We recommend that you leave the air outlet vents 3 » Fig. 82 on page 82 in the
opened position.
Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam.
Switching on/off
›
Press the button and the warning light underneath the button illuminates.
›
Press the button again, the warning light underneath the button goes out.
Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control
C
» Fig. 84 on page 83 is turned to position
. Recirculated air mode can be
switched on again from this setting by repeatedly pressing the button .
WARNINGDo 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 andalso 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.
Air conditioning system (manual air conditioning
system)
Introductory information
The cooling system only operates if the button
» Fig. 85 on page 84 is press-
ed, and the following conditions are met:
› engine running;
› outside temperature above approx. 2
℃;
› blower switch switched on (positions 1-6).
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.
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a ŠKODA
specialist garage once every year.

If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air
quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched off.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribu-
tion control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the
vehicle interior.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn inair.
If the air quality sensor does not switch on automatic recirculated air mode when there is an unpleasant smell, you can switch in on manually.

Function prerequisites when switching on:
› Comfort temperature has been set;
› The blower is switched on;
› the air outlet vents are opened;
› The air outlet is set to position
or
.
Auxiliary heating (parking heating) › It can be used when stationary, when the engine is switched off to preheat the
vehicle and while driving (e.g. during the heating phase of the engine);
› It works in tandem with the hearer, air-conditioning system or Climatronic;
88Using the system
Page 91 of 222
›The engine is also preheated when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
not running;
› It warms up the coolant by burning fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant
warms up the air, which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the passenger compartment.
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms - risk of poi-
soning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be running during refuelling - risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of the
vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating, do not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases can come into contact with high-
ly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflammable substances (e.g.
spilt fuel).
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and automati-
cally controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel
tank, the function of the auxiliary heating is blocked.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge
the vehicle battery.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or leaves
to ensure that the auxiliary heating and cooling system operates properly.

battery dropped too far.» page 176
After switching the system off, the auxiliary heating will continue running a little
while longer in order to burn the remaining fuel in the auxiliary heater. Exhaust
fumes from the system will thus be directed outside.

After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short period.
The auxiliary heater does not switch on: › when the following appears in the instrument cluster display, or the the follow-
ing was displayed before the ignition was turned off: Please refuel. Range: ...

Fig. 88
Auxiliary heater: Radio remote control
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-

Explanation of graphicAAerialBBattery coverCWarning lightSwitch on the auxiliary heatingSwitch off the auxiliary heating
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control.
The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few hun-
dred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertical, with the
aerial pointing upwards. The antenna must not be covered with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio remote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at
least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
user different kinds of feedback:

Avoiding full throttleFig. 96
Principle sketch: Fuel consump-
tion in litres/100 km. and speed
in km/h
The slower you drive, the more the fuel savings.
Sensitive use of the accelerator will not only significantly reduce fuel consump- tion but also positively influence environmental pollution and wear of your vehi-
cle.
The maximum speed of your vehicle should, as far possible, never be used. Fuel
consumption, pollutant emissions and vehicle noises increase disproportionally at
high speeds.
The » Fig. 96 shows the ratio of fuel consumption to the speed of your vehicle.
Fuel consumption will be halved if only three-quarters of the possible top speed
of your vehicle is used.
Reducing idling
Idling also costs fuel.
In vehicles not equipped with the START-STOP system, turn off the engine when
in a traffic jam, at a level crossing or traffic lights with longer wait times.
Even after just 30-40 seconds you will have saved more fuel than that is needed
when you start the engine up again.
If an engine is only idling it takes much longer for it to reach its normal operating
temperature. Wear-and-tear and pollutant emissions, though, are particularly
high in the warming-up phase. Therefore, start driving as soon as the engine has
started. whereby high engine speeds should be avoided.
Avoid short distancesFig. 97
Principle sketch: Fuel consump-
tion in l/100 km at different tem-
peratures
Short distances result in an above-average high fuel consumption. We therefore recommend avoiding distances of less than 4 km if the engine is cold.
A cold engine consumes the most fuel immediately after the start. Fuel consump- tion drops to 10 litres/100 km after just 1 kilometre. The consumption stabilises once the engine and catalytic converter have reached their operating tempera-
ture.
An important factor in this connection is also the ambient temperature. The im-
age » Fig. 97 shows the different levels of fuel consumption after driving a certain
distance at a temperature of +20 °C and a temperature of -10 °C.
Your vehicle has a higher fuel consumption in Winter than in Summer.

INDUSTRY CANADA Statements
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même
si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Phonebox
The vehicle body partially interferes with the telephone signal and makes use of
the mobile telephone somewhat more difficult in regions with a weak signal. The
current consumption and the telephone battery discharges more quickly.
To reduce the effects of these defects, an induction plate is located on the bot-
tom of the stowage compartment in the centre console » Fig. 68 on page 74. The
induction plate generates a induction field for the telephone signal which is direc- ted to the plate on the roof aerial where it is amplified.
The mobile phone kept in the stowage compartment with the underside on the
induction plate can use a signal boosted by around 20 %.
As a result:
› the sending and receiving power of the telephone is improved;
› the discharge of the phone battery is reduced;
› the electromagnetic radiation is reduced in the vehicle interior.
