My early 2020 (last of the Octavia III) Scout's headlights switch, in addition to the two pull-out settings (front fog lamps, front and rear fog lamps), and the neutral/fog-lamps-off position, seems to have a sprung push-in position. That is, from fog-lamps-off it is possible to push the switch farther in, against spring tension that returns it to the fog-lamps-off position.

Does this actually do anything?

I don't find it in the manual nor searching here nor generally searching on the Internet.

thanks,

It is probably part of the procedure for removing the light switch.

Certainly is on earlier models; push and twist, can't remember which direction.

Yup,

On a mk 1 you moved the switch to the dipped beam position (12 o clock) then push in and twist clockwise until it stops. Then pull out to remove the switch assembly.

Can’t see the basics of the switch type having changed much..

As mentioned above this is part of the procedure to remove the switch. Other than that it doesn’t provide any functionality to the lights 👍

Thanks, everyone!
