Radiator fan

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 155.
The fan can intermittently continue to run for approximately 10 minutes after the
ignition is switched off.
The radiator fan is powered by an electric motor. Operation is controlled accord-
ing to the temperature of the coolant.
Windscreen washer system

First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 155.
The windscreen washer fluid reservoir contains the cleaning fluid for the wind-
screen or rear window and for the headlight cleaning system. The windscreen
washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment.
The filling level of the container is about 3.5 litres and about 5.4 litres on vehicles
that have a headlight washing system
Clear water is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen and headlights.
We recommend using clean washing water together with the screen cleaner from
the range of ŠKODA Original Accessories (in winter additionally with antifreeze)
which is capable of removing stubborn dirt.
Antifreeze should always be added to the cleaning water in the winter even if the
vehicle is fitted with heated windscreen washer nozzles.
1)
In some countries, 5.4 ltr. applies for both variants.

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.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances must radiator antifreeze or other additives be added to
■
the windscreen washer fluid.
If the vehicle is fitted with a headlight cleaning system, only cleaning products
 ■
which do not attack the polycarbonate coating of the headlights must be added
to the windscreen washer fluid.
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when re-
■
plenishing it with liquid otherwise the liquid transportation system can be conta-
minated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to malfunction.

The engine has been factory-filled with a high-grade oil that can be use through-
out the year - except in extreme climate zones.
Engine oils are the subject of continuous further development. Thus the informa-
tion stated in this Owner's Manual is only correct at the time of publication.
ŠKODA Service Partners are informed about the latest changes by the manufac-
turer. We therefore recommend that you have the oil changed by a ŠKODA Serv-
ice Partner.
The specifications (VW standards) stated in the following can be indicated sepa-
rately or together with other specifications on the bottle.
