Technical Data
outside temperature above approx. +2°C,
 switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the 
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the  car is enhanced as a result of this partic-
ularly at high outside temperatures and a  high air humidity. The system prevents the 
windows misting up during th e cold season of the year.
The heating effect is dependent upon the c oolant temperature, thus full heat output 
only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculat ed air mode in order to enhance the cooling 
effect  page 103.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to 
ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly.
The AC compressor is switched off at a hi gh coolant temperature in order to provide 
cooling at a high load of the engine.
After switching on the cooling  Condensation from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle be low the vehicle. This is quite normal and 
not an indication of a leak!
Recommended setting for all periods of the year:
Set the desired temperature, we recommend 22°C.
Press the button    page 102, fig. 108 .
Move the air outlet vents  3 and  4 so that the air flow is  directed slightly upwards.
WARNING
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the 
windows are free of ice, snow and mistin g. Please familiarize yourself about 
how to correctly operate th e heating and ventilation systems, how to demist 
and defrost the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, 
as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert your 
attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident 
increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows begin 
misting up.
Note
If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may 
be produced at the evaporator because of  deposits. Switch the cooling system on at 
least once a month for approximately 5 minu tes at the highest blower stage - also 
during the cold season of the year - in order to avoid such odours. Also open a window 
for a short time.
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 interior 
of the vehicle forms deposits in the evapor ator of the air conditioning system. This 
produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating which can 
only be eliminated through considerable  effort and expense (replacement of 
compressor).
The used air streams out through the air  removal openings in the luggage compart-
ment.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted radio* or navigation*, the information 
of the Climatronic is also shown on the display. This function can be switched off, see 
operating instructions of the radio* or the navigation system*.

Releasing the handbrake– Pull the handbrake lever up slightly and  at the same time press in the locking 
button  fig. 113 .
– Hold the button pressed and push the handbrake lever down fully  .
The handbrake warning light 
 lights up when the handbrak e is applied, provided the 
ignition is on.
A warning signal sounds and the following text  appears in the display* if you have inad-
vertently driven off with the handbrake applied:
Release parking brake!
The handbrake warning is acti vated if you drive at a speed of more than 6 km/h for 
more than 3 seconds.
WARNING
Please note that the handbrake must be fully released. A handbrake which 
is only partially released can result in the rear brakes overheating which will 
have a negative effect on the operation of  the brake system - risk of accident! In 
addition this can result in premature wear of the rear brake pads.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. The children might, for 
example, release the handbrake or take  the vehicle out of gear. The vehicle 
might then move off - risk of accident!Caution
After the car has come to a stop, always firs t of all apply the handbrake firmly before 
then additionally engaging a gear (manual gearbox) or moving the selector lever into 
position  P (automatic gearbox).
Rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning  of obstacles behind the vehicle.The audible parking aid determines the di stance between the rear bumper and an 
obstacle located behind the ve hicle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The tones of 
the parking aid can be adapted in th e menu of the information display* page 25. 
The sensors are integrated in the rear bumper.
Range of sensors
The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 160 cm from the obstacle (area   
 fig. 114 ). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as the clear-
ance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from  a distance of approx. 30 cm (area  ) - danger area. 
You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds!  If the vehicle is 
equipped with a factory-fitted  towing device*, the border of the danger area starts - 
continuous tone - 5 cm further behind th e vehicle. The vehicle can be extended 
through an installed deta chable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted  radio* or navigation system*, the distance 
to the obstruction is shown graphically in the display. On vehicles with a factory-fitted 
towing device, the sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is informed 
about this by a graphic display (vehicle towing  a trailer) in the radio* or the navigation* 
display. The factory-fitted radio* or navigati on system* can be set so that the play func-
tion volume decreases when activating the parking aid, see Owner's Manual radio* or 
navigation system*. This improves  the audibility of the parking aid.

