Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. The low beam is switched
off automatically when the engine is star ted and after switching the ignition off;
only the side lights come on. On models fitted with
right-hand steering* the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in ⇒fig. 34 . The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
In certain countries, the low beam is on a reduced brightness as well as the side
lights, when the ignition is switched on.
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 reduced.
Note
•An audible warning will sound 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 (ignition 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 conditions, the headligh ts 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 headli ght lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
− It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.

Note
•When storing settings with the memory buttons, we recommend that you begin
with the front button and assign a memory button to each additional driver.
•Each new setting stored with the same button erases the previous setting.
•Each time you store the seat and exterior mirror settings for driving forward you
also have to re-store the individual settin g of the exterior mirror on the passenger
side for reversing.
Assigning remote control to the memory buttons
After storing the settings of the seat and exterior mirrors, you have 10
seconds in order to assign the remote control to the appropriate memory
button.
– Withdraw the ignition key.
– Press the release button ⇒page 38 and hold it pressed for 1 second
until an audible signal confirms th at the setting has been stored. The
setting is stored with the memory button which you have selected.

using the remote control, you have to assign the remote control to a memory
button in each case.
We recommend that you assign one of the two remote controls supplied with your
car, to the front memory button, and the other remote control key to the middle
memory button.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional key with radio remote control from a
Škoda Service Partner and then assign the radio remote control to the rear memory
button.
Note
•If the remote control had previously been assigned to another memory button,
this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
•If you assign the remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by a new assign-
ment in this case.
•The assignment of the remote control to a memory button is retained, however,
after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.

or with the remote control*.

The seat and the exterior mirrors now move automatically into the
stored position.

the desired memory button until the seat and the exterior mirrors
have moved into the stored position.
