2006 SKODA OCTAVIA buttons

Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable ef-
fect on the Climatronic. ÐAutomatic 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 on
› Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26
℃.
› Move the air outlet vents

right or left corner lights up, depending on which mode was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button AUTO 8
» Fig. 90
on
page 85

lights up, the Climatronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is
the standard setting of the Climatronic.
When pressing again the button AUTO , the Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air con-
ditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button AUTO again, it is changed to “HIGH” mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated. ÐSwitching the cooling system on and off

, the air conditioning system is switch-
ed off. The warning light in the button goes out. Only the function of the venti-
lation remains active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature
can be reached. Ð Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately.
› The temperature for both sides can be set with the control dial 7

on page
85. The warning light in the button DUAL 12
» Fig. 90
on
page 85
lights up, this indicates that differing temperatures for the left and
right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button DUAL 12
»
Fig. 90
on page 85 is illuminated, the
temperature for both sides cannot be set with the control dial 7
» Fig. 90
on
page 85. You can reactivate this function by pressing the button DUAL 12
. The
warning light in the button goes out.
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range. If a temperature lower than
+18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If a
temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start of
the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this
case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold. Ð Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode largely prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle get-
ting into the vehicle, for example, when driving through a tunnel or when stand-
ing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is rec-
ognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is
switched on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the
concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribution con-
trol is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle
interior. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and
then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is
switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the
drawn in air. £

Note
■ If a suitable adapter is available for your mobile phone, only use your mobile
phone in the adapter inserted in the telephone mount so that the radiation in the
vehicle drops to a minimum. ■ Placing the mobile phone in the adapter inserted in the telephone mount en-
sures optimum sending and receiving power. ÐInserting the mobile phone and adapter
Fig. 106
Universal telephone preinstalla-
tion
Only one telephone mount is factory-fitted. An adapter for the mobile phone can
be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Inserting the adapter and mobile phone › First of all push the adapter A
in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 106 up to the
stop into the mount. Then press the adapter slightly downwards, until it locks
securely into position.
› Insert the mobile phone into the adapter A
(as specified in the instructions
from the manufacturer of the adapter).
Removing the adapter and mobile phone
› Simultaneously press the locks on the mount
» Fig. 106 and remove the adapter
with the mobile phone. CAUTION
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup-
tion of the connection. When removing the mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, which reduces the quality of the transmit-
ting and receiving signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also inter-
rupted. Ð Managing telephone calls with the help of the adapter

The universal telephone preinstallation makes it possible to play back music via
Bluetooth ®
from devices such as MP3 players, mobile phones or notebooks.
To ensure the music can be played back via Bluetooth ®
, it is necessary to connect
the terminal device with the hands-free system in the menu Phone - Bluetooth -
Media player. The music playback process is performed on the connected device.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II ensures that the music played back
via the hands-free system can be controlled with the remote control » page 117,
Voice commands - GSM II . Note
The device being connected must support the Bluetooth ®
A2DP profile; refer to
the operating instructions for the relevant device being connected. ÐOperating the radio and navigation system on the multifunction steering wheel
