Auxiliary heater
The auxiliary heating system allows us to set the
optimal climate conditions in the vehicle interior
using the heating or ventilation mode so that the
vehicle interior is already heated, if necessary
ventilated, before entering the vehicle.

Combustion conditions
The auxiliary heater is a heating system that
burns fuel. During this process, energy is re-
leased in the form of heat, which subsequently
heats the liquid in the cooling circuit of the vehicle.

In the Škoda vehicles, the combustion unit of the Thermo Top V auxiliary heater is located in front of
the wheel house of the front right wheel. The unit is attached to the lower longitudinal beam by means
of a support bracket.

SP79_17
Set the current weekday as well as the running
time of the auxiliary heater in the range of 5–60
minutes and set the heating or ventilation
mode using the entry mode.
The LED indicator light on the dash panel of the heating and air conditioning system notifies if the aux-
iliary heater is switched on or the activation period is programmed. The indicator light comes on when
the auxiliary heater is switched on. If the activation period is programmed, the indicator light comes on
for about ten seconds after switching off the ignition.

A transmitter with a battery is located in the plastic housing of the miniature remote control. The
remote control has an ON button for switching on, an OFF button for switching off and an LED signal
diode for monitoring its condition (lights up green for 2 s = AH was activated; lights up red for 2 s = AH
was deactivated). In addition, the diode indicates the battery charge level and the reception of the
control signal from the remote control.
The remote control cannot be used inside the vehicle. If the AH should be switched on using the
remote control, we must respect a minimum distance of two metres from the vehicle in which the
auxiliary heating to be operated is installed. The range of the transmitter with a charged battery is up
to 600 m.
