Warranty coverage
This warranty extends to the repair or replacement of all parts that need to be
repaired or replaced due to inadequate workmanship or the parts being defective; this is in order to restore the vehicle to its original production specifications while adhering to deadlines and the requirements set out in this Owner's
Manual.
The ŠKODA partner decides on the type of repair, taking into account economic aspects as regards to the technologies recommended by ŠKODA Auto India
Private Limited.
An adequate period of time should be provided for the completion of the warranty repair after the notification of the vehicle with a ŠKODA partner.
Where can you claim warranty
The warranty is provided by a ŠKODA partner.
Beginning and end of the warranty period
The warranty period begins on the date of delivery of the new vehicle to the
original purchaser or lessee.

In terms of the repairs made, or parts built-in during the warranty period, the
warranty expires at the end of the warranty period of the respective vehicle.
Tyres and vehicle batteries
Some parts with which ŠKODA vehicles are equipped, such as tyres, batteries,
etc., are not produced by ŠKODA Auto India Private Limited, but are provided
by other suppliers. These parts are excluded from the ŠKODA warranty, but the
vehicle purchaser can make a warranty claim with the respective manufactur-
er / supplier. If there are any problems with the provision of the guarantee by
these manufacturers, an authorized ŠKODA dealer will assist you in finding a
solution.
Maintenance implementation and mechanical customisations
This warranty does not apply to costs of consumables or work as part of regular maintenance. A tyre change, a wheel alignment and balancing are also considered to be scheduled maintenance.

deficient workmanship or the parts being defective. After expiry of the time
limits mentioned above these are regarded as natural wear and tear and are
excluded from the warranty.

upholstery inside the vehicle, the protective wax covering of various body
parts, are considered maintenance and are excluded from the warranty. A
damaged or fading of trim, soft elements and leather parts due to the effect of
weather conditions or usage are excluded from the warranty.
The term "normal wear and tear" cannot be predefined, because different
types of use leads to different defects or types of wear. Particularly sensitive
components, such as spark plugs, clutch plates and related components, are
easily identifiable and are excluded from the warranty.
Mechanical adjustments that are not material or workmanship related (especially doors, flaps and headlight settings) are excluded from the guarantee after 10 000 km or 6 months, whichever occurs first. After this period, these
faults are considered normal wear and tear.
Immaterial errors that do not affect the vehicle function, including noise or vibration, and anything similar, are excluded from the warranty.

Exception is for the bi-xenon gas discharge lamps in the headlights, they are
covered by a 2 year warranty. Damaged bulbs in the headlights caused by

Safety
WARNING
■
At all times, the front seats and head restraints must be adjusted to
match the person's body size and the seat belt must be attached properly
to provide the most effective levels of protection to passengers.
■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 23, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■
The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving, otherwise this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag
system – risk of injury!
WARNING
By sitting incorrectly, the occupant is risking life-threatening injuries.
Correct seated position of the driver
Fig. 2
Correct seated position for the driver/correct steering wheel posi-
tion
Read and observe on page 13 first.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident,
the following should be observed.
Adjust the driver’s seat in the forward/back direction so that the pedals
can be fully depressed with slightly bent legs.
For vehicles equipped with driver knee airbags, adjust the driver's seat in a
forward/back direction so that there is a gap of at least 10 cm between the
legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the knee airbag» fig. 2 - B.
Adjust the seat backrest so that the highest point of the steering wheel
can be reached with your arms at a slight angle.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the steering
wheel and your chest is at least 25 cm» fig. 2 - A.
Adjust the headrest so that the top edge of the headrest is at the same
level as the upper part of your head (not for seats with integrated headrests)» fig. 2 - C.
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 15, Using seat belts.
WARNING
■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from the steering wheel, and a distance of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dashboard around the
area of the knee airbag. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean
that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you – hazard!
■
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer edge in the “9 o'clock” and “3 o'clock” position » fig. 2. Never hold the
steering wheel in the “12 o'clock” position or in any other way (e.g. in the
middle, inner edge of the steering wheel or similar). Otherwise, in the event
of airbag deployment, you could suffer serious injury to the arms, hands
and head.
■
Ensure there are no objects in the driver's footwell as they may get behind the pedals while driving. You would then no longer be able to operate
the clutch, brake or accelerate.

