trust me, you'll know if it works.
Go out at night, get someone on your tail. Hit the on off button on the mirror and compare the difference.
When it kicks in, its subtle but very effective. Sometimes i have wondered if it is working.... till i turn it off and see what the mirror is really seeing.

shake it!

?? I do find these comments about gear changes funny.
We;'ve been driving for decades and decades. I personally have been driving for 20 years, and in my job do a hell of a lot of miles per year. I have NEVER had a sore arm from gear changes..
How on earth did we cope before DSG??
-
I dont think I have that option on my maxidot?
-
170 CR here, with 1000 miles. Average since getting car is about 45 mpg, mix of a roads and motorway drives.
-
Yep - 170 SE here, and the fogs come on on reverse
-
jcblincs - sorry - I haven't taken pics of my car as yet, but I can assure you, that it is NOT "not much different to black as you say". When mine arrived, it struck me as being much lighter than I expected. Mine is covered in salt spray from roads, and doesn't look to dirty.
I also suggested on other post that it looked similar to your own car in the photos you took pre-delivery with your mobile. I accept its darker than yours, but nowhere near black... and I own one!
-
very nice - is it anthracite or steel - looks identical to my anthracite model. Mine with black interior also though.
600 odd miles on mine now, and just done its first motorway run - unsurprisingly, that's where it excels - I found it a joy to drive, quiet, and very comfortable.
Question though - anyone else finding that with aircon on "auto" the windscreen fogs up a little, requiring a switch to manual setting directing flow to the windows.
In previous cars I've had with auto climate control, the standard, "auto" setting once the car was to the desired temperature was to direct the flow to the windscreen. Clearly not the case on the Superb
-
well, mine was a fleet purchase!
Since getting mine, two days before christmas, I've seen 3 others in my town!
-
that's odd, by brand new Superb was delivered with Dunlops (yuk!)
-
sorry -been away - will get pics sorted.
Re an earlier post - the setup options only allow dimming of the Bolero display, not turning it off - it bothers me.
Otherwise - about 300 on the clock now, and I love it. Heated seats are the best I've ever had.
-
"Awfully quiet"? Doesn't "awfully" usually preceed a complaint? You're not complaining about the lack of noise, are you, Paul?
Ray
heh heh - no - nice and quiet would have been a better turn of phrase
-
Look out when I refuel it? Why?
To update - was intrigued by the interior light thing - dark now, and just been out to it. The dimmer dial takes my dash down to a more than acceptable level of light. Full on is way way too bright. Full low is nice on the dials, but heater controls, etc are too low - got mine set about 1/4 way up.
Still annoyed I can't blank the bolero screen.
also - the catseyes lights in the roof - I thought they were supposed to be red - mine are whiteish blue.
-
I've been looking at comments on the dash lights, but not been dark enough to test how low they go. The dial does dim them, but will check on drive home tonight whether it's dimming enough.
What is the current consensus? Is this fixable or not - I'll be peeved if I've got a bright dash, as I like a dim car at night. Already bothered I can't turn the bolero screen off.
-
back to the kph display - I think it's because if you look at the dial - there is no kph on there in smaller font like you normally see. you would need this if you took car abroad, but yes I agree -seems useless in the uk, and wasn't aware it was a legal requirement.
-
Just took it for a short spin - it drives nicely, and is awfully quiet. Quick too. Much bigger than I remember it - hope it fits on the drive!
-
Just got my SE - didn't go for any phone kit, and have the Bolero unit - but I do have an option in those settings to turn bluetooth on - is that just a duff menu item in settings, or can I do something with it?
-
Mine landed 19th December - delivered today, 23rd - not bad turnaround, but that took a lot of pressure from the purchasing people
-
Panic on aerial over - it was in the boot (??) just loose. Thanks Skoda!
Do like it though, and like the colour, though darker than I expected, but looks classy.
-
Nah - it was delivered from Falkirk by Car Carriers even though I'm in Shropshire (go figure - the delights of getting your car from a Company Lease Hire firm) - didn't spot it until driver had gone - so will try local dealer at lunchtime.
-
Arrived 9am this morning - Superb SE with 170 CR manual diesel - anthracite grey, and some extra toys.
Just spotted that the roof aerial is missing (not screwed in) - so off to local dealer today to see if I can grab one
Should I be running this in carefully or is it good to go?
-
Can only vouch for the 17's, having test driven a couple of engines on those - both were great, quiet, comfortable rides. Mine coming next week - with 17's
-
non sensicle?

The little white pointer on the dial in front of you - you won't realise how quick you are effortlessly going if you don't watch for that. First you'll know is the flashing blue lights behind you (and they aren't an optional extra)
Testing the Auto Dimming Interior Mirror
in Skoda Superb Mk II (2008-2015)

I'll be honest - I think these are not all they are cracked up to be - for one very simple reason.
Whilst mine does dim, and effectively stops glare from rear view mirror, the side mirrors don't dim, so you still get the glare from those, especially when being tailgated.
