The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting up. Note
If the air distribution is positioned towards the windows, the total amount of air is
used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell. This can
lead to restriction of the heating comfort. ÐSet heating

WARNING
Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale”
air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, reduce attention levels and
also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up. Ð Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning
system) Introductory information
The cooling system only operates if the button AC 1
» Fig. 90 on page 84

is
pressed, and the following conditions are met:
› engine running;
› outside temperature above approx. +2 °C;
› blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on. Lengthy and uneven distribu-
tion of the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for ex-
ample when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons. Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a ŠKODA
specialist garage once every year. Ð

Heating and air conditioning system

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning system)
Introductory information
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the air flow, the blower
stages and air distribution. The system also takes sunlight into account, which
eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic
mode » page 87 ensures maximum well-being of the occupants at all times of
the year.
Description of Climatronic system
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met:
› engine running;
› outside temperature above approx. +2 °C;
› AC 13
» Fig. 91 on page 86
switched on.
The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Recommended setting for all periods of the year.
› Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C.
› Press the button

› Move the air outlet vents

■ We recommend that you have the Climatronic system cleaned by a
ŠKODA spe-
cialist garage once every year. ■ On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the
Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be
switched off, see operating instructions for the radio or navigation system. Ð Overview of the control elements

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

. 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

. 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.

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

interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adapted to
suit your particular needs.

Auxiliary heating (parking heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-con-
ditioning system or Climatronic.
It can be used when stationary, when the engine is switched off to preheat the
vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine). £
