Climatronic (Automatic Air Conditioning System) - Skoda Superb Owner's Manual

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning system)

Introductory information
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the air flow, the blower
stages and air distribution. The system also takes sunlight into account, which
eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic
mode » page 98 ensures maximum well-being of the occupants at all times of
the year.

Move the air outlet vents 2 and 3 so that the air flow is directed slightly up-

Aeration of the vehicle when ignition is switched off
On models fitted with power sliding/tilting roof with sollar cells, the fresh air
blower is automatically switched over to "solar mode" if the sun ray's are suffi-
cient after switching off the ignition. The solar cells on the sliding/tilting roof de-
liver 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
on page 94.
The ventilation functions only when the sliding/tilting roof is closed.
