If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window being
moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re- moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible toautomatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.

The lights work only with the ignition on, unless otherwise stated.
The layout of the controls on right-hand drive vehicles partially differs from that
shown in » Fig. 23 on page 43. The symbols which mark the positions of the
controls are identical.
WARNING■ Never drive with only the side lights on! 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. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.
■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
NoteThe headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched on,
the light outlet areas are free from condensation after a short time, although the
headlight lenses may still be misted up around the edge. This mist has no influ-
ence on the life of the lighting system.

parked vehicle if necessary.■
Always turn the light switch to the 0 position if you are leaving the vehicle
and don't want to use the parking light.

On vehicles with separate lights for daylight driving lights in the fog lights or in
the front bumper, the parking lights and the licence plate light do not come on
when activating the function daylight driving lights (neither front nor rear).
If the vehicle is not equipped with separate lights for daylight driving lights, the
combination of the low beam, the parking lights (front and rear) including the li-
cence plate light is used as daylight driving lights.
Note
In vehicles with separate lights for daylight driving lights (in the bumper below
the main headlights) these lights also serve as side lights.

pressure point and release again.
WARNINGOnly turn on the main beam or the headlight flasher if other road users will
not be dazzled.ABCDNote■ The main beam can only be switched on when the low beam lights are on.■The headlight flasher can be operated even if the ignition is switched off.■
The turn signal system only operates when the ignition is switched on.
■
The turn signal is automatically cancelled after negotiating a curve.
■
The warning light flashes at twice its normal rate if a bulb for the turn signal
light fails.
Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 43.
For a better cornering illumination, the halogen projector headlights with corner-
ing light function are set in the optimal position in line with the vehicle speed and
the steering angle.
WARNINGIf the halogen projector headlights with cornering light function are faulty, the
headlights are automatically lowered to the emergency position, which pre- vents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic. Thus the illuminated length of
the road is shortened. Drive carefully and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.

The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate when
the ignition is switched on.
The rear window is wiped once automatically if the windscreen wipers are on when reverse gear is selected.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid » page 163.WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 52.■
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
■
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety rea-
sons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
CAUTION
■ In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or before
switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the
windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!■
If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on, the
windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the ignition is
turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be- tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again.
■
Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen.
Note
■ The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C.■
The content of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is 3.5 litres. On vehicles
fitted with the headlight cleaning system, the volume is around 5.4 litres.
■
The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen clean-
er to avoid any smears. The wiper blades should be cleaned with a sponge or
cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues, for example.

WARNING■Improper use of the 12-volt power socket and the electrical accessories can
cause fires, burns and other serious injuries.■
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. The 12-volt power socket
and any connected appliances can also be operated when the ignition is switched off or the ignition key is withdrawn.
■
If the connected electric device becomes too hot, switch it off and discon-
nect it from the power supply immediately.
CAUTION
■ The 12-volt power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical
accessories with a total power uptake of up to 120 watt.■
Never exceed the maximum power consumption, otherwise the vehicle's elec-
trical system can be damaged.
■
Connecting electrical components when the engine is not running will drain the
battery of the vehicle – there is a risk of the battery discharging.
■
Only use matching plugs to avoid damaging the 12-volt power socket.
■
Only use accessories that have been tested for electromagnetic compatibility in
accordance with the applicable directives.
■
Before turning the ignition on or off, and before starting the car, switch off the
device connected to the 12-volt power socket to prevent any damage caused by
voltage fluctuations.
■
Observe the operating instructions for the connected devices!