■
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving -only when
the vehicle is stationary!
■
The safety lever must always be locked so that the steering wheel cannot
accidentally change position – There is a risk of an accident!
Correct seating position for the front passenger
Read and observe on page 13 first.
For passenger safety and to reduce the risk of injury in an accident, the following instructions must be observed.
Position the front passenger seat back as far as possible. The front passenger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dashboards that
the airbag offers the greatest possible safety if it is deployed.
Adjust the headrests so that the top edge of the headrest is at the same
level as the upper part of your head» fig. 2 on page 13 - C (not for seats
with integrated headrests).
Correctly fasten the seat belt » page 15.
WARNING
■
A distance of least 25 cm to the dash panel should be maintained, otherwise the airbag system will not be able to protect you - There is a risk to
life!
■
Always keep your feet in the feet area when the car is being driven – never place your feet on the dashboard, out of the window or on the surface of
the seats! You will be exposed to increased risk of injury when braking or in
the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
Correct seating position for the passengers in the rear seats
Read and observe on page 13 first.
For the safety of the passengers in the rear seats, and to reduce the risk of
injury in an accident, the following instructions must be observed.
Adjust the headrests so that the top edge of the headrest is at the same
level as the upper part of the head» fig. 2 on page 13 - C.

Safety
Seat belts
Using seat belts
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Correct routing of seat belt 16
Fastening and unfastening seat belts 16
Seat belt for the rear middle seat 17
Seat belts that are fastened correctly offer good protection in the event of an
accident. They reduce the risk of an injury and increase the chance of survival
in the event of a major accident.
The seat belts reduce kinetic energy to a considerable extent. They also prevent uncontrolled movements which, in turn, may well result in severe injuries.
When transporting a child the following instructions must be observed
» page 23, Transporting children safely.
WARNING
■
Fasten seat belts before every journey! This also applies to other passen-
gers - there is a danger of injury!
■
Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated
» page 12, Correct and safe seated position.
■
The seat backrests of the front seats must not be tilted too far to the rear
otherwise the seatbelts can lose their effectiveness.
WARNING
Information on dealing with the safety belts
■
The belt webbing must not be jammed in-between at any point or twis-
ted, or chafe against any sharp edges.
■
Make sure you do not catch the seat belt in the door when closing it.
WARNING (Continued)
■
No two persons (including children) should ever use a single seat belt to-
gether.
■
The belt tongue should only be inserted into the lock which is the correct
one for your seat. Wrong use of the safety belt will reduce its capacity to
protect and the risk of injury increases.
■
Many layers of clothing and loose clothing (e. g. a winter coat over a jacket) impairs the natural sitting position and impairs proper operation of the
seat belts.
■
Do not use clamps or other objects to adjust seat belts (e.g. for shortening the belts for smaller persons).
■
The seat belts for the rear seats can only fulfil their function reliably
when the rear seat rests are correctly locked into position » page 73.
WARNING
Information on the maintenance of safety belts
■
The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may impair proper operation of the inertia reel » page 139.
■
The seat belts must not be removed or changed in any way. Do not attempt to repair the seat belts yourself.
■
Check the condition of all the seat belts on a regular basis. If damage to
the parts of the seat belt system (e.g. the strap, the belt connectors, the
retractor, the lock or similar) are detected, the seat belt in question must
be replaced by a specialist immediately.
■
Seat belts which have been subject to stress in an accident should be replaced by a specialist garage. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.
WARNING

It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the
maximum protection.
The shoulder belt should be positioned approximately over the middle of your
shoulder (under no circumstances across your neck) and lie flush to the
chest» fig. 4 - .
The lower part of the belt should run across the pelvis (it should not lie on top
of the stomach) and must always fit snugly» fig. 4 - .
For pregnant women, the lower part of the belt must be positioned as low
down as possible across the pelvis, to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower abdomen» fig. 4 - .

WARNING
■
Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Seat
belts that are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in
minor accidents.
■
A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your body is
moved forward by the kinetic energy produced in an accident and is then
suddenly held firm by the belt.
■
The belt webbing must not run across solid or fragile objects (e.g. pencils,
spectacles, pens, keys etc.). Such objects can cause injury.

Automatic belt retractors and belt tensioners
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Automatic belt retractors 17
Belt tensioners 17
Automatic belt retractors
Each seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel.
When pulling slowly on the seat belt, the belt can move freely. When pulling
sharply on the seat belt, the movement is locked by the automatic belt retractor. The belts also block when full braking occurs, when the car accelerates,
when driving downhill and when cornering.
WARNING
If the seat belt does not lock when pulling sharply on it, have it inspected
immediately by a specialist garage.
Belt tensioners
Safety for the driver and front passenger wearing their seat belts is enhanced
by the belt tensioners fitted to the automatic belt retractors of the front seat
belts.
If there is a collision of a certain severity, the seat belts are tightened by the
belt tensioner so that any unwanted body motion is prevented.
Belt tensioners are not activated in the event of minor collisions, in the case
of a roll-over and also not in accidents in which no major forces are produced.
Seat belts
17
WARNING
■
Any work on the belt tensioner system, including the removal and installation of system components because of other repair work, must only be
carried out by a specialist garage.
■
If the belt tensioners have been deployed, it is then necessary to replace
the entire system.
Notice
■
The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.
■
Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This indicates
there is no fire in the vehicle.

