materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new cars

Materials defect liability

Your ŠKODA Partner, as a vendor, is liable to you for material damage to your new ŠKODA car, ŠKODA Genuine Parts or ŠKODA Genuine Accessories in accordance with statutory regulations and the purchase agreement.

ŠKODA warranty for new cars

As well as the materials defect liability, ŠKODA AUTO grants you the ŠKODA warranty for new cars (hereinafter referred to as “ŠKODA warranty),” according to the conditions described below.

As part of the ŠKODA warranty, ŠKODA AUTO will provide the following services.

▶

Free repair of faulty components or vehicle defects that occur within two years from the start of the ŠKODA warranty.

▶

Free repair of paintwork defects on your vehicle that occur within three years from the start of the ŠKODA warranty.

▶

Free repair of corrosion caused by rust on the bodywork of your vehicle that occurs within twelve years from the start of the warranty. Only corrosion of body panels from the inside to the outside is included in the definition of corrosion caused by rust on the bodywork and covered by the ŠKODA warranty.

The start of warranty is the date on which the new car is handed over to the initial purchaser by the ŠKODA Partner1). This date must be noted down by the ŠKODA Partner in the Owner's Manual for your vehicle » in the section on the documentation of the vehicle handover.

Vehicle repairs may be carried out either by replacing the faulty part or by repairing it. Replaced parts become the property of the ŠKODA Service Partner.

There shall be no further claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty. In particular, there shall be no claims for replacement, cancellation, provision of a courtesy vehicle for the duration of repairs or compensation for damages.

If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA Partner in a country of the European Economic Area (i.e. the countries of the European Union, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) or in Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty must also be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner in one of these countries.

If your ŠKODA vehicle was purchased from a ŠKODA Partner outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, claims arising from the ŠKODA warranty must also be made through a ŠKODA Service Partner outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

A prerequisite for carrying out work under the ŠKODA warranty is that all service work has been carried out in a timely and technically correct manner and in accordance with the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions. It must be proven that service work has been carried out properly and in accordance with the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions when making a claim on the ŠKODA warranty. In the event of a missed service or failure to carry out a service according to the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions, you may still be entitled to warranty claims as long as you can prove that the missed service or the failure to carry out a service according to the ŠKODA AUTO's provisions was not the cause of the defect.

Natural wear and tear to your vehicle is not covered by the ŠKODA warranty. The ŠKODA warranty also does not cover faults to bodywork, installations or conversions provided by third parties, or vehicle faults caused as a result. The same applies to accessories that were not installed and/or delivered ex-factory.

In addition, this warranty does not apply if the defect was caused by one of the following.

▶

Unauthorised use, improper handling (e.g. use in racing competitions or overloading), improper care and maintenance or unauthorised modifications to your vehicle.

▶

Non-compliance with instructions in the Owner's Manual or other factorysupplied instructions.

▶

External causes or influences (e.g. accidents, hail, flooding etc.).



Due to the requirements of the generally binding country-specific regulations, the date of first registration can be given instead of the date of the vehicle handover.

materials defect liability and ŠKODA warranty for new cars

▶

Parts fitted on or in the vehicle, whose use has not been approved by ŠKODA AUTO, or modification of the vehicle in a manner not approved by ŠKODA AUTO (e.g. tuning).

▶

Damage caused by you that was not immediately seen to by a specialist garage or was not rectified properly.

It is the customer's responsibility to prove that s/he is not the cause of the damage.

This ŠKODA warranty does not affect the purchaser's statutory rights from materials defect liability from the vehicle vendor and other potential claims from product liability laws.

Mobility warranty

The mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.

If your vehicle ever breaks down on the road due to an unexpected failure, services to keep you moving can be provided for you under the mobility guarantee, which include the following services: Breakdown at the roadside and towing to ŠKODA service partners, technical assistance on the phone or onsite commissioning.

If your vehicle is not repaired on the same day, the ŠKODA Service Partner may provide further services as required, such as replacement transportation (bus, train etc.) or a courtesy vehicle etc.

More information regarding terms and conditions for the provision of a mobility warranty for your vehicle can be obtained from your ŠKODA Partner. They will also provide you with detailed terms and conditions for the mobility warranty with respect to your vehicle. In the event that there is no mobility warranty coverage in place for your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA Service Partner about the possibility of a supplementary agreement.

Optional ŠKODA Extended warranty

If you opted for a ŠKODA extended warranty when purchasing your new car, the two-year ŠKODA warranty with regards to all free warranty repairs is extended by the period you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been reached, whichever occurs first.

The paint warranty and the warranty against corrosion described above are unaffected by the ŠKODA extended warranty.

The ŠKODA extended warranty does not apply to external and internal foils. The information on the detailed conditions of the ŠKODA extended warranty is

provided by your ŠKODA partner.

Note

The ŠKODA extended warranty is only available in some countries.

Safety

WARNING

■

The front seats and all head restraints must be adjusted to match the body size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to provide the most effective levels of protection to the passengers.

