Hi All,

Greetings.

 

I received my Skoda Kamiq Signature [semiconductor "optimised" i.e. blind assist + rear traffic alert removed] - australia.

I happen to have a couple of queries. Yes, I have checked for them on the forum but didn't find any to help with and hence thought to raise them here with those on the better side of experience than me

 

Q1] Does this mean "Emission control system faulty" sign?

Image attached. This sign lights up when I start the car. It is a brand car and am not sure how it can have an "Emission control system faulty" at the very start? I hope this does not also mean - Engine is on or something. Could anyone please clarify.

Refer https://gimmemanuals.com/owners/2021/07/2021-skoda-kamiq-owners-manual.pdf Pg 151

 

Q2] Information/Breakdown/SOS call panel

I noticed that there is no Information/Breakdown/SOS call panel as shown in the user manual. It also mentions of The ŠKODA Connect services.

Is this available for Australia? 

https://gimmemanuals.com/owners/2021/07/2021-skoda-kamiq-owners-manual.pdf Refer Pg 124.

As per https://availability.skoda-auto.com/004/en-com#/, Australia does not seem part of it, but yeah thought to check with other Skoda Kamiqers from Australia to be sure

After you switch on the ignition, the system carries out tests on a number of items to check they are working.  The warning lights for these items will go off automatically a few seconds after turning on the ignition if all is well.  This applies to the emissions controls.

Thanks Seasider.
Yeah, I tend to look at these at the start. Let me give it  a ride again to see if these are persistent or initial check-ups [hopefully it as you have mentioned]

These show for seconds; If you start the engine then put your seatbelt on they should be out before you get second gear (or reverse out your parking space).

Pages 8 and 9 list all the warning lights and page 106 gives you more on what to do if the emissions light comes on and stays on or comes on when driving.

Thanks, everyone for the inputs.
So, the emission [orange] light remains when the engine is in switch off mode. Definitely not lit up when I am driving.

 

I mentioned this to my car dealer and he sent me a vid of an existing car in his showroom. All cars seem to have this orange lit up till you begin to drive. Not sure if it is an issue or this is just a pre check way of things 🙂

Attached the video from my dealer.

 

Wrt. the Information/Breakdown/SOS call panel it is not part of Australia car.
