Mode motorway
In the mode “motorway” the dispersion of the co ne of light is so widespread, that it illu-
minates also the left (and right)
7) lane of the motorway, so that the driver can react in
time to an obstacle or any other danger. The mode is activated stepwise as of a speed
of 90 km/h. It gains its greatest effectiveness at speeds above 120 km/h.
Tourist light
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system, driving
on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the mode “tourist
light” is active, the above mentioned modes and the side to side swivel of the headlight
is deactivated.
The mode “tourist light” is activated / deac tivated via the information display* in the
menu:

Cornering lights
The cornering lights are used to illuminate the curves by means of the cone of light
swiveling together with the front headlight with Xenon lights*. This function is active
when the speed of the car increases to more than 10km/h.
The swiveling function of the headlights ca n be switched off / on via the menu point
Assistants in the main menu of the information display* page 23.WARNING
If the cornering ligh ts are defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, whic h prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have
the car inspected immediatel y by a specialist garage.

Inspecting and replenishing
226
Disconnecting and reconnecting the batteryOn disconnecting and reconnecting the batt ery the following functions are initially
deactivated or are no longer able to operate fault-free:
We recommend having the vehi cle checked by an authorised Škoda Service Partner to
ensure full functionality of all electrical systems.Replacing the batteryYou should only replace a battery with a ne w battery of the same capacity, voltage (12
V), amperage and of the same size. The auth orised Škoda Service Partners have a range
of suitable batteries available.
For the sake of the environment
Batteries contain poisonous substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with local environmental protection regulations and on no
account as domestic waste!
In view of the problems involved with it s proper disposal, we recommend having
the battery replaced by a specialist garage.
Windshield washer systemThe windshield washer reservoir contains the cleaning fluid for the windscreen or rear
window and for the headlamp cleaning system *. The reservoir is located at the front
right of the engine compartment fig. 188 .
The filling level of the container is about 3 litres and about 5.5 litres on vehicles which
have a headlight washing system.
Clear water is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen and headlights. We
therefore recommend using clean washing water together with the screen cleaner
from Škoda genuine accessories (in winter additionally with antifreeze) which is
capable of removing stubborn dirt. Follow the instructions for use on the packaging
when using screen cleaning products.
You should always add antifreeze to the cleaning water in winter even if your vehicle is
fitted with heated wind screen washer nozzles*.
It is also possible in exceptional cases to use methylated spirits when no screen cleaner
with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated spirits must not be more
than 15 %. Please note, however, that the anti freeze protection at this concentration is
only adequate down to -5°C.
WARNING
Read and observe the warning notes page 216, “Working in the engine
compartment” before working in the engine compartment.
