Roof load
107WARNING■ 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. 
106Operation

WARNING (Continued)■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 must
therefore 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 traf-
fic conditions.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
■ Only roof racks from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range should be used.■When dealing with roof racks, the installation instructions supplied with the
roof luggage rack system must be observed.■
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof or a panoramic sliding roof,
ensure that the opened sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof does
not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.
■
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■
The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof luggage rack system
and the load that is secured to it. Compare the vehicle height with available
clearances, such as underpasses and garage doors.
■
Always remove the roof luggage rack system before entering an automated
car wash.
■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the secured load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.Attachment points

Air conditioning system
Heating, ventilation, cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Air outlets
108
Using the air conditioning system economically
109
Operational problems
110
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
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
winter months.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling
effect.
Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode for the air-con-
ditioning system » page 112 or for Climatronic » page 115.
WARNINGFor your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about
how to correctly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to de-
mist and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of 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
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
Note■ The exhaust air streams out through vents at the rear of the luggage com-
partment.■
We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating
air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from
the interior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air condition-
ing system. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning sys-
tem is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and
expense (replacement of compressor).

114Operation

CAUTIONLengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when get-
ting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculation mode - Version 1
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting in-
to 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 recognised by the air quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched off.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distri-
bution control is automatically 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 sen-
sor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in air.

Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventila-
tion), hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon  is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) 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).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-
conditioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) also warms up the engine. This is not valid
for vehicles with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting
fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant heats air flowing into the passenger
compartment (as long as the blower fan speed
