wipers start wiping a little later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper op-
erate simultaneously at a speed of more than 120
km/h.
› Release the lever. The windscreen wash system stops and the wiper continues
for another 3 - 4 wiper strokes (depending on the period of spraying of the
windscreen). At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again 5 sec-
onds after the last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the wind-
screen. This feature can be activated/deactivated by a

ŠKODA specialist garage.

Winter position
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from the
windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in
winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
This rest position is set as follows:
› Switch on the windscreen wipers.
› Switch off the ignition. The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which
they were when switching off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position » page 51.Ð Automatic rear window wiper

the rear win-
dow is wiped every 30 or 10 seconds if the vehicle's speed exceeds 5 km/h.
When the rain sensor is active (the lever is in the position 1
) the function is only
active if the windscreen wipers operate in continuous mode (no break between
each wiping process).

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

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning system)
Introductory information
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the air flow, the blower
stages and air distribution. The system also takes sunlight into account, which
eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic
mode » page 87 ensures maximum well-being of the occupants at all times of
the year.
Description of Climatronic system
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met:
› engine running;
› outside temperature above approx. +2 °C;
› AC 13
» Fig. 91 on page 86
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Recommended setting for all periods of the year.
› Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
› Press the button
AUTO 8
» Fig. 91

■ We recommend that you have the Climatronic system cleaned by a
ŠKODA spe-
cialist garage once every year. ■ On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the
Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be
switched off, see operating instructions for the radio or navigation system. Ð Overview of the control elements

. Press
the button AUTO when the windscreen is demisted.
■ The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2 °C. ÐControlling blower

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Direct switching on/off 89
System settings 90
Radio remote control 90
Changing the battery of the radio remote control 91
Auxiliary heating (parking heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-con-
ditioning system or Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when the engine is switched off to preheat the
vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine). £
