•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
Afor 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.

Fully to the right (red point) – more heat, no temperature
regulation.
To the left – less heat, if the
Ebutton is engaged, the system
delivers full air conditioning power, without temperature
regulation.
Between the two positions the system can regulate different
temperatures, depending on your selection.
In vehicles fitted with an additional heating system*, turn to the
red point to activate the system.
If the temperature selected is lower than the temperature outside,

The air flow can be set at four different speeds. In the 0position,
the fan is switched off. If this position is used for a long time, the

To activate this function press the button. When function is
activated the orange warning lamp will light up.
With this function air inlets from the outside are closed. If a fan
speed has been selected, the air is drawn in from the cabin instead
of from the outside allowing for air recirculation. This way the entry
of bad odors, smoke and dust can be avoided. You can also heat or
cool the cabin air faster by having the air recirculate.

•Disconnect air recirculation mode and A AC
C(ButtonsDand E).
•Rotary control
Ccan be set as you wish.K
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.
K
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
Aand Ccan by adjusted to any intermediate
position.
•When driving at low speed it is advisable to set a low fan speed
and to set switch
Cto 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 offand
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.

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.
