Press this button to activate the function. The orange color symbol
lights up when the function is activated.
With this function the air flow from the outside is closed. If the fan
is set at a certain speed, the air is drawn from the interior of the
vehicle instead of the outside, thus allowing for the air to
recirculate. This way you can momentarily avoid bad smells, smoke
or dust from entering. Another use of this function is to heat or cool
the vehicle’s air faster by recirculating it.

•
Since heating efficiency depends on the coolant fluid
temperature, full heating power occurs when the engine has
reached its operating temperature.
104 Climate control
•
Stale air exits outside through the boot area. For this reason, do
not obstruct air flow from the cabin to the rear part by placing
clothing on the rear shelf.
•
The pollen filter cartridges must be regularly replaced as
indicated in the Inspection and Maintenance Plan to avoid a
decrease in heating power.

Air conditioning not only decreases the temperature but also the
humidity of the vehicle’s interior. If the humidity of the outside air
is very high, the vehicle occupants will enjoy increased comfort,
even if the outside temperature is the same as the inside
temperature. The air conditioning system of this model allows you
to select a certain temperature (between 18°C and 26°C) with the
rotary knob
A
for the temperature selection. With the information
received by the different temperature sensors located in strategic
areas of the vehicle, the temperature of your choice is regulated.

Using air conditioner economically
In cooling mode the air conditioner compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. To
keep the period it is switched on as short as possible, the
following points should be noted.
•
If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended that doors and windows are
opened briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
•
The hot air conditioner should not be switched on during a
journey if the windows or sliding/tilting roof* are open.
•
The fresh air option should be selected if the desired inside
temperature can be achieved without having to turn on the cooling
system.
General notes
•
High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.
•
For the ventilation to function correctly ice, snow or leaves in
front of the air inlets, on the grid below the windshields (passenger
side, outside) must be removed.
•
Only switches
A
and
C
can by adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•
When driving at low speed it is advisable to set a low fan speed
and to set switch
C
to position to avoid fogging of the
windshields.
•
Since the efficiency of the heating system depends on the
temperature of the coolant, maximum efficiency is achieved when
the temperature reaches service temperature.
•
Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.

Operating faults
•
Should the air conditioner not work at any time, it may be due to
one of the following:
– Outside temperature below +5°C
– Blown fuse.
Check the fuse and replace it, if necessary. If the problem is not
due to a defective fuse, switch the air conditioning system off and
have it checked at a Technical Service Centre.
Cooling system compressor may appear to be temporarily
disconnected due to temperature excess of engine coolant.
•
If cooling output drops off, switch the air conditioner off and have
the system checked by a SEAT official service point.
CClliimmaattrroonniicc**
Observations
Climatronic is a combined heating and air conditioning system
which allows for an exact temperature regulation inside the
vehicle. At the same time, it also allows for decreased humidity,
thus contributing to increased comfort and safety.
Temperature regulation is completely automatic. The system keeps
the selected temperature. If necessary, this automatic regulation
can be adjusted manually.

By pressing this key the air conditioning compressor is

The word "ECON" is displayed.
When the compressor is deactivated, the fuel consumption
decreases.
When this function is activated, the Climatronic manages the
interior temperature regulation without the air conditioner.
If the selected temperature is lower than the outside temperature,
the selected temperature will not be reached.
Depending on the exterior climate conditions (low outside
temperature and low humidity), it is not necessary to switch on the
air conditioner since you can activate the ECON mode.
In vehicles fitted with additional heating*, this function is
deactivated.
RReecciirrccuullaattiioonn kkeeyy
By pressing this key, the air recirculation mode is activated.
With this function the entry of air from outside is closed. If a fan
speed has been selected, the air is drawn from the interior instead
of from outside, thus allowing for the air to recirculate. This way,
the entry of bad odors, smoke and dust can be momentarily
avoided.
It is not advisable to use recirculation for an extended period of
time since the air in the cabin is not replaced and would, therefore,
become very stale and dry.

General information
• High humidity and outside temperatures may cause
condensation and the evaporator to drip. This water is channeled
outside which can lead to the formation of puddles beneath your
vehicle. This is normal and does not indicate any leak.
• If you want the ventilation to work correctly, you should remove
the ice, the snow or the leaves which block the air inlet to the
passenger compartment situated in the vent below the windscreen
(on the passenger’s side, at the exterior).
• If the outside temperature is low, the compressor will be
automatically disconnected. With the AUTO key it will also not be
able to be connected.
• Stale air is channeled outside through the boot area. For this
reason, do not obstruct the air passage from the passenger cabin
to the rear part by placing clothing on the rear shelf.

• When the engine needs an extreme effort, the compressor will be
disconnected temporarily.
• The filter cartridge of pollen*/smells will have to be removed
regularly as established in the Inspection and Maintenance Plan.
Thus you will avoid a decrease in the system’s performance.
