Windows and overhead hatch (Skoda Yeti 5L)

Windows

Caution: Do not obstruct the closing of windows as this may result in injury.

Note: When using the electric window lifter for a long time, it may automatically turn off for a while to prevent overheating.

The car is equipped as standard with electric front door window lifts with automatic window opening/closing function, anti-pinch function and comfortable opening/closing function. Electric rear door window lifts are installed as optional equipment.

To lower/raise the rear door windows on models without electric rear window lifters, there are rotary handles installed on the interior trim of the rear doors. The following information applies only to doors with electric windows.

The windows can be lowered and raised using the remote control or the key of the single lock, using the convenient opening/closing function (see below).

Switches are used to control the electric window lifters: individual switches located on the door trim are used on the passenger doors, and a switch panel is installed on the driver's door to control all the window lifters (see illustration 5.1a). This panel also contains a switch (S) that allows you to lock the window control switches located in the rear doors. When the rear windows are locked, the indicator built into the switch comes on. To open or close a door window, press or pull up the front edge of the corresponding switch and hold it until the glass reaches the desired position. In case of switches on individual doors (see illustration 5.1b) to raise/lower the glass, press the upper/lower edge of the switch respectively.







The window lifters can be operated using the switches when the ignition is on, and also for approximately 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, but only until at least one of the front doors is opened. After a few seconds, the comfort opening/closing mode starts (see below).

The automatic window open/close function allows you to fully open or close the window with one press of the switch. To use this function, press or pull up the corresponding switch to the second detent position and release the switch - the glass will be completely lowered or raised, respectively. To stop the glass movement while using the auto open/close function, press or pull the switch again.



If the battery is disconnected or discharged while the windows are not completely closed, the automatic mode is disabled and must be initialized. To do this, completely close all doors and windows, pull up and hold the corresponding window lifter button for at least a second, then release the button, pull it up again and hold it for about 3 seconds. Initialization can be performed for individual windows (in turn), and simultaneously for all glasses.

The anti-pinch function is designed to prevent serious consequences caused by body parts being pinched by moving glass. If an obstacle is detected in the path of the rising glass, the glass automatically stops raising and the glass is lowered. In this case, you should remove the obstruction and try to close the window again. If an obstacle appears again within 10 seconds after the first automatic interruption of the window lifting, the situation is repeated. If, within 10 seconds after the second automatic interruption of the glass lifting, an obstacle arises again when attempting to close the window in automatic mode, the glass only stops (does not go down). After this, the anti-pinch function is disabled for the next 10 seconds.

Note: Careless closing of windows may disable the anti-pinch function and result in injury.

The comfort opening/closing function allows you to simultaneously open or close all windows with electric windows when the ignition is off. For this function to work, the window lifters must be in good working order. To open or close all windows, hold down the unlock or lock button on the key fob (see illustration 1.1), or hold the key in the driver's door lock, turned in the appropriate direction (see illustration 1.3). On models with anti-theft alarm, the comfort opening function is only active for 45 seconds after the single lock is unlocked with a metal key. To stop the glass from moving, release the key or the button on the key fob. On some models, you can control the comfort opening/closing by holding down the single lock button (see illustration 1.4).

Caution: Although the anti-pinch function continues to operate when using the comfort closing function, make sure that there are no obstacles in the glass's path when closing. Via the menu "Settings→Comfort→Window control" you can change various settings for controlling the window lifters:

• "Off" - comfortable opening/closing is disabled.
• "Select all" - comfort opening/closing is enabled for all window lifters.
• "Driver" - comfortable opening/closing is enabled only for the window lifter in the driver's door.

Upper hatch and its curtain

Note: To avoid damage, clear the lid and hatch of snow and ice before opening or lifting the sunroof in winter. Regularly remove leaves and other foreign objects from the top hatch cover guides by hand or with a vacuum cleaner.

In a special configuration, the car can be equipped with a panoramic lift-and-slide sunroof with electric drive. It consists of two glass panels. The front sliding panel can be folded back or moved backwards, creating a large open space above the front seats. The rear section is rigidly integrated into the roof frame and is stationary. To ensure optimal comfort in the cabin, including climate, both parts of the panoramic sunroof are made of tinted glass with low light transmission (12%) and heat (10%). To increase comfort, a sunshade with an electric cable is installed, allowing you to completely close the panoramic sunroof.

The combined control switch for the sliding panel of the panoramic sunroof and the sunblind is integrated into the front ceiling light. The sunroof can be operated using this switch when the ignition is on and for approximately 10 minutes after the ignition is off, but only until at least one of the front doors is opened.



Before opening the hatch in winter, remove any ice that may form on it to avoid damaging the mechanism.

The description of the combination switch positions is shown in Illustrations 5.2a-b. To open the hatch cover (lift its back edge), press the switch in the recess towards the roof, and to lower the hatch cover, pull the ring switch down and forward. Simultaneously with the folding of the hatch cover, its curtain opens.







The anti-pinch function is designed to prevent serious consequences caused by body parts being pinched by the moving sunroof cover. If an obstacle is detected in the path of the closing lid, the closing of the hatch is automatically stopped and the lid opens. In this case, you should remove the obstruction and try to close the hatch again. To close the hatch over an obstacle, pull the rotary switch down and forward.

The comfort closing function allows you to close the sunroof with the ignition off: hold down the lock button on the key fob. To stop the sunroof from moving, release the button.

Note: The sunroof control rotary switch remains in the same position after using the comfort closing function, so the switch position must be reselected before starting the next trip.

If the electric drive is faulty or the battery is discharged, the top hatch can be closed manually. To do this, use a screwdriver to pry up the back side of the cover (1 in illustration 5.3) and fold it down, then insert a 4 mm Allen key into the hole (2) and rotate it.



After each emergency activation the hatch must be initialized. Initialization is also required after disconnecting the battery. If the panoramic sunroof or sunshade is not fully closed when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first close only the panoramic sunroof or only the sunshade (see paragraph above), and only after this can initialization be performed. To initialize the sunroof drive, pull the switch down and forward and hold it for about 10 seconds. To initialize the sunshade, press the switch (F in illustration 5.2b) and hold it down for about 10 seconds.
