Climatronic (Automatic Air Conditioning System) - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning system)

Introductory information
The Climatronic maintains fully automatically a convenience temperature. This is
achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the air flow, the blower
stages and air distribution. The system also takes sunlight into account, which
eliminates the need to alter the settings manually. The automatic
mode » page 91 ensures maximum well-being of the occupants at all times of
the year.
