Note
We recommend having the bulb replaced by a specialist garage.
Luggage compartment light
The lighting comes on automatically when the tailgate is opened. The
luggage compartment lighting will switch off again automatically if the boot
lid remains open for more than about 30 minutes.
Visibility
Rear window heater
– Press switch  ⇒ fig. 40 to switch on the rear window heater.
The rear window heater only operates when the engine is running. An indi-
cator light in the switch is illuminated when the rear window heater is
switched on.
The rear window heater switches off automatically after 20 minutes. If
you press the switch
 once again, the rear window heater is switched
on permanently - the automatic deactivation is thus deactivated.
For the sake of the environment
You should switch off the rear window heater as soon as the rear window
is clear. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy ⇒page 191, “Saving electricity”.
Sun visors
Using the sun visors can contribute to increasing road
safety.

Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror*
– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running.
WARNING
•Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors
increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear
smaller in the mirror. These mirror s are only of limited use, there-
fore, for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
•Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating
the distances to the following vehicles.
Note
•Do not touch the surfaces 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 specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of
the exterior mirrors.

Caution
Please ensure that the heating elements of the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of objects sliding in this area.
Note
•Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load ⇒page 226, fig. 163 .
•The air circulation in the interior of the car helps to prevent the
windows from misting up. Stale air is diverted via the outlet nozzles into
the luggage compartment below the bumper. Check for yourself that the
outlet nozzles are not covered.
Fastening elements
Eyes are located on the sides of the loading area for lashing the goods to
be loaded ⇒fig. 60 . You can also attach securing nets* to these eyes for lashing small objects.
The fixing nets* and the installation instruction are located in the luggage
compartment.
WARNING
•The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way
that it cannot move during the journey and when braking.
•If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing
eyes with unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur
in the event of braking manoeuvres or accidents. In order to
prevent the items of luggage being thrown forward, always use
suitable lashing straps which are firmly attached to the lashing
eyes. Never attach a child seat to the lashing eyes!

Taking care of your vehicle and cleaning the vehicle
200
Chrome parts
First clean the chrome parts with a damp clotch and then polish them with
a soft, dry cloth. If it does not prove to be adequate, use a chrome care
product from Škoda original accessories.
Caution
Do not polish the chrome parts in a dusty environment, otherwise they can
be scratched.
Paint damage
Slight damage to paintwork such as scratches, scuffs or traces of chip
damage must be treated immediately before any corrosion can result.
You can of course have this work carried out by a Škoda Service Partner.
Škoda Service Partners have a range of matching touch-up pens or
spray cans available in the colour of your vehicle.
The paint number of the original paintwork of your vehicle is indicated on
the vehicle data sticker ⇒page 263.
Any corrosion which has already have formed must be removed thor-
oughly. Apply a corrosion protection primer and then the paint to the
affected point. You can of course have this work carried out by a Škoda
Service Partner.
Plastic parts
External plastic parts are cleaned by normal washing. Plastic parts and
synthetic leather can also be treated with special solvent-free plastic cleaning agents
if a damp cloth is not sufficient. Paint care products are
not suitable for plastic parts.
Caution
Solvent-free cleaners attack the material and can damage it.
Windows
Only use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the
windows and mirrors. You should not move the ice scraper forward and
backward but in one direction on the window which you are cleaning in
order to avoid any damage to the surface of the glass.
You can best remove residues of rubber, oil, grease, wax or silicone by
using a special window cleaner or a special silicone remover.
You should also clean the windows regularly from the inside.
Do not use window leathers which you have used to polish the vehicle
body to dry off the windows. Residues of preservatives in the window
leather can dirty the window and reduce visibility.
Do not affix any stickers over the inside of the rear window to avoid
damage to the heating elements of the rear window heater .
We recommend using a preservative from Škoda genuine accessories
offered by your Škoda dealer.
Caution
Never remove snow or ice from the glass parts with warm or hot water -
risk of formation of cracks in the glass!
