Auxiliary Heating (Auxiliary Heating And Ventilation) - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air
quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched off.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribu-
tion control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the
vehicle interior.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and then
fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is switched
on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the drawn in
air.
If the air quality sensor does not switch on automatic recirculated air mode when
there is an unpleasant smell, you can switch in on manually.
