Class N1 vehiclesRead and observe
and on page 96 first.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening
the load.
Proper functioning of the electrical installation is essential for safe vehicle op-
eration. It is important to ensure that the electrical installation is not damaged
during the adjustment process or when the storage area is being loaded and
unloaded.

Roof rack
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Roof load
104WARNING■ 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, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances. 
103Transporting and practical equipment

WARNING (Continued)■Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.■The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
■ Only roof racks from the ŠKODA Original Accessories range should be used.■When dealing with roof rack systems, the installation instructions supplied
with the roof luggage rack system must be observed.■
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.
Roof load
Read and observe
and on page 103 first.
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
loaded up to the maximum weight limit specified in the fitting instructions.

109
The heating and air conditioning ventilate and heat the vehicle interior. The air
conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met: The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
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
the cold season of the year.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling
effect » page 106 .
WARNING■
For your own safety and that of other road users, ensure that all the win-
dows are free of ice, snow and misting.■
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting up. 
104Using the system

WARNING (Continued)■Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.■
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for
the use of the cooling system are to be observed. ■The difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor air
temperature should not be greater than about 5 ° C.
■ The cooling system is to be turned off about 10 minutes before the end
of the journey.
■ Once a year, a disinfection of the air conditioner or the Climatronic is to
be carried out by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.
Note
The used air streams out through the vents in the luggage compartment.

Air distribution control
Read and observe
and on page 104 first.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting in-to the vehicle, e.g. when driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.
Heating and air conditioning (manual air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on or off, press the Symbol key
 .
The air recirculation mode is automatically turned off by turning the air distri-
bution control
C
to position 
» Fig. 111 on page 107 or » Fig. 112 on
page 107 .
Recirculated air mode can be switched on again from this position by repeat-
edly pressing the symbol button .
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on, press the Symbol key
 repeatedly until
the indicator light is lit on the left side of the button.
To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key  re-
peatedly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
Climatronic has an air quality sensor for the detection of the pollutant concen-
tration in the sucked-in air.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the
air quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched on.
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.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air
mode in the event of an unpleasant odour, you can switch it on yourself by
pressing the button . The indicator light lights up in the button on the left
side.
To turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recircula-
tions , press the
 button of press the
 symbol button repeatedly until
the warning lights in the button go out.WARNINGThe recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may re-
sult in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
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.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2 °C.106Using the system
