Auxiliary Heating; Operational Problems - Skoda Yeti Owner's Manual

Operational problems


First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 91.
If the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C,
there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be.
›
One of the fuses has blown. Check the fuse and replace if necessa-
ry » page 236.
›
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
If you are not able to resolve the operational problem yourself, or if the cooler
output has reduced, switch off the cooling system and seek assistance from a
specialist garage.
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching on and off directly
System settings
Radio remote control
Conditions for the functioning of auxiliary heating (Aux. heating and ventilation),
hereinafter referred to only as auxiliary heating (Aux. heating).
The charge state of the vehicle battery is sufficient.

The fuel supply is adequate (the warning icon

instrument cluster).
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating)
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) can be used when stationary, when the
engine is switched off to preheat the vehicle and also while driving (e.g. during
the heating phase of the engine).

The auxiliary heater (parking heater) functions in connection with the air-condi-
tioning system or Climatronic.
The auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) also warms up the engine.
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) warms up the coolant by combusting fuel
from the vehicle tank.
The coolant warms up the air, which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows
into the passenger compartment.
WARNING
The auxiliary heater (independent vehicle heater) must never be operated in
■
closed rooms (e.g. garages) – risk of poisoning!
The auxiliary heating (parking heating) must not be allowed to run during re-
■

fuelling – risk of fire.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located underneath the vehicle.
■
Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating), do
not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases can come into con-
tact with highly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflammable sub-
stances (e.g. spilt fuel) – risk of fire.
CAUTION
The running auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating) consumes fuel from the vehicle
■
tank and automatically controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is
present in the fuel tank, the auxiliary heater switches itself off.
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of
■
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
If the auxiliary heating is running, the vehicle battery discharges. If the auxiliary
■
heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a longer period, the
vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge the vehicle battery.
Note
The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
■
temperature of approx. 50 °C.
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
■
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating
problem.
