When the heater is switched on, a lamp lights up 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 190, Auto-
matic load deactivation .■
If the light is flashing inside the button the heater is off due to low battery.
■
The position and shape of the switch may vary according to the equipment
fitted.

Windscreen wipers and washers
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Windscreen wipers and washers
73
Headlight cleaning system
74
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.
72Using the system

WARNING■Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other ob-
jects.■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
tus. Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not pos-
sible, 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, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water.
Then consult a doctor immediately.

WARNINGThe illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to opera-
tional faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
CAUTION
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the sen-
sor is not affected by other objects.
Note
If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror
dimming is also switched off.ABCD75Lights and visibility

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!■

80Using the system

WARNINGIf, as a passenger, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabe-
tes), we recommend you do not use seat heating on the driver's or front
passenger seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the
legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend
to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that
the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your
doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The seat heating in the following cases will not turn on - there is a risk of
damaging the seat covers and seat heating. ■The seats are not occupied by people.
■ Items are fastened or stored items on the seats, such as a child seat, a bag
and the like.
■ Additional seat covers or protective covers are fixed to the seats.■
Clean the seat covers » page 176.
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically, in order
to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 190, Auto-
matic load deactivation .

WARNING■The front passenger airbag should be switched off when transporting ob-
jects on the seat which was folded forwards » page 22, Deactivating the
front passenger airbag .■
Adjust the seat backrest only when the vehicle is stationary.
■
When moving the seat backrest, make sure the seat backrest has been
properly secured – check by pulling on the seat backrest.
■
If the seat backrest is folded, passengers may only be transported on the
outer seat behind the driver.

When moving the seat backrest, keep limbs out of the area between the
seat and seat backrest – risk of injury!
■
Never transport the following items on the seat backrest when folded
forwards. ■ Objects that could restrict the driver's view.
■ Objects which make it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle,
e.g. if they roll under the pedals, or could protrude into the driver's zone.
■ Objects which could lead to injury to passengers due to a change of di-
rection or braking manoeuvre when accelerating sharply.
Head restraints
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting, installing and removing the headrests.
82
Rear centre head restraints
83
The head restraints and the front seats must be adjusted to match the body
size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to provide
the most effective levels of protection to the passengers » page 9, Correct and
safe seated position .
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head rest is at the same level
as the upper part of your head.
WARNING■ With seats occupied, the respective head rests must be correctly set (may
not be in the bottom position) - risk of fatal injury!■
With seats occupied, the respective head rests must be installed and ad-
justed correctly - risk of fatal injury!
NoteThe position of the front and rear outer head restraints is adjustable in height.
The middle rear head restraint is only adjustable in two positions.
