The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate if the ignition is switched on.
The rear window is wiped once automatically if the windscreen wipers are on
when reverse gear is selected.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid » page 129.WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 39.■
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety rea-
sons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
■
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or before
switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the
windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!■
If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on, the
windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the ignition is
turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be- tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again.
■
Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen.
■
Do not switch on the ignition if the front wiper arms are retracted. The wiper
blades would move back into their rest position and while doing so damage the
paintwork of the bonnet.
Note
■ Periodic wiping is dependent on the driving speed. The faster the driver is go-
ing, the more frequent the wiper action.■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the wiper is blocked by an obstruction, the wiper will remain station-
ary. Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper on again. 
38Using the system

■The capacity of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is approximately 3 litres.■The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen clean-
er to avoid any smears. The wiper blades should be cleaned with a sponge or
cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues, for example.

Exterior mirrors
41WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other objects.■Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of vi-
sion. 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.
Note
■ The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running.■Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.■
If the electrical exterior mirror setting fails at any time, the mirrors can be adjus-
ted by hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.

Contact a specialist garage if there is a fault with the power setting function for
