First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. The red scale of the rev counter 1 » Fig. 2 on page 8 indicates the range in which the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control unit restricts the engine speed to a steady limit. You should shift into the next higher gear before the red scale of the revolution counter is reached, or move the selector lever into position D if your car is fitted with an automatic gearbox. To maintain the optimum motor speed, observe the gearshift indica- tor » page 11. For the sake of the environment Shifting to a higher gear in good time helps to lower fuel consumption, minimises operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life and reliability of the engine. Ð First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. Warning against excessive speeds An audible warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 km/h. The audible warning signal is switched off when the vehicle speed falls below this speed limit. Note This function is only valid for some countries. Ð Coolant temperature gauge First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. The coolant temperature gauge 4 » Fig. 2 on page 8 operates only when the ig- nition is switched on. ä ä ä The following guidelines regarding the temperature ranges must be observed to avoid any damage to the engine. Cold range If the pointer is still in the left area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature. Avoid high speeds, full throttle and high engine loads. The operating range The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale, for a normal style of driving. The pointer may also move further to the right at high engine loads and high outside temperatures. CAUTION Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air in- let impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads » page 21, Coolant temperature/coolant level . Ð Fuel gauge First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. The fuel gauge 6 » Fig. 2 on page 8 only operates when the ignition is switched on. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The indicator light in the instru- ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve mark- ing» page 24. CAUTION Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! An irregular supply of fuel can lead to irregular engine running. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and damage the catalytic converter. £ ä 9 Instruments and Indicator Lights

braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap- prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault. Ð Counter for distance driven First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. Daily trip counter (trip) The trip counter shows the distance driven since the time the counter was last reset. To reset the display of the daily trip counter, press button 7 » Fig. 2 on page 8 for longer. Odometer The odometer indicates the total distance in kilometres or miles which the vehicle has been driven. Fault display If there is a fault in the instrument cluster Error will appear continuously in the display. Ensure the fault is rectified as soon as possible by ŠKODA a specialist ga- rage. Note For vehicles fitted with the information display, if the display of the second speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the counter for the total distance driven. Ð Service Interval Display First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. ä ä Service Interval Display Before the next service interval, a key symbol  and the remaining kilometres are indicated on the display for several seconds after switching on the ignition. At the same time, the remaining days until the next service interval are displayed. The following is displayed in the information display: Service in ... km or ... days. The kilometre indicator or the days indicator reduces in steps of 100 km or, where applicable, days until the service due date is reached. As soon as the due date for the service is reached, a flashing key symbol  and the text Service appears in the display for several seconds after the ignition has been switched on. The following is displayed in the information display: Service now! Displaying the distance and days until the next service interval You can use the button 3 to display the remaining distance and days until the next service interval » Fig. 2 on page 8. A key symbol  and the remaining distance appear for several seconds in the display. At the same time, the remaining days until the next service interval are displayed. On vehicles which are equipped with the information display, you can call up this display in the menu Settings » page 16. Resetting Service Interval Display It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least a pre-warning is shown in the instrument cluster display. We recommend that this reset is completed by a ŠKODA specialist garage. The ŠKODA specialist garage: › Resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection › Adds an entry to the Service Schedule › Affixes the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the dashboard on the driver's side Reset the service interval display by using the reset button 7 » Fig. 2 on page 8. On vehicles which are equipped with the information display, you can reset the Service Interval Display in the menu Settings » page 16. £ 10 Using the system

