Hi all,

I've noticed that when I activate Air Care in my new Kamiq M/C there's a progress bar that goes across the screen and the check box remains checked. Next time I go into the A/C screen the check box is unchecked.

Read the manual, but it does not answer the following.

So what is the progress bar telling me? Why does Air Care not remain active all the time, I thought that would be something that should be ON all the time.

TIA

Can't help, not even sure if I have this.

Is this the feature which isolates cabin air from the outside world? If so it's logical that it times out after a period. Otherwise you end up breathing stale air.

I've read a bit more on this.

It seems:

Most Skoda's have air care

It automatic, the car turns it on if it thinks it's a good idea. (Based on input from a number of sensors.)

If you turn it on manually the car will turn it off after a while if it thinks it's not needed. (It's sensors don't agree with your nose for example. 😁)

Thanks for your replies.

So, is there a difference between turning ON Air Care and turning ON Recirculate Mode?

Yes, recirculate remains on until you switch it off or switch off engine.

Nearly all things that you turn on will turn off or set back to the default when you stop the engine.
