speed greater than 6°km/h. Wiper blades in proper condition are esse
ntial to obtain good
visibili
ty. 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 blade with a sponge or cloth if it is very dirty, for example from insect residues.•
Replace the wiper blades once or twic
e a year for safety reasons. These
can be bought from an authorised Škoda Service Partner.Rear-view mirrorManual dimming interior rear-view mirrorBasic setting – Pull the lever on the bottom edge of the mirror forward. Dimming mirror – Pull the lever on the bottom edge of the mirror back.Automatic dimming interior mirror*
