Finger-operated wiping
– Position the lever down into position if you wish to wipe the wind-screen only for a single wipe - spring-tensioned position.
Intermittent wiping

operating for a further 4 seconds or so.
Switching windscreen wipers off
– Move the lever back into its home position .
Rain sensor*
– Move the lever into position .
– You can set the sensitivity of the sensor individually with switch .
– If you have switched the ignition o ff and on again, you must then once
again activate the sensor by moving the lever into home position ,
and then back into position .
The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate if the igni-
tion is switched on.
The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.
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 197.
WARNING
•Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving ⇒page 55.
•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 re strict 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 windscreen wipers manu-
ally depending 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 windscreen may result in damage both to
the blades and the motor of the windscreen wipers!

Headlight cleaning system*
The headlight lenses are clea ned, when low beam or main beam are switched on
by holding ⇒page 53 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 headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. Please refer to the following
guidelines ⇒page 176, “The headlight lenses”.
You should remove any snow from the fixt ures 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 position the
wiper blade at right angles to the wiper arm ⇒fig. 50 .
– 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 esse ntial 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 residues 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 bl ade 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.

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 exte-
rior mirror is also stored automatica lly when the seat position is stored ⇒page 61.
WARNING
•Convex (curved outward) or a spherical 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 estimating distances to
the following vehicles.
•Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the
distances to the following vehicles.
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 attemp t to move the mirror housing back by
hand otherwise proper operation of the mirror mechanism will be affected. This
applies only to models fitted with the fold-in function for both exterior mirrors*.

Heating and air conditioning system

Please note that, in the ECON mode, the interior temperature cannot be lower than
the outside temperature. The interior is not cooled and the air is not dehumidified.
If you select the temperature below +18 °C (64 °F), LO appears in the display. If you
select a temperature higher than + 29 °C (86 °F), HI appears in the display. In the
position LO the recirculated air is not warmed up. In the HI position, the system
operates continuously with maximum heating capacity.
Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode ⇒page 96.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press button , the symbol
 lights up on the display.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Once again press the button or the button , the symbol

goes out on the display.
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time,
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
If the windscreen is misted up, first of all press the button and then the
button . After the windscreen has been demisted, once again press the button
.
Setting temperature
– Press the button or ⇒page 94, fig. 109 and continue pressing
until the desired temperature is set.
You can set the interior temperature betw een +18°C (64°F) and +29°C (86°F). The
interior temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you select the
temperature below 18°C (64°F), “LO” appear s in the display. If you select the
temperature higher than 29 °C (86 °F), “HI” appears in the display. In both limit posi-
tions the Climatronic operates at maximu m cooling or heating capacity, respec-
tively. The temperature is no t controlled in this case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the bl ower stages automatically in line
with the interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower
stages manually to suit your particular needs.
Setting blower stages
– Press the button or the button to set the blower stage.
The number of dashes in the display ⇒page 94, fig. 109 indicates the blower
stage.
