Windscreen wipers and washers
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
57
Alternative park position of the rear window wiper
58
Headlight cleaning system
58
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet is closed 1)
.
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 206.
WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
and safe driving » page 235.■
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety rea-
sons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
WARNING (Continued)■ 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
■ 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.■
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!
■
Carefully peel frozen wiper blades off the pane.
■
Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving.
■
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.
■
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.
Note
■ Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the wind-
screen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers.■
The rear window wiper only operates if the boot lid is closed.
■
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. 
1)
On vehicles which do not have a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash sys-
tem operates also when the bonnet is opened.

Headlight cleaning system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 56.
After the ignition is switched on, the headlights are always cleaned at the first
and after every tenth spray of the windscreen (setting
5
» Fig. 36 on page 57),
when the low beam or main beam is switched on.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight len-
ses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guidelines
must be observed » page 191, Headlight lenses .
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – risk of
damage!
Rear mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
59
Exterior mirrors
59WARNING■ 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.
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to operation-
al faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
WARNING■ Automatic dimming mirrors contain an electrolytic fluid which may leak
should the mirror glass break.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath apparatus.
Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not possible, at
least open the window.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately
wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. Then con- sult a doctor immediately.

If you intend to work underneath the vehicle, you must secure the vehicle
from rolling away and support it with suitable supporting blocks; the car jack
is not sufficient – risk of injury!

lock must always be checked after closing the bonnet in order to ensure that
it has engaged properly.
■
If you notice that the lock is not properly engaged while driving, stop the ve-
hicle immediately and close the bonnet – risk of accident!
CAUTION
Always top up using the correct specification of fluids. This may result in major
operating problems and also vehicle damage!
For the sake of the environment
In view of the requirements for the environmentally friendly disposal of fluids and the special tools and knowledge required for such work, we recommend that flu-
ids be changed by a specialist garage.
Note
■ Please consult a specialist garage for any questions relating to fluids.■Fluids with the proper specifications can be purchased from the ŠKODA Original
Accessories or from the ŠKODA Genuine Parts ranges.
