Class N1 vehicles
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 81.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening the
load.
Proper functioning of the electrical installation is essential for safe vehicle opera- tion. It is important to ensure that the electrical installation is not damaged dur-
ing the adjustment process or when the storage area is being loaded and unloa-
ded.

Roof rack system
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Roof load
90WARNING■ The transported items on the roof rack must be securely attached – risk of
accident!■
Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
tensioning straps.
■
Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed musttherefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total vehi-
cle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ Only roof racks from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range should be used.■When dealing with roof rack systems, the installation instructions supplied with
the roof luggage rack system must be observed.■
On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama roof
does not strike any items which are transported.
■
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.
Roof load
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 90.
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of 100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. In this case, the roof rack system must only be loa-
ded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions.

Operational problems

The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met: The cooling system is switched on.The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during the
cold season of the year.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef- fect » page 93 .
WARNING■
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting.■
Sensitive individuals may experience colds for the following reasons.
■ Long-term and non-uniform distribution of the air flow from the air outlet
nozzles (especially in the foot area).
■ Large temperature differences, such as when exiting the vehicle.
■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out
of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
■
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting up.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or leaves
to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to en-
sure that the engine cools down.
Note
■ The exhaust air streams out through vents at the rear of the luggage compart-
ment.■
We recommend that you have Climatronic cleaned by a specialist garage once
every year.

Recirculation
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 91.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, e.g. when driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and thenfed back into the interior.
Heating and air conditioning (manual air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on or off, press the Symbol key 
.
The air recirculation mode is automatically turned off by turning the air distribu-
tion control
C
to position 
» Fig. 93 on page 94 or » Fig. 94 on page 94 .
Recirculated air mode can be switched on again from this position by repeatedly
pressing the symbol button 
.
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on, press the Symbol key
 repeatedly until the
indicator light is lit on the left side of the button.
To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key
 repeat-
edly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
Climatronic has an air quality sensor for the detection of the pollutant concentra-
tion in the sucked-in air.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air
quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched on.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribu-tion control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the
vehicle interior.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air
mode in the event of an unpleasant odour, you can switch it on yourself by press-
ing the button . The indicator light lights up in the button on the left side.
To
turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recirculations ,
press the  button of press the  symbol button repeatedly until the warning
lights in the button go out.WARNINGNever leave recirculated air mode switched on over a longer period of time, as
“stale air” can cause driver and passenger fatigue, 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.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the evap-orator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air con-
ditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature is
higher than approx. 2 °C.
