Closing air inlet– Push the lock as far as the stop downwards. On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air. At open air supply, air flows into the storage with a temperature which is as high as the one out of the air outlet nozzles, depending on temperature setting. The air inlet in the storage compar
tment is connected to position
 through adjust-
ment of the control dial for air distribution. This position causes the maximum amount of air to flow into the storage compartmen
t (depending on the rotary regulator posi-
tion for the fan). You can use the storage compartment, for
example, to temper drinks cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the end cover should always be kept closed.

WARNING
•
The auxiliary heating must never be op
erated in closed rooms - risk of
poisoning!•
The auxiliary heating must not be runn
ing during refueling - risk of fire.
•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of the
vehicle. Therefore do not place the vehicl
e, if you wish to operate the auxiliary
heating, in such a way that the exhaust
gases of the auxiliary heating can come
easily into contact with inflammable materi
als (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflam-
mable substances (e.g. fuel run out).
Note
If the auxiliary heating runs, the fuel co
nsumption comes from the vehicle tank. The
auxiliary heating automatically controls the filling level in the fuel tank. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel tank, the function of the auxiliary heating is blocked.•
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of the
vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.•
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is
running, the vehicle ba
ttery discharges. If
the auxiliary heating and ventilation has be
en operated several times over a longer
period, the vehicle must be driven a few ki
lometers in order to recharge the vehicle
battery.•
The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.•
At low outside temperatures, this can result
in a formation of water vapour in the
area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.•
After switching off the auxiliary heating,
the coolant pump runs for a short period.
•
The auxiliary heating and ventilation does no
t switch on or comes on, if the vehicle
battery indicates a low loading state.•
The auxiliary heating (auxilia
ry heating) does not switch on, if the following was
shown in the information display or before switching off the ignition:
Please refuel!.
.
•
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must
be free of ice, snow or leaves in order
to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.
•
So that warm air can flow in
to the vehicle after switching on the auxiliary heating,
you must maintain the temperature normally selected by you (we recommend 22°C for Climatic, Climatronic and for the heat
ing turn the regulator A to the right
⇒ page 96, fig. 108
). It is recommended to put the air flow in the position
.
•
On vehicles with DPF (diesel particle filt
er) the warm coolant heats up the engine.
Direct switching on/offThe auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and vent
ilation) can be switched on or off at any
time
directly
using the button on the operating part of the Climatic, Climatronic or
heating
⇒fig. 111
.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is not
switched off earlier, it switches off auto-
matically after the expiration of the set operating period, in the menu
Running time
.
Note
A radio remote control for the auxiliary heating can be obtained from Škoda original accessories.

WARNING
•
You must not adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving!
•
The driver must maintain a distance of
at least 25 cm to
the steering wheel
⇒ fig. 113
. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag
system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!•
For safety reasons the lever must always be firmly pushed up to avoid the
steering wheel altering its po
sition unintentionally when driving - risk of acci-
dent!
•
If you adjust the steering wheel furthe
r towards the head, you will reduce
the protection offered by the driver airbag in the event of an accident. Check that the steering wheel is
aligned to the chest.
•
When driving, hold the steering wheel
with both hands firmly on the outer
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock po
sition. Never hold the steering wheel
firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle of the steering wheel or at the inne
r steering wheel edge). In such
cases, injuries to the
arms, the hands and the head can occur
when the driver airbag is deployed.

You should not switch on any major elec
trical components during the heating
period otherwise
the vehicle battery will
be drained unnecessarily.
- start engine Applies to all models: Position

To lock the steering
, with the ignition key withdrawn, turn the steering wheel until the
steering locking pin is heard to
engage. You should always lock the steering as a general
rule if you leave your vehicle. This acts as
a deterrent against possible theft of your
vehicle
⇒
.
Position

Move the steering wheel back and forward a little if the ignition key cannot, or cannot easily be turned into this position, in order to release the steering lock. Position

The engine is started in this position. At the same time, major electrical components are switched off for short periods. The igni
tion key moves back into position when
one releases the key. The ignition key must be turned back into
position each time before starting the
engine again. The starter repeat lock in th
e ignition lock prevents the starter being
engaged when the engine is r
unning and thus getting damaged.
Ignition key withdrawal lock (automatic gearbox) You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector lever is in position
P.
WARNING
•
When driving, the ignition key must always be in the position (ignition
switched on) without the engine running. This position is indicated by the warning lights coming on. If this is not the case, it could result in unexpected locking of the steering wh
eel - risk of accident!
•
Only remove the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has
come to a standstill (by applying the handbrake or moving the selector lever into the position P). The
steering lock can engage imme
diately - risk of acci-
dent!
•
Always withdraw the ignition key if yo
u are going to leave the vehicle, even
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle. The children might otherwise start the engi
ne or switch on el
ectrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) - risk of accident or injury!Starting the engineGeneral You can only start the engine only using an original ignition key.•
Place the gearshift lever into neutral (or
place the selector lever to the position
P or
N in the case of an automatic gearbox) and put on the handbrake firmly before starting the engine.•
The clutch pedal should be fully depressed when starting the engine - the starter
then only has to crank the engine.•
Let go of the key as soon as the engine starts otherwise there may be damage to
the starter. The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time after starting the cold engine until oil pressure can be
built up in the hydraulic valve clearance
compensation. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem. If the engine does not start ... You can use the battery of anothe
r vehicle as a jump-start aid
⇒page 229.
It is only possible to tow-start vehicles fi
tted with a manual gearbox. The tow-starting
distance must not be more than 50 metres
⇒page 231.
WARNING
•
Never run the engine in non ventilated
or enclosed areas. The exhaust gases
of the engine contain besides the odorless and colourless carbon monoxide a poisonous gas - hazard! Carbon mono
xide can cause unconsciousness and
death.
