Heating And Ventilation; Heating, Manual Air Conditioning System, Climatronic - Skoda YETI Owner's Manual

WARNING
When transporting cargo, the following instructions must be adhered to.
The transported items on the roof rack must always be securely attached
■
– risk of accident!
Always secure the load with appropriate and undamaged lashing straps
■
or tensioning straps.
Distribute the load evenly over the roof rack system.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
■
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
Avoid abrupt and sudden driving/braking manoeuvres.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and permissible total ve-
■
hicle weight must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
On vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, make sure that the panorama roof
■
does not strike any items which are transported when it is tilted.
Ensure that the boot lid does not hit the roof load when opened.
■
Note
We recommend that you use a roof rack from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
Roof load

Read and observe and
Do not exceed the permissible roof load of 100 kg – this includes the carrier
system.
The full permissible roof load cannot be used if a roof rack system with a lower
load carrying capacity is used. The maximum capacity of the carrier system
should never be exceeded.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Heating and manual air conditioning
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
Climatronic - automatic operation
Air distribution control
Air outlet vents
The heating and air conditioning ventilate and heat the vehicle interior. The air
conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system only operates if the following conditions are met:
The cooling system is switched on.

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above approx. +2 °C.

The blower is switched on.

If the cooling system is switched on, the temperature and air humidity drops in
the vehicle. The cooling system prevents the windows from misting up during
the cold season of the year.
It is possible to briefly activate recirculated air mode to enhance the cooling
effect » page 107.
Health protection
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed.
▶
The difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor air temper-
ature should not be greater than about 5 ° C.
▶
The cooling system is to be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶
Once a year, have the manual air conditioner or the Climatronic disinfected by
a specialist company.
