Heating and air conditioning system
106WARNING
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 battery 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 (auxiliary 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 to the right
page 97, fig. 101 ). 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. 104 .
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.

Fuse cover in engine compartmentOn some vehicles, the battery cover must be removed before removing the fuse cover
page 210.Removing fuse cover– Move the circlips fig. 185 as far as the stop, the symbol
appears behind the
circlip and remove the cover.
Installing fuse cover– Position the fuse cover on the fuse box and push the circlips as far as the stop -
the symbol
is visible behind the circlip.
Caution
When unlocking and locking the fuse cover, it must be pressed on the sides to the
box, otherwise damage can occur to the locking mechanism.
Carefully position the fuse cover in the engine compartment. If the cover was not
correctly positioned, water can get into the fuses and this results in a damage to the
vehicle!
Fuse assignment in engine compartmentCertain electrical components are only stan dard on certain vehicle model versions or
only suppliable as optional equipment for certain models.
