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

WARNING (Continued)
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.
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
Make sure that the panoramic tilt / slide sunroof or the boot lid does not col-
■
lide with the roof load when opened.
Ensure the roof aerial is not impaired by the load being transported.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Heating and manual air conditioning
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
Climatronic - automatic operation
recirculation
Air outlet vents
The heater heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning sys-
tem 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 works under the following conditions.
The cooling system is switched on.

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above 2 °C.

The blower is switched on.

When the cooling system is switched on, it prevents misting of the windscreen
and windows.
It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly acti-
vating the air recirculation system» page
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 outside temperature and the inside temperature
should not be greater than 5 °C.
▶
The cooling system should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶
Once a year, a disinfection of the air conditioner is to be carried out by a spe-
cialist company.
