SKODA YETI 2012 1.G / 5L Manual PDF

CAUTION
■ Only use roof rack systems approved by ŠKODA.
■ If other roof rack systems are used or if the roof bars are not fitted correctly,
any resulting damage to the vehicle is not covered by the warranty. It is therefore
essential that the supplied fitting instructions for the roof rack system are ob-
served.
■ On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the tilted panorama roof
does not strike any items which are transported. ■ Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened. For the sake of the environment
The increased aerodynamic drag results in a higher fuel consumption. ÐRoof load
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 68.
The maximum permissible roof load (including roof rack system) of
100 kg and the
maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle should not be exceeded.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. In this case, the roof rack system must only be loa-
ded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions. ÐCup holder

Overview
The vehicle has the following storage compartments: Storage compartment on the front passenger side » page 72
Storage compartment on the dash panel » page 73
Stowage compartment in front centre console » page 73
Map pockets in the front seats » page 74
Glasses storage box » page 74

Flexible storage compartment » page 77 WARNING
■ Do not place anything on the dash panel. These objects might slide or fall
down when driving and may distract you from concentrating on the traffic -
risk of accident!
■ When driving, ensure that no objects from the centre console or from other
storage compartments can get into the driver's footwell. You would then no
longer be able to apply the brakes, operate the clutch or accelerator - risk of
accident! Ð Storage compartment on the front passenger side

Fig. 72
Storage compartment: Using
cooling system
› Open the air supply by pulling the lever in the direction of the arrow
» Fig. 72.
› The air supply is closed by pressing the lever.
Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows
cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.
Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or inte-
rior air to flow into the storage compartment.
We recommend closing the air supply if it is operated in heating mode or the cool-
ing system for the storage compartment is not being used. ÐStorage compartment on the dash panel

not be used for such purposes - risk of fire!
■ The storage compartment must always be closed when driving for safety
reasons.

» Fig. 79.
Closing storage compartment
› Open the lid to the stop, only then can it be folded downwards. Setting height
› First of all fold the cover downwards and then lift it in the direction of the ar-
row 1

› Push the cover into the desired position.
Opening air inlet
› Pull the lock A
» Fig. 79 upwards.
Closing air inlet
› Carefully push the lock A
» Fig. 79 downwards until it stops.
On vehicles fitted with air conditioning, the storage compartment is equipped
with a lockable inlet for thermally treated (warmed-up) air.
When the air vent is opened, the air flows into the stowage compartment with a
temperature corresponding to the control dial settings on the A/C unit, depending
on the outer climate conditions.
The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position  through ad-
justment of the control dial for air distribution. This setting causes the maximum
amount of air to flow into the storage compartment (depending on the rotary reg-
ulator position for the fan).
The storage compartment can, for example, be used to temper drinks cans, etc.
If you do not use the air inlet in the storage compartment, the inlet should al-
ways be kept closed. Note
Push the armrest cover all the way back to the stop before applying the hand-
brake. Ð