can result in the incorrect setting of the Service Interval Display, which can also cause possible problems with the operation of your vehicle. Note ■Never reset the display between service intervals, as this will result in the incor- rect display. ■Information is retained in the Service Interval Display even after the vehicle bat- tery is disconnected. ■If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must be entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a ŠKODA specialist garage. ■After resetting the display with flexible service intervals, the displayed data is the same as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals. We therefore recom- mend that the Service Interval Display is only reset by a ŠKODA Service Partner, who will reset the display with a vehicle system tester. ■For more information on the service intervals » Service Plan. Ð Digital clock First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. The clock is set with the buttons 3 and 7 » Fig. 2 on page 8. Select the display that you wish to change with the button 3 and carry out the change with the button 7 . On vehicles that are fitted with the information display, it is also possible to set the clock in the menu Time » page 16. Ð ä Recommended gear Fig. 3 Recommended gear First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 8. The currently engaged gear A is shown in the instrument cluster display » Fig. 3. In order to minimise the fuel consumption, a recommendation for shifting into an- other gear is indicated in the display. If the control unit recognises that it is beneficial to change gear, an arrow B is shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether you should shift into a higher or lower gear. At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently en- gaged gear A . CAUTION The driver is always responsible for selecting the correct gear in different driving situations, such as overtaking. Ð ä 11 Instruments and Indicator Lights

On vehicles with an information display, there is an option to fade out some of the information. ä WARNING ■Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re- sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. ■Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature dis- play that there is no ice on the road. Even at temperatures around +4 °C, black ice may still be on the road surface – warning, drive with care! CAUTION Pull out the ignition key if coming in contact with the display (e.g. when cleaning) to prevent any possible damage. Note ■In certain national versions the displays appear in the Imperial system of meas- ures. ■If the display of the second speed is activated in mph, the current speed is not indicated in km/h on the display. Ð Memory Fig. 5 Multifunction display First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 12. The multifunction display is equipped with two automatic memories. The selected memory is shown in the Display » Fig. 5. The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a 1 appears in the dis- play. A 2 shown in the display means that data relates to the total distance mem- ory (memory 2). £ ä 12 Using the system

screen wiper lever or using the adjustment wheel D on the multifunction steer- ing wheel. Single-trip memory (memory 1) The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ig- nition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the cal- culation of the current driving information if the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition. If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically erased. Total-trip memory (memory 2) The total-trip memory gathers data from any number of individual journeys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1 999 kilometres driven, and on vehi- cles which are fitted with an information display up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9 999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when ei- ther of these limits is reached and the calculation starts all over again. Unlike the single-trip memory, the total-trip memory is not deleted after a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours. Note All information in the memory 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is dis- connected. Ð Operation Fig. 6 Multifunction display: Control elements on the windscreen wiper lev- er/control elements on the multifunction steering wheel First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 12.

ä Introduction This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Preliminary information 38 Description of the operation 39 Audible signals 39 Adjusting the top position of the lid 40 Operational problems 40 Ð Preliminary information Fig. 21 Operation of the lid Fig. 22 Operation of the lid: Button on the centre console/designation of the areas First read and observe the introductory information given on page 38. If the electrical opening of the lid was triggered using the button on the remote control key or the button on the centre console, an intermittent audible signal sounds while the lid is moving. The electric boot lid is fitted with a force limiter. If the lid hits an obstacle when closing, it stops and an audible signal sounds. If you rapidly enter the vehicle dur- ing the opening or closing process of the boot lid, the whole vehicle may jerk and as a result the movement of the lid can be interrupted. The force limiter is activa- ted. Manually opening and closing the boot lid is only possible in exceptional cases, and must be completed slowly and without sudden movements as close to the centre of the lid as possible. Handling the sides of the lid can damage the electric lid. CAUTION ■In a critical situation, the movement of the lid can be stopped by applying an abrupt and quick force against the lid. ■Before opening or closing the lid, check if there are any objects in the opening or closing range which could obstruct the movement (e.g. a load on the roof lug- gage rack or on the trailer, etc.) - risk of causing damage to the lid! ■Ensure that there is at least 10 cm of clearance above the opened boot lid (e.g. distance from the garage ceiling). Otherwise, it may happen that the clearance above the opened lid is no longer sufficient after relieving the vehicle of a load (e.g. after unloading) - risk of causing damage to the lid. ■Do not try to manually close the lid during the electric closing process. Damage can occur to the system of the electric boot lid. ■If the lid is closed manually, it must be ensured that when moving the lid into the lock, pressure is applied to the centre edge of the lid above the ŠKODA logo. Note ■In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g by a thick layer of snow), the opening process of the lid can be interrupted. The lid must be protected to ensure its electrical functionality. ■If necessary, we recommend that you ask a ŠKODA Service Partner. Ð ä 38 Using the system

