performed via the function buttons on the steering wheel ⇒page 164.
Furthermore the volume can be changed individually at any time with the
button for setting the radio or on vehicles fitted with multifunction steering
wheel* with function buttons on the steering wheel.
If the system answers with the voice response “ Telephone is not ready”,
please check the operating state of the telephone as follows:
•Is the telephone switched on?
•Is the PIN code entered?

devices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a jacket pocket, this can lead to
difficulties when establishing the Bluetooth connection with the handsfree-
system or the data transfer.

Mobile phones and two-way radio
systems
The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle
should only be carried out by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda Auto permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum
transmission power of up to 10 watts.
Our specialist garage is also happy to inform you about the possibilities
available for installing and operating mobile telephones and radio trans-
mitters which have an output greater than 10 watts. The Škoda dealers
can provide you with details about the technical possibilities for retrofitting
of mobile telephones and radio transmitters.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with
functioning of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this
may be:
•no external aerial
•external aerial incorrectly installed
•transmission power greater than 10 watts.
You should therefore not operate a mobile phone or two-way radio
system inside the vehicle without the use of an external aerial, or with
an external aerial which has been incorrectly installed. You should also be aware of the fact that only an
external aerial makes it
possible to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•If a mobile phone or two-way radio system is operated inside the
vehicle without using an external aerial, or with an external aerial
which has been incorrectly installed, the result can be excessive
electromagnetic fields which may cause harm to your health.
•Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around
you!
•You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or
mounts on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate
deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to the
occupants in the event of an accident.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and
two-way radio systems.

vehicle. This applies in particular, if you rent out or sell the
vehicle.
Safety equipment
The safety equipment is part of the occupant protection
and it can reduce the risk of injuries in accident situations.
“Do not put at risk” your safety and the safety of those travelling with you
. In the event of an accident, the safety equipment can reduce the risk of
injuries. The following list contains part of the safety equipment in your
vehicle:
