Climatronic* (Automatic Air Conditioning) - Skoda SUPERB - 05-2009 Manual

Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)

Description
The Climatronic system is a combination of an automatic heating,
fresh air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the
occupants of the car.
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower
stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which
eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic mode
⇒ page 110 ensures maximum wellbeing of the occupants at all times of the year.

Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off*
On vehicles fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with solar cells* the fresh air
blower is automatically switched over to "solar mode" if the sun rays are sufficient
after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof deliver
power for the fresh air blower. This supplies the interior of the car with fresh air.
For an optimum ventilation, the air outlet vents 2 and 3 must be opened
