Over time, the gear knob and gear lever gaiter of the Skoda Octavia wear out to the point where they need to be replaced. To do this, we open the small storage compartment in front of the gear lever and use our fingers to detach the base of the gaiter.

We pull the base upwards until we uncover the base of the knob, then we loosen the metal clamp with a pointed lever, firmly grip the knob and pull upwards with force until it comes off. We take the gaiter and the new knob, insert it onto the lever, align the gear diagram, push downwards, lock the clamp at the base, pull down the gaiter and lock the base.

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
