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.
The warning lights are located at the following positions in the instrument

▶ You can drive on, exercising appropriate caution. Seek assistance from a spe-
cialist garage immediately.
WARNING■ Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-
rain and traffic conditions.■
The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or the like.
CAUTION
■ As long as the warning light  illuminates, one must take into account an
increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.■
Using diesel fuel with increased sulphur content can significantly reduce the
service life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The alarm system has its own power source, service life of which is 5 years. In
order to ensure functionality of the alarm system, we recommend that you get
the alarm checked after this time by a specialist garage.

The alarm is triggered when one of the following unauthorised actions is acti-
vated on the vehicle with an activated warning system. ▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶
Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.

Windscreen wipers and washers
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Front wipers and washers
76
Rear window wipers and washers / reversing camera cleaning system
77
Headlight cleaning system
77
The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is
switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed.
WARNINGDo 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 windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from
the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them
off the windscreen » page 294.■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor.
■
Carefully release the frozen-on windscreen wiper blades from the wind-
screen and remove snow and ice.
■
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is the risk of damaging the
windscreen with the windscreen wiper arms.
■
Do not switch on the ignition when the front windscreen wiper arms are fol-
ded down - there is the danger of damaging the bonnet by the windscreen
wiper arms.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away
the obstacle five times. Thereafter, the wipers will stop to prevent them be-
coming damaged. Turn on the wipers again only after the obstacle has been
removed.
Note■ Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper
blades.■
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.

Infotainment
Introductory information
Important information
Introduction to the subject
WARNING■Only use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle
in every traffic situation (e.g. Do not write text messages while driving, do
not couple or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do
not enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Other-
wise there is a risk of an accident!■
Always route the connection cable of the external device in such a way
that it does not restrict you when driving.
WARNING■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emergency vehicles, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
CAUTION
In some countries, some Infotainment features can no longer be selected
when the vehicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunc-
tion, but complies with the national legal regulations.
Mobile telephones and applications
Fig. 157
QR code with reference to web
pages for checking the compati-
bility of devices
The availability of some of the functions described in this Owner's Manual
depends on the type of device to be connected and the applications installed
in it.
Mobile telephones
On the ŠKODA pages, check to see if Infotainment is compatible with the se-
lected mobile telephones. This check takes place by reading the QR code
» Fig. 157 or after typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the multitude of mobile telephones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
Infotainment unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check
the function on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, before-
hand.
Only those versions of the selected telephones will be tested and supported
which originate from the official distribution network. The same also applies to
their firmware and software.
The functions of the mobile telephone to be tested may differ from the same
type of mobile telephone depending on the specification for the respective
country or the specific service.
Mobile telephones with the operating system and in the version available at
the time of these tests will be tested. In this regard, it could be the case that
the functions of a mobile telephone may differ with a different operating sys-
tem version compared to the one used with the tested telephone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by the mobile telephone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to Infotainment or
the vehicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or
unauthorized use of mobile telephones.
Applications
Applications can be installed in external devices (e.g. Mobile, tablet) making it
possible to display additional information in the Infotainment screen or to op-
erate Infotainment.
Due to the variety of applications as well as their ongoing development, the
available applications may not work in all external devices. ŠKODA AUTO can
accept no liability for their proper function.
Applications, their use and the required data connection may be chargeable. 121Introductory information
