If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depend-
ing on speed.
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.
The rear window wiper only operates if the boot lid is closed.

Memory function for exterior mirrors
On vehicles fitted with a memory function for the driver seat, the relevant setting
for the exterior mirrors is also stored automatically when the seat position is stor-
ed » page 57 . WARNING
■ Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision
field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.
■ Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles. CAUTION
Never mechanically fold in or fold back the exterior mirrors with the fold-in func-
tion by hand as this will damage the electric drive. Note
■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the rotary knob, they can only be fol-
ded back into the driving position using the rotary knob. ■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control key and if the ro-
tary knob was in the fold-in position before the ignition was switched on, the mir-
rors will remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switched on.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position to a different one.
■ Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on. ■ If the power setting function fails at any time, the exterior mirrors can be set by
hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface. ■ Contact your ŠKODA specialist garage if there is a fault with the power setting
of the exterior mirrors. ÐAutomatic dimming exterior mirror on the driver's side
The exterior mirror on the driver's side is dimmed together with the interior mir-
ror. If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically de-
pending on the light striking the mirror from the rear. When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mir-
ror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed). Note
■ Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the light striking the rear of
the interior 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. Ð54

WARNING
If, as an occupant, 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 difficult to heal. If the seat heating
is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition. CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.
■ Do not use the seat heaters if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-
jects, such as a child seat, bag, etc., are fastened or stored on them. A fault of the
heating elements in the seat heating can occur.
■ Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 165.Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control »

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint 59
Middle rear head restraint 60
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The position of the front and rear outer head restraints is adjustable in height.
The middle rear head restraint is adjustable in two positions. The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant. Cor-
rectly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective protec-
tion for the occupants » page 129, Correct seated position . WARNING
■ The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident. ■ Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.
■ If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
lower position. Ð Adjusting, removing and installing a head restraint

Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the fixing
net » page 64 .
In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced
by small and light objects that they can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of
the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling
and 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
imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “object” flies through the interior com-
partment and hits an occupant. WARNING
■ Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.
■ Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are fly-
ing around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are
thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard. ■ Please note that the handling properties of the vehicle may be affected
when transporting heavy objects as the centre of gravity can be displaced -
risk of accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly. ■ If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being thrown for-
ward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached to the
lashing eyes. ■ The items carried in the boot must be stored in such a way that no objects
are able to slip forward if any sudden driving or braking manoeuvres are un-
dertaken - risk of injury!
■ When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in the
boot that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure the
safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats »
page 130, Cor-
rect seated position for the occupants on the rear seats .
■ If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that the
seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision. WARNING (Continued)
■ Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise exhaust
gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!
■ Under no circumstances, should the permissible axle loads and permissible
gross weight of the vehicle be exceeded - risk of accident!
■ Never transport people in the boot! CAUTION
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not dam-
aged as a result of abrasive objects. Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load »
page 182, Service life of tyres .Ð Class N1 vehicles
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 62.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN
12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening the
load. Ð
