CAUTIONIf in addition to the symbol  the symbol  » page 35 illuminates while driv-
ing,  stop driving - risk of engine damage! Switch off the engine and seek as-
sistance from a specialist garage.
 Engine oil
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
When the warning light  is
illuminated or is flashing , the engine oil pressure
is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning.
›
Stop the vehicle and switch the engine off if the warning light does not ex-
tinguish or if it begins to flash while you are driving.
›
Check the oil level and top up with engine oil if necessary
» page 110, Check-
ing the oil level .
If the oil level is within the specified range and the warning light illuminates
or blinks again after the engine is started,  do not continue driving! Switch
off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
CAUTION
■ The red oil pressure light  is not an oil level indicator! One should there-
fore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably after every refuelling
stop.■
 Stop driving if for some reason it is not possible to top up the engine oil
under the current conditions. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
 Coolant
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
If the warning light 
illuminates or flashes , either the coolant temperature is
too high or the coolant level is too low.
An audible signal sounds as a warning tone.
›
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the coolant lev-
el » page 112 , Checking the coolant level .
›
If the coolant level is too low, add coolant to the reservoir » page 112.
Do not continue if for some reason it is not possible to fill with coolant under
the current circumstances! This can cause serious engine damage. Therefore,
switch the engine off and seek help from a specialist garage.
If the coolant is within the specified range, the increased temperature may be
caused by an operating problem at the radiator fan.›
Switch off the ignition.
›
Check the fuse for the radiator fan, replace if necessary » page 137, Fuses in
the engine compartment .
If the coolant level and fan fuse are OK and the warning light 
illuminates
again after switching on the ignition, 
stop driving!
Seek help from a specialist garage.
WARNING■ Carefully open the coolant expansion bottle. If the engine is hot, the cool-
ing system is pressurized – risk of scalding! It is therefore best to allow the
engine to cool down before removing the cap.■
Do not touch the radiator fan. The radiator fan may switch itself on auto-
matically even if the ignition is off - a danger of injury is present!
CAUTION
■ Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant.■
Never cover the radiator - there is a risk of the engine overheating.
  Automated transmission
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
Warning light 
If the warning light 
illuminates and a beep sounds, then there is a fault to
the automated transmission. 
Do not drive the vehicle! Switch off the engine
and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
Warning light 
If the warning light 
illuminates and no gear change is possible, there may
be technical reasons for why the functionality of the automatic transmission is
limited.

CAUTION■Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.■
If windows are frozen, always remove ice » page 99, Windows and external
mirrors before operating the electrical power windows. The window seals and
the electrical power window mechanism can otherwise be damaged.
■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. With the windows open, dust
and other dirt can get into the vehicle. In addition, wind noises can occur at
certain speeds.

outdoor temperature is higher than -20 °C.
CAUTION
Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.

Switching the rear window heater on/off
When the heater is switched on, a lamp illuminates inside the button.
The heating only works when the engine is running.
The heater automatically switches off after approximately 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 economy.
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically, in order
to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 116, Auto-

Windscreen wipers and washers
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operate wiper and washer
53
The wiper and washer system provide a good view through the windscreen or
rear window.
The windscreen wipers and the windscreen washer system only operate if the
ignition is switched on.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid » page 109. 
12AB52Using the system

WARNING■Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 134.■
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. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
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 igni-
tion is turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold tempera-
tures between 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 be-
fore 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 fro-
zen to the windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wip-
er motor!
■
Carefully peel frozen wiper blades off the pane.
■
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
arms could damage the paint of the bonnet.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the
obstacle. If the obstacle continues to block the wiper, the wiper stops in order
to avoid damaging the wiper. Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper on
again.
Note
To avoid streaking, the wiper blades must be kept clean » page 101.Operate wiper and washerFig. 42

Seats and head restraints
Seats and head restraints
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting the front seats
56
Head restraints - adjusting height
56
Headrests - removing and installing
57
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent
arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for the following: › Reaching the controls safely and quickly,
› A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
› Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!■
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a
result of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
■
Never carry more people than there are number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seat) – risk of accident!
Note
After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle.55Seats and head restraints
