lay yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•
Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.•
information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.•
If the instrument cluster is exchanged af
ter a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.•
The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service inter- vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having
the Service Interval Display reset only
by an authorised Škoda Service Partner who is familiar with the procedure for reset-ting the display with a vehicle system tester.•

The light sensor switches on the full ou
ter illumination at low light intensity.
System AHL* makes it possible to change
the length and width of illumination of
the headlight. The length and width of i
llumination changes automatically in rela-
tion to the vehicle speed and the use of the windscreen wiper. System AHL* operates in the following modes. Mode out of town The mode “out of town” is a basic mode. The dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is active if none of the following modes are active. Mode rain In the mode “rain” the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wider and the width of illumination is shorter,
so that during bad weather (rain) the
dazzling of the oncoming drivers can be reduced. The mode is activated at speeds of 15 - 70 km/h and if the windscreen wi
pers continuously operate for a period of
time longer than 2 minutes. The mode
is deactivated when dropping below or
exceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off for a period of time longer than 8 minutes.

Windshield wiper and wash systemWindshield wiper You can operate the windscreen wipers and automatic wipe/wash using the windscreen wiper lever.The windscreen wiper lever
⇒
fig. 73
has the following positions:
Finger-operated wiping – If you wish to wipe the windscreen only
briefly
, push the lever into the
sprung position . If you hold the le
ver in the lower position for more
than 1 second, the wiper wipes faster.
Intermittent wiping – Position the lever up into position . – Set with the switch the desired break between the individual wiper
strokes
Slow wipe – Position the lever up into position .
Fa s t w ip e – Position the lever up into position . Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen – Pull the lever towards the steering
wheel into sprung position , the
wash system sprays immediately, the windscreen wiper starts wiping a little later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneously at a speed of more than 120 km/h.
– Release the lever. The windscreen wash system stops and the wiper
continues for another 3 - 4 wiper strokes (depending on the period of spraying of the windscreen). At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again* 5 seconds after the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This function can be acti-vated/deactivated by a specialist garage.
Rain sensor* – Move the lever into position . – You can set the sensitivity of the sensor individually with switch . Switching windscreen wipers off – Move the lever back into its home position .After the windscreen wiper switches off each
time or the ignition switches off for
the third time, the position of the windscreen wiper changes, this counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers. The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bonnet is closed. If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depending on speed. The rain sensor* automatically regulates
the break between the individual wiper
strokes depending on the intensity of the rain. The windscreen washer nozzles are heated* when the ignition is switched on.

Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and tw
o-way radio system in a vehicle should
only be carried out by an authorised Škoda Service Partner. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mo
bile phones and two-way radio systems
with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts. It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofit- ting mobile telephones and radio transmitters. Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func- tioning of the electronic systems of your
vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
•
no external aerial,
•
external aerial incorrectly installed,
•
transmission power greater than 10 watts.
You should also be aware of the fact that only an
external
aerial makes it possible
to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special external aerial
or an external aeri
al which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field in the interior of the vehicle.•
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!
•
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts
on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to
the occupants in the event of an acci-
dent.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and two-way radio systems.Universal telephone pr

A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone. The volume can be changed at any time with the set button of the radio* or with the function keys on the mult
ifunction steering wheel*.
If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready
”, please
check the operating state of the telephone as follows:•
Is the telephone switched on?
•
Is the PIN code entered?