■

Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat. Children must be fastened » page 21, Transporting children safely with a suitable restraint system.

■

The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this will impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of injury!

WARNING

By sitting incorrectly, the occupant is risking life-threatening injuries.

The correct seating position for the driver



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 dash panel at the height 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, you could sustain serious injuries to the arms, hands and head if the airbag is activated.

■

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 acceleration pedals.

Seat belts

Using seat belts

Introduction



This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Correct routing of seat belt 14

Fastening and unfastening seat belts 14 Seat belt for the rear middle seat 15

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 the kinetic energy (energy of motion) 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 21, Transporting children safely.

WARNING

■

Fasten seat belts before every ride! This also applies to other passengers

- there is a danger of injury!

■

Maximum seat belt protection is only achieved if you are correctly seated

» page 10, 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

Information on the proper use of safety belts

■

Adjust the height of the belt in such a way that the shoulder part of the belt is roughly positioned across the middle of your shoulder - on no account across your neck.

■

No two persons (also not children) should ever use a single seat belt together.

■

The lock 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) do not allow you to be correctly seated 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 seat backrests are correctly locked into position » page 72.

WARNING

Information on the care and maintenance of safety belts

■

The belt webbing must always be kept clean. Soiled belt webbing may impair proper operation of the inertia reel » page 138.

■

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 immediately by a specialist.

■

Seat belts which have been subjected to stress in an accident should be replaced by a specialist garage. The anchorage points for the belts should also be checked.

Seat belts

Correct routing of seat belt

Fig. 4 Routing of belt webbing over the shoulders and the lap belt/Routing of belt webbing for an expectant mother

Fig. 5 Seat belt height adjusters for front seats

Read and observe on page 13 first.



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 (on no account 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 - .

Seat belt height adjusters for front seats

Push the return pulley upwards in the direction of arrow » Fig. 5 - .

›

Or: push together the mechanism in the direction of arrows 1 and push the

›

return pulley downwards in the direction of arrow 2 » Fig. 5 - . Then pull firmly on the belt to ensure that the seat belt height adjuster has

›

correctly locked in place.

WARNING

■

Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Seat belts which 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.

Fastening and unfastening seat belts

Fig. 6 Fastening/unfastening the seat belt

Read and observe



Before fastening the belt

Adjust the headrest properly (does not apply to seats with integrated headr-

›

ests). Adjust the seat (applies to the front seats).

›

Adjust the belt height (applies to the front seats).

›

Fasten

Use the lock tongue to slowly pull the webbing over your chest and pelvis.

›

on page 13 first.



Safety

Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle » Fig. 6 –  that is part of the seat

›

until it clicks into place. Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.

›

Release

Grip the lock tongue and press the red button in the buckle » Fig. 6 - , the

›

lock tongue pops out. Guide the belt back by hand so that the seat belt does not twist and the

›

webbing rolls up fully.

WARNING

The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked otherwise the belt tongue will not lock in place properly.

Seat belt for the rear middle seat

Read and observe



The seat belt for the rear middle seat is anchored in the area of the boot on the left side of the headliner.

Fasten

Pull the belt with both lock tongues out of the headliner mount.

›

Insert the lock tongue at the end of the belt into the belt buckle on the left

›

side until it is heard to lock in place. Pull the second lock tongue, which is moveable on the seat belt, over the

›

chest and insert it into the belt buckle on the right side until it is heard to lock in place. Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.

›

The lock tongue of the belt is shaped differently so that it only fit into the respective belt buckle. If you are not able to insert a lock tongue into the wrong belt lock you probably tried to put it into the wrong buckle.

Release

Take off the safety belt in the reverse order to how you fasten it.

›

Guide the belt back by hand so that the seat belt does not twist and the

›

webbing rolls up fully.

on page 13 first.

WARNING

■

After releasing the seat belt hold it tight and let it slowly reel up until both lock tongues lock into the headliner mount and are secured with a magnet - there is a risk of injury.

■

Never unlock the two buckle tongues at the same time -There is a risk of injury.

■

The slot of the belt tongue must not be blocked otherwise the belt tongue will not lock in place properly.

Inertia reels and belt tensioners

Introduction



This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Inertia reel

Belt tensioners 15

Inertia reel

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 inertia reel. The belts also lock when full braking, 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 inertia reels of the front three-point seat belts.

If there is a collision of a certain severity, the seat belts are tightened by the belt tensioner so that 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

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.

Note

■

The belt tensioners can also be deployed if the seat belts are not fastened.

■

Smoke is generated when the belt tensioners are deployed. This is not an in-

dication of a fire in the vehicle.

The airbag system provides, as a supplement to the seat belts, 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  indicator light in the instrument cluster » page 36.

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 which occurs and 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.



Airbag system

The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision.

▶

Front side airbag.

▶

Rear side airbag.

▶

Head airbag.

When an airbag is deployed, the following events occur.

▶

The hazard warning lights are switched on.

