compartment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is also essential to observe all warnings ⇒page 173.
Note
•Arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model and model version. The symbols shown in the following function al description are to be found as indi- cator lights in the instrument cluster.
•Operational faults are shown in the inst rument cluster as red symbols (priority 1 - danger) or yellow symbols (priority 2 - warning).
Turn signal system 
Either the left  or right  indicator light flashes depending on the position of the turn signal lever.
The indicator light flashes at twice its normal rate if a turn signal light fails. This does not apply when towing a trailer.
Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the turn signal lights as well as both indicator lights to flash.
Further information about the turn signal system ⇒page 48.
Main beam 
The indicator light  comes on when the main beam is selected or also when the headlight flasher is operated.
Further information about the main beam ⇒page 48.
Low beam 
The indicator light  comes on when low beam is selected ⇒page 45.
Rear fog light 
The warning light  comes on when the rear fog lights are operating ⇒page 47.
Alternator 
The warning light  comes on after the ignition has been switched on. It should go out after the engine has started.
If the warning light does not go out after the engine has started, or comes on when driving, drive to the nearest specialist garage. The vehicle battery will be discharged in this case so switch off all non-essential electrical components.
The following text will be displayed in the information display*:
ALTERNATOR WORKSHOP!
Caution
If the warning light  comes on when driving and in addition the warning light  (cooling system fault) also comes on in display, you must then stop the car imme- diately and switch the engine off - risk of engine damage!
Fog lights* 
The warning light  comes on when the fog lights are operating ⇒page 46.
Cornering lights* 
If the warning light  flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the ignition and a warning signal sounds, a fault is confirmed.
Further information ⇒page 46.

Lights and Visibility46
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•An audible warning will so und if you withdraw the ignition key and open the driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.
•The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ign ition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights on.
•If you park the car for a lengthy period , we recommend switching off all lights, or leaving only the side lights switched on.
•The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accord- ance with the legal requirements.
•In the event of cool or humid weather co nditions, the headlights can be misted up from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head- light lenses is decisive.
− When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the border areas.
− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
− This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
Cornering lights* 
For a better cornering illumination the cornering lights are controlled in the optimal position in line with the vehicle speed and the steering angle.
If the warning light  flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the ignition and a warning signal sounds, a fault is confirmed.
WARNING
If there is a fault in the cornering lights, the warning light  flashes in the instrument cluster. The cornering lights are automatically lowered to the emergency position, which prevents a po ssible dazzling of oncoming traffic. Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected immedi ately by a specialist garage.
Fog lights* 
Switching on the fog lights 
– First of all turn the light switch into position  or  ⇒fig. 35.
– Pull the light switch out to the first detent .

•vehicle speed max. 40 km/h,
•low beam switched on,
•no reverse gear engaged,
•no hazard warning light system switched on.

Only the rear fog light of the trailer lights up if the vehicle is fitted with a towing device from Škoda original accessories and when you are towing a trailer which is fitted with the rear fog light.
Caution
The rear fog light should only be switched on if visibility is particularly poor (conform with any varying legal provisions) to avoid dazzling vehicles behind your vehicle.
Headlamp range adjustment 
Once the low beam is switched on you can then adapt the range of
the headlights to the load of the vehicle.
– Turn the control dial ⇒fig. 36 until you have adjusted the low beam
so that oncoming traffic is not dazzled.

Bulbs
Replacing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is replaced.
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bu lb). Use a clean cloth, serviette or some- thing similar.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same type. The designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something wh ich you can do yourself, but requires to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to bulbs which can only be reached from the engine compartment.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a Škoda Service Partner or, in exceptional cases, by ca lling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine co mpartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 173, “Working in the engine compartment”.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was delivered in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs 8) are available at a Škoda Service Partner.
The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the locable box in the spare wheel.
