External lighting control Skoda Octavia I Tour 1996 - 2010

Notes:

Never drive with the parking lights on only - danger of an accident! The side lights of the Skoda Octavia Tour are not bright enough to adequately illuminate the road in front of the car, and for other road users to notice you. Therefore, in the dark and in poor visibility, always turn on the dipped headlights of the Skoda Octavia Tour.

When the car is parked for a long time, it is recommended to turn off the parking lights.

In the event of a malfunction at the light switch, the dipped beam headlights automatically light up.

The outdoor lighting control unit is located in the passenger compartment on the left side of the driver.

A  - the central light switch Skoda Octavia Tour;

B  - headlight corrector.

The handle of the central light switch can be translated into 5 fixed positions:

0 – all consumers are off;

І  – side lights, instrument cluster lighting and license plate lights are on;

ІІ  – in addition, high or low beam headlights of the Skoda Octavia Tour are switched on;

ІІІ  - by moving the handle in the axial direction towards itself until the first click ( A ), the same consumers are switched on as in position II,  as well as the front fog lights of the Skoda Octavia Tour (the indicator lights up in the instrument cluster); 

IV  - by moving the handle in the axial direction towards itself from position III to the second click ( B ), the rear fog lights are additionally switched  on (an indicator lights up in the instrument cluster).

Note:

If the rear fog lamp is switched on when operating with a trailer hitched to the vehicle via a factory-fitted tow hitch, the rear fog lamp on the trailer only illuminates.

By turning the knob of the headlight corrector adjuster, the angle of inclination of the headlight beam is changed (depending on the vehicle load) in such a way as to prevent dazzling of oncoming drivers.

Alignment of the mark on the regulator knob and the number on the scale ensures the appropriate adjustment of the position of the headlights for the following vehicle loading options:

"-" - the front seats are occupied, the trunk is empty;

1 - all seats are occupied, the trunk is empty;

2 - all seats are occupied, the trunk is fully loaded. Operation with a trailer with a small load on the coupling device;

3 - only the driver's seat is occupied, the trunk is fully loaded. Operation with a trailer at maximum load on the hitch;

Hazard switch

To turn the hazard warning light system on and off, press the switch.

If the hazard warning light is on, the corresponding signaling devices flash together with the direction indicator lights, incl. indicator in the switch. The turn signal indicator and the indicator in the switch also flash. The hazard warning light system can also be activated when the ignition is on.

In the event of a traffic accident accompanied by the deployment of an airbag, the hazard warning light system turns on automatically. When using hazard warning lights, observe the relevant legal regulations.

Turn on the hazard warning light system in the beam if:

• drive up to the tail of the traffic jam;
• the car has some kind of technical defect
• you are in a position of emergency.
