Radiator fan

Read and observe and
The radiator fan is powered by an electric motor. Operation is controlled ac-
cording to the temperature of the coolant.
WARNING
After switching off the ignition, the fan may intermittently continue to op-
erate for approx. 10 minutes.
Windscreen washer system

Read and observe and
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir
ment » fig. 72.
The cleaning liquid is to be used to clean the front windscreen.
The reservoir capacity is 5.4 litres.
Water alone is not sufficient to intensively clean the front windscreen. We rec-
ommend using clean water together with a screen cleaner from the range of
ŠKODA Original Accessories (with antifreeze in winter), which will remove any
stubborn dirt.
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no
screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated
spirits must not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration
is sufficient only to -5 °C.
