Panoramic sliding roof (Combi)
Introductory information
The panoramic sliding roof with sun screen can only be operated with the rotary
switch when the ignition is switched on » Fig. 27 on page
45. The control dial
has several positions.
The panoramic sliding roof or sun screen can still be opened, closed and tilted for
approx. 10 minutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of
the front doors is opened it is no longer possible to operate the panoramic sliding
roof and sun screen. Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the slid-
ing/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to
the switch position A

Boot light (Combi)
Removable lamp
Fig. 42
Removeable lamp
A removable lamp is fitted on the left side of the boot. This lamp has two func-
tions:
› lighting the boot - it illuminates part B
» Fig. 42 (the lamp is in the holder),
› portable lamp - it illuminates part C
(the lamp has been removed from the
holder).
If the lamp is in the holder, it is automatically switched on when the boot lid is
opened. If the boot lid remains open for more than 10 minutes, the light switches
off automatically.
The lamp is supplied by three rechargeable type AAA batteries. The rechargeable
batteries are constantly charged when the engine is running. It takes approx. 3
hours to fully charge the rechargeable batteries.
The lamp is fitted with magnets. Therefore it is possible to attach the lamp, for
example on the vehicle body, after removing it. ÐTaking out the lamp
Taking out the lamp › Grasp the lamp in the areas of the arrows D
» Fig. 42 on page 57
and swivel it
in the direction of the arrow E
. Reinserting the lamp the holder
›
First of all place the deactivated lamp in the holder on the side facing the boot
lid and then press on the lamp from the other side until it is clicks into place.
Operation of the lamp › If you press the button A
once, the lamp lights up with 100 % light intensity.
› If you press the button A
again, the lamp lights up with 50 % light intensity.
› If you press the button A
once again, the lamp goes out.
CAUTION
The removable lamp is not watertight and must therefore be protected against
moisture. Note
■ If the lamp is not correctly inserted into the holder, it does not light up when
the boot lid is opened and the rechargeable batteries are not charged. ■ If the lamp is not switched off and it is correctly inserted in the holder, the bulbs
in the front part C
» Fig. 42 on page 57 of the lamp are automatically switched
off.
■ The removed light can operate for a max. of 24 hours at an intensity of 100 %
and a max.of
48 hours at an intensity of 50 %. Ð Replacing the rechargeable batteries of the lamp
Proceed as follows if you wish to replace the faulty rechargeable batteries your-
self:
› Remove the lamp.
› Lever off the cover for the rechargeable batteries with a narrow and pointed
object from the location of the lock-off clips F
» Fig. 42 on page 57
.
› Remove the faulty rechargeable batteries from the lamp.
› Insert the new rechargeable batteries.
› Insert the cover for the rechargeable batteries and press it down until it clicks
into place. CAUTION
We recommend having the faulty rechargeable batteries replaced by a ŠKODA
specialist garage. If the lamp is not correctly opened, it can be damaged. £

The rain sensor automatically regulates the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain.
The rear window is wiped once if the windscreen wipers are on when reverse
gear is selected.
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.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid
» page 182.WARNING
■ Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 62.
■ 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.
■ The rain sensor only operates as a support. The driver is not released from
the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manually de-
pending on the visibility conditions. 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.
■ Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons.
These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Service Partner.
■ The ignition must not be switched on if the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
ded out. The wiper blades would move back into their rest position and while do-
ing so damage the paintwork of the bonnet. Note
■ If the slower 2
» Fig. 47 on page 60 or the faster 3
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 block the wiper, the wiper stops automati-
cally after 5 attempts to eliminate the obstacle, in order to avoid a damage to the
wiper. Remove the the obstacle and switch the wiper on again. ■ 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 litres. On vehicles fit-
ted with the headlight cleaning system, the volume is 5.5
litres. On vehicles fitted
with auxiliary heating, the content of the windscreen wiper reservoir is 4.5 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. Ð Activating the windscreen wipers and washers

first time and fifth time, the low beam or main beam are switched on and the
windscreen wiper lever was held in the position 5
» Fig. 47 on page 60 for about
1 second.
The headlight washer nozzles are moved forward out of the bumper by the water
pressure for cleaning the headlights.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight len-
ses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guidelines
must be observed » page 170, Headlight lenses .
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray. CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand - risk of
damage! ÐReplacing the windscreen wiper blades

window in the housing on the boot cover is not in use or the light striking the in-
terior rear-view mirror is not affected by other objects. ■ Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that they do not impair
the automatic dimming function or put it out of operation. ■ If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror dim-
ming is also switched off. Ð Additional rear-view mirror
