WARNING
For road safety when transporting cargo on the roof rack, observe the fol-
lowing instructions.
■
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly us-
ing suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.
■
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.
■
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
■
Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide with
the roof load when opened.
■
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.
Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Heating and ventilation
Heating, manual air conditioning system, Climatronic
Introduction
The heating heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning sys-
tem 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 works under the following conditions.
The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is below 2 ° C.
The blower is switched on.
Fogging is prevented when the cooling system is switched on.
It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly acti-
vating the air recirculation system » page 115.
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 should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶
Once a year, the air conditioning should be disinfected by a specialist garage.
WARNING
■
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there could be an accident.
■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
