The roof luggage rack system
Description
Pay attention to the following points if you wish to transport luggage or
other items on the roof of your vehicle:
•Your car has streamlined rain channels integrated into the roof. For
this reason, it is not possible to use conventional roof racks. We therefore recommend that you only use base roof bars from the Škoda Genuine
Accessories.
•These base roof bars are the supporting elements for a complete roof
bar system. Separate additional components are required for safety
reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surfboards, skis and boats. All
these components you can obtain replacement fuses from a Škoda
Service Partner.
Caution
•If you use other roof rack systems or if the roof bars are not properly
fitted, then any damage which may result to your car is not covered by the
warranty agreements. It is therefore essential to pay attention to the fitting
instructions supplied with the roof luggage rack system.
•On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the
opened sliding/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported
on the roof.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
One should therefore take off the roof bar system after use.

Attachment points
Fitting
When fitting on the feet of the roof bars, ensure that they are positioned
exactly between the arrow markings in the sealing strip on the roof
⇒fig. 85 . The markings are visible only when the doors are open.
Roof load
Distribute weight evenly over the roof luggage rack system. The maximum
permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of 100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
You cannot make full use of the permissible roof load if you use a roof
luggage rack system with a lower load carrying capacity. The load trans-
ported on the roof luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit
which is stated in the fitting instructions.
WARNING
•The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be
reliably attached - risk of accident!
•You must on no account exceed the permissible roof load, the
permissible axle loads and the permissible gross weight of your
vehicle - risk of accident!
•Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle change
when you transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as
a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity and the
increased wind attack area - risk of accident! You must absolutely
adapt your style of driving and the speed of the vehicle to the
specific circumstances.

Heating and air conditioning system

Heating and air conditioning system
Air conditioning system
Description
The air conditioning system is a combined cooling and
heating system. It makes it possible to optimally control
the air temperature at any season of the year.
Description of the air conditioning system
It is important for your safety and for your driving comfort that the air condi-
tioning system is operating properly.
The air conditioning system operates when switch ⇒page 109,
fig. 107 is pressed and the following conditions are met:
•engine running,
•outside temperature above +5 °C,
•blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity
drops in the vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the car is enhanced
as a result of this particularly at high outside temperatures and a high air
humidity. The system prevents the windows misting up during the cold
season of the year.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full
heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating
temperature.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode in order to enhance
the cooling effect ⇒. Air at a temperature of about 5°C may flow out of the vents under certain
circumstances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven
distribution of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the leg area) and
large differences in temperature, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves
in order to ensure that the heating and ventilation systems operate prop-
erly.
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!
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off*
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh
air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode ” if the sun ray's
are sufficient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the
sliding/tilting roof deliver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the
interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 3 and 4 must be opened
⇒ page 112.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
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.

Note
•The whole heat output will be needed to unfrost the windscreen and
side windows. No warm air will be fed to the footwell. This can lead to
restriction of the heating comfort.
•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 air conditioning 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.
•Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode
⇒ page 111.
Setting air conditioning system
Recommended settings of air conditioning controls:
Defrosting the windscreen and side windows
•Turn control dial ⇒ page 109, fig. 107 to the right up to the stop,
•Blower switch in position 4,
•Turn the air distribution control into the position ,
•Close the air outlet vents 3,
•Open air outlet vents 4 ⇒ page 112, fig. 108 and point towards the
side window.
Keeping winscreen demisted
We recommend that you use the following setting in cases where the
windows are misted up more than usual (e.g. when it is raining):
•Blower switch in position 2,
•Turn the air distribution control into the position between  and ,
•Close the air outlet vents 3,
•Open air outlet vents 4 and point towards the side window,
•Switch on the cooling system by pressing button .

•Turn control dial to the right up to the stop,
•Blower switch in position 3 or 4,
•Turn the air distribution control into the position ,
•Open the air outlet vents 3 and 4,
•We recommend that you briefly switch on the recirculated air mode
with the pushbutton . The windows can steam up in this position
however.
Heating the vehicle to a comfortable temperature
We recommend the following setting once the windows are no longer
misted up and the desired temperature has been reached:
•Control dial at the desired heat output,
•Blower switch in position 1 or 2,
•Turn the air distribution control into the position ,
•Close the air outlet vents 3,
•Open the air outlet vents 4,
•Set the air distribution regulator between positions  and , if the
windscreen gets misted up again, as required.

An acoustic signal for depressed buttons
Simultaneous pressing of buttons and can be used to de-acti-
vate or activate this function.
A higher tone is heard when switching on this function, when increasing
the blower speed or when increasing the temperature.
A lower tone is heard when switching off this function, when decreasing
the blower speed or when decreasing the temperature.
Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off*
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh
air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode ” if the sun ray's
are sufficient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the
sliding/tilting roof deliver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the
interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 3 and 4 must be opened
⇒ page 118.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
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, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and
occupants, divert your attention 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 air conditioning 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).
