Controlling Blower - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

CAUTION
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.
Automatic recirculation mode

First read and observe the introductory information given on page 112.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air
quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched off.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribu-
tion control 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.
If the air quality sensor does not switch on automatic recirculated air mode when
there is an unpleasant smell, you can switch in on manually.

Using the system
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.
If the windscreen mists up, press the symbol button . Press the symbol
■
button  when the windscreen is demisted.
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature
■
is higher than approx. 2 °C.
