WARNING
Properly maintained windscreen wiper blades are essential for clear visibility
■
and safe driving
» page
47.
Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
■
heating the windscreen beforehand. Otherwise the window cleaner could
freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or before
■
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 frozen to the
windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
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 ignition is
turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be-
tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again.
Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window.
■
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.
Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons.
■
These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Partner.
Note
The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en-
■
gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C.
The content of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is 3.5 litres. On vehicles
■
fitted with the headlight cleaning system, the volume is around 5.4 litres.
The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen clean-
■
er to avoid any smears. The wiper blades should be cleaned with a sponge or
cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues, for example.
