Bluetooth™*
The Bluetooth technology serves as cableless connection
of a mobile phone to a hands-free system of your vehicle.
In order to connect a mobile phone with Bluetooth to the hands-
free system, it is necessary to adapt the phone and the hands-
free system to each other. Detailed information on this is
provided in the operating instructions of your mobile phone. The
following essential steps for connecting the mobile phone must
be carried out:
– Switch on the ignition.
– If necessary switch on the mobile phone.

Communication
174
– Select the corresponding menu option on the mobile phone, which searches for suitable Bluetooth devices (hands-free
system).
– If the hands-free system on the display of the mobile tele- phone announces Skoda UHV, enter the PIN 1234 within 30
seconds and wait, until the connection is established.
9)
In the modern business world as well as within the private sector the
mobile communication gains increasingly on importance. Mobile phones
from different manufacturers can be connected with the hands-free
system by means of Bluetooth. During the connecting procedure, no other
mobile phone may be connected via Bluetooth with the hands-free
system.
Up to four mobile phones can be connected to the hands-free system by
means of Bluetooth, whereby only one mobile phone can communicate
via Bluetooth with the hands-free system. If a fifth mobile phone is
connected to the handsfree-system, then the telephone, which has not
been used together with the handsfree system for the longest period, is
disconnected.
Establishing the Bluetooth connection
After switching on the ignition, the Bluetooth connection is automatically
established for the already adapted mobile phone
9). You can hear an
increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
Disconnecting the Bluetooth connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth connection is dison-
nected. You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers
of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you
are fully responsible for the traffic safety. Use the telephone
system only to such an extent, so that you are in full control of your
vehicle at any time - risk of accident!
•In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth function of the hands-
free-system must be switched off by a specialist garage.
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to
interruption of the connection. When taking out the mobile phone, the
connection to the factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the
quality of the transmitting and receiving signal. This might result addition-
ally in harmful radiation from the mobile phone in the interior of the vehicle
and the charging of the telephone battery is interrupted.
Note
•Not valid for all mobile phones which enable a communication via
Bluetooth.
•Please operate your mobile phone exclusively with a suitable adapter,
in order to keep a low radiation in the vehicle.
•Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal
sending and receiving power and offers at the same time the advantage
of the battery charging.
•If you insert the mobile telephone into the adapter, the connection is
established via the interface in the adapter set and the Bluetooth connec-
tion is disconnected. You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the
loudspeakers of the vehicle.
•Note that the range of the Bluetooth connection to the handsfree-
system is limited to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local
factors, e.g. obstacles between the devices and interferences with other 9)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a
Bluetooth connection is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the au-
thorization is necessary, it must always be performed when re-establishing the
Bluetooth connection.

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.
•If you have set the Portuguese language in the information display, it
is used automatically for the mobile phone operation, as this is the
language, which was entered during coding of the handsfree-system.
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.

Electric fuses
Replacing fuses
Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are
located on the left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover
and under the cover in the engine compartment on the left.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component
affected.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel ⇒fig. 217 or the fuse cover in the engine compart-
ment ⇒page 289. – Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component
⇒page 293, “Fuse assignment in the dash panel” or
⇒ page 290, “Fuse assignment in engine compartment -
version 1” or ⇒page 291, “Fuse assignment in engine
compartment - version 2”.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the respective fuse and pull out this fuse.
– Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere
number.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you carry the box of replacement fuses with you
which was delivered in your vehicle. Replacement fuses 12) are available
at Škoda dealers.
