Automatic windscreen wiping in rain
Automatic windscreen wiping in rain can be activated/deactivated in the Infotain-
ment » operating instructions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle systems
(CAR button).
Automatic wipe/wash for windscreen
The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wipers wipe somewhat
later. The wash system and the windscreen wiper operate simultaneously at a
speed of more than 120 km/h.
Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the
wiper to continue for another 2 - 3 wiper strokes (depending on the period of
spraying of the windscreen).
At a speed of more than 2 km/h, the wiper wipes once again 5 seconds after the
last wiper stroke in order to wipe the last drops from the windscreen. This feature
can be activated/deactivated by a ŠKODA specialist garage.
Automatic wipe/wash for the rear window
The wash system operates immediately, the windscreen wiper wipes somewhat
later.
Letting go of the lever will cause the windscreen wash system to stop and the
wiper to continue for another 2 - 3 wiper strokes (depending on the period of
spraying of the windscreen). The lever remains in position
Winter setting of the windscreen wiper
If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from the
windscreen. For this reason we recommend adjusting the windscreen wipers in
winter so that they can be folded out from the windscreen easily.
›
Switch on the windscreen wipers.
›
Switch off the ignition.
The windscreen wipers remain in the position in which they were when switching
off the ignition.
The service position can also be used as a winter position
If the slower
automatic
1
vehicle speed decreases to below 4 km/h, the wiper speed is switched step by
step into a lower wiper step. The original setting is restored step by step when
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 8 km/h.
Headlight cleaning system

The headlights are always cleaned (after the ignition is switched on) after the
first and every tenth spraying of the windscreen when the low beam is switched
on and the lever is pulled into position
Every time the windscreen is cleaned represents the tenth time each headlight is
sprayed.
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray.
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – risk of
damage!
