Heating and air conditioning system Heating and air conditioning system Introductory information The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in the vehicle.
If you cannot rectify the functional fault yourself, or the cooling capacity decrea- ses, the cooling system must be switched off. Visit a specialist garage. Air outlet vents Fig. 71 Air outlet vents Open the air outlet vents 3 and 4 › Turn the vertical wheel (air vents 3 ) » Fig.
Note If the air distribution is positioned towards the windows, the total amount of air is used to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell.
WARNING Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, 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.
Note ■ The whole heat output will be needed to defrost the windshield and side win- dows. No warm air will be fed to the footwell. This can lead to restriction of the heating comfort. ■ The warning light in the AC button lights after activation, even if not all of the conditions for the function of the cooling system have been met.
Setting the air conditioning system Recommended basic settings of the control elements of the air conditioning sys- tem for the respective operating modes: Set-up Setting of the control dial Button Ai.
WARNING Do not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as “stale” air can cause fatigue of the driver and passengers, 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.
Recirculated air mode Air conditioning system switched on Note The interior temperature sensor 11 » Fig. 74 is located in the bottom part of the device. Do not stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable effect on the Climatronic.
WARNING ■ “ Stale air” may result 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. ■ Do not switch off the Climatronic system for longer than necessary.
Starting-off and Driving Starting and stopping the engine ä Introduction This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Adjusting the steering wheel position 79 Electrohydraulic power s.
For the sake of the environment Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.
Ignition lock Fig. 76 Positions of the vehicle key in the ignition lock First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 78.
WARNING ■ The brake booster only operates when the engine is running. Greater physi- cal effort for braking is required when the engine is switched off - risk of acci- dent! ■ Depress the clutch pedal when stopping or braking a vehicle with a petrol engine and manual transmission in the low rev range.
Faults in the brake surface If it is found that the braking distance has suddenly become longer and that the brake pedal can be depressed further, the brake system may be faulty. Visit a specialist garage immediately and adjust your style of driving appropriately as you will not know how great the damage is.

Automatic gearbox Automatic gearbox ä Introduction This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Introductory information 89 Starting-off and driving 90 Selector lever positions 90 Man.
When parking on a level road surface, it suffices to engage selector lever position P . When parking on a slope, the handbrake should be applied firmly before the park position is selected. This ensures that there is no excessive pressure on the lock mechanism and that it is subsequently easier to move the selector lever out of position P .
N - Neutral The transmission is in Neutral in this position. The brake pedal must be depressed to move the selector lever out of the position N (if the lever is in this position for longer than 2 seconds) into the position D or R when the vehicle is travelling at less than 5 km/h or the vehicle is stationary and the ignition is switched on.
The selector lever lock is only active if the vehicle is stationary or moving at speed of less than 5 km/hour. The lock is switched off automatically into position N when the car is travelling at a higher speed.

The seat belt height adjuster makes it possible to adjust the routing of the front seat belts in the area of the shoulder to the body size.
Note ■ Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not an indi- cation of a fire in the vehicle. ■ When disposing of the vehicle or parts of the belt tensioner system, it is impor- tant to comply with national legal requirements.
Airbag system Description of the airbag system Introductory information The operational readiness of the airbag system is monitored electronically. The airbag indicator light comes on for a few seconds each time the ignition is switched on » page 27 .
Deployment factors It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to the airbag system in every situation. An important role is played by factors such as the type of object that the vehicle hits (hard, soft), the impact angle, vehicle speed, etc.
WARNING (Continued) is a risk of the child suffering severe or even fatal injuries if the front passen- ger airbag is deployed. When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, pay attention to any relevant national regulations regarding the use of child safety seats.
WARNING ■ Your head should never be positioned in the deployment area of the side airbag. You might suffer severe injuries in the event of an accident. This ap- plies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable child safety seat » page 119 , Child safety and side airbag .
Function of the side airbags Fig. 100 Inflated side airbag First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 113. When the side airbags are deployed, the head airbag and belt tensioner are also automatically deployed on the relevant side.

Driving Tips Driving and the Environment The first 1 500 kilometres and then afterwards New engine The engine has to be run in during the first 1 500 kilometres. Up to 1 000 kilometres › Do not drive faster than 3/4 of the maximum speed of the gear in use, i.
WARNING ■ In view of the high temperatures which can be produced in the catalytic con- verter, the vehicle should be parked in such a way that the catalytic converter cannot come into contact with e.
Note Observe the recommended gear » page 14 . Avoiding full throttle Fig. 109 Fuel consumption in litres/100 km. and speed in km/h. Driving more slowly means saving fuel. Sensitive use of the accelerator will not only significantly reduce fuel consump- tion but also positively influence environmental pollution and wear of your vehi- cle.
Avoid short distances Fig. 110 Fuel consumption in l/100 km at different temperatures Short distances result in an above-average high fuel consumption. We therefore recommend avoiding distances of less than 4 km if the engine is cold. A cold engine consumes the most fuel immediately after the start.
› The use of solvent-free adhesives. › No CFCs used in the production process. › Without use of mercury. › Use of water-soluble paints. Trade-in and recycling of old cars ŠKODA meets the requirements of the brand and its products with regard to pro- tecting the environment and the preserving resources.
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads): › Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of water. The water level must fit around the strut on the side member as a maxi- mum » Fig.
Towing a trailer Towing a trailer Technical requirements If your vehicle has already been factory-fitted with a towing device or is fitted with a towing device from ŠKODA Original Accessories, then it meets all of the technical requirements and national legal provisions for towing a trailer.
Immediately reduce your speed as soon as even the slightest swaying of the trail- er is detected. Never attempt to stop the trailer from “swaying” by accelerating. Brakes Apply the brakes in good time! If the trailer is fitted with a trailer brake , apply the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly.
