The rain sensor* automatically regulates the break between the individual
wiper strokes depending on the intensity of the rain.
Top up with wash liquid ⇒page 233.
WARNING
•Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for
clear visibility and safe driving ⇒page 67.
•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 wind-
screen wipers manually dependi ng on the visibility conditions.
Caution
In frosty weather, please first of all check whether the windscreen wiper
blades are not frozen to the windscreen before switching them on.
Switching on windscreen wipers when the blades are frozen to the wind-
screen may result in damage both to the blades and the motor of the wind-
screen wipers!
Headlight cleaning system*
The headlight lenses are cleaned, when low beam or main beam are
switched on by holding ⇒page 65 the lever for about 2 seconds in the
position .
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 head-
light lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. Please refer
to the following guidelines ⇒page 209, “The headlight lenses”.
You should remove any snow from the fixtures of the washer nozzles and
clear ice in winter with a de-icing spray in order to ensure proper operation
of the cleaning system.

Replacing the wiper blades
Taking off the wiper blade
– Fold windscreen wiper arm out from the windscreen and posi-
tion the wiper blade at right angles to the wiper arm ⇒fig. 51.
– Press the securing spring in the direction of arrow and press the wiper blade to the windscreen at the same time in
the direction of arrow ⇒.
Attaching a wiper blade
– Push the wiper blade onto the wiper arm. The securing spring must click into place audibly.
Wiper blades in proper condition are essential to obtain good visibility.
Wiper blades should not be allowed to become dirtied by dust, insect
remains and preserving wax. Juddering or smearing of the wiper blades could then be due to wax resi-
dues left on the windscreen by vehicle washing in automatic vehicle wash
systems. It is therefore important to
degrease the lips of the wiper blades
after every pass through an automatic vehicle wash system .
WARNING
•If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk
of damage to the windscreen.
•You should clean the wiper blades regularly with a windscreen
cleaner in order to avoid any smears. Clean a wiper blade with a
sponge or cloth if it is very dirty, for example from insect residues.
•Replace the wiper blades once or twice a year for safety
reasons. We recommend having the windscreen wiper blades
purchased at a Škoda Service Partner.
