 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 heater heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning sys-

tem also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.

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

Make sure that the panoramic tilt / slide sunroof or the boot lid does not col-

and windows.

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.

■

The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or

leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.

After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air

conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a

If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to

ensure that the engine cools down.

Note

In order to ensure adequate warmth and comfort, the operation of the air con-

ditioning may lead to an increase in the engine idle speed.

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.

Climatronic.

To turn off move the slider

into position  or press the button  in Cli-

matronic.

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).

To open, press on the outer edge of the slat in area

» Fig. 91.

›

To close, move the slats back to their original position.

To change the air flow, turn the slats in the desired direction.

Depending on the setting for air distribution, the air will flow from the follow-

ing air vents.
