The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately or to-
gether.
For both sides›
Turn the control dial
A
» Fig. 86 on page 86 to the left or right to increase or
decrease the temperature.
The warning light in the button DUAL
goes out.

. This function can be restored by
pressing the button DUAL. The warning light in the button goes out.
The interior temperature can be set between +16 ℃ and +29 ℃. The interior tem-

If a temperature lower than +16 ℃ is selected, a blue symbol lights up on the con-
trol dial.
If a temperature higher than +29 ℃ is selected, a red symbol lights up on the con-
trol dial.
At both end positions, Climatronic runs at maximum cooling/heating output and
the temperature is automatically not regulated.
CAUTION
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.
Automatic 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. 

Communication
Introductory information
For more information about controlling hands-free equipment, multimedia, Navi-
gation, etc. see » operating instructions for Infotainment .
ŠKODA permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems with
a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts.
Please refer to a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibilities of instal- ling and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems that have a trans-
mission power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func- tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Use the telephone system only to
such an extent that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.
■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.
■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident
or a collision – risk of injury.
■
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth ®
function for the hands-free sys-
tem must be switched off by a specialist garage.
CAUTION■ Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation. You can ask an authorised ŠKODA Partner whether your telephone is compatible with the universal telephone pre- installation.■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted
to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be- tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobilephone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when estab-lishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring data.
Note
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a ŠKODA Partner.

Fuses
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Fuses in the dash panel
200
Fuses in the engine compartment
201
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses.
› Switch off the ignition and the appropriate consumer before changing a fuse.
› Find out which fuse belongs to the component that is not operat-
ing » page 200 , Fuses in the dash panel or » page 201 , Fuses in the engine
compartment .
› Take the plastic clip located under the cover of the fuse box in the engine com-
partment, insert into the fuse and remove it » Fig. 173 on page 201.
› A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty fuse
with a new one of the same amperage.
The plastic clip can be found underneath the cover of the fuse box in the engine
compartment » Fig. 173 on page 201.
Electrically adjustable seats are protected by automatic circuit breakers, which
switch on again automatically after a few seconds after the overload has been
eliminated.

gine compartment » page 169.
CAUTION
■
Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a ŠKODA specialist
garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.■
The cover for the fuse box in the engine compartment must always be applied
correctly. If the cover is not replaced properly, water may get into the fuse box -
risk of vehicle damage!
■
Never repair fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher amper-
age - risk of fire! A different electrical system could be damaged.
Note
■ We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of re-
placement fuses can be purchased from ŠKODA Original Accessories.■
Multiple fuses may exist for a single power consuming device.
■
Multiple power consuming devices can share a single fuse.
