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.

After a decline caused by the economic depression, Skoda introduced a

new line of cars in the 1930s which significantly differed from its previous
products. A new design of chassis with backbone tube and all-around
independent suspension was developed under the leadership of chief engineer
Vladimir Matous and modelled on the one first introduced by Hans Ledwinka in
Tatra. First used on model Skoda 420 Standard in 1933, it aimed at solving
insufficient torsional stiffness of the ladder frame.
The new design of chassis became the basis for models Popular (8451,089 cc), Rapid (11651766 cc), and Superb (2.54 l). While in 1933 Skoda
had a 14% share of the Czechoslovak car market and occupied third place
behind Praga and Tatra, the new line made it a market leader by 1936, with a
39% share in 1938.
During the occupation of Czechoslovakia in World War II the Skoda
Works were turned into part of the Reichswerke Hermann Goring serving the
German war effort by producing components for military terrain vehicles,
military planes, other weapon components and cartridge cases. Vehicle output
decreased from 7,052 in 1939 to 683 in 1944, of which only 35 were passenger
cars. A total of 316 trucks were produced between January and May 1945. The
UK and US air forces bombed the Skoda works repeatedly between 1940 and
1945. The final massive air raid took place on 25 April 1945 and resulted in
almost the complete destruction of the Skoda armament works and
approximately 1,000 dead and injured.

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

become the basis of the companys forthcoming compact model the European
Rapid.
In the same year, the company started production of the new Rapid model
in Pune, India (October 2011).
During 2012 Skoda was preparing the introduction of two volume
models. The European version of the Rapid premiered at the Paris Motor Show.
This car was a successor to the 1st-generation Octavia in terms of its price
bracket. The second volume model was the 3rd-generation Octavia, which
premiered In December 2012. In the same month, the local production of the
Yeti was launched at the Nizhny Novgorod GAZ factory.
In 2012 Skoda introduced an emission-free fleet of Octavia Green E Line
e-cars on Czech roads to be used by external partners. Since internal tests on the
fleet in late 2011, the e-fleet had driven more than 250,000 km. During the same
year, Skoda celebrated several milestones, including fourteen million Skoda
cars being produced since 1905 (January), three million Fabias (May), 500,000
Superbs at the Kvasiny plant (June) and 5 years of Skoda operations in China.

Speedometer
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.

Coolant temperature gauge

The coolant temperature gauge operates only when the ignition is switched
on. Please pay attention to the following guidelines regarding temperature
ranges in order to avoid damage to the engine:

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.
Darvin Arora/1287728

Page 9

The operating range

The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer
moves into the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may also move further
to the right at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not
critical provided the warning symbol in the instrument cluster does not
flash. If the symbol in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either
the coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level is too low.

Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge only operates when the ignition is switched on.

The fuel

tank has a capacity of about 45 litres. The warning symbol in the

instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking.
There are now about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a
reminder for you, that you must refuel

Oil temperature
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 C or if a fault in the system for
checking the oil temperature is present, three lines are displayed instead of
the oil temperature.

EPC fault light (petrol engine)

The (Electronic Power Control) warning light comes on for a few seconds
when the ignition is switched on. If the warning light flashes after starting
the engine or flashes while driving, a fault exists in the engine control
system. The engine management system selects an emergency programme
which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a
gentle style of driving.

Darvin Arora/1287728

Page 10

Glow plug system (diesel engine)

The indicator light lights up for a cold engine when switching on the
ignition (pre-heat position). Start the engine after the indicator light goes
out. The glow plug indicator light will come on for about 1 second if the
engine is at a normal operating temperature or if the outside temperature is
above +5C. This means that you can start the engine right away. There is
a fault in the glow plug system if the warning light does not come on or
lights up continuously; contact a specialist garage as soon as possible to
obtain assistance. If the warning light begins to flash while driving, a fault
exists in the engine control. The engine management system selects an
emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist
garage by adopting a gentle style of driving.

Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity

The warning light lights up until the engine reaches operating temperature.
Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full throttle and at severe engine
loads. The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. The coolant temperature is too high or the coolant level too
low if the warning light lights up or flashes while driving. An audible
signal sounds as a warning signal. In this case stop and switch the engine
off and check the coolant level; top up the coolant as necessary,
replenishing the coolant.
Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible under
the conditions prevailing to top up with coolant. Keep the engine switched
off and obtain professional assistance from a specialist garage, otherwise it
could lead to severe engine damage.

Darvin Arora/1287728

Page 11

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
Darvin Arora/1287728

Page 12

and the warning light coming on several times after the ignition has been
switched on. In this case have the engine inspected without delay by a
specialist garage

Electronic stability programme (ESP)

The warning light

comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is

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

comes on immediately after

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.

Antilock brake system (ABS)

The warning light shows the functionality of the ABS. The warning light
comes on for a few seconds after the ignition has been switched on or
when starting the engine. The warning light goes out after an automatic
check sequence has been completed.
A fault in the ABS:
The system is not functioning properly if the ABS warning light does not
go out within a few seconds after switching on the ignition, does not light
up at all or lights up while driving. The vehicle will only be braked by the
Darvin Arora/1287728

Page 13

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.
