Please note that in ECON mode, the desired interior temperature
cannot be lower that the ambient temperature.
The combination ECON mode with air recirculation is only possible
if button
12is pressed first and then the ECON button.
Pressing buttons
10, 11or 12will switch off the ECON mode.
The entire system can switched off with button
14(OFF). Press and

• 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 inside temperature for the rear seats may be selected with
switches
21and 22, and will be memorised until another
temperature is selected. When this is done, bear in mind the
following:
When choosing the temperature for the front seats (position
7)
and for the rear seats (position 9), the maximum difference
between the two may not exceed 3°C.
When the Climatronicdetects the need to heat the inside, it also
activates the additionalh he

the floor vents.
When the Climatronicdetects the need to cool the interior, it
directsc co

air to the rear seats through the ceiling vents.
• Buttons
19and 20are used to switch off the blowers for the rear
seats and to increase or reduce the air flow. This will be shown at
position 8 by a series of lines which will increase or decrease as
you press

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.

To apply the handbrake pull lever up firmly. On hills the 1st gear or
with automaticgearbox the parking lock should also be engaged.
The handbrake should always be applied so firmly that it is not
possible to drive inadvertently with the handbrake on.
When handbrake is applied with the ignition on, the brake warning
lamp comes on.
To release handbrake, pull lever up slightly, press locking knob
(arrow) in and push lever right down.

Specifications
The engine comes with a special, high quality, multi grade oil that
can be used in all seasons of the year except for those regions
affected by extreme cold.
As the use of high quality oil is essential for the correct operation
of the engine and its long useful life, when topping up or
replacement is necessary use only those oils that conform to the
requirements of the VW standards.
If it is not possible to find oil conforming to the VW standards then
oil conforming to the ACEA or API standards with an appropriate
viscosity at atmospheric temperature should be used instead. The
use of this type of oil may have some repercussions on the
performance of the engine for example, long starting time,
increased consumption and a higher emission level.
If a top up is required then different oils may be mixed as long as
they all conform to the VW standards.
The specifications (VW standards) set out in the following page
should appear on the container of the service oil; the container will
display together the different standards for petrol and diesel
engines, the oil can be used for both types of engines.

The viscosity class is selected according to the diagram above. If
atmospheric temperature falls outside of the described limits for
only a short period then an oil change is not necessary.
