Setting Temperature; Automatic Mode - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Note
Below the top row of buttons is located the interior temperature sensor. Do not
stick anything on or cover the sensor, otherwise it could have an unfavourable ef-
fect on the Climatronic.

Automatic mode

The automatic mode is used in order to maintain a constant temperature and to
demist the windows in the interior of the car.

mode and the warning light in the top left corner lights up. The Climatronic uses
only in this mode the lower blower speed. However taking into account the noise
level, this is more comfortable, yet be aware that the effectiveness of the air con-
ditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button again, it is changed to "HIGH" mode.
AUTO
Automatic mode is switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air distri-
bution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. The temperature is never-
theless regulated.

Setting temperature

The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately.
›
The temperature for both sides can be set with the control dial

page 85 after switching on the ignition.
›
If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial

page 85 lights up, this indicates that differing temperatures for the left and
right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button
temperature for both sides cannot be set with the control dial
page 85. You can reactivate this function by pressing the button
warning light in the button goes out.
The interior temperature can be set between +18 °C and +26 ℃. The interior tem-
perature is regulated automatically within this range. If a temperature lower than
+18 °C is selected, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If a
temperature higher than +26 °C is selected, a red symbol lights up at the start of
on
the numerical scale. In both limit positions the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. The temperature is not controlled in this
case.
Lengthy and uneven distribution of the air flow out of the vents (especially
around the feet) and large differences in temperature, for example, when getting
out of the vehicle, can cause susceptible individuals to catch a cold.
Recirculated air mode
Recirculated air mode largely prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle get-
ting into the vehicle, for example, when driving through a tunnel or when stand-
Ð
ing in a traffic jam. If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is rec-
ognized by the air quality sensor, when the automatic air distribution control is
switched on, the air distribution control will temporarily be switched off. If the
concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribution con-
trol is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the vehicle
interior. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and
then fed back into the interior. When the automatic air distribution control is
switched on, an air quality sensor measures the concentration of pollutants in the
drawn in air.
