Depending on the position of air distribution control
C, the air will
flow from one vent or another.
The air temperature will depend on the position of rotary knob
A.
Furthermore, vents
3and 4can be closed or opened individually
and the air flow can be oriented as necessary.
Closed vent: control in vertical position.
Open vent: control in horizontal position.
The air flow can be oriented as you wish by swiveling the vent with
the control.D De

•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.

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.

By pressing the key, the system directs the air towards the
grid of the windshield and the side windows (
1, 2).
When pressing this key, the system understands that the
windshield is fogged up/frozen and, therefore, it becomes a
priority to execute said operation. It will deactivate the air
recirculation mode, should it be activated, it will increase fan
speed and deactivate ECON mode, should it be activated.

By pressing this key the air conditioning compressor is
disconnected.
The word "ECON" is displayed.
When the compressor is deactivated, the fuel consumption
decreases.
When this function is activated, the Climatronic manages the
interior temperature regulation without the air conditioner.
If the selected temperature is lower than the outside temperature,
the selected temperature will not be reached.
Depending on the exterior climate conditions (low outside
temperature and low humidity), it is not necessary to switch on the
air conditioner since you can activate the ECON mode.
In vehicles fitted with additional heating*, this function is
deactivated.R Re

By pressing this key, the air recirculation mode is activated.
With this function the entry of air from outside is closed. If a fan
speed has been selected, the air is drawn from the interior instead
of from outside, thus allowing for the air to recirculate. This way,
the entry of bad odors, smoke and dust can be momentarily
avoided.
It is not advisable to use recirculation for an extended period of
time since the air in the cabin is not replaced and would, therefore,
become very stale and dry.
The recirculation symbol is displayed if this mode is activated.
