2012 SKODA SUPERB Power

CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows. ■ In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 170 , De-icing windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the
power windows otherwise the power window mechanism could be damaged. ■ When leaving the locked vehicle make sure that the windows are closed at all
times. Note
■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows
for approx. 10
minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely
once the driver or front passenger door are opened. ■ When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
■ At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
■ The convenience opening of the windows by means of the key in the driver's
lock is only possible within 45
seconds of deactivating or activating the alarm sys-
tem. ÐWindow open/close

Operational faults
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 40.
Electrically operated power windows do not operate
If the battery has been disconnected and then reconnected while the window
was opened, the electrically operated power windows do not operate. The system
must be activated. Proceed as follows in order to re-establish the function:
› switch on the ignition;
› pull the top edge of the button to close the window;
› release the button;
› pull the relevant button upwards again for approx. 3
seconds.
Operation in winter
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there to
be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move
back several centimetres.
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 42.ÐElectric sliding/tilting roof
Introductory information
Fig. 25
Control dial for the power slid-
ing/tilting roof
The sliding/tilting roof is operated by means of the control dial » Fig. 25 and only
functions when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions.
ä
The sliding/tilting roof can still be opened, closed and tilted for approx. 10
mi-
nutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors
is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof. Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the slid-
ing/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to
the switch position A
» Fig. 25 and pressed forward for about 10

seconds.Ð Using the system

Closing
› Turn the switch to position A
» Fig. 25 on page 43.
Force limiter
The sliding/tilting roof is fitted with a force limiter. If an obstacle (e.g. ice) pre-
vents closing, the sliding/tilting roof stops and opens completely. The sliding/tilt-
ing roof can be closed completely without the force limiter by turning the switch
into position A
» Fig. 25 on page 43 at the front for as long as it takes for the
sliding/tilting roof to close completely » .

■ Contact your ŠKODA specialist garage if there is a fault with the power setting
of the exterior mirrors. ÐExterior mirror with entry lighting
The lighting is positioned on the bottom edge of the exterior mirror.
The light beam is aimed at the entry area of the front doors after the car is un-
locked.
The light comes on after the doors have been locked or on opening the front
door. The lighting goes out about 30 seconds after the doors are closed or if the
ignition is switched on.
If the doors remain open, the lighting goes out automatically after about 10 mi-
nutes provided the ignition is not switched on. ÐAutomatic dimming exterior mirror
The exterior mirrors are dimmed together with the interior mirror. If the automat-
ic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending on the light
striking the mirror from the rear.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mir-
ror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed). Note
■ Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen for the rear
window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior rear-view mirror is
not affected by other objects. ■ Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that they do not impair
the automatic dimming function or put it out of operation. ■ If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror dim-
ming is also switched off. Ð 65

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Manually adjusting the front seats 67
Adjusting front seats electrically 67
Memory function of the power seat 68
Memory function of the remote control key 68
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for:
› safely and quickly reaching the controls;
› a relaxed, fatigue-free body position;
› achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system. WARNING
■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk of accident!
■ Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention. ■ As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch-
ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat-
tended in the car. ■ The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system -
risk of injury! ■ Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle. WARNING (Continued)
■ Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 154, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■ The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
■ Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat passenger. You
will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the
brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
■ It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this mini-
mum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you - hazard!
■ Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as they may get caught be-
hind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would then no lon-
ger be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate.
■ Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects
(e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose - risk of accident! Note
■ After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle. ■ For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat
memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back-
rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■ When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings
will be deleted. Ð
