2019 Seat Ibiza engine

Operation
Climate control usage instructions The interior cooling system only works when
the engine is running and fan is switched on.
Economic use of the air conditioning
When the air conditioning is s wit
ched on, the
compressor consumes engine power and has
influence on fuel consumption.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the panoramic sliding
sunroof closed. However, if the vehicle has
heated up after standing in the sun for some
time, the air inside can be cooled more quick-
ly by opening the windows and the panoram-
ic sliding sunroof briefly.
Change the temperature unit (Climatron-
ic)
The temperature display can be changed
from Celsius to Fahrenheit on the screen of
the Infotainment system using the Infotain-
ment button    > Settings/System
> Units .
The cooling system cannot be activated
If the air conditioning system cannot be
switched on, this may be caused by the fol-
