The warning lights show certain functions/faults and may be accompanied by
audible signals.
WARNING■ If illuminated warning lights and the corresponding descriptions and warn-
ing notes are not observed, this may result in severe injuries or major vehicle
damage.■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the engine compart-
ment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is essential to ob-
serve safety notes » page 127, Engine compartment .
Handbrake
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 16.
The warning light
comes on if the handbrake is applied. An audible warning is
also given if you drive the vehicle for at least 3 seconds at a speed of more than
6 km/h.
Braking system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 16.
The warning light
illuminates if the brake fluid level is too low or there is a
fault in the ABS.
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake flu-
id » page 133 .
Further information » page 68.
16Using the system
NoteIf the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light should go out after
driving a short distance.
Traction Control System (TC)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 16.
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on.
The warning light comes on when driving when a control cycle is activated. The warning light illuminates permanently if there is a fault in the TCS.
The fact that the TCS operates together with the ABS means that the TCS warn-ing light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light comes on immediately after starting the engine, the TCS
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the TCS can be switched
on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the
TCS is fully functional again.
Further information » page 81, Traction Control System (TCS) .
Note
If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected and reconnected, the warning light
comes on after switching on the ignition. The warning light should go out after
driving a short distance.
Antilock brake system (ABS)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 16.
If the warning light
lights up, there is a fault in the ABS.
The vehicle will only be braked by the normal brake system without the ABS. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Further information » page 81, Antilock Braking System (ABS) .WARNING■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
light system » page 36.■
If the warning light » page 16 is displayed simultaneously with the ABS
warning light , do not continue your journey! Seek help from a specialist
garage.
■
The following guidelines should be observed when opening the bonnet and
checking the brake fluid level » page 127, Engine compartment .
■
A fault to the ABS system or the braking system can increase the vehicle's
braking distance – risk of accident!

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of the controls differs
from that shown in » Fig. 22 on page 33 . The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are however identical.
WARNING■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
■
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.
Note■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on.■
The headlights may mist up temporarily. 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. This mist has no
influence on the life of the lighting system.

not be dazzled.
Note
■ The main beam can only be switched on when the low beam lights are on.■The turn signal only operates if the ignition is switched on.■
The turn signal is automatically cancelled after negotiating a curve.
■
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the driver's door is opened if the
lever is not in the middle position after removing the ignition key from the igni-
tion lock. The acoustic warning signal will stop just as soon as the driver's door is closed.

35Lights and visibility
If the City Safe Drive system is currently slowing the vehicle down automatically,
the warning light will flash quickly .
Automatic braking interventions can be terminated by pressing the clutch, accel- erator or by moving the steering wheel.
If the City Safe Drive system is not currently available, or if there is a system fault, the warning light will flash slowly .
The following conditions cause the City Safe Drive system to become not availa-
ble.
› Taking bends tightly.
› When fully pressing down the accelerator pedal.
› When the City Safe Drivesystem function is switched off/faulty.
› When the laser sensor is dirty, concealed or has overheated
» page 88.
› In the event of snow, heavy rain or fog.
› When vehicles are travelling side by side.
› When vehicles are crossing.
› When vehicles are approaching in the same lane.
› When the vehicles are very dirty and have a low level of reflection.
› With high levels of dust.WARNING■
The City Safe Drive system cannot exceed physical and system-defined lim-
its. The added convenience of the City Safe Drive system must never give you
a reason to takes risks with regard safety. The driver is always the one re-
sponsible for braking in time.■
The City Safe Drive system cannot prevent accidents and injuries by itself.
■
The City Safe Drive system can carry out unexpected braking interventions
in complex driving situations, e.g. when vehicles scrape past each other.
■
Taking the City Safe Drive system into account in one's own driving behav-
iour can lead to accidents and serious injuries. The City Safe Drive system is
not a substitute for the driver's attention.
■
Always adapt your speed and safety distance to the vehicle ahead to the
visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.
■
The City Safe Drive system cannot detect persons, animals, or crossing vehi-
cles or approaching vehicles in the same lane.
■
The City Safe Drive system cannot exceed physical and system-defined lim-
its. For instance, responses from the City Save Drive system can happen late
or unexpectedly from the driver's perspective. Always stay attentive and take
control when required.
WARNING■ The laser beam from the laser sensor can cause serious eye injuries.■Never use optical devices, e.g. a range-finder camera or magnifying glass to
look into the laser sensor.■
The laser beam can also be active when the City Safe Drivesystem is switch-
ed off or is not available. The laser beam is not visible to the human eye.
CAUTION
If the vehicle starts to roll after the City Safe Drive system is triggered, use the
foot pedal to break.
Note
■ When replacing the windscreen wiper blades, only use windscreen wiper blades
approved by the manufacturer.■
Do not paint the laser sensor range on the windscreen. Do not cover it up with
stickers or similar.
■
Keep the laser sensor range free of dirt and ice at all times.
■
Remove any snow with a hand-held brush and we recommend you remove any
ice with a solvent-free deicing spray.
■
If the laser sensor range on the windscreen has scratches, cracks, etc, replace
the windscreen. Only use windscreens approved by the manufacturer. Carrying
out repairs to the windscreen are not permissible.
■
A damaged windscreen in the area of the laser sensor can lead to a failure of
the City Safe Drive system.
■
Repairing the laser sensor requires specialist expertise. We recommend the
ŠKODA service partners.

Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, we recommend
having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other expert help in the
event of any uncertainties.
› Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
› Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
› A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in the
spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 127, Engine compartment .■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not sufficiently
illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty by other
road users.
■
The H4 bulb is pressurised and may explode during a bulb replacement - risk
of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety glasses when changing a bulb.
CAUTIONDo not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amountof dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth, napkin, or sim-
ilar.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-
ble to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the vehi-
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
■
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage af-
ter replacing a bulb in the main or low beam.
■
In the case of a defective CD player, visit a specialist garage.