Safety instructions 20
As a supplement to the seat belts, the airbag system provides additional occupant protection during severe frontal and side-on collisions.
The airbag will only provide optimum protection in conjunction with wearing
the seat belt, the airbag is not a substitute for the seat belts.
The functional status of the airbag system is indicated by the warning light
in the instrument cluster » page 37.

Head airbags
Front airbags - the forward thrust of the driver and of the front passenger is
cushioned when they make contact with the fully-inflated airbag, and the risk
of injury to head and chest is thus reduced.
The front airbags can be identified by the lettering
featured on the steer-
ing wheel and on the dash panel on the passenger side.
Driver´s knee airbag - The forward movement of the body is cushioned when
it makes contact with the fully inflated airbag, and the risk of injury to the legs
of the driver is thus reduced.
The knee airbag is provided with the lettering
on the dashboard on the
driver's side.
Side airbags - The load of the occupants is cushioned when plunged into the
fully inflated airbag. The risk of injury to the entire upper body (chest, stomach
and pelvis) is reduced on the side facing the door.
The side air bags are marked by a label with the lettering
seat backrests. The rear side airbags are provided with the lettering
on the front
in be-
tween the entrance area and the rear seat backrest.
Head airbags - The forward movement of the body is cushioned when it
makes contact with the fully inflated airbag, and the risk of injury to head and
chest is thus reduced.
The head airbags are provided with the lettering
marked on the B-pillar
cladding.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts.
▶
Individual airbags.

Airbag deployment
Fig. 8 Inflated airbags
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
When triggered, the airbag fills with gas and unfolds. The inflation of the airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
When the airbag inflates, smoke is released. This is not a sign of a fire in the
vehicle.
Triggering conditions
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. The important factors here are the hardness of the object with which the vehicle collides, the angle of impact, vehicle
speed etc.
A decisive factor in the deployment of the airbags is the degree of deceleration
at the time. If the vehicle deceleration that occurs is measured during the collision remains below the prescribed reference values specified in the control
unit, the airbags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe
damage to the bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
▶
Driver’s front airbag.
▶
Front passenger airbag.
▶
Driver’s knee airbag.

The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision.
▶
Front side airbag.
▶
Rear side airbag.
▶

