It is because the gear is not in P position and the key is not turned to the OFF position. Check the steering wheel: Whether the steering wheel is in a locked state. The solution is simple: just turn the steering wheel hard while turning the key, and generally the steering wheel lock can be released quickly, and ignition can be done in an instant. Check the gear: Whether the gear was not returned to P position when parking. Imagine if the vehicle could be started in D or R gear, the sudden movement of the vehicle at the moment of ignition would undoubtedly be a huge safety hazard. Therefore, for automatic transmission vehicles (AT, CVT, AMT), manufacturers preset this mode and repeatedly emphasize in the manual: ensure the gear is in P position when igniting.

How to Clear the Yellow Engine Light on a Skoda?

When there are no obvious abnormalities in the engine's operation, you can try restarting the engine to clear the fault light. If you are certain there are no issues with the engine's operation, you can attempt to clear the fault code by disconnecting the power or removing the fuse. Another common cause of the fault light is a malfunction in the front or rear oxygen sensors. Checking these components usually resolves the issue. For more severe faults, such as the vehicle breaking down, it is necessary to visit a 4S shop to diagnose and repair the engine fault using the fault code.

How to Remove and Install a Skoda Steering Wheel?

The steering wheel is quite easy to remove. Use a mirror to look at the back of the steering wheel, press down with a small screwdriver, and the airbag clips will pop out on their own. The three clips can be removed in seconds. Pay attention to the airbag wiring harness. First, pull the white lock outward, then pinch the yellow connector and pull it outward with force. After removing the airbag, you'll see the V-shaped metal rod—the airbag clips are fastened onto it. For the original car's airbag wiring harness, remove one and replace one to avoid mistakes. To remove the steering wheel, use an M12 spline. Hold the wheel with your left hand and apply slight force with your right hand, and it will come off.

The fan not rotating may be due to insufficient water temperature. You can turn on the air conditioning to check. If it still doesn't rotate, check the fuse. Check the fuse located next to the battery, the third fuse (locking a row of wires), or check the 10A fuse plugged in above. Check if the fan wiring plug is loose or if the circuit is disconnected, and whether the temperature control switch is functioning properly.

Where is the headlight washer switch on the Skoda Superb?

The headlight washer system refers to a water outlet located below the headlights that can clean dust and dirt from the headlights. Generally, higher-end models are equipped with this feature. During nighttime or low-light driving conditions, rain and dust can reduce the illumination of the headlights by up to 90%, severely affecting the driver's visibility.
