Roof rack system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Attachment points

Roof load
75WARNING■ The transported items on the roof rack must be securely attached – risk of
accident!■
Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps or
tensioning straps.
■
Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, handling of the car may change as a result of the dis-
placement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must there-
fore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total vehi-
cle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstance – risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA AUTO a.s.■When dealing with roof rack systems, the installation instructions supplied with
the roof luggage rack system must be observed.■
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof, ensure that the extended
sliding/tilting roof does not hit any items of luggage transported on the roof.
■
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■ The height of the vehicle changes after mounting a roof luggage rack system
and the load that is secured to it. Compare the vehicle height with available clear- ances, such as underpasses and garage doors.■
Always remove the roof luggage rack system before entering an automated car
wash.
■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the secured load.
For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption.

Heating and air-conditioning
Heating, ventilation, cooling
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Air outlets
76
Using the cooling system economically
77
Operational problems
77
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 cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
winter months.
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 81 or for Climatronic » page 83.
WARNINGFor your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the windows
are free of ice, snow and misting. Please familiarize yourself about how to cor-
rectly operate the heating and ventilation systems, how to demist and defrost
the windows, as well as with the cooling mode.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free from ice, snow or leaves,
for example, to ensure that the heating and cooling system works properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air con-
ditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a leak!
Note■ The used air escapes through the vents at the back of 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).
Air outlets
Fig. 77
Air outlet vents
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings
on page 76.
Warmed, unwarmed or cooled air flows out of the air outlet vents depending on
the regulator position for the heating or the air-conditioning system and the at-
mospheric conditions.
On air outlet vents 3 and 4 » Fig. 77 , the direction of air flow can be changed and
the vents can also be opened or closed individually and the amount of airflow ad-
justed.

We recommend that you leave the air outlet vents 3 » Fig. 77 on page 76 in the
open position in all operating modes.
Note
If the air distribution is positioned only towards the windows, the total amount of
air is used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell. This
can lead to restriction of the heating comfort.
Recirculated air mode
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 77.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, e.g. when driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.

The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met. The cooling system is switched on » page 80, Control elements .
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at excessive coolant temperatures in order to guarantee a cooling effect when the engine is under a high load.
CAUTION
■ 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 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.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.79Heating and air-conditioning

ŠKODA 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.
Please consult a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibility of installing and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func-
tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.
WARNING (Continued)■ If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
where it can become a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision — risk of injury.
■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist company be-
fore the vehicle can be transported by air.
Note
■ We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II. You can ask a ŠKODA Partner
whether your telephone is compatible with the GSM II universal telephone fitting.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted
to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be- tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobilephone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when estab-lishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring data.
