse of
the coolant fan, replace it if necessary.
If the warning light does not go out although the coolant is at the correct
level and also the fuse of the fan is in proper order, do not continue
driving. Contact a specialist garage to obtain assistance.
Engine oil
The warning light lights up red (low oil pressure). The warning light
comes on for a few seconds, when the ignition is switched on. Stop the
vehicle and switch the engine off if the warning light does not go off after
the engine has started or flashes while driving. Check the oil level and top
up with oil as necessary.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under
the conditions prevailing to top up with oil. Keep the engine switched off
and obtain professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it
could lead to severe engine damage.
If the warning light lights up yellow, the quantity of oil in the engine is
probably too low. Check as soon as possible the oil level or top up with
engine oil. A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
The warning light will go out if the bonnet is left open for more than 30
seconds. If no engine oil has been replenished, the warning light will come
on again after driving about 100 km.
The warning light flashes yellow (engine oil level sensor faulty). A fault
on the engine oil level sensor is indicated additionally by an audible signal

switched on. If the ESP helps to stabilise the vehicle (for example when
applying and releasing a braking force to an individual wheel), then the
indicator light flashes. The warning light lights up permanently if there
is a fault in the ESP system.
The fact that the ESP system operates together with the ABS means that
the ESP warning light will also come on if the ABS system is not
operating properly. If the warning light
starting the engine, the ESP system can be switched off for technical
reasons. In this case, the ESP system can be switched on again by
switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the ESP
system is fully functional again.

normal brake system. Visit a specialist garage immediately and adjust your
style of driving appropriately as you will not know how great the damage
is. If the ABS warning light comes on together with the brake system
warning light, there is a fault not only in the ABS but also in another part
of the brake.
Brake system
The warning light lights up when the brake fluid level is too low or there
is a fault in the ABS. If the warning light flashes and an audible signal
sounds three times, stop and check the brake fluid level.
Handbrake
The warning light comes on if the handbrake is applied. An audible
warning is also given if you drive the vehicle for at least 3 seconds at a
speed of more than 6 km/h.
Cruise control
The warning light lights up, when operating the speed regulating system.
