2012 SKODA SUPERB door lock

Panoramic sliding roof (Combi)
Introductory information
The panoramic sliding roof with sun screen can only be operated with the rotary
switch when the ignition is switched on » Fig. 27 on page
45. The control dial
has several positions.
The panoramic sliding roof or sun screen can still be opened, closed and tilted for
approx. 10 minutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of
the front doors is opened it is no longer possible to operate the panoramic sliding
roof and sun screen. 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

Force limiter
The panoramic sliding roof is fitted with a force limiter. The panoramic sliding roof
stops and moves back several centimetres when it cannot be closed because
there is something in the way (e.g. ice). The panoramic sliding roof can be fully
closed without a force limiter by pressing the switch on the recess down and then
pushing it forward until the panoramic sliding roof is fully closed » .
WARNING
Close the panoramic sliding roof carefully - risk of injury! CAUTION
During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vicinity
of the panoramic sliding roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the
opening mechanism. Note
When the panoramic sliding roof is in the comfort position, the intensity of the
wind noise is reduced. Ð Sunshade open/close

Exterior mirror
Fig. 52
Inner part of door: Rotary knob
Adjust the rear mirror before commencing to drive so that there is a clear view to
the rear.
Heating of the external mirror
› Place the rotary knob into the position
 » Fig. 52.
The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +20 °C.
Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously
› Place the rotary knob into the 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 possi-
ble in the Information display » table on page 17
in the menu point Mirror adjust. .
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror
› Place the rotary knob into the position
. The movement of the mirror surface is
identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Switching off operating control
› Place the rotary knob into the position
.
Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors with the rotary knob
› Place the rotary knob into the position
.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position  to a different one.
It is only possible to fold in both exterior mirrors when the ignition is switched on
and at a speed of up to 15

km/h. Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors using the remote control key
› If all of the windows are closed, press and hold the lock button 3
» Fig. 12 on
page 31 on the radio remote control for approx. 2

seconds.
The exterior mirrors are folded back into the driving position after opening the
door or switching on the ignition.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror
On vehicles fitted with the memory function for the driver seat, the surface of the
mirror tilts down slightly when the reverse gear is engaged and the rotary knob is
in the position  » Fig. 52. 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 function for the driver seat, the relevant setting
for the exterior mirrors is also stored automatically when the seat position is stor-
ed » page 68. WARNING
■ Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision
field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.
■ Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles. CAUTION
Never mechanically fold in or fold back the exterior mirrors with the fold-in func-
tion  by hand as this will damage the electric drive. Note
■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the rotary knob, they can only be fol-
ded back into the driving position using the rotary knob. ■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control key and if the ro-
tary knob was in the fold-in position before the ignition was switched on, the mir-
rors will remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switched on.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position  to a different one. £
64 Using the system

■
Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on. ■ If the power setting function fails at any time, the exterior mirrors can be set by
hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
■ 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

CAUTION
■ Never exceed the maximum power consumption, otherwise the vehicle's elec-
trical system can be damaged.
■ Connecting electrical components when the engine is not running will drain the
battery of the vehicle - risk of battery draining!
■ Only use matching plugs to avoid damaging the 12-volt power socket.
■ Only use accessories that have been tested for electromagnetic compatibility in
accordance with the applicable directives.
■ Before turning the ignition on or off, and before starting the car, switch off the
device connected to the 12-volt power socket to prevent any damage caused by
voltage fluctuations.
■ Observe the operating instructions for the connected devices! Note
The 12-volt power socket can only be used for connecting approved electrical ac-
cessories with a power uptake of up to 120 watt.ÐStorage compartments
