Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual page 91

The cooling only operates if button
conditions are met:
● engine running,
● outside temperature above approx. +2 °C and
● blower switch switched on (positions 1 to 4).
Air at a temperature of about 5 °C may flow out of the vents under certain circum-
stances when the cooling system is operating. Lengthy and uneven distribution of
the air flow out of the vents and large differences in temperature, for example
when getting out of the vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Note
● We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a spe-
cialist garage once every year.
