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

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.

The availability of some of the functions described in this Owner's Manual depends on the type of device to be connected and the applications installed
in it.
Mobile phones
On the ŠKODApages, check to see if the device is compatible with the selected
mobile phones. This verification is done by reading the QR code » Fig. 90 by
the associated application in the external device (e.g. phone, tablet) or after
typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the large number of mobile phones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
the device unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check func-
tion on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, beforehand.
Only those versions of the selected phones will be tested and supported which
originate from the official distribution network. The same also applies to their
firmware and software.
The functions of the mobile phone to be tested may differ from the same type
of mobile phone depending on the specification for the respective country or
the specific service.
Mobile phones with the operating system and in the version available at the
time of these tests will be tested. In this regard, it could be the case that the
functions of a mobile phone may differ with a different operating system ver-
sion compared to the one used with the tested phone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by
the mobile phone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to the device or ve-
hicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or unau-
thorized use of mobile phones.
Applications
Due to the variety of applications and communication systems as well as their
ongoing development, the available applications may not work in all external
devices. ŠKODA AUTO can accept no liability for their proper function.
