SKODA RAPID SPACEBACK 2018 Owners Manual

Note
vThe 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.
v
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!

v
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.

Controls of the heating / air conditioning

Set the blower speed (the set blower speed is indicated by the corre-
sponding number of segments in the display)

CAUTIONWe recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air opera-
tion is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
If recirculated air mode is switched on for around 15 minutes, the symbol 3
will begin to flash in the Climatronic display as a sign that the recirculated air
mode is switched on long-term. If the recirculated air mode is not switched
off, the symbol 3 flashes for around 5 minutes.
