94 Heating and air conditioning system
You can set the air supply to the individual air outlet vents using the control
A
C
dial .
Air outlet vents 3 and 4 can also be opened or closed individually:
•
Air outlet vent fully open - knurled wheel vertically in position F
•
Air outlet vent fully closed - knurled wheel vertically in position F or
G.
Turning the horizontal and vertical knurled wheels on the air outlet vents
3 and 4 allows one to change the direction of the inlet air flow .
Using the air conditioning system economically
The compressor on the air conditioning system uses power from the
engine when in cooling mode which will effect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which
the interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight
in order to allow the heated air to escape.
The air conditioning system should not be switched on while travelling
when the window is open.
The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching
in the air conditioning system just by switching to fresh air mode.
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you also reduce pollutant emissions.
Operational problems
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher
than +5°C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:
•
The fuse on the air conditioning system has blown. Check the fuse,
replace it if necessary ⇒ page 209.
•
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time
because the coolant temperature of the engine is too hot ⇒ page 13.
If you are not able to rectify the operational problem yourself, or if the
cooling capacity decreases, switch the air conditioning system off. Please
contact your Škoda dealer.
