Caution
In frosty weather, please firs t of all check whether the windscreen wiper blades are not
frozen to the windscreen before switching 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 page 73, fig. 63 or the faster wiper setting is switched on 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 automatically
after 5 attempts to eliminate the obstacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper.
Remove the obstacle and and switch on the wiper again.
The content of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is 3 litres. On vehicles which
are equipped with a headlight cleaning syst em*, the content of the reservoir is 5.5
litres.
Automatic rear window wiper* (Combi)If the windshield wiper lever is in the position page 73, fig. 63 or , the rear
window wiper carries out a wiping process ev ery 30 seconds or 10 seconds at a speed
above 5 km/h.
When the rain sensor* is active (the lever is in the position ) the function is only
active if the front window wipers continue to operate (no break between each wiping
process).
Activation/deactivation
The function of the automatic rear window wiper is activated/deactivated in the infor-
mation display* in the menu:

– Push the operating level into the position page 73, fig. 63 five times in
succession within 5 seconds.
– Switch off the ignition. After switching on th e ignition again, the position of the rear
window wiper is deactivated.
The activation of the position of the rear window wiper is carried out in the same way
as the deactivation.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 main beam are switched on and the windscreen
wiper lever was held in the position page 73, fig. 63 for about 1 second.
The headlight washer nozzles are moved forward out of the bumper by the water pres-
sure for cleaning the headlights.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as in sect residues) from the headlight lenses at
regular intervals, for example when refuelling . Please refer to the following guidelines.

Inspecting and replenishing

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.
