Assigning remote control to the memory buttons
After storing the settings of the seat and exterior mirrors, you
have 10 seconds in order to assign the remote control to the
appropriate memory button.
– Withdraw the ignition key.
– Press the button for unlocking the vehicle ⇒page 52. The
setting is stored with the memory button which you have
selected.
If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the
memory by also using the remote control, you have to assign the remote
control to a memory button in each case.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional key with radio remote control
from a Škoda dealer and then assign the radio remote control to another
memory button.
Note
•If the remote control had previously been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
•If you assign the remote control to a memory button which has already
been assigned to a remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by
a new assignment in this case.
•The assignment of the remote control to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
Retrieving settings of the seat and mirrors
You can retrieve the stored settings either with the
memory buttons or with the remote control*.
Retrieving settings with memory buttons
– In order to retrieve the stored setting, you have two possibili- ties:
– One-touch automatic memory: Briefly press the desired
memory button ⇒ page 85, fig. 62. The seat and exterior
mirror are moved automatically into the stored positions (this
applies only if the ignition is switched on and the speed is less
than 5 km/h).
– Memory keying : Press and hold the desired memory button
pressed long enough until the seat and the exterior mirror
are moved into the stored positions.
Retrieving settings with remote control
– If the driver door is closed and the ignition is switched off, briefly press the unlock button of the remote control ⇒page 52
and then open the driver door.
– The seat and exterior mirrors now move automatically into the stored positions.
Retrieving setting of ext erior mirror for reversing*
– Turn the rotary knob for the exterior mirror setting into the position
 ⇒ page 80 before engaging the reverse gear.

Heating and air conditioning system 129
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves
in order to ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order
to provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
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 quite normal and not an indication of a leak!
Recommended setting for all periods of the year:
•Set the temperature to 22 °C (72 °F).
•Press the button ⇒page 130, fig. 122 .
•Move the air outlet vents 3 and 4 so that the air flow is directed slightly
upwards ⇒page 133, fig. 123 .
Switching over between degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit
Press and hold the buttons and ⇒page 130, fig. 122 . The
information in the desired temperature measuring unit appears in the
display.
WARNING
•For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all
the windows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize
yourself about how to correctly operate the heating and ventilation
systems, how to demist and defrost the windows, as well as with
the cooling mode.
•You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer
period of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and
passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to
mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch recircu-
lated air mode off as soon as the windows begin misting up.
Note
•If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period,
odours may be produced at the evaporator because of deposits. Switch
the cooling system on at least once a month for approximately 5 minutes
at the highest blower stage - also during the cold season of the year - in
order to remove such odours. Also open a window for a short time.
•We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recir-
culating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evap-
orator from the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of
the air conditioning system. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through
considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
•The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the
luggage compartment.
•The Information of the Climatronic is displayed on the display of the
radio*. You can also switch off this function - see operating instructions for
radio
•Using the cooling economically ⇒page 127.

Note
The interior temperature sensor is located in the centre of the control dial
for blower speed . Do not glue or cover over the sensor, otherwise it
could have an unfavourable effect on the Climatronic.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a
constant temperature and to demist the windows in the
interior of the car.
Switching automatic mode on
– Set a temperature between +16 °C (60 °F) and +29,5 °C (85 °F).
– Move the air outlet vents 2 and 3 ⇒ page 133, fig. 123 so that
the air flow is directed slightly upwards.

Close air outlet vents
– Turn the vertical thumbwheel into the end position.
Redirecting air flow
– Swivel upward or downward the gril le of the vents in order to
change the direction of the air flow using the vertically
arranged thumbwheel.
– Turn the horizontal thumbwheel on the vent to the right or left in order to change the air flow to the appropriate side.
You can control the air distribution to the air outlet vents via the buttons of
the operating part of the Climatronic ⇒page 130. Air outlet vents 3, 4
⇒ page 133, fig. 123 and 6 ⇒ page 133, fig. 124 can also be opened or
closed individually.
The air outlet vents 6 are only fitted on vehicles with higher centre
console.
Note
The air outlet vents 2 ensure in the ventilation and cooling mode for a
comfortable (no-draught) ventilation of the interior of the vehicle, also if the
air outlet vents 4 are closed.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and
ventilation)*
Description
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
heats or supplies the interior of the vehicle with fresh air
independent of the engine.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating )
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the
heater or with the Climatic or Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when engine is switched off for preheating
of the vehicle as well as while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the
engine).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) warms up the coolant during the
combustion of fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant warms up the air,
which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the occupant
compartment.
6)
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior
by switching on the blower, if the blower speed is not set to zero, whereby
the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with a vehicle
parked in the sun).
6)However the coolant does not warm up the engine.
