114Operation

CAUTIONLengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when get-
ting out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculation mode - Version 1
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting in-
to the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in
a traffic jam.
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 distri-
bution 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 sen-
sor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in air.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on/off
117
Radio remote control
118
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventila-
tion), hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.
The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon  is not lit in the display of
the instrument cluster).
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).
Auxiliary heating (aux. heating)
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) 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).
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) functions in connection with the air-
conditioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) also warms up the engine. This is not valid
for vehicles with the 3.6 l/191 kW FSI engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting
fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant heats air flowing into the passenger
compartment (as long as the blower fan speed
B
» Fig. 124 on page 110
or » Fig. 125 on page 113 is not set to zero). 
116Operation

WARNING■The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must never be operated in closed
rooms (e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) must not be allowed to run during re-
fuelling – risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) is located on the
underside of the vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary
heating (aux. heating), do not park the vehicle in such a way that the ex-
haust gases can come into contact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry
grass) or easily inflammable substances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION
■ Running auxiliary heating (aux. heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle tank
and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is
present in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) switches off.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating (aux. 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 (aux. heating) is running, the vehicle battery discharg-
es. 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 (aux. heating) switches on the blower B » Fig. 124 on
page 110 or » Fig. 125 on page 113 only 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 operat-
ing problem.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) operates properly.
■
So that warm air can flow into the vehicle interior after switching on the aux-
iliary heating, you must maintain the comfort temperature normally selected
by you, leave the fan switched on and leave the air outlet vents in an open po-
sition. It is recommended to put the air flow in the position 
or 
.
Switching on/offFig. 126
Button for switching on/off the system directly on the operating
part of the air conditioning/Climatronic
Read and observe
and on page 117 first.
The auxiliary heating (aux. heating) can be switched on/off as follows.
Manually switching on using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The warning light in the button lights up » Fig. 126;
by using the radio remote control » page 118.
Manually switching off using the button on the operating part of the manual air conditioning/Cli-
matronic. The warning light in the button goes out » Fig. 126;
by using the radio remote control » page 118.
After switching off the auxiliary heating, the coolant pump runs for a short pe-
riod.
Automatic switching on/off
The following menu items can be selected from the Aux. heating menu item in
the information display » page 44 (depending on the vehicle equipment):
■ Day of the week - set the current day of the week;
■ Running time - Set the required running time in 5 minute increments. The
running time can be 10 to 60 minutes.
■ Mode - Set the desired heating/ventilation mode; 
117Air conditioning system

■Starting time 1 , Starting time 2 , Starting time 3 - for each pre-set time, the
day and the time (hour and minute) can be set for switching on the auxiliary
heating and ventilation. An empty position can be found between Sunday
and Monday when selecting the day. If this empty position is selected, the
activation is performed without taking into account the day.
■ Activate - Activate pre-set mode;
■ Deactivate - Deactivate pre-set mode;
■ Factory setting - Restore factory setting;
■ Back - Return to main menu
Only one programmed pre-set time can be active.
The last programmed pre-set time remains active.
After the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) automatically activates at the set
time, it is necessary to pre-set a time again.
If the menu item Back is selected or no changes are made on the display for
longer than 10 seconds, the set values are stored, but the pre-set time is not
activated.
The system switches itself off at the end of the running time set under the
menu item Running time .

Warning light
Switch on aux. heating
Switch off aux. heating
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote con-
trol. 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
hundred metres. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker battery in the remote control can clearly re-
duce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) on or off, hold the remote control
vertical, with the aerial
A
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 re-
mote 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:

WARNING (Continued)■Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
from where it becomes a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an
accident or a collision — risk of injury.■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
Universal telephone preinstallation (hands free)
The universal telephone preinstallation (“hands-free system”) includes a con- venience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction steer-
ing wheel, the radio or navigation system.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.
Note■ We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist firm.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II or GSM III. Ask a ŠKODA Partner whether your phone is compatible with the universal telephone prepa-
ration GSM II or GSM III.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restric-
ted to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obsta-
cles between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your
mobile phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties
when establishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring
data.
Operating the phone on the multifunction steering wheel
Fig. 128
Multifunction steering wheel: Control buttons for the telephone
There are buttons in the steering wheel for easy operation of the basic func-
tions of the phone » Fig. 128 so that the driver is distracted from the traffic as
little as possible when using the phone.
This applies only if your vehicle has been equipped with the universal tele-
phone preinstallation at the factory.
The buttons operate the functions for the operating mode of the current tele-
phone.
If the side lights are switched on, the buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel are illuminated. 120Operation

CAUTION■“Never repair” fuses or replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage – risk
of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.■
If a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical
system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage.
■
A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
Note
■
We recommend always carrying replacement fuses in the vehicle. A box of
