Mobile phone, two-way radio system and
navigation system
Universal telephone connecti on at the front* (GSM II)
A telephone mount is factory-fitted. The mount is attached to the
centre console. Adapter (Cullmann) and mobile phone are not
factory-fitted by Škoda Auto. Initialisation
– Withdraw the ignition key.
– First insert the adapter without the mobile phone into the
mount in the direction of arrow ⇒fig. 129 until the
adapter is touching the stop. Press the adapter slightly in the
direction of arrow until it locks into position.
– Plug the adapter cable into the mobile phone socket. The socket is located on the mobile phone mount below.
– Switch on the ignition.
– Wait approximately 20 seconds, switch off the ignition and pull the ignition key out of the ignition lock.
– Insert the mobile phone into the adapter (as specified in manufacturer's instructions) and switch on the ignition.
Removing the mobile phone and adapter
– Press the button and remove the mobile telephone.
An initialisation must be carried out:
•after the first connection of the adapter,
•after reconnecting the battery,
•after pulling out the adapter cable from the power socket for the mobile
phone.
This enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone
(“handsfree system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal
transmission of signals using an external aerial etc.). The battery of the
mobile phone is also constantly charged.Fig. 129 Universal

•after pulling out the adapter cable from the power socket for the mobile
phone.
This enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone
(“handsfree system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal
transmission of signals using an external aerial etc.). The battery of the
mobile phone is also constantly charged.
A telephone mount is factory-fitted for the front mobile phone and for the
rear mobile phone. The front telephone mount is located on the front
centre console ⇒page 145, fig. 130 , the rear on the rear centre console
⇒ page 145, fig. 131 . Adapter (Cullmann) and mobile phone are not
factory-fitted by Škoda Auto.
Please also refer to the additional instructions ⇒page 146, “Mobile
phones and two-way radio systems”.
Note
For technical reasons it is not possible to use simultaneously the front and
rear mobile phone. Ensure that the adapter is always inserted only in
the bracket .
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.
The operation of commercially available mobile phones or two-way radio
systems may cause operational problems in the electronic systems of
your car. 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 aer ial, or with an external aerial
which has been incorrectly installed, the result can be excessive
electromagnetic fields which ma y 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.

Basic information
Driving the safe way
Passive safety measures reduce the risk of injury in acci-
dent situations.
In this section you will find important information, tips and notes on the
subject of passive safety in your vehicle. We have combined everything
here which you should be familiar with, for example, regarding seat belts,
airbags, child seats and safety of children. It is therefore important, in
particular, to comply with the notes and warnings in this section for your
own interest and in the interest of those travelling with you.
WARNING
•This chapter contains important information on how to use the
vehicle for the driver and his occupants. You will find further infor-
mation on safety, which concerns you and those travelling with
you, in the following chapters of this Owner's Manual.
•The complete on-board literature should always be in the
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:
•three-point seat belts for all the seats,*
•belt force limiter for front and side rear seats,*
•belt tensioner for front and side rear seats,*
•seat belt height adjuster for front seats,*
•front airbags,*
•side airbags,*
•head airbags*,
•anchoring points for child seat using the “ISOFIX” system,*
•head restraint adjustable for height,*
•adjustable steering column.
The specified safety equipment works together, in order to optimally
protect you and those travelling with you in accident situations. The safety
equipment does not protect you or the people travelling with you, if you or
your occupants adopt an incorrect seated position or the equipment is not
correctly adjusted or used.

For this reason you will be provided with information on why this equip-
ment is very important, how it protects you and the occupants, what
should be observed when using the equipment and how you and the
people travelling with you can make full use of the existing safety equip-
ment. This Owner's Manual contains important warning notes, which you
and those travelling with you should pay attention to in order to reduce a
risk of injury.
Safety concerns everybody!
Before setting off
The driver is always fully responsible for his occupants
and for the operating safety of the vehicle.
For your own safety and the safety of the people travelling with you,
please pay attention to the following points before setting off.
•Ensure that the lighting and the turn signal system are functioning
properly.
•Inspect the tyre inflation pressure.
•Ensure that all the windows offer a good visibility to the outside.
•Safely attach the items of luggage ⇒page 82, “Loading the luggage
compartment”.
•Ensure that no objects can obstruct the pedal.
•Adjust the mirror, the front seat and the head restraint to match your
body size.
•Point out to your occupants that the head restraints must be adjusted
to match their body size.
•Protect the children in suitable child seats with correctly fastened seat
belts ⇒page 174, “Transporting children safely”.
•Adopt the correct seated position ⇒page 151. Also inform your occu-
pants to adopt the correct seated position.
•Fasten the seat belt correctly. Also inform your occupants to properly
fasten the seat belts ⇒page 158, “How are seat belts correctly
fastened?”.
What influences the driving safety?
The driving safety is primarily determined by the style of
driving and the personal behaviour of all the occupants.
The driver is fully responsible for himself and his occupants. If your driving
safety is effected, you place yourself and the oncoming traffic at risk.
Please refer to the following guidelines.
•Do not get distracted from concentrating on the traffic situation, e.g. by
your occupants or mobile phone calls.
•Never drive when your driving ability is impaired, e.g. through medica-
tion, alcohol, drugs.
•Keep to the traffic regulations and the permissible speed limit.
•Adjust the driving speed at all times to the road condition as well as to
the traffic and weather conditions.
•Take regular breaks on long journeys - at the latest every two hours.
