Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of
the headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the Maxi DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 45 , Lights and Visibility menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.
Note
When the “tourist light” mode is active, the warning light  flashes for 10 sec-
onds each time the ignition is switched on.

Windscreen wipers and washers
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
76
Headlight cleaning system
77
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 de-
pending on speed.
When automatic wiping in rain is active, the wiper intervals are regulated
based on the intensity of the rain.
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 184.
WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 214.■
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety rea-
sons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
■
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.
■
Automatic wiping in rain only operates as a support. The driver is not re-
leased from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers
manually depending on the visibility conditions.
CAUTION■ 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 igni-
tion is turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold tempera-
tures between the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned
back on again.■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or be-
fore 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 fro-
zen to the windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wip-
er motor!
■
Carefully peel frozen wiper blades off the pane.
■
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.
■
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
blades would move back into their rest position and while doing so damage
the paintwork of the bonnet.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. The wiper stops automatically after 5 attempts to eliminate the ob-
stacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Remove the the obstacle and
switch the wiper on again.
Note
■ Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rub-
bers.■
The rear window wiper only operates if the boot lid is closed.
■
The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen
cleaner 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.
■
Keep the wiper blades clean. They may become soiled, e.g., with wax resi-
dues after washing in automatic car wash systems » page 173.
■
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.

Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the
wiper to continue 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 activated/deactivated by a specialist garage.

The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wiper wipes some-

Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the
wiper to continue for another 2-3 wiper strokes (depending on the period of

If automatic windscreen wiping in rain is activated (the operating lever is in the position
1
) the function is only active if the windscreen wipers operate in
continuous mode (no break between each wiping process).
Automatic rear window wiping can be activated/deactivated via the MAXI DOT
display in the menu item Rear wiper » page 45 .
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wip-
ers in winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
› Switch on the windscreen wipers.
› Switch off the ignition.
The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they were when
switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 214.
Note
If the operating lever is in the position 2 or 3 and the speed of the vehicle
drops below 4 km / h, the wiping speed is switched to a lower wiping level.
The original setting is restored step by step when the speed of the vehicle ex-
ceeds 8 km/h.76Operation

Headlight cleaning systemRead and observe
and on page 75 first.
After the ignition is switched on, the headlights are always cleaned at the first
and after every tenth spray of the windscreen (setting
5
» Fig. 62 on
page 76 ), when the low beam or main beam is switched on.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guide-
lines must be observed » page 175, 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!
Rear mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
77
Exterior mirrors
78WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other ob-
jects.■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to opera-
tional faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
tus. Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not pos-
sible, at least open the window.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water.
Then consult a doctor immediately.
