The wiper and washer system provide a good view through the windscreen or
rear window.
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet is closed 1)
.
Top up with windscreen wiper fluid » page 186.
WARNING■
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visi-
bility and safe driving » page 212.■
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.
■
Automatic wiping during rain is only a support. The driver is not released
from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers man-
ually depending on the visibility conditions. 
1)
On vehicles which do not have a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash system
operates also when the bonnet is opened.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on and off directly
111
System settings
111
Radio remote control
111
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and venti-
lation), hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating.
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon  is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating can be used when both when stationary, when the en-
gine is switched off, to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).
The auxiliary heater functions in connection with the air-conditioning system
or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating also warms up the engine.
The auxiliary heating warms up the coolant by combusting fuel from the vehi-
cle tank. This heats the air flowing into the passenger compartment (if the
blower is turned on).
The heater is switched on or off automatically depending on the ambient con-
ditions to give the best possible conditions for the engine running and the in-
terior heating.
For vehicles with gasoline engines, the automatic switching on and off of the
heater can be disabled in a specialist workshop.
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the heater, do not switch off the car in pla-
ces where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable mate-
rials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. -. risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and auto-
matically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the
fuel tank, the auxiliary heating switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside
of the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If the auxili-
ary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer peri-
od, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehi-
cle battery.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operat-
ing problem.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the aux-
iliary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected
by you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position 
or 
.

The auxiliary heating can be directly switched on or off at any time using the
button 
» Fig. 114 on the operating part of the air-conditioning system , on the
operating part of the Climatronic system or via the radio remote con-
trol » page 111 .
If the auxiliary heating has not already been switched off, it switches off auto-
matically after the running time set in the Running time menu.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump still runs for a short
period.
System settings
Read and observe
and on page 110 first.
The following menu items can be selected from the Aux. heating menu item in
the MAXI DOT display (depending on the vehicle equipment). ■ Day of the wk. - set the current day of the week
■ Running time - Set the required running time in 5 minute increments. The
running time can be 10 to 60 minutes.
■ Mode - Set the desired heating/ventilation mode
■ Starting time 1 , Starting time 2 , Starting time 3 - for each pre-set time, the
day and the time (hour and minute) can be set for switching on the auxiliary
heating. An empty position can be found between Sunday and Monday when
selecting the day. If this empty position is selected, the activation is per-
formed without taking into account the day.
■ Activate - Activate pre-set mode
■ Deactivate - Deactivate pre-set mode
■ Factory settings - Restore factory settings
■ Back - return to main menu.
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a
time again.
If the pre-set menu is closed by selecting the Back menu item or if no changes
are made on the display for more than 10 seconds, the set values are stored,
but the pre-set time is not activated.
An indicator light on the button  is illuminated when the system is running.
The running system deactivates after expiration of the operating period or can
be deactivated earlier by pressing the button to directly switch on/off the aux-
iliary heating  or by using the radio remote control.

AB111Heating and air conditioning

When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertically,
with the aerial A
» Fig. 115 pointing upwards. The antenna must not be cov-
ered with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio re-
mote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle
is at least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
user different kinds of feedback.
