Mode city In the mode “city”, the dispersion of the cone
of light in front of the vehicle is wider
and the width of illumination is shorter. It
has as an aim to il
luminate the adjacent
footpaths, crossings, pedestrian crossings etc. The mode is active at speeds of 15 - 50 km/h. Mode motorway In the mode “motorway” the disp
ersion of the cone of light is so widespread, that it
illuminates also the left (and right)

Winter position If the windscreen wipers are in rest posi
tion, they cannot be folded out from the
windscreen. For this reason we recommend
adjusting the windscreen wipers in
winter so that they can be folded out fr
om the windscreen easi
ly. You can set this
rest position as follows:•
Switch on the windscreen wipers.
•
Switch off the ignition. The windscreen wi
pers remain in the position in which
they were when switching off the ignition. You can also use the service po
sition as a winter position.
WARNING
•
Properly maintained windscreen wiper
blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving
⇒page 74.
•
Do not use the windscreen washer sy
stem at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could freeze on the windscreen and re
strict the view to the front.
•
The rain sensor only operates as a
support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manu- ally depending on the visibility conditions.
Caution
In frosty weather, please first of all chec
k whether the windscreen wiper blades are
not frozen to the windscreen before swit
ching them on. Switching on windscreen
wipers when the blades are frozen to the windscreen may result in damage both to the blades and the motor of the windscreen wipers!
Note
•
If the slower or the faster wiper setting is switched on
⇒page 73, fig. 73
and the vehicle speed decreases to below 4
km/h, the lower wiper step is switched
on automatically. At a speed increase of
more than 8 km/h the previous wiper
setting is established again.
•
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the obstacle continues to bloc
k the wiper, the wiper stops after 5 cycles,
in order to avoid a damage to the wiper.
Remove the obstacle and and switch on
the wiper again.Headlight cleaning system*The headlights are being cleaned after the
windscreen has been sprayed for the first
time and fifth time, the low beam or ma
in beam are switched on and the wind-
screen wiper lever was held in the position

for about 1
second. The headlight washer nozzles are moved fo
rward out of the bumper by the water
pressure for cleaning the headlights. You should remove stubborn dirt (such
as insect residues) from the headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. Please refer to the following guidelines. You should remove any snow from the fixtures of the washer nozzles and clear ice in winter with a de-icing spray in order to ensure proper operation of the cleaning system.Replacing wiper blades for the windscreen wipers

– With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is
down-regulated up to the switch-off. The intensity of the heating is indicated by the number of illuminated warning lights in the switch.
WARNING
If you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which are diff
icult to heal. If the seat heating is
used, we recommend to make regular br
eaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that in specific cases as mentioned above the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
Caution
•
You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points
in order to avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heaters.•
Do not use the seat heating if the seats are not occupied by persons or if objects
are fastened or stored on them, for exampl
e a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.•
Do not clean the seats moist
⇒page 216.
Note
•
The seat heating should only be switched
on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of sa
ving on the battery capacity.
•
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat
heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.PedalsConcerning a secure depressi
ng of the pedal, you should use only footmats from
the Škoda genuine
accessories.
Operation of the pedals must not be hindered!
WARNING
•
Greater pedal distances may be needed when there is a fault in the brake
system.•
Do not place any footmats or other additional floor coverings in the area
of the pedals in order to ensure that all the pedals can be fully depressed and are able to return unobstructed to thei
r initial position - risk of accident!
•
There must be no objects on the floor which could roll under the pedals.
You would then no longer be able to
apply the brakes, operate the clutch or
accelerator - risk of accident!luggage compartmentLoading the luggage compartmentPlease observe the following in the inte
rest of having good handling char-
acteristics of
your vehicle:
– Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible. – Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.– Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or the safety net*
⇒
page 87.
In the event of an accident, there is such a
high kinetic energy which is produced by
small and light objects that they can caus
e severe injuries. The magnitude of the
kinetic energy depends on the speed at wh
ich the vehicle is travelling and on the
weight of the object. The speed at which the
vehicle is travelling
is in this case the
more significant factor. Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces
an energy, which corresponds to 20 times
its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can

You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior temperature is regulated automatically with
in this range. If you chose a tempera-
ture lower than +18°C, a blue symbol lights
up at the start of the numerical scale. If
you chose a temperature higher than +26°C,
a red symbol lights up at the end of
the numerical scale. In both limit positio
ns the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. Th
e temperature is not controlled in this
case. Lengthy and uneven distribution
of the air flow out of the
vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.Recirculated air mode In recirculated air mode air is sucked
out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior
. When the automatic air distribu-
tion control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn-in air.Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is switched on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distributi
on control is automatically switched
off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle interior. Switching recirculated air mode on – Press the button repeatedly until the warning light on the left
side of the button lights up.
Switch on automatic air distribution control – Press the button repeatedly until the warning light on the right
side of the button lights up.
Switch off automatic air distribution control temporarily – If the air quality sensor does not switch on the air distribution control
automatically when there is a nauseating smell, you can switch it on yourself by pressing the button *. The warning light lights up in the button on the left side.
Switching recirculated air mode off – Press the button or press the button repetitively, until the
warning lights in the button go out.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci- dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
