The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test.
If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go out a few
seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.

Other incidents
The following reasons can also apply if the warning light  is illuminated.
▶ The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
▶ The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
▶ Snow chains are fitted.
▶ A wheel has been changed.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light  in the instrument cluster can be delayed or does
not light up at all.

The lights work only with the ignition on, unless otherwise stated.
The layout of the controls on right-hand drive vehicles differs partially from
that shown in » Fig. 47 on page 60 . The symbols which mark the positions of
the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean » page 143, Headlight glasses .
WARNINGThe automatic driving lamp control  only operates as a support and
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions. 59Lights and visibility

The sensitivity of the sensor for the determination of the ambient light can be
adjusted in the infotainment » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR -
vehicle settings .
If the light switch is in position 
, the lettering 
illuminates next to the
light switch. If the light is switched on automatically, the symbol 
next to the
light switch also lights up.
Automatic driving-light control during rain
The dipped beam is switched on automatically if the following conditions are
met.
The parking aid is activated.
The light switch is in the position .
The windscreen wipers are on for more than 30 s.
The light turns off about 4 minutes after turning off the wipers.
Automatic headlight control in rain can be activated or deactivated in the Info-
tainment » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - Vehicle settings .
CAUTION
Poorer visibility is detected by a sensor mounted below the windscreen in the
holder of the inside mirror or in the control panel. Do not attach any stickers or
similar objects in front of the sensor in order to avoid impairing the function or
its reliability.

pulling out the light switch directly to the only possible setting.
Note
While driving with an accessory connected to the trailer socket (e.g. trailer,
bike carrier) only the equipment is illuminated by the fog light. The towing de-
vice must be installed at the factory or from the ŠKODA original accessories.
Fog lights with the CORNER function
Read and observe
on page 59 first.
The function CORNER provides better illumination of the nearby environmentwhen turning, manoeuvring or anything similar.
The function automatically switches on the fog lights on each side of the ve- hicle, if the following conditions are met.
The turn signal is switched on or the front wheels are turned sharply 1)
.
The vehicle speed is below 40 km/h.
The low beam is switched on.
The fog lights are not switched on.
Note
The two fog lights are switched on when you shift into the reverse gear.1)
If both switch-on conditions are conflicting, for example, if the front wheels are turned to the left and
the right turn signal light is switched on, the turn signal light has the higher priority.
62Operation

Exceeding the speed limit during the regulation
If exceeding the speed limit is required during the regulation, for example
when overtaking, then the accelerator pedal is to be fully pressed.
When exceeding the speed limit, an acoustic signal sounds and the warning
light 
in the instrument cluster flashes.
The regulation is resumed once the speed has fallen below the set limit.
CAUTION
When driving downhill, exceeding the set speed limit may occur. When exceed-
ing the limit, an acoustic signal sounds and the warning light in the instru-
ment cluster flashes.
Note
By pressing the  button during the regulation this is cancelled and the GRA
is activated.

The Front Assist (hereinafter referred to as "system") warns you of the danger
of a collision with a vehicle or another obstacle in front of the vehicle, and tries
to avoid a collision or mitigate its consequences by automatically applying the
brakes where necessary.
The area in front of the vehicle is monitored by a radar sensor » Fig. 144 on
page 122 .
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 114, in section Introduction .■
The system does not respond to crossing or oncoming objects.
CAUTIONIn case of failure of more than one brake light on the vehicle or on the electri-
cally connected trailer, the system becomes unavailable.
Radar sensor
Fig. 144
Mounting location of the radar
sensor
Read and observe and on page 122 first.
The radar sensor » Fig. 144(hereinafter referred to as "sensor") may detect ob-
jects by radiating and receiving electromagnetic waves.
The sensor function may be impaired in the events of one of the following. ▶ The sensor is soiled by mud, snow and the like.
▶ The area in front and around the sensor is obscured by labels, auxiliary lights
and similar.
▶ When visibility is poor, (e.g. fog, heavy rain, thick snowfall).
If the sensor is dirty or covered, the corresponding message appears on the
display of the instrument cluster » page 125, Information messages .
WARNING■
If you suspect that the sensor is damaged, deactivate the system. Have
the sensor checked by a specialist garage.■
The sensor can become misaligned by collisions or by damage to the front
of the vehicle, the wheel arch or the underside of the vehicle. This can lead
to impaired function of the sensor - risk of accidents! Have the sensor
checked by a specialist garage.
■
The area in front and around the senor should not be obscured by labels,
auxiliary lights and similar. This can lead to impaired function of the sensor
- risk of accidents! 

Replacing bulbs in rear light
190Some manual skills are required to change a bulb. For this reason, if uncertain,
we recommend that bulbs are replaced by a specialist garage or other expert
help is sought.
▶ Switch off the ignition and the relevant lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
A stowage compartment for replacement bulbs is located in a plastic box in
the spare wheel or underneath the floor covering in the luggage compartment.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
Visit a specialist garage if an LED is faulty.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 149.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
Bulbs H8, H7 and H4 are pressurised and may burst when changed - there
is a risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
CAUTION
■ Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.■
The protective cap of the bulb must always be properly inserted into the
headlamp. Water and dirt may get into the headlamp if the cover is not re-
placed properly - there is a risk of damage to the headlamp!
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
light bulbs should be changed by your specialist garage.■
We recommend that you always carry a box of replacement bulbs in the vehi-
cle. Replacement bulbs can be purchased from ŠKODAOriginal Accessories.
