WARNINGThe following instructions must be observed to aid road safety when trans-
porting cargo on the roof rack.■
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly
with suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.
■
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 gross permissible
weight of the vehicle must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk
of accident!
CAUTION
■ Before stowing the roof rack, the key must be removed from the carrier -
otherwise there is a risk of key corruption.■
If you want to stow the roof rack and the roll-up luggage compartment cover
at the same time , then it is necessary that the rear part of the roll-up luggage
compartment is covering the rear roof rack.
CAUTION
■
Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide 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

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 107.
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 must be carried out by a
specialist company. 

Hotspot (WLAN) and data connection
Hotspot (WLAN)
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen.
WLAN can be used to connect to the Internet, to playback audio files in the menu media (if the connected external device allows this) or for operating the
device using an application in the external device (e.g. ŠKODA Media Command).
The requirement for the WLAN function is that the ignition is switched on. Af-
ter switching on the ignition, the last-used WLAN connection appears.
It is possible to connect up to 8 external devices to the Infotainment hotspot
and at the same time to connect Infotainment to the hotspot of other external
devices.
If there is a SIM card with activated data services in the external module of In-
fotainment Columbus or there is a connection to the phone via Bluetooth ®
profile RSAP, a connection cannot be established to the external device hot-
spot.