Lights ä Introduction This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Switching lights on and off 49 DAY LIGHT function (Daylight driving light) 49 Automatic driving lamp control 49 Parking light 50 COMING HOME/LEAVING HOME function 50 Adaptive headlights (AHL) 51 Fog lights 52 Fog lights with the function CORNER 52 Rear fog lights 52 Instrument lighting  53 Headlight beam adjustment  53 Switches for the hazard warning light system 53 Turn signal and main beam lever 54 On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs from that shown in » Fig. 30 on page 49. The symbols which mark the switch positions are identical, however. The low beam continues to shine while the ignition is switched on and the light switch is in the position  or . After switching off the ignition, the low beam is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. The side lights also go out after the ignition key is removed. WARNING ■Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor. ■The automatic driving lamp control  only operates as a support and does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa- ry, to switch on the light depending on the light conditions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we recom- mend switching on the low beam or fog lights! CAUTION ■The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with na- tional legal requirements. ■The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the lights. Note ■If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv- er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig- nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if necessary. ■If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically. ■In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system. Ð 48 Using the system

Ð Adaptive headlights (AHL) First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 48. Switching on › Turn the light switch » Fig. 31 on page 49 to position . The AHL system is activated if: › the light sensor recognises a low light intensity, › no reverse gear is engaged, › the operation mode “tourist light” is not switched on. The light sensor switches on the full outer illumination at low light intensity. The AHL system makes it possible to change the length and width of illumination from the headlights. The length and width of illumination changes automatically in relation to the vehicle speed and the use of the windscreen wiper. The AHL system operates in the following modes. Out of town mode The “out of town” mode is a basic mode. The dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam. The mode is active if none of the following modes are active. Rain mode In the “rain” mode the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wid- er and the width of illumination is shorter, so that during bad weather (rain) the dazzling of the oncoming drivers can be reduced. The mode is activated at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers continuously operate for a period of time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is deactivated when dropping below or ex- ceeding the set speed limit or if the windscreen wipers have been switched off for a period of time longer than 8 minutes. ä City mode In the “city” mode, the dispersion of the cone of light in front of the vehicle is wid- er and the width of illumination is shorter. The aim is to illuminate also the adja- cent footpaths, crossings, pedestrian crossings, etc. The mode is active at speeds of 15-50 km/h. Motorway mode In the “motorway” mode, the dispersion of the cone of light is adapted so that it also illuminates the left (or right)1) lane of the motorway, so that the driver can re- act in time to an obstacle or any other danger. The mode is activated gradually from a speed of 90 km/h. It is most effective at speeds above 120 km/h. Tourist light This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system, driving on the left/right, without dazzling the oncoming vehicles. When the “tou- rist light” mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of the headlights is deactivated. The “tourist light” mode is activated/deactivated via the information display in the menu: ■Settings ■Travel mode ■Off ■Switched on Cornering lights The cornering lights are used to illuminate the curves by means of the cone of light swivelling together with the front headlight with Xenon lights. This function is active when the speed of the car increases to more than 10 km/h. WARNING If the cornering lights are defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming traffic. Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and visit a ŠKODA specialist garage as soon as possible. Note The AHL system complements the functions of the fog lights with the function CORNER » page 52 and the function of the dynamic headlight beam adjustment. Ð 1) It is valid for vehicles which are designed for driving on the left. 51 Lights and visibility

