Windshield wiper and wash systemWindshield wiper You can operate the windscreen wipers and automatic wipe/wash using the windscreen wiper lever.The windscreen wiper lever
⇒
fig. 73
has the following positions:
Finger-operated wiping – If you wish to wipe the windscreen only
briefly
, push the lever into the
sprung position . If you hold the le
ver in the lower position for more
than 1 second, the wiper wipes faster.
Intermittent wiping – Position the lever up into position . – Set with the switch the desired break between the individual wiper
strokes
Slow wipe – Position the lever up into position .
Fa s t w ip e – Position the lever up into position . Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen – Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel into sprung position , the
wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneously at a speed of more than 120 km/h.
– Release the lever. The windscreen wash system stops and the wiper
continues for another 3 - 4 wiper strokes (depending on the period of spraying of the windscreen). At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again* 5 seconds after the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This function can be acti-vated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Rain sensor* – Move the lever into position . – You can set the sensitivity of the sensor individually with switch . Switching windscreen wipers off – Move the lever back into its home position .After the windscreen wiper switches off each
time or the ignition switches off for
the third time, the position of the windscreen wiper changes, this counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers. The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bonnet is closed. If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depending on speed. The rain sensor* automatically regulates
the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain. The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.

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
⇒page 73, fig. 73
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

within 10 seconds - the wiper ar
ms move into the service posi-
tion.

page 74, fig. 74
.
Attaching a wiper blade – Push the wiper blade until it locks up to the stop. – Check whether the wiper blade is correctly attached.– Fold the windscreen wiper ar
m back onto the windscreen.
The wiper arms move back into the rest po
sition - after switching on the ignition
and after changing the position of the wi
ndow wiper lever or
when driving at a
speed greater than 6°km/h. Wiper blades in proper condition are esse
ntial to obtain good
visibili
ty. Wiper
blades should not be allowed to become
dirtied by dust, insect remains and
preserving wax. Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades
could then be due to wax residues left
on the windscreen by vehicle washing in
automatic vehicle wash
systems. It is
therefore important to
degrease
the lips of the wiper
blades after every pass
through an
automatic vehicle wash system
.
WARNING
•
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage
to the windscreen.•
You should clean the wiper blades regularly with a windscreen cleaner in
order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper blade with a sponge or cloth if it is very dirty, for example from insect residues.•
Replace the wiper blades once or twic
e a year for safety reasons. These
can be bought from an authorised Škoda Service Partner.Rear-view mirrorManual dimming interior rear-view mirrorBasic setting – Pull the lever on the bottom edge of the mirror forward. Dimming mirror – Pull the lever on the bottom edge of the mirror back.Automatic dimming interior mirror*
