illuminated (lamp removed from the holder).
If the lamp is in the holder, it is automatically switched on when the tailgate is
opened and switched off again when the tailgate is closed.
The lamp is supplied by three rechargeable type AAA batteries. The rechargea-
ble batteries are constantly charged when the engine is running. It takes ap-
prox. 3 hours to fully charge the rechargeable batteries.
The lamp is fitted with magnets. Therefore it is possible to attach the lamp, for example on the vehicle body, after removing it.
CAUTION
The removable lamp is not watertight and must therefore be protected against
moisture.
Note
■ If the lamp is not correctly inserted into the holder, it does not light up when
the boot lid is opened and the rechargeable batteries are not charged.■
If the lamp is not switched off and it is correctly inserted in the holder, the
bulbs in the front part

The belt locks and the belts must be in their original position after folding
back the seat cushions and backrests - they must be ready to use.
■
The seat backrests must be securely locked in position so that no objects
in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment on
sudden braking – risk of injury.
■
Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. Only then can
the seat belt for the middle seat reliably fulfil its function.

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

Perform the assembly and disassembly according to the enclosed instructions.
CAUTION
Observe the information regarding the assembly and disassembly in the en-

Roof load
Read and observe
and on page 106 first.
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
loaded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions.

Operational problemsRead and observe
and on page 108 first.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5
°C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
› One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 215 .
› The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because
the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 29.
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning system)
 Introduction

Control elements
110

Recirculated air mode

The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 110.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to
provide cooling at a high load of the engine.
CAUTION
Lengthy 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.Note■ We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a spe-
cialist garage once every year.■
During operation of the air conditioning, an increase in engine idle speed may
occur under certain circumstances in order to ensure sufficient heating com-
fort.

After pressing, an indicator light in the top right or left corner of the button
 lights up, depending on which mode was last selected.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button  lights up, the Cli-

The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the Climatronic.
When pressing  the button again, the Climatronic switches to “LOW”-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses on-
ly 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
conditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button  again, it is changed to “HIGH”-mode.