Otherwise the window cleaner could freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front. ■The rain sensor only operates as a support. The driver is not released from the responsibility to set the function of the windscreen wipers manually de- pending on the visibility conditions. CAUTION ■In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before the journey or before switching on the ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen, this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor! ■If the ignition is switched off while the windscreen wipers are switched on, the windscreen wipers will continue wiping in the same mode after the ignition is turned back on. The windscreen wipers could freeze up in cold temperatures be- tween the time the ignition was turned off and when it was turned back on again. ■Carefully detach frozen wiper blades from the front or rear window. ■Remove snow and ice from the windscreen wipers before driving. ■If the windscreen wipers are handled carelessly, there is a risk of damage to the windscreen. ■Replace the windscreen wiper blades once or twice a year for safety reasons. These can be purchased from a ŠKODA Service Partner. ■The ignition must not be switched on if the front windscreen wiper arms are fol- ded out. The wiper blades would move back into their rest position and while do- ing so damage the paintwork of the bonnet. Note ■If the slower 2 » Fig. 47 on page 60 or the faster 3 wiper setting is switched on and the vehicle speed decreases to below 4 km/h, the lower wiper step is switched on automatically. At a speed increase of more than 8 km/h the previous wiper setting is established again. ■If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wiper will try to push away the obstacle. If the obstacle continues to block the wiper, the wiper stops automati- cally after 5 attempts to eliminate the obstacle, in order to avoid a damage to the wiper. Remove the the obstacle and switch the wiper on again. ■The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the en- gine is running and the outside temperature is less than approx. +10 °C. ■The content of the windscreen washer fluid reservoir is 3 litres. On vehicles fit- ted with the headlight cleaning system, the volume is 5.5 litres. On vehicles fitted with auxiliary heating, the content of the windscreen wiper reservoir is 4.5 litres. ■The wiper blades should be cleaned on a regular basis with a windscreen clean- er to avoid any smears. The wiper blades should be cleaned with a sponge or cloth if they are heavily soiled by insect residues, for example.

Front seats ä Introduction This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Manually adjusting the front seats 67 Adjusting front seats electrically 67 Memory function of the power seat 68 Memory function of the remote control key 68 The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs. The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms. Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for: › safely and quickly reaching the controls; › a relaxed, fatigue-free body position; › achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag system. WARNING ■Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk of accident! ■Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re- sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention. ■As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch- ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat- tended in the car. ■The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system - risk of injury! ■Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle. WARNING (Continued) ■Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat. Children must be fastened » page 154, Transporting children safely with a suitable restraint system. ■The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your occupants. ■Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat passenger. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position! ■It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this mini- mum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard! ■Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as they may get caught be- hind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would then no lon- ger be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate. ■Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects (e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose - risk of accident! Note ■After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the backrest angle. ■For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back- rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion. ■When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings will be deleted.

by small and light objects that they can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this case the more significant factor. Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”. You can imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “object” flies through the interior com- partment and hits an occupant. WARNING ■Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes. ■Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are fly- ing around are hit by a deployed airbag.

Air conditioning system Introductory information The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the vehicle. The well-being of the occupants of the car is enhanced as a result of this particularly at high outside temperatures and a high air humidity. The system prevents the windows misting up during the cold season of the year. It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling ef- fect. Please refer to the information regarding recirculated air mode for the air-condi- tioning system » page 96 or for Climatronic » page 98. The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves to en- sure that the heating and cooling system operates properly. After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air condi- tioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is quite normal and not an indication of a leak! WARNING ■For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win- dows are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to correctly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode. ■Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up. Note ■The used air streams out through the vents in the boot. ■We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the in- terior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning sys- tem. This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is oper- ating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (re- placement of compressor). ■To ensure that the air conditioning system works properly, do not block up the air outlet vents with any objects. Ð Using the air conditioning system economically The compressor on the air conditioning system uses power from the engine when in cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption. It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the inte- rior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order to al- low the heated air to escape. The cooling system should not be switched on while travelling when the window is open. If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected. For the sake of the environment Pollutant emissions are also reduced when fuel is saved. Ð Operational problems If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be. › One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa- ry » page 207. › The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot » page 9. If you cannot rectify the functional fault yourself, or the cooling capacity decrea- ses, the cooling system must be switched off. Visit a ŠKODA specialist garage. Ð 93 The air conditioning system

