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 59.
Fog lights*
The warning light
comes on when the fog lights are operating
⇒page 56.
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 59.
Low beam
The warning light
comes on when low beam is selected
⇒page 53.
Rear fog light
The warning light
comes on when the rear fog lights are operating
⇒page 57.
Cruise control system*
The warning light
lights up, when operating the speed regulating system.
Bulb failure
The warning light
comes on if a bulb is faulty:
•
up to 2 seconds after the ignition is switched on;
•
when switching on the defective light bulb.
The following text e.g will be displayed in the information display*:
Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate lighting require several light bulbs. The indi- cator light
only lights up if all light bulbs of
the licence plate lighting or the parking
light (in one rear light unit) are defective.
Check regularly the function of the light
bulbs.Diesel particle filter*
(diesel engine)
If the warning light
comes on, this means that soot
has accumulated in the diesel
particle filter because of the frequent short distances. In order to clean the diesel particle filter, the vehicle should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1
800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until
the warning light goes out with the 4th or
5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: posi-
tion S) when the traffic situation permits it. This increases the exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits
⇒
.
The warning light
goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle filter.
If the filter is not properly
cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and the
warning light
begins to flash. In the in
formation display* appears
Diesel-particle
Owner's manual
. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the emer-
gency mode, which only has a reduced power
output. After switchin
g the ignition off
and on again the warning light
comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without
delay by your specialist garage.

Activating the function daylight driving lights– Pull the turn signal light lever towards the steering wheel up to 3 seconds after
switching on the ignition and at the same time, slide it to the top and hold it in this position for at least 3 seconds.
When the daylight driving lights are switch
ed on, the side lights and the low beam
come on together. In some countries, the national legal provisions require that the parking lights come on together with the bulbs for daylight driving lights when activating the function daylight driving lights. On vehicles which are fitted with bulbs for daylight driving lights in the fog lights, the parking lights do not come on when activa
ting the function dayl
ight driving lights.
When the daylight driving lights are switch
ed on, the illumination of the instrument
cluster is switched off, however,
it is switched on in the position
when it is dark
and the low beam shines with full br
ightness (100% of the performance).
On vehicles fitted with an information displa
y*, you can also activate or deactivate in

If the light switch is in the position
, the symbol illuminates when the ignition is
switched on
next to the light switch. If the low beam is activated with the light
sensor, the symbol
illuminates additionally next to the light switch.
If the light comes on automatically, the side lights and low beam as well as licence plate light light up at the same time. If the automatic light control is switched on,
the light is regulated with the light sensor
in the rear mirror holder. If the light intensity drops below the set value, e.g when driving during the day into a tunnel, the lo
w beam and the side li
ghts as well as the
licence plate light come on automatically. If
the light intensity increases again, the
lights switch off automatically. Motorway lights If the automatic light control has been swit
ched on and the vehicle speed is over 140
km/h for at least 10 seconds, the side ligh
ts and low beam are switched on automati-
cally. If the vehicle speed is below 65 km/h for at least 2 minutes, the lights are switched off.

For power consumers, e.g. the radio, which ca
n be operated with the ignition switched
off as long as the ignition key is not withdrawn. Electrically adjustable seats are protected by
automatic circuit breakers
, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been eliminated.BulbsChanging bulbsThe relevant lamp must always be switch
ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced
with light bulbs of the same type. The desig-
nation is located on the ligh
t socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something whic
h 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 specialist garage or,
in exceptional cases, by calling
on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area
⇒page 204, “Working
in the engine compartment”. We recommend that you always have a small box of replacement bulbs in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement bulbs from Škoda
original accessories or from a specialist
garage

The set of light bulbs can be stowed
in the box in the luggage compartment.
Fitted with a xenon headlightChange of bulbs on vehicles with Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and main beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage. Bulb - Overview

•
Gas discharge bulbs* (xenon bulbs) op
erate with a high voltage, profes-
sional knowledge is required - danger to life!
Caution
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb).
Use a clean cloth, serviette or something
similar.
