On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 30 on page
49. The symbols which mark the switch
positions are identical, however.
The low beam continues to shine while the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in the position  or  . After switching off the ignition, the low beam
is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. The side lights also
go out after the ignition key is removed. WARNING
■ Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
■ The automatic driving lamp control 
 only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the light conditions. The light sensor
cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we recom-
mend switching on the low beam or fog lights! CAUTION
■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na-
tional legal requirements.
■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note
■ If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary. ■ If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
■ In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð

Note
■ If the COMING HOME/LEAVING HOME function is switched on constantly, the
battery will be heavily discharged particularly over short distances. ■ The illumination period for the COMING HOME/LEAVING HOME function can be

.
The AHL system is activated if:
› the light sensor recognises a low light intensity,
› no reverse gear is engaged,
› the operation mode “tourist light” is not switched on.
The light sensor switches on the full outer illumination at low light intensity.
The AHL system makes it possible to change the length and width of illumination
from the headlights. The length and width of illumination changes automatically
in relation to the vehicle speed and the use of the windscreen wiper.
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The “out of town” mode is a basic mode. The dispersion 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.
Rain mode
In the “rain” mode the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wid-
er and the width of illumination is shorter, so that 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 period of
time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deactivated when dropping below or ex-
ceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off
for a period of time longer than 8 minutes. ä
City mode
In the

“city” mode, the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wid-
er and the width of illumination is shorter. The aim is to illuminate also the adja-
cent footpaths, crossings, pedestrian crossings, etc. The mode is active at speeds
of 15-50 km/h.
Motorway mode
In the “motorway” mode, the dispersion of the cone of light is adapted so that it
also illuminates the left (or right) 1)
lane of the motorway, so that the driver can re-
act in time to an obstacle or any other danger. The mode is activated gradually
from a speed of 90 km/h. It is most effective at speeds above 120 km/h.
Tourist light
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system,
driving on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the “tou-
rist light” mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of the
headlights is deactivated.
The “tourist light” mode is activated/deactivated via the information display in
the menu:
■ Settings
■ Travel mode
■ Off
■ Switched on
Cornering lights
The cornering lights are used to illuminate the curves by means of the cone of
light swivelling together with the front headlight with Xenon lights. This function
is active when the speed of the car increases to more than 10 km/h. WARNING
If the cornering lights are defective, the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully
and visit a ŠKODA specialist garage as soon as possible. Note
The AHL system complements the functions of the fog lights with the function
CORNER » page 52 and the function of the dynamic headlight beam adjustment. Ð1)
It is valid for vehicles which are designed for driving on the left.

switched on » page 18. ÐFog lights with the function CORNER
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 48.
The fog lights with the function CORNER are designed to improve the illumination
of the surrounding area near the vehicle when turning, parking, etc.
The fog lights with the function
CORNER are adjusted according to the steering
angle or after switching on the turn signal light 1)
in the following circumstances:
› the vehicle is stationary and the engine is running or it moves with a speed of
maximum 40 km/h;
› the daylight driving lights are not switched on;
› the low beam is switched on or the light switch is in the position
 and the
intensity of the ambient light causes the low beam to be switched on;
ä
ä ›
the fog lights are not switched on;
› no reverse gear is engaged. Note
If the reverse gear is engaged during the active function CORNER, both fog lights
illuminate. Ð Rear fog lights

ings on page 48.

› Pull the light switch to position 2
.
The indicator light  illuminates in the instrument cluster when the rear fog
lights are switched on » page 18.
Only the rear fog light on the trailer lights up if the vehicle has a factory-fitted
towing device or a towing device from ŠKODA original accessories and it is driven
with a trailer and the rear fog lights switched on. Ð
ä
1)
If both switch on versions are conflicting, for example if the steering wheel is turned to the left and
the right turn signal light is switched on, the turn signal light has the higher priority.
