Memory function for exterior mirrors
On vehicles fitted with a memory function for the driver seat, the relevant setting
for the exterior mirrors is also stored automatically when the seat position is stor-
ed » page 57 . WARNING
■ Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision
field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.
■ Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles. CAUTION
Never mechanically fold in or fold back the exterior mirrors with the fold-in func-
tion  by hand as this will damage the electric drive. Note
■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the rotary knob, they can only be fol-
ded back into the driving position using the rotary knob. ■ If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control key and if the ro-
tary knob was in the fold-in position before the ignition was switched on, the mir-
rors will remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switched on.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position  to a different one.
■ Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on. ■ If the power setting function fails at any time, the exterior mirrors can be set by
hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface. ■ Contact your ŠKODA specialist garage if there is a fault with the power setting
of the exterior mirrors. ÐAutomatic dimming exterior mirror on the driver's side
The exterior mirror on the driver's side is dimmed together with the interior mir-
ror. If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically de-
pending on the light striking the mirror from the rear. When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mir-
ror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed). Note
■ Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the light striking the rear of
the interior rear-view mirror is not affected by other objects. ■ Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that they do not impair
the automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.
■ If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror dim-
ming is also switched off. Ð54
Using the system

Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable ef-
fect on the Climatronic. ÐAutomatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.
Switching on
› Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26
℃.
› Move the air outlet vents
3 and 4 » Fig. 87 on page 81 so that the air flow is
directed slightly upwards.
› Press the button
AUTO 8
» Fig. 91 on page 86
. The indicator light in the top
right or left corner lights up, depending on which mode was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button AUTO lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in

“HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of
the Climatronic.
When pressing again the button AUTO , the Climatronic changes into the “LOW”
mode and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air con-
ditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button AUTO again, it is changed to “HIGH” mode.
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated. ÐSwitching the cooling system on and off
Switching the cooling system on and off › Press the button
AC » Fig. 91 on page 86

. The indicator light lights up in the
button.
› When you again press the button
AC , the air conditioning system is switched
off. The indicator light in the button goes out. Only the function of the ventila-
tion remains active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature
can be reached. Ð Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately.
› The temperature for both sides can be set with the control dial 7
» Fig. 91 on
page 86

after switching on the ignition.
› If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial 14
.
The indicator light in the button DUAL lights up, this indicates that differing
temperatures for the left and right side can be set.
If the indicator light in the button DUAL is illuminated, the temperature for both
sides cannot be set with the control dial 7
. You can reactivate this function by
pressing the button DUAL . The indicator light in the button goes out.
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range. If a temperature lower than
+18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If a
temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start of
the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this
case.
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. Ð Recirculated air mode
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. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognized
by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is switched
on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the concentra-
tion of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribution control is au-
tomatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle interior. In
recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then fed
back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is switched on,
an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in air.

■ If the windscreen mists up, press the button  1
» Fig. 91 on page 86
. Press
the button AUTO when the windscreen is demisted.
■ The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2 °C. ÐControlling blower

System settings
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 88.
The following menu items can be selected in the menu
Aux. heating in the infor-
mation display (depending on the equipment fitted in the vehicle):
■ Day of the wk. - Set the current weekday.
■ Running time- Set the desired running time in 5
minute increments. The run-
ning time can be 10 to 60 minutes.
■ Mode - Set the desired heating/ventilation mode.
■ Starting time 1-3 - In each pre-set time, the day and the time (hour and minute)
can be set for switching on the auxiliary heating and/or ventilation. An empty
position can be found between Sunday and Monday when selecting the day. If
this empty position is selected, the activation is performed without taking into
account the day.
■ Activate - Enable pre-set mode.
■ Dectivate - Disable pre-set mode.
■ Factory setting - Restore factory setting.
■ Back - Return to main menu.
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating activates at the set time, it is necessary to pre-set a
time again.
If the pre-set menu is closed by selecting the menu item Back or if no changes
are made on the display for more than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but
the pre-set time is not activated.
An indicator light on the button  » Fig. 92 on page 89