The following events occur when an airbag deploys.
▶
The hazard warning lights are switched on.
▶
All the doors are unlocked.
▶
The fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.
▶
The interior light comes on (if the automatic operation of the interior light is
switched on - position ).
When there is no air bag deployment?
With minor frontal and side collisions, rear collision, overturning of the vehicle
or vehicle roll-over there is no airbag deployment.
Safety instructions
Fig. 9
Safe distance from the steering
wheel and dash panel
WARNING
General information
■
The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer optimum protection
if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 12.
■
The airbag unleashes enormous force when triggered, which can lead to
serious injuries or fatalities if the driver and passengers are not seated
properly. This applies in particular to children who are transported without
using a suitable child safety seat » page 25.
■
If there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a specialist garage. Otherwise, there is a risk of the airbag not being activated in
the event of an accident.
WARNING (Continued)
■
If the airbag has been deployed, the airbag system must then be replaced.
■
In the area of the front airbag and the knee airbag, the surface of the
steering wheel and the dashboard should be cleaned using only a dry cloth
or one that has been dampened with water.
WARNING
Information about the front airbags
■
For the driver and front passenger, it is important to maintain a distance
of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel or the panel » fig. 9 - A, If you do
not keep this distance, it means that the airbag system will not be able to
protect you - There is a risk to life! The front seats and the headrests must
always also be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.
■
It is essential to switch off the front passenger airbag if using a child seat
in which the child is seated on the front passenger seat, with its back facing the travel direction » page 21, Deactivating airbags. If this is not
done, there is a risk of the child suffering severe or even fatal injuries if the
front passenger airbag is deployed.
■
No other persons, animals or objects should be placed in front of the occupants in the front seats in the deployment area of the front airbags.
■
The steering wheel and the surface of the dash panel on the passenger
side must not be plastered, covered or modified in any way. No parts (e.g.
cup holders, mobile phone mounts etc.) may be mounted near the airbag
installation points and in the airbag deployment area.
■
Never place objects on the surface of the dash panel on the passenger
side.
WARNING
Information about knee airbags
■
Adjust the driver's seat in a forward/back direction so that there is a gap
of at least 10 cm between the legs and the dashboard in the vicinity of the
knee airbag» fig. 9 - B. If it is not possible to meet this requirement due to
your body size, visit a specialist garage.
■
The surface of the airbag module in the lower part of the dashboard below the steering column cannot have stickers attached, be covered or
modified in any other way. Nothing may be attached to the cover of the airbag module or located within the immediate vicinity.
■
Do not attach any bulky and heavy objects (bunch of keys etc.) to the ignition key. These can be ejected by the knee airbag when it is deployed and
can cause injuries.
20
Safety
WARNING
Information on side and head airbags
■
No objects (e.g. sun visors turned towards the windows) should be located in the deployment area of the side and head airbags. No accessories
(e.g. cup holders etc.) should be fitted to the doors - There is a risk of injury!
■
Hang only light clothing on the hooks in the vehicle, do not leave any
heavy or sharp objects in the pockets. Do not use hangers to hang up
clothes.
■
The airbag system operates using pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason, no adjustments may be carried out to the doors or
door panels (e.g. installation of additional loudspeakers). Further information » page 133.
■
No excessive force, e.g. through blows, kicks etc. should be applied to the
seat backrests - there is a risk of damage to the side airbags. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
■
Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passenger seats must only be of a type expressly authorised by ŠKODA AUTO. In
view of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use
of non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the
protective function of the side airbag.
■
Any damage to the original seat covers or stitching at the installation
points for the side airbags should be immediately repaired by a specialist
company.
WARNING
Information on the use of the airbag system
■
Any work on the airbag system, including the installation and removal of
system components due to other repair work (e.g. removal of the steering
wheel), must only be carried out by a specialist garage. Further information
» page 133.
■
No changes of any sort should be made to parts of the airbag system, the
front bumper or the bodywork.
■
Do not manipulate individual parts of the airbag system, as this might result in the airbag being deployed.

Transporting children safely
Child seat
Introduction
To reduce the risk of injury in an accident, children should only be transported
in child seats!
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat 24
Use of a child seat on the front seat 24
Child safety and the side airbag 25
Classification of child seats 25
Use of child safety seats which are secured using a seat belt 25
Please refer to the instructions in this Owner's Manual and the child seat manufacturer's instructions with regard to the installation and use of the child
seat.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always transport children in the
rear seats. Only transport a child in the passenger seat in exceptional circumstances.
Child seats complying with the ECE-R 44 Economic Commission for Europe
standard must be used.
Child seats that comply with the ECE-R 44 standard have a test seal that cannot be removed: a large E within a circle with the test number below.
WARNING
■
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
■
When leaving the vehicle, do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
In an emergency, they might not be able to get out of the vehicle on their
own or to help themselves. There is a risk to life at very high or very low
temperatures!
■
The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire travelling time!
Otherwise, in the event of an accident, the child would be thrown through
the vehicle and as a result may suffer fatal injuries, and also injure other occupants.
WARNING (Continued)
■
Children are exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident if they lean forward or adopt an incorrect seated position when the
vehicle is moving. This particularly applies to children who are transported
on the front passenger seat as they can suffer severe or even fatal injuries
if the airbag system is deployed!
■
Pay particular attention to the information provided by the manufacturer
of the child safety seat regarding the correct routing of the belt. Seat belts
which are not correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries even in minor accidents.
■
Safety belts must be checked to ensure that they are running properly.
One should also ensure that the belt is not damaged by sharp-edged fittings.
■
When installing the child seat on the back seat, the corresponding front
seat must be adjusted so that there is no contact between the front seat
and the child seat or the child being transported in a child seat.
■
When installing a child seat in which the child faces forward, adjust the
headrests so that they are as high as possible.
■
If the headrests still prevent the child seat from being installed, even in
the highest position, you will need to remove them » page 75. After removing the child seat, refit the headrests.
Notice
We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
These child seats were developed and also tested for use in ŠKODAvehicles.
They meet the ECE-R 44 standard.

In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the windscreen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage both the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
■
Carefully separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and
free from snow and ice.
■
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.
■
Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the windscreen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away
the obstacle five times. The wipers then stop to prevent themselves from being damaged. Only switch the wipers on again after the obstacle has been removed.

Notice
■
Each time the ignition switches off for the third time, the position of the
windscreen wipers changes. This counteracts an early fatigue of the wiper rubbers.

