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

WARNING
Never leave recirculated air mode switched on over a longer period of time, as
"stale air" can cause driver and passenger fatigue, reduce attention levels and
also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
