Visibility - Skoda Octavia 2014 Owner's Manual

There is a reflector installed here on some vehicles instead.
Entry space lighting
The lighting is positioned on the bottom edge of the exterior mirror and illumi-
nates the entry area of the front door.
The light comes on after the vehicle has been unlocked or on opening the
front door. The lighting goes out about 30 seconds after the doors are closed
or if the ignition is switched on.
WARNING
If the entry light is on, do not touch its cover – risk of burns!

When the heater is switched on, a lamp lights up inside or below the button.
The heating only works when the engine is running.
The heater automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes.
If the heating of the motor is switched off with the heating turned on and then
started again within 15 minutes again, the heating is continued. The start of
the time limit for the Auto Off is counted before switching off the engine al-
ready from switching on the heating.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free
from mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy.