▶

All 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 dashboard

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 cannot protect you

- there is a risk to life! The front seats and the head restraints must always also be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.

■

The front passenger airbag must be deactivated if using a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat » page 19, Airbag deactivation. 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 dashboard on the passenger side must not be stickered, covered or modified in any way. No parts (e.g. cup holders, mobile phone mounts and the like) may be mounted near the airbag installation points and in the airbag deployment area.

■

Never place objects on the surface of the dashboard on the passenger side.

WARNING

General information

■

The seat belts and the airbag system can only offer optimum protection

if the driver and passengers are seated properly » page 10.

■

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 23.

■

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.

Safety

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 dash panel below the steering column not 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.



WARNING

Information about for 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 an 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 the 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). Additional information » page 132.

■

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. Additional information » page 132.

■

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 22

Use of a child seat on the front passenger seat 22 Child safety and the side airbag 23 Classification of child seats 23 Use of child safety seats which are secured using a seat belt 23

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 on the rear seats. Only transport a child on 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 are identified with a test mark 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. Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!

■

The child must be secured in the vehicle during the entire journey! Otherwise, the child would be thrown through the vehicle in the event of an accident, causing fatal injuries to both the child and 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 head restraints 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 73. After removing the child seat, refit the head restraints.

Note

We recommend that you use child seats from ŠKODA Original Accessories. These child seats were developed and also tested for use in ŠKODA vehicles. They meet the ECE-R 44 standard.

WARNING

■

Always adjust the speed and driving style to the actual weather, road, ter-

rain and traffic conditions.

■

The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact with flammable materials, such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel or the like.

CAUTION

■

As long as the warning light  illuminates, one must take into account an

increased fuel consumption and a power reduction of the engine.

■

Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce

the life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.

Note

We encourage you to avoid constant short journeys. This will improve the combustion process of the soot particles in the diesel particulate filter.

This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Windscreen wipers and washers

Rear windscreen wipers and washers 65 Headlight cleaning system 66

The windscreen wipers and the wash system only operate if the ignition is switched on and the bonnet and boot are closed1).

WARNING

Do not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.

CAUTION

■

If the windscreen wipers are in rest position, they cannot be folded out from the windscreen. The wipers must be set to the service position to raise them off the windscreen » page 166.

■

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.



On vehicles which do not have a contact switch for the bonnet, the windshield wiper and wash system operates also when the bonnet is opened.

Using the system

Note

■

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.

■

The windscreen washer nozzles for the windscreen are heated when the engine is running and the outside temperature is less than +10 °C.

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 instructions must be adhered to

▶

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.

▶

Tyre pressure should be adjusted for 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.

WARNING

■

Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners, nets, hooks etc. If heavy objects have not been suitably secured, there is a risk of injury!

■

Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of the vehicle – There is a risk of an accident!

■

An unsecured dirt or improperly attached load could slip during a sudden manoeuvre or in an accident - There is a risk of injury!

■

Loose cargo could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!

■

When transporting loads in the luggage compartment that has been enlarged by folding one of the rear seats forward, care should be taken to ensure the safety of passengers transported on the other rear seat.

CAUTION

■

Never exceed the maximum permissible load of the respective fasteners,

nets, hooks, etc. - these could be damaged.

■

Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not

damaged as a result of abrasive objects.

■

Do not place sharp objects in the nets and storage compartments in the lug-

gage compartment - there is a risk of damage to the net as well as the compartments.

■

Put the items in the storage compartments carefully and do not put point-

shaped objects - there is a risk of damage to the compartments.

Climatronic (automatic air conditioning) 94 Climatronic - automatic operation 95 Air distribution control 96 Air outlet vents 96

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 96.

Health protection

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, a disinfection of the air conditioner is to be carried out by a specialist company.



Heating and ventilation

WARNING

■

The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.

Otherwise there is a risk of 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.

Note

■

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!

■

If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to ensure that the engine cools down.

Auxiliary heating (auxiliary heating and ventilation)

Introduction



This chapter contains information on the following subjects: Switch on / off

System settings 98 Remote control 99

The aux. heating heats the vehicle interior as well as the engine. For heating, fuel is consumed from the fuel tank.

The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior with the engine switched off, whereby the interior temperature is effectively decreased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).

The aux. heating (aux. heating and ventilation) (referred to just as aux. heating in the following) ensures the heating / ventilation depending on the setting of the air conditioning and the air outlet vents before switching off the ignition.

WARNING

■

The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-

es) – There is a risk of poisoning!

■

The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk

of fire.

■

The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of the vehicle. If you want to use the auxiliary heating, do not park the car in places where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - risk of fire.

CAUTION

The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly.

Heating and ventilation

Note

■

The aux. heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant

temperature of approx. 50 °C.

■

In the engine compartment, water vapour may form during the operation of

the aux. heating.

After switching off the system, the coolant pump and the aux. heating will continue running a little while longer in order to burn the remaining fuel in the heating.

For vehicles with gasoline engines, the automatic switching on and off of the heater can be disabled in a specialist workshop.