Changing the air flow direction › The horizontal as well as the vertical direction of the air flow is set with the moveable handle in the middle of the relevant air outlet vents. The air outlet vents 2, 3 » Fig. 106 and 5 » Fig. 107 can be closed and opened indi- vidually. Unwarmed or cooled air will flow out of the opened air outlet vents according to the setting of control dial and the outside atmospheric conditions. Ð Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning system) Introductory information The cooling system only operates if the button AC 1 » Fig. 108 on page 95 is pressed, and the following conditions are met: › engine running; › outside temperature above approx. +2 °C; › blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4). Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on. Lengthy and uneven distribu- tion of the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for ex- ample when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons. Note We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a ŠKODA specialist garage once every year. Ð 94 Using the system

WARNING Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up. Ð 96 Using the system

Introductory information The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the air flow, the blower stages and air distribution. The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic mode » page 98 ensures maximum well-being of the occupants at all times of the year. Description of Climatronic system The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met: › engine running; › outside temperature above approx. +2 °C; › AC 13 » Fig. 109 on page 97 switched on. The AC compressor is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro- vide cooling at a high load of the engine. Recommended setting for all periods of the year. › Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22 °C. › Press the button AUTO 8 » Fig. 109 on page 97. › Move the air outlet vents 2 and 3 so that the air flow is directed slightly up- wards. Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air blower is automatically switched over to “solar mode” if the sun ray's are suffi- cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof de- liver power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air. For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened » Fig. 106 on page 94. The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed. Note ■We recommend that you have the Climatronic system cleaned by a ŠKODA spe- cialist garage once every year. ■On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio or radio navigation system, the Climatronic information is also shown on their displays. This function can be switched off, see operating instructions for the radio or navigation system.

Switching on/off of the temperature setting in dual mode DUAL Switching the cooling system on and off AC Setting of the temperature for the right side, operation of the seat heating of the right front seat Note Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable ef- fect on the Climatronic. Ð Automatic mode The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to demist the windows in the interior of the car. Switching on › Set a temperature between +18 °C and +26 ℃. › Move the air outlet vents 2 and 3 » Fig. 106 on page 94 so that the air flow is directed slightly upwards. › Press the button AUTO 8 » Fig. 109 on page 97. The indicator light in the top right or left corner lights up, depending on which mode was last selected. If the indicator light in the top right corner of the button AUTO lights up, the Cli- matronic operates in “HIGH” mode. The “HIGH” mode is the standard setting of the Climatronic. When pressing again the button AUTO , the Climatronic changes into the “LOW” mode and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air con- ditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied. By pressing the button AUTO again, it is changed to “HIGH” mode. Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri- bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never- theless regulated. Ð 10 11 12 13 14 Switching the cooling system on and off Switching the cooling system on and off › Press the button AC » Fig. 109 on page 97. The indicator light in the button lights up. › When you again press the button AC , the air conditioning system is switched off. The indicator light in the button goes out. Only the function of the ventila- tion remains active when no lower temperature than the outside temperature can be reached. Ð Setting temperature The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately. › The temperature for both sides can be set with the control dial 7 » Fig. 109 on page 97 after switching on the ignition. › If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial 14 . The indicator light in the button DUAL lights up, this indicates that differing temperatures for the left and right side can be set. If the indicator light in the button DUAL 12 » Fig. 109 on page 97 is illuminated, the temperature for both sides cannot be set with the control dial 7 . You can re- activate this function by pressing the button DUAL . The indicator light in the but- ton goes out. The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 ℃. The interior tem- perature is regulated automatically within this range. If a temperature lower than +18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If a temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this case. Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold. Ð Recirculated air mode Recirculated air mode largely prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle get- ting into the vehicle, for example, when driving through a tunnel or when stand- ing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is rec- ognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is £ 98 Using the system