When transporting heavy objects, the driving characteristics change due to the
shift in the centre of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted
accordingly.
When transporting cargo, the following the instructions must be followed
▶
Distribute the load evenly in the luggage compartment and secure it with
suitable lashing straps to the lashing eyes or fixing nets so that they cannot
slip.
▶
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
▶
The tyre pressure must be adapted to the load.
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.

■
Always distribute the load on the roof rack evenly and secure properly
with suitable lashing straps or tensioning straps.
■
When transporting heavy objects or objects which take up a large area on
the roof rack system, the handling of the car may change as a result of the
displacement of the centre of gravity. The style of driving and speed must
therefore be adapted to the current circumstances.
■
The permissible roof load, permissible axle loads and gross permissible
weight of the vehicle must not be exceeded under any circumstances – risk
of accident!
CAUTION
■
Make sure that the sliding / tilting roof or the boot lid does not collide with
the roof load when opened.

Heating and ventilation
Heating, manual air conditioning system, Climatronic
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Heating and manual air conditioning 95
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning) 96
Climatronic - automatic operation 97
Recirculation mode 97
Air discharge nozzles 98
The heater heats and ventilates the vehicle interior. The air conditioning system also cools and dehumidifies the vehicle interior.
The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat
output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
The cooling system works under the following conditions.
The cooling system is switched on.
The engine is running.
The outside temperature is above 2 °C.
The blower is switched on.
When the cooling system is switched on, it prevents misting of the windscreen
and windows.
It is possible to boost the effectiveness of the cooling system by briefly activating the air recirculation system» page 97.
Protecting health
To reduce health risks (e.g. common colds), the following instructions for the
use of the cooling system are to be observed.
▶
The difference between the outside temperature and the inside temperature
should not be greater than 5 °C.
▶
The cooling system should be turned off about 10 minutes before the end of
the journey.
▶
Once a year, the air conditioning should be disinfected by a specialist garage.
WARNING
■
The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there is a risk of an accident.
■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Notice
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.
■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
At high coolant temperature, the cooling system is switched off, to ensure
the engine cooling.

When the function is switched on, the indicator light in the button lights up.
After the cooling system is switched off, only the ventilation function remains
active whereby the minimum temperature that can be reached is the outside
temperature.
Setting temperature
The interior temperature for the left and right side can be set separately or together.
The temperature for both sides, is set by turning the knob A » fig. 116 (the
warning light in the button
is not illuminated).
The temperature for the right side is adjusted by turning the knob D (the
warning light in the button
is illuminated).
The temperature for the left side is adjusted by turning the knob A (the
warning light in the button
is illuminated).
At a temperature setting below 18 ° C at the start of the numerical scale, the
symbol will illuminate. Climatronic is using Maximum cooling performance.
At a temperature setting above 26 ° C at the end of the numerical scale, the
symbol will illuminate. Climatronic is using maximum heat output.
There is no automatic temperature control in the two end positions. In the
range between 18 °C to 26 °C, automatic temperature control takes place.

Using the system
Controlling blower
The Climatronic system controls the blower stages automatically in line with
the interior temperature. However, the blower stages can be manually adapted to suit your particular needs.
If the blower speed is reduced to a minimum, Climatronic is switched off.
The set blower speed is displayed above the button when the respective
number of indicator lights come on.
CAUTION
Do not cover the interior temperature sensor B » fig. 116 - the function of the
Climatronic could be affected.
Notice
■
As soon as the windscreen mists up, press the symbol key . Press the
button once the windscreen has demisted.
■
In order to ensure adequate thermal comfort, there may be an increase in en-
gine idle speed during operation of the Climatronic in some circumstances.
Climatronic - automatic operation

When pressing
and the indicator 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
conditioning system is reduced particularly if the vehicle is fully occupied.
By pressing the button
Automatic mode can be switched off by pressing one of the buttons for the air
distribution or by increasing/decreasing the blower speed. Temperature regulation is continued.

Recirculation mode
Read and observe on page 95 first.
The recirculated-air mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the
interior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior
of the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.

peatedly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
Climatronic can have a sensor that automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recirculated air mode is automatically switched off.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air
mode in the event of an unpleasant odour, you can switch it on yourself by
pressing the button . The warning light illuminates in the button on the left
side.
To turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recircula-
tion, press the
warning lights in the button go out.
WARNING
The recirculation system cannot be switched on for a longer period of time,
because no fresh air is fed through from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as windows mist up, turn on the recirculation system immediately - The is a risk of an accident!

CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from the interior is deposited on the evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air
conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Notice
Climatronic automatic air distribution operates only if the outside temperature
is higher than approx. 2 °C.
