Climatronic (Automatic Air Conditioning System); Control Elements - Skoda Fabia Owner's Manual

WARNING
Never leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period, as "stale air" can
cause fatigue in the driver and the passengers, reduce attention levels and al-
so cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.

Climatronic in automatic mode ensures the best-possible setting of the tempera-
ture of the outflowing air, the blower stage and air distribution.
The system also takes sunlight into account, which eliminates the need to alter
the settings manually.
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met.

ery year.
