• Cooled air via the vents in the roof or warmed air through the
vents in the floor to the rear (buttons
19-22) can be controlled
depending on the setting for the front (buttons11-18).• The interior temperature in the rear can be freely selected with
buttons
21and 22and remains stored until another temperature is
selected. Please note:
A difference of up to 3 °C is possible between the temperature
settings for the front (pos.

seats it isn no

General notes
• Ensure that the sensor on the air grille next to the display is not
covered up.
• To ensure that the Climatroniccan work properly, the air inlet in
front of the windscreen should be kept free of ice, snow and
leaves.
• The heat output depends on the coolant temperature – the full
heat output is therefore available when the engine is warm.
• Odours caused by a build-up of natural deposits in the vaporiser
can occur if the AUTO system has not been used for some time. The
cooling system should be turned on at fullblast at least once a
month – even during cold spells – to clear or to prevent the
odours.
• The stale air escapes through openings in the luggage
compartment side panels. Therefore when loading the luggage
compartment ensure that the openings are not covered.
• When the ambient temperature is high and the air very humid,
condensed water can drip off the evaporator and form a puddle
under the vehicle. This is quite normal and does not indicate a
leak.
• To prevent the windows from misting up the blower should be
running slowly when driving at low speeds. To do this select ECON
or AUTO.
K
Using Climatronic economically
In cooling operation the Climatronic compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. Tokeep the period 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 to open doors or windows
briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
• The compressor should not be switched on during a journey if
the windows or sliding roof* are open.
• ECON mode should be selected if the desired interior
temperature can be attained without switching on the air
conditioner.
K
Operating faults
• If all the symbols in the display area flash for some 15 seconds
after switching the ignition on, there is a fault in the system.
Contact a Technical Service Centre.
• Should the cooling system not work at any time, either:
– the ambient temperature is below about +5 °C,
– the Climatronic compressor has switched off due to coolant
temperature being too high.
– or the fuses have blown.
Check the fuse and if necessary replace
⇒"Fuses" chapter. If the
trouble is not due to a defective fuse, have Climatronic checked.
• If the cooling output drops off, switch the Climatronic off and
have the system checked.

Before a long trip, we recommend finding an engine oil that conforms to the
corresponding VW specifications and keeping it in the vehicle. In this way
the required oil will be available if needed.
