WARNING■Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the boot lid. Other-
wise, the boot lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even it
was locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the boot lid open or ajar, as otherwise exhaust gases may
get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the luggage compartment lid,
as otherwise this could crack – risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ If the vehicle was locked before the boot lid was closed, the lid is immediately
locked automatically when closed.■
Do not press on the rear window when closing the tailgate, it could crack.
Note
■ The function of the button in the grip above the licence plate is deactivated
when starting off or at a speed of 5 km/hour or more for vehicles with central
locking. The function is restored after the vehicle stops and the door is opened.■
Repeated opening and closing of the boot lid can lead to a temporary failure of
the function due to the overheating protection of the motors of the Twindoor
system.

40Using the system

The top lid position is adjusted, for example, in the following situations.
› When the space for opening the lid is limited (e.g. garage height).
› For a more convenient operation, such as by a person's height.
The top position which is reached when the lid opens automatically, is always
lower than the maximum top position which can be reached when the lid is
opened manually.
The lid always opens to the height which was last stored.
Malfunctions
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 41.
If the battery is disconnected and reconnected while the lid is open, it is necessa-
ry to activate the system of the electric boot lid. Activation means closing the lid
by hand. Thus, the end position of the lid is stored under fully closed in secured lock.

Operational faults
46
The power windows operate only when ignition is switched on.
After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the windows for
approx. 10 minutes. The power windows are only switched off completely once
the driver or front passenger door are opened.
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened, dust
as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind noise is
more at certain speeds.
WARNING■ Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehicle.
In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from the
inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 46. If there is an obstacle,
the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several centi-
metres. However, the windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
■
It is recommended to deactivate the electrically operated power windows in
the rear doors (safety pushbutton)
S
» Fig. 25 on page 45 when children are
being transported on the rear seats.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric win-
dows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 200 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the electri-
cal power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power win-
dow mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause there
to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 46.
■
Make sure that the windows are closed whenever you leave the locked vehicle. 
44Using the system

For the sake of the environmentAt high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily
high fuel consumption.
Note
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Repea-
ted opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to overheat. If
this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short time. You
will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating protection
has cooled down.

Force limit
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 44.
The electrical power window system is fitted with a force limiter. It reduces the
risk of bruises or injuries when closing the windows.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window being moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet been re-moved, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not possible to
automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.

The front - and rear window heater only operates when the engine is running.
The windscreen and rear window heater automatically switches off after approxi-
mately 10 minutes.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free from
mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel econ-
omy » page 146 , Saving electrical energy .
Note
■
If the on-board voltage drops, the windscreen and rear window heater switches
off automatically, to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine con- trol » page 218 , Automatic load deactivation .■
If the light is flashing inside the button the heater is off due to low battery.

Windscreen wipers and washers
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
62
Alternative parking position of the rear windscreen wiper (Superb Combi)
63
Headlight cleaning system
63
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet is closed.
If the intermittent wipe is switched on, the intervals are also controlled depend-
ing on speed.
When automatic wiping in rain is active, the wiper intervals are regulated based
on the intensity of the rain.
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 209.WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 243.■
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.
■
Automatic wiping in rain only operates as a support. The driver is not re-
leased from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers
manually depending on the visibility conditions.
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.
■
The ignition must not be switched on if the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
ded out. The wiper blades would move back into their rest position and while do-
ing so damage the paintwork of the bonnet.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. The wiper stops automatically after 5 attempts to eliminate the obsta-
cle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Remove the the obstacle and switch
the wiper on again. 
