Heating and air conditioning system
96
Please note that, in the ECON mode, the interior temperature cannot be lower than
the outside temperature. The interior is not cooled and the air is not dehumidified.
If you select the temperature below +18 °C (64 °F), LO appears in the display. If you
select a temperature higher than + 29 °C (86 °F), HI appears in the display. In the
position LO the recirculated air is not warmed up. In the HI position, the system
operates continuously with maximum heating capacity.
Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode ⇒page 96.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press button , the symbol
lights up on the display.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Once again press the button or the button , the symbol
goes out on the display.
WARNING
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 acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
If the windscreen is misted up, first of all press the button and then the
button . After the windscreen has been demisted, once again press the button
.
Setting temperature
– Press the button or ⇒page 94, fig. 109 and continue pressing
until the desired temperature is set.
You can set the interior temperature betw een +18°C (64°F) and +29°C (86°F). The
interior temperature is regulated automatically within this range. If you select the
temperature below 18°C (64°F), “LO” appear s in the display. If you select the
temperature higher than 29 °C (86 °F), “HI” appears in the display. In both limit posi-
tions the Climatronic operates at maximu m cooling or heating capacity, respec-
tively. The temperature is no t controlled in this case.
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.
Controlling blower
There are a total of seven blower stages available.
The Climatronic system controls the bl ower stages automatically in line
with the interior temperature. You can also, however, adapt the blower
stages manually to suit your particular needs.
Setting blower stages
– Press the button or the button to set the blower stage.
The number of dashes in the display ⇒page 94, fig. 109 indicates the blower
stage.

Fuses and light bulbs

The power windows and the power seats are protected by automatic circuit
breakers which switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the over-
load has been eliminated - e.g. frozen windows.
Bulbs
Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switch ed off before a light bulb is replaced.
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest amount of
dirt reduces the working life of the light bu lb). Use a clean cloth, serviette or some-
thing similar. Defect light bulbs should only be replaced
with light bulbs of the same type. The
designation is located on the li ght socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something wh ich you can do yourself, but requires to
be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be removed in order to
change the light bulbs. This applies, in particular, to bulbs which can only be
reached from the engine compartment.
We therefore recommend that you have any bulbs changed by a Škoda Service
Partner or, in exceptional cases, by ca lling on other professional assistance.
Please note that the engine compartment is a hazardous area ⇒page 185,
“Working in the engine compartment”.
We recommend that you carry the set of light bulbs with you which was delivered
in your vehicle. Replacement light bulbs
7) are available at specialist garages.
Fitted with a xenon headlight
Change of light bulbs on Xenon lights (low beam lights, parking lights and main
beam lights) should be undertaken by a specialist garage.
