Automatic dimming interi or rear-view mirror*
The mirror is dimmed automatically depending on the light striking the
mirror from the rear provided the ignition is switched on. The mirror has no
lever on the bottom edge of the mirror. When the interior lights are
switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always moves back
into the basic position (not dimmed).
Note
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for the
rear window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior rear-
view mirror is not affected by other objects.
Exterior mirror with entry lighting*
The lighting is positioned on the bottom edge of the exte-
rior mirror.
The light beam is aimed at the entry area of the front doors after the car is
unlocked.
The light comes on after the doors have been locked or on opening the
front door. The lighting goes out about 30 seconds after the doors are
closed or if the ignition is switched on.
If the doors remain open, the lighting goes out automatically after about
10 minutes provided the ignition is not switched on.
Electrically adjustable rear mirror
The heating of the external mirror functions only when ignition is
switched on.
Heating of the external mirror

.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror*
When the rotary knob is in position
 ⇒ page 67, fig. 50 and the reverse
gear is engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides
an aid in seeing the kerb of the pavement when parking the car.
If you shift out of reverse gear, or switch over to the driver exterior mirror
in position
, the mirror surface on the passenger side moves back into the
original position.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of
the exterior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is
stored ⇒page 71.
Caution
If the mirror housing has been shifted out of position as a result of external
force (e.g. striking an object when parking), the mirror must then be folded
in fully with the electric motor. On no account attempt to move the mirror
housing back by hand otherwise proper operation of the mirror mecha-
nism will be affected. This applies only to models fitted with the fold-in
function for both exterior mirrors*.
Note
•Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror
heater is switched on.
•You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if the power setting function
fails at any time, by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
•Contact your Škoda dealer if a fault exists with the power setting of the
exterior mirrors.
WARNING
Convex (curved outward) or aspherical exterior mirrors increase
the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in
the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for esti-
mating distances to the following vehicles.