Activating
The parking aid is activated automatically when  reverse gear is engaged and the igni-
tion is turned on. This is confirme d by a brief acknowledgement signal.
Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated  by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and 
it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when parking the vehicle or 
carrying out similar manoeuvres.
You should therefore satisfy yourself, befo re reversing, that there is no small 
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., behind your vehicle. 
Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces  of certain objects and types of 
clothing cannot reflect the signal of  the parking aid. Thus, these objects or 
people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking 
aid.Note
The parking aid does not operate if you are towing a trailer (applies to models 
which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seconds after switching the ignition on and 
engaging reverse gear, and there is no obstac le close to your vehicle, this indicates a 
system fault. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate 
properly.
Front and rear parking aid*The parking aid provides a warning of  obstacles in front and behind the 
vehicle.Fig. 115  Activating the  parking aid / detection range of the front sensorsThe audible parking aid determines the distan ce between the front or rear bumper and 
an obstacle with the aid of ultrasound sensors. The sensors are integrated in the front 
and rear bumper. The signal tones for the fr ont parking aid sound higher as standard 
than for the rear parking aid. The tones of the parking aid can be adapted in the menu 
of the information display*  page 25.
Range of sensors
The distance warning begins at a distance  of about 120°cm from the obstacle in front 
of the vehicle (area    fig. 115 ) and about 160 cm from the obstacle behind the 
vehicle (area  ). The interval between th e warning signals becomes shorter as the 
clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from  a distance of approx. 30 cm (area  ) - danger area. 
From this moment on do not continue driving! If the vehicle is equipped with a 
factory-fitted towing device*, the border of  the danger area starts - continuous tone - 
5 cm further behind the vehicle. The vehi cle can be extended through an installed 
detachable towing device.
On vehicles equipped with a factory-fitted  radio* or navigation system*, the distance 
to the obstruction is shown graphically in the  display. On vehicles with a factory-fitted 
towing device, the rear sensors are deactivated when towing a trailer. The driver is 
informed about this by a graphic display (vehic le towing a trailer) in the radio* or the

nated.
WARNING
The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper attention and 
it is always the driver's responsibility to  take care when reversing the vehicle or 
carrying out similar manoeuvres.
You should therefore satisfy yourself, befo re reversing, that there is no small 
obstacle, such as a rock, thin post, trailer drawbar etc., in front or behind your 
vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be  within the range detected by the sensors.
Under certain circumstances, surfaces  of certain objects and types of 
clothing cannot reflect the signal of the parking aid. Thus, these objects or 
people who wear such clothing are not recognised by the sensors of the parking 
aid.Note
Only the front parking aid operates if yo u are towing a trailer (applies only to 
models which feature a factory-fitted towing device*).
If a warning signal sounds for about 3 seco nds after activating the system and there 
is no obstacle close to your  vehicle, this indicates a system fault. The fault is confirmed 
additionally when the symbol   flashes in the button  page 112, fig. 115  - left. 
Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate 
properly.
If the parking aid is activated and the sele ctor lever of the automatic gearbox is in 
the position  , warning signal indicates inte rruption (vehicle can no longer move).
Cruise control system (CCS)*IntroductionThe cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h (20 
mph), once it has been set, without you havi ng to depress the accelerator pedal. This 
is only possible within the range which is  permitted by the power output and braking 
power of the engine. The cruise  control system makes it possible - particularly on long 
journeys - for you to rest your “accelerator foot”.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the cruise control system must not be used in dense 
traffic or on unfavourable ro ad surfaces (such as icy roads, slippery roads, loose 
gravel) - risk of accident!
In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always 
switch off the system after use.Note
Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Alwa ys depress the clutch pedal if you switch 
on the cruise control system when the gearbo x is in Neutral! Otherwise the engine can 
rev up unintentionally.
The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving on 
steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which it 
travels. One should shift down in good time  to a lower gear or slow the vehicle down 
by applying the foot brake.
It is not possible on vehicles fitted with  an automatic gearbox to switch on the 
cruise control system if the sele ctor lever is in the position P, N  or  R.

Note
The loudspeakers in the vehicle are matched to a power output of the radio and 
navigation system of 4x 20°W.
For the equipment sound system*, the loudspeakers are matched to a power 
output of the amplifier of 4x40°W + 6x20 W.
Mobile phones and two-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be 
carried out by a specialist garage.
Škoda Auto permits the operation of mobile  phones and two-way radio systems with 
a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 
10 watts.
It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble and 
operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of more 
than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofitting 
mobile phones.
When using a mobile phone inside the vehicl e, which is not inserted into the phone 
adapter, and thus has no connection to the  external aerial, the electromagnetic radia-
tion can exceed the current limit value. If a suitable adapter is available for your mobile 
phone, use your mobile phone exclusively in  the adapter so that the radiation in the 
vehicle drops to a minimum. This also  improves the quality of the connection.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way ra dio systems may interfere with functioning 
of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
no external aerial,
external aerial incorrectly installed,
transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle 
without using a special external aerial or an external aerial which has been 
incorrectly installed, this can increase  the strength of the electromagnetic field 
in the interior of the vehicle.
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts on 
the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. 
This might result in injuries to the  occupants in the event of an accident.
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on  the dash panel or in another area, 
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuver, an accident
