Instruments and warning lights

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 disp layed in the information display*:
Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate li ghting 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 information display* appears Diesel-particle
filter: Owner's manual. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into the
emergency mode, which only has a reduced po wer output. After switching the ignition
off and on again the warning light
comes on.
Have the vehicle inspected without delay by your specialist garage.
WARNING
If you do not pay attention to the warning light coming on and the corre-
sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in injuries or major
vehicle damage.
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The route indicated by the warnin g light must not tempt you to disregard
the national regulations for road traffic.Caution
As long as the warning light
li ghts up, o ne must take into account an incre as ed f uel
consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of the engine.

Headlamp range adjustment
Once the low beam is switched on you can then adapt the range of the
headlights to the lo ad of the vehicle.– Turn the control dial fig. 41 until you have adjusted the low beam so that
oncoming traffic is not dazzled.
Settings
The positions correspond approximately to the following vehicle loads:
Front seats occupied, luggage compartment empty.
All seats occupied, luggage compartment empty.
All seats occupied, luggage compartment laden.
Driver seat occupied, lu ggage compartment laden.
Caution
Set the headlight beam adjustment in such a way as to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
Note
Headlights fitted with Xenon bulbs* adapt automatically to the load and driving state
of the vehicle (e.g. accelerating, braking) wh en the ignition is switched on and when
driving. Vehicles which are equipped with Xenon bulbs* do not have a manual head-
light range adjustment control.
Switch for hazard warning lights
– Press switch
fig. 42 to switch the hazard warning light system on or off.
All the turn signal lights on the vehicle flas h at the same time when the hazard warning
light system is switched on. The indicator light for the turn signals and the indicator
light in the switch also flash at the same time. You can also switch on the hazard
warning light system if the ignition is switched off.
The hazard warning light system is switched on automatically if an airbag is deployed
in the event of an accident.
Please comply with any legal requirements when using the hazard warning light
system.
Note
Switch on the hazard warning light system if, for example:
you encounter traffic congestion,
your vehicle breaks down or an emergency situation occurs.

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 light 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 vehi cle 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 an authorised Škoda
Service Partner 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 purchase replacement bulbs from th e range of the Škoda original accessories 17).
The set of light bulbs can be stowed in the box in the luggage compartment.

Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of bulbs on vehicles with Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and
main beam lights) should be und
ertaken by a specialist garage.
Bulb - Overview
WARNING
Bulbs H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury!
It is recommended to wear gloves and safety glasses when changing a bulb.
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.
