Transportation on the roof rack
Roof load
The maximum permitted weight of the load incl. carriers is 100 kg.
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 permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
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

 Introduction

Heating and manual air conditioning

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)

Climatronic - automatic operation
95
Air distribution control
96
Air outlet vents
96
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 96.
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. 

Driving forwards - In mode D, the forward gears are automatically
changed according to the engine load, accelerator pedal actuation and
driving speed
Sports mode - the gear change takes place in the position S at higher en-
gine speeds than in mode D
Before changing to mode S from mode D, press the lock button in the di-
rection of arrow 1
» Fig. 128 on page 107 .
Selector lever lock
Fig. 128
Shift lock button
Read and observe and on page 106 first.
The selector lever is locked in mode P and N to prevent that the forward driv-
ing is selected accidentally, thereby setting the vehicle in motion.
The selector lever is locked only when the vehicle is stationary and at speeds
up to 5 km/h.
The selector lever lock is indicated by the illumination of the warning light .
Releasing selector lever from mode P or N (selector lever lock)
›
Press the brake pedal and the lock button at the same time in the direction
of
1
» Fig. 128 .
To move the selector lever from mode N to D only the brake pedal must be
pressed.
The selector lever is not locked when quickly moving across the position N
(e.g. from R to D). This, for example, helps to rock out a vehicle that is stuck,
e.g. in a bank of snow. The selector lever lock will engage if the lever is in posi-
tion N for more than approx. 2 seconds without the brake pedal being de-
pressed.
If it is not possible to release the gear selector from mode P in the usual man-
ner, then this can be emergency unlocked » page 166.
DSNoteTo switch the selector lever from mode P to mode D/S or vice versa, move the
selector lever quickly. This prevents that you accidentally select mode R or N.
Manual shifting (Tiptronic)
Fig. 129
Selector lever
Read and observe and on page 106 first.
Tiptronic mode makes it possible to manually shift gears on the selector lever.
This mode can be selected both while stopping and while driving.
Switching to manual shifting using the selector lever
›
Push the gear selector from position D towards the right, or left in a right-
hand drive vehicle. The current gear is maintained.
Gear changing
›
To change up , tap the selector lever forwards
+
» Fig. 129 .
›
To change down , tap the selector lever backwards
-
» Fig. 129.
The currently selected gear is indicated in the display » Fig. 127 on page 106 .
The gearshift indicator should be observed when changing gear » page 39.
When accelerating, the gearbox automatically shifts up into the higher gear
just before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached. If a lower gear
is selected, the gearbox does not shift down until there is no risk of the engine
overrevving.
Note
It may be beneficial, for example, when travelling downhill, to use manual
shifting of gears. Shifting to a lower gear reduces the load on the brakes and
hence the wear of the brakes.107Starting-off and Driving
