
103Transporting and practical equipment

WARNINGWhen transporting cargo, the following instructions must be adhered to.■The transported items on the roof rack must always 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.
■
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
■ On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the panorama roof
does not strike any items which are transported when it is tilted.■
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Roof load
Read and observe
and on page 104 first.
Do not exceed the permissible roof load of 100 kg – this includes the carrier
system.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. The maximum capacity of the carrier system
should never be exceeded.

Air distribution control
107
Air outlet vents
108
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 107 .
Health protection
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 temper-
ature 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, have the manual air conditioner or the Climatronic disinfected by
a specialist company. 
104Using the system

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.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
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.

There is no automatic temperature control in the two end positions.
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with the interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adap-
ted to suit your particular needs.
If the blower speed is reduced to a minimum, Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the symbol button 
when the re-
spective number of indicator lights come on.WARNING■ Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.■Switch on the Climatronic system as soon as the windows mist up.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor B » Fig. 124 as this could impair
the functioning of the Climatronic.
Note
■ If the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button . Press the button
 once the windscreen has demisted.■
During operation of the Climatronic, an increase in engine idle speed can oc-
cur under certain circumstances in order to ensure adequate heating comfort.
Climatronic - automatic operation
Read and observe
and on page 105 first.
The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature andto demist the windows in the interior of the car.
If the warning light in the top right corner of the button  lights up, the Cli-
matronic operates in “HIGH”-mode.
Upon pressing the  button again, the Climatronic switches to “LOW”-mode
and the indicator light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses on-
ly in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air
conditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button  again, it is changed to “HIGH”-mode.
Automatic mode can be switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air
distribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature
regulation is continued.
Note
Climatronic is set to the “HIGH” mode at the factory.
Air distribution control
Read and observe
and on page 105 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the in-
terior of the vehicle.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior.

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. 
107Heating and ventilation

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-
tion , 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.Air outlet ventsFig. 125
