Switching on Leaving Home Function– After leaving the vehicle, the light switch is in the position automatic driving lamp
control
.
– Unlock the vehicle with the radio remote control - the lights come on.
Depending on equipment fitted the function Leaving Home switches on the following
lights:
Parking lights,
Low beam,
Entry lighting in the exterior mirrors,
Licence plate light.
Leaving Home Function
The function Leaving Home is controlled with the light sensor in the mount of the inte-
rior rear mirror. If the light intensity is higher than the set value of the light sensor, the
Leaving Home Function is not switched on after unlocking the vehicle with the radio
remote control.
After unlocking the vehicle wi th the radio remote control, the lights come on for 10
seconds. The Leaving Home Function is also switched off after the ignition is switched
on and after locking the vehicle.
If no door is opened within 30 seconds, the lights go out and the vehicle is locked auto-
matically.Note
If the Leaving Home Function is switched on constantly, the battery will be heavily
discharged particularly in short-haul traffic.
The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accordance
with the legal requirements.
You can change the illumination period for the Leaving Home Function by means
of the information display*.
Adaptive headlights (AHL)*Switch on Adaptive headlights (AHL)*– Turn the light switch page 61, fig. 47 into position
.
The AHL system* is activated if:
the light sensor recognizes the low light intensity,
no reverse gear is engaged,
the operation “tourist light” is not switched on.
The light sensor switches on the full outer illumination at low light intensity.
System AHL* makes it possible to change th e length and width of illumination of the
headlight. The length and width of illuminati on changes automatically in relation 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 di spersion 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 th at 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 wipers continuously operate for a peri od of time longer than 2
minutes. The mode is deactivated when dr opping 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.
Mode city
In the mode “city”, the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wider and
the width of illumination is sh orter. It has as an aim to illuminate the adjacent foot-
paths, crossings, pedestrian crossings etc. The mode is active at speeds of 15 - 50 km/h.

Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror surface is identical
to the movement of the rotary knob.
The adjustment of both mirrors simultaneously or each individual mirror is possible in
the information display table on page 26 in the menu point Mirror adjust.
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror surface is identical
to the movement of the rotary knob.

Folding exterior mirrors* using the key with radio remote control– If all the windows are clos ed, press the unlock button page 49, fig. 37 on the
radio remote control for approx. 2 seconds.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror*
When the rotary knob is in position
page 77, fig. 67 and the reverse gear is
engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid in seeing the
kerb of the pavement when parking the car.
The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of the
position
and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of the exterior
mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is stored.
WARNING
Convex (curved outward) or spherical (differently curved) 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.Note
Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.
You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if the power setting function fails at any
time by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
Contact your specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of the exterior
mirrors.
Exterior mirror with entry lighting*The lighting is positioned on the bo ttom edge of the exterior mirror.The light beam is aimed at the entry area of the front doors after the car is unlocked.
The light comes on after the doors have been locked or on opening the front door. The
lighting goes out about 30 seconds after th e doors are closed or if the ignition is
switched on.
If the doors remain open, the lighting go es out automatically after about 10 minutes
provided the ignition is not switched on.Automatic dimming exterior mirror*The exterior mirrors are dimmed together with the interior mirror. If the automatic
dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending on the light
striking the mirror from the rear.

the seat backrest is more than 102 ° in relation to the seat cushion.
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 setting of the exterior mirror on the passenger side
for reversing.

Assigning the remote control key to the memory buttons on the KESSY*
systemOn vehicles which are equipped with the KESSY* system, the following procedure for
assigning the remote control key to the memory buttons exists for electrically adjust-
able front seats and mirrors*.
– Switch the ignition off within 10 seconds after storing the setting.
– Open the driver door.
– Press the unlock button on the remo te control key within 10 seconds.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also

If you wish, you can obtain an additional remote control key from an authorised Škoda
Service partner and then assign the remote control key to another memory button.
Note
If the radio remote control had previously been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
If you assign the radio remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a radio remote control, the ol d assignment is also replaced by a new
assignment in this case.
The assignment of the radio remote co ntrol to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
After the successful assignment, the turn si gnal lights flash and an audible signal
will sound as a confirmation. The setting is stored with the memory button which you

Radio remote control
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation) can be
switched on or off with the remote control.– For switching on, press the button .
– For switching off, press the button .
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. The
receiver is located in the interior of the car.

or off the auxiliary heating, hold the remo te control vertically with the antenna
fig. 124 towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the fingers or the
palm of the hand. Obstacles between the ra dio remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker batt ery can clearly reduce the range.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on or off with the radio remote control, if
the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at least 2 m.
Warning light in the radio remote control
The warning light in the radio remote control fig. 124 indicates after a keystroke if
the remote control signal was received by the auxiliary heating and if the battery is
