The capacity of the reservoir is 3 litres, or 4.7 litres in vehicles with the head-
light cleaning system (in some countries, the reservoir capacity is 4.7 litres for
both variants).
Use a suitable windscreen washer fluid in accordance with the current or ex-
pected weather conditions. We recommend that you use accessories from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight cleaning system, then only use
■
windscreen washer fluid types that do not attack the polycarbonate coating of
the headlights - otherwise there is a risk of damage to headlights.
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when
■
replenishing it with liquid otherwise the liquid transportation system can be-
come contaminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to mal-
function.
