Exterior mirrors
59WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other objects.■Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of vi-
sion. 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.
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to operation-
al faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
WARNING■ Automatic dimming mirrors contain an electrolytic fluid which may leak
should the mirror glass break.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath apparatus.
Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not possible, at
least open the window.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately
wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. Then con- sult a doctor immediately.

58Using the system

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.
At both end positions, Climatronic runs at maximum cooling/heating output and
the temperature is automatically not regulated.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the
interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adapted to
suit your particular needs.
Automatic mode
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button 
lights up, the Clima-
tronic operates in “HIGH”-mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the
Climatronic.
Upon pressing the 
button again, the Climatronic switches to “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 condition-
ing system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button 
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.WARNING■ Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.■Switch on the Climatronic system as soon as the windows mist up.Note■Do not stick anything onto or cover the interior temperature sensor B » Fig. 95
as this could impair the functioning of the Climatronic.■
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 .
Note
If the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button . Press the button 
once the windscreen has demisted.
Using the air conditioning system economically
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 91.
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte-rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al-
low the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.
If the desired interior temperature can be achieved without switching the cooling
system on, then we do not recommend turning this on.
For the sake of the environment
Pollutant emissions are also reduced when fuel is saved » page 130, Economical
driving and environmental sustainability .

Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 100.
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 ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating mobile phones
and two-way radio systems that have a transmission 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 possible reasons for this are: › No external aerial.
› External aerial incorrectly installed.
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
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 any area
where it can become a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision — risk of injury.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.

Phone PhonebookFirst read and observe the introductory information given on page 100.
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook can
be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
After the telephone's first connection to the hands-free system, the phone bookfrom the phone and the SIM card loads into the hands-free memory.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-freesystem, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this period, the available phone book is the one stored
at the previous update. Newly stored telephone numbers are only shown after the updating has ended.
The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call,
voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
GSM II
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact can contain up to 4 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 200 tel-
ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete.
