Air Conditioning System (Manual Air Conditioning 8 System) - Skoda Roomster Owner's Manual

We recommend that you leave the air outlet vents 3
open position in all operating modes.
Note
If the air distribution is set only to the windows, the entire volume of air is used
to defrost the windows and thus no air will be fed to the footwell. This can limit
the heating comfort.
Recirculated air mode

First read and observe the introductory information given on page 78.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air from outside the vehicle getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a
traffic jam.
Switching on/off

Press the  button.
The indicator light in the button lights up.
›
Press the  button again.
The indicator light in the button goes out.
Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically if the air distribution control
» Fig. 81 on page 79 is turned to the  position. Recirculated air mode can be
C
switched on again from this setting by pressing the  button again.
WARNING
Never leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of time, as "stale air"
can cause fatigue of the driver and the passengers, reduce attention levels
and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increa-
ses. Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Operation
Setting the air conditioning system
Recirculated air mode
The cooling system operates only if the following conditions are met.
The cooling system is switched on

The engine is running.

The outside temperature is above approximately +2 °C.

The blower switch is switched on (positions 1-4).

If the desired interior temperature can also be achieved without activating the
cooling system, fresh air mode should be selected.
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to en-
sure that the engine cools down.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow out of
■
the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
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.
Note
We recommend that you have the air conditioning system cleaned by a specialist
garage once every year.
