Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights 28Low beam
The warning light
comes on when low beam is selected ⇒page 51.
Rear fog light
The warning light
comes on when the rear fog lights are operating ⇒page 53.
Alternator
The warning light
comes on after the ignition has been switched on. It should go
out after the engine has started.
If the warning light does not go out after the engine has started, or comes on when
driving, drive to the nearest specialist garage. The vehicle battery will be discharged
in this case so switch off all non-essential electrical components.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
ALTERNATOR WORKSHOP!
Caution
If the warning light
comes on when driving and in addition the warning light
(cooling system fault) also comes on in display, you must then stop the car imme-
diately and switch the engine off - risk of engine damage!
Fog lights*
The warning light
comes on when the fog lights are operating ⇒page 52.
Cornering lights*
If the warning light
flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the
ignition and a warning signal sounds, a fault is confirmed.Further information ⇒page 52.
WARNING
f there is a fault in the cornering lights, the headlights are automatically
lowered to the emergency position. Thus the illuminated length of the road
is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected immediately by a
specialist garage.Electrohydraulic power steering
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.
If the warning light after switching on the ignition or when driving lights up contin-
uously, a fault exists in the electrohydraulic power steering.
•
If the yellow warning light lights up, this indicates a partial or total failure of the
power steering and the steering forces can be greater.
Further information ⇒page 160.
WARNING
Contact your specialist garage if the power steering is defective.
Note
•
If the yellow warning light
goes out after starting the engine again and a short
drive, it is not necessary to visit a specialist garage.
•
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the yellow warning light
comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light must go out after
driving a short distance.•
There is no power-assisted steering support when the vehicle is being towed
without the engine running or when the power-assisted steering is defect. The
vehicle is fully steerable however. There is however increased force required to turn
the steering wheel.

Lights and Visibility 52
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not
bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by
other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it
is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.
•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.
•
The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.
•
In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside.
−The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head-
light lenses is decisive.
−When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
−It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
−This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
Cornering lights*
For a better cornering illumination the cornering lights are controlled in the optimal
position in line with the vehicle speed and the steering angle.
If the warning light
flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the
ignition and a warning signal sounds, a fault is confirmed.
WARNING
If there is a fault in the cornering lights, the warning light
flashes in the
instrument cluster. The cornering lights are automatically lowered to the
emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and
have the car inspected immediately by a specialist garage.
Fog lights*
Switching on the fog lights
– First of all turn the light switch into position
or
⇒fig. 50.
– Pull the light switch out to the first detent .
The rear fog light warning light

Technical Data
Fog lights with the function “Corner”*
The fog lights with the function “Corner” improve the illumination of
areas close to the vehicle when turning, parking etc.The fog lights with the function “Corner” are regulated according to the steering
angle or after switching on the turn signal light
4) in the following circumstances:
•
the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running or it moves with a speed of
maximum 40 km/h;
•
the daylight driving lights are not switched on
•
low beam switched on;
•
no reverse gear engaged;
•
no hazard warning light system switched on.
A fault in the system of the fog lights with the function “Corner” is confirmed by the
warning light lighting up or flashing
.
Note
If the fog lights are switched on, the function of the lights “Corner” is not active.Rear fog light
Switching on the rear fog light
– First of all turn the light switch into position
or
⇒page 52,
fig. 50.
– Pull the light switch out to the second detent . The fog lights* light
up at the same time.
If the vehicle is not fitted with fog lights*, the rear fog light is switched on by turning
the light switch to the position
and is pulled out directly to the position . This
switch does not have two positions, but only one position.The rear fog light warning light
⇒page 26 lights up in the instrument cluster
when the fog light is switched off.
Only the rear fog light of the trailer lights up if the vehicle is fitted with a towing
device from Škoda original accessoriesand when you are towing a trailer which
is fitted with the rear fog light.
Caution
The rear fog light should only be switched on if visibility is particularly poor
(conform with any varying legal provisions) to avoid dazzling vehicles behind your
vehicle.Headlamp range adjustment
Once the low beam is switched on you can then adapt the range of
the headlights to the load of the vehicle.– Turn the control dial ⇒fig. 51 until you have adjusted the low beam
so that oncoming traffic is not dazzled.Settings
The positions correspond approximately to the following vehicle loads:
Front seats occupied, luggage compartment empty.
All seats occupied, luggage compartment empty.
4)If both switch on versions are conflicting, for example if the steering wheel is turned to the
left and the right turn signal light is switched on, the turn signal light has the higher priority.
