Control elements
Setting
Recirculated air mode
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met.
» Fig. 108 on page 99 switched on.
 
The engine is running.

The outside temperature above approx. +2 °C.

The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-6).

Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents and large differ-
ences in temperature, for example when getting out of the vehicle, can result in
chills in sensitive persons.
If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
The cooling system is switched off at a high coolant temperature in order to pro-
vide cooling at a high load of the engine.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a ŠKODA
specialist garage once every year.
