2016 SKODA CITIGO Blower

WARNING (Continued)■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.■
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
■ Make sure that the panoramic tilt / slide sunroof or the boot lid does not col-
lide with the roof load when opened.■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.
Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.Heating and ventilation

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Heating and manual air conditioning
72
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
73
Climatronic - automatic operation

recirculation

Air outlet vents
74
The heater heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning sys-
tem also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
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 works under the following conditions. The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above 2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
When the cooling system is switched on, it prevents misting of the windscreen
and windows.
It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly acti-
vating the air recirculation system » page 73.
Health protection
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed. ▶ The difference between the outside temperature and the inside temperature
should not be greater than 5 °C.
▶ The cooling system should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶ Once a year, a disinfection of the air conditioner is to be carried out by a spe-
cialist company. 
71Heating and ventilation

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there is a risk of accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ 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
conditioning 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
ensure that the engine cools down.

After pressing the button  the indicator light on the button lights up, even if
not all the conditions for the cooling system have been met. The cooling sys-
tem starts to work as soon as the following conditions have been met
» page 71 .
Note
In order to ensure adequate warmth and comfort, the operation of the air con-
ditioning may lead to an increase in the engine idle speed.ABCD72Using the system

Switching the cooling system on/off
After the cooling system is switched off, only the ventilation function remains
active whereby the minimum temperature that can be reached is the outside
temperature.
Setting temperature
In the range between 16 °C to 29 °C, an automatic temperature control takes
place.
At a temperature setting below 16 ° C, 
lights up in the temperature display,
the Climatronic functions with maximum cooling performance .
At a temperature setting above 29 °C,  lights up in the temperature display,
the Climatronic functions with maximum heating output.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor 11 » Fig. 88 - the function of the
Climatronic could be affected.
Note
In order to ensure adequate thermal comfort, there may be an increase in en-
gine idle speed during operation of the Climatronic in some circumstances.
Climatronic - automatic operation
Read and observe
on page 72 first.
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and
to demist the windows in the interior of the car.

To switch on press the 
button. The display shows 

on page 73 ).
›
To turn off , press any button for the air distribution or change the blower
speed. However, temperature regulation is continued.
recirculation
Read and observe
on page 72 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the in-
terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior. 
