Driving data (multifunction display)  
Introduction  
Current Speed - Digital speedometer.  
The driving data is displayed in the multifunction display when is ignition is  
switched on.  
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,  
the engine operating temperature has been reached. If the temperature is be-  
low 70 ° C, high engine speeds and straining the engine should be avoided. If  
the temperature is over 120 ° C, the warning light lights up the instrument  
cluster » page 27.  
On vehicles with a MAXI DOT display, there is an option to fade out the units  
and some of the information » page 36, Menu item Settings

■
Do not place any sharp objects in the nets in the luggage compartment -  
there is a risk of damage to the nets.  
When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to  
the shift in centre-of-gravity. Therefore, adjust the speed and driving mode ac-  
cordingly.  
Fasteners  
When transporting cargo the following instructions must be adhered to  
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with

Fasteners  
▶
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or fixing nets so that they cannot  
slip.  
Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment as possible.  
▶
▶
Tyre pressure should be adjusted for the load.  
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic  
energy that they can cause severe injuries.  
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the  
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.

Introduction  
WARNING  
The following instructions must be observed to aid road safety when trans-  
porting cargo on the roof rack.  
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly  
with suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.  
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on

the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the  
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must  
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.  
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-  
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-  
dent!  
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat  
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.  
The cooling system works under the following conditions.  
■
The cooling system is switched on.  
The engine is running.  
The outside temperature is above 2 °C.  
The blower is switched on.  
CAUTION

lide with the roof load when opened.  
■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.  
It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly acti-  
vating the air recirculation system» page 67.  
Note  
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.  
Health protection  
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the  
use of the cooling system are to be observed.  
▶
The difference between the outside temperature and the inside temperature  
should not be greater than 5 °C.  
The cooling system should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of  
▶
the journey.  
▶
Once a year, a disinfection of the air conditioner is to be carried out by a spe-  
cialist company.  
WARNING  
■
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.  
Otherwise there is a risk of accident.  
■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow  
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.

Recirculation  
Air outlet vents  
Read and observe on page 64 first.  
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the in-  
terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of  
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.

WARNING  
The recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,  
because no fresh air is fed through from the outside. “Stale air” may result  
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also  
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as windows mist up, turn on the re-  
circulation system immediately - risk of accident!  
Fig. 91 Air outlet vents  
Read and observe on page 64 first.  
The direction of airflow can be adjusted for the air vents 3 » Fig. 91 and the  
vents can also be opened and closed individually.  
CAUTION  
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air opera-  
tion is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the  
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the  
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-  
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
