Skoda Octavia COMBI 2007 Owner's Manual page 110

WARNING (continued)
•
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of
time, as "stale" air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert
your attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an
accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
•
If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of deposits. Switch the cooling system on
at least once a month for approximately 5 minutes at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a
window for a short time.
•
We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the inte-
rior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning system.
This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating
which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (replace-
ment of compressor).
•
The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.
•
The Information of the Climatronic is displayed on the display of the radio*. You
can also switch off this function - see operating instructions for radio
