Skoda Fabia: Storage compartments

Skoda Fabia Owners Manual

WARNING

• Do not place anything on the dash panel. These objects might slide or fall down while you are driving (under acceleration or when cornering) and could distract you from the traffic - there is a risk of an accident.
• Make sure that no objects from the centre console or from other storage compartments can get into the driver's footwell while you are driving. You would then no longer be able to apply the brakes or operate the clutch or accelerator pedal – there is a risk of an accident.

Cooling the storage compartment on the front passenger side

Fig. 84 Storage compartment: Using cooling system

• Use the rotary switch » Fig. 84 to open and close the air supply.

Opening the air supply when the air conditioning system is switched on allows cooled air to flow into the storage compartment.

Opening the air inlet when the air conditioning system is on causes fresh or interior air to flow into the storage compartment.

We recommend closing the air supply if it is operated in heating mode or the cooling system for the storage compartment is not being used.
