112 Using the system

All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehi-
cle can only be established with the help of the following profiles of Bluetooth
®
technology.
rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP profile,
the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, and communication with the
network is only enabled by the control unit via the vehicle's external aerial. In the
telephone only the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains active. In this case, you can
only use the mobile phone to disconnect from the hands-free system, deactivate
the Bluetooth ®
connection or dial the emergency number
112 (only valid in some
countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP profile,
the telephone continues to use its GMS module and the internal antenna to com-
municate with the GSM network. Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 107, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems. ÐConnecting the phone to the hands-free system
To connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, it is necessary to inter-
connect the telephone and hands-free system. Detailed information on this is
provided in the operating instructions for your mobile phone. The following steps
must be carried out for the connection.
Connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP profile
› Activate Bluetooth ®

and the visibility of your mobile phone on your telephone.
For certain mobile phones it is necessary to switch on first the rSAP function.
› Switch on the ignition.
› Select the menu
Phone - New user in the information display and wait until the
control unit has completed the search.
› Select your mobile phone from the menu of the units found.
› Within 30 seconds enter the 16-digit code that is shown on the information dis-
play and confirm it according to the instructions on the display of your mobile
phone. ›
If your SIM card is blocked by a PIN code, enter the PIN code for the SIM card in
your phone. The telephone connects to the hands-free system (during the first
connection you can only enter the PIN code in the information display when the
vehicle is stationary, as this is the only situation when you can choose whether
the PIN code should be stored).
› Follow the instructions in the information display, the first time a new user is
stored.
› Reconfirm the
rSAP command on your mobile phone to download the tele-
phone book and the identification data from the SIM card into the control unit.
Connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HPP profile
› Activate Bluetooth ®

and the visibility of your mobile phone on your telephone.
› Switch on the ignition.
› Select the menu
Phone - New user in the information display and wait until the
control unit has completed the search.
› Select your mobile phone from the menu of the units found.
› Within 30 seconds enter the 16-digit code that is shown on the information dis-
play and confirm it according to the instructions on the display of your mobile
phone.
› Follow the instructions on the information display and the mobile phone, to
store a new user or to download the telephone book and identification data
from the SIM card into the control unit.
The telephone primarily connects via the rSAP profile.
If the PIN code was stored, the telephone is automatically detected and connec-
ted with the hands-free system the next time the ignition is switched on. Check
your mobile phone to see whether this automatic connection has been establish-
ed.
Disconnecting the connection
› By removing the key from the ignition lock (the connection is disconnected dur-
ing a telephone call).
› By disconnecting the hands-free system in the mobile phone.
› By disconnecting the user in the information display in the menu
Bluetooth -
User - Select user - Disconnect.
On vehicles which are fitted with a radio or navigation system at the factory, it is
possible to terminate the telephone call after removing the key from the ignition
lock by pressing the button on the touchscreen of the radio 1)
or navigation sys-
tem; refer to the operating instructions for the radio or navigation system. £1)

Communication

›
Use the device that is to be connected to search for available Bluetooth ®
devi-
ces.
› Select the hands-free system (as standard “SKODA_BT”) from the list of found
devices.
› Enter the password on the device being connected and follow any instructions
given on this device or in the information display.
› Enter the desired Internet address in the Internet browser. The operating sys-
tem requests the entry of the telephone number for the internet access (de-
pending on the operator, usually
“*99#”). ÐVoice control
Dialogue
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice commands
and to carry them out is called a dialogue. The system gives audible feedback and
guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, to reduce or stop disturbing exterior
noise.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
› During the dialogue, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking
at the same time.
› Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and direc-
ted to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passen-
ger can operate the equipment.
Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous series of individually spo-
ken digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated
by short pauses). After each order of digits (separation through brief voice pause)
all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system. The digits 0 - 9
, symbols +, , # are permitted. The system detects no continuous
digit combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two,
three).

Regular and proper care help to retain the efficiency and value of your vehicle. It
may also be one of the requirements for the acceptance of warranty claims relat-
ing to corrosion damage and paint defects on the bodywork.
We recommend using care products from
ŠKODA Original Accessories that are
available from ŠKODA Service Partners. The instructions for use on the package
must be observed. WARNING
■ Care products may be harmful to your health if not used according to the in-
structions.
■ Always store care products in a safe place, out of the reach of children - risk
of poisoning! ■ When washing your vehicle in the winter: Water and ice in the brake system
can affect the braking efficiency - risk of accident! ■ Only wash the vehicle when the ignition is switched off - risk of accident!
■ Protect your hands and arms from sharp-edged metal parts when cleaning
the underfloor, the inside of the wheel housings or the wheel trims - risk of
cuts!
■ Air fresheners and scents can be hazardous to heath when the temperature
inside the vehicle is high. CAUTION
■ Be sure to check clothing for colourfastness to avoid any damage or visible
stains on the material (leather), panels and textiles.
■ Cleaners containing solvents can damage the material being cleaned.
■ Do not wash your vehicle in bright sunlight - risk of paint damage.
■ If washing the vehicle in the winter using a hose or high-pressure cleaner, en-
sure that the jet of water is not aimed directly at the locking cylinders or the
door/panel joints - risk of freezing!
■ Do not use any insect sponges, rough kitchen sponges or similar cleaning prod-
ucts - risk of damaging the surface of paintwork.
■ Do not stick any stickers on the inside of the rear windows, the rear side win-
dows and in the vicinity of the heating elements on the windscreen or near the
window aerial. These may get damaged. With regard to the antenna, they may in-
terfere with the radio or navigation system.
■ Do not clean the inside of the windows with sharp-edged objects or corrosive
and acidic cleaning agents - risk of damaging the heating elements or window
aerial.
■ Do not attach scents and air fresheners to the dashboard - risk of damage to
the dashboard.
■ To avoid damaging the parking aid sensors while cleaning with high-pressure
cleaners or steam jets, the sensors must only be directly sprayed for short periods
while a minimum distance of 10
cm must be observed.
■ Do not clean the roof trim with a brush - risk of damage to the trim surface. £
148 General Maintenance

De-icing windows and exterior mirrors
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 148.
Use a plastic ice scraper for removing snow and ice from the windows and mir-
rors. The ice scraper should not be moved forward and backward but in one direc-
tion to avoid any damage to the surface of the glass.
Clean the windows from the inside on a regular basis.
Dry the glass surfaces with a clean chamois leather or a cloth intended for this
purpose.
When drying the windows after washing the vehicle, do not use window leathers
that have been used to polish the bodywork. Residues of preservatives in the
window leather can dirty the window and reduce visibility. CAUTION
■ Never remove snow or ice from glass parts using warm or hot water - risk of for-
mation of cracks in the glass!
■ When removing snow or ice from windows and mirror lenses ensure that the
paintwork of the vehicle is not to damage.
■ Snow or ice that is contaminated with coarse dirt such as fine gravel, sand, and
salt must not be removed from the window glass and mirrors - risk of damage to
the surface of the windows and mirrors. ÐRadio reception and aerial
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 148.
Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio signal even
causing it to fail completely.
With factory-fitted radios and navigation systems, the aerial for the radio recep-
tion can be installed at different locations in the vehicle:
› on the inside of the rear window along with the rear window heater;
› on the inside of the rear side windows;
› on the inside of the windscreen;
› on the roof. Ð
ä
ä Headlight lenses
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 148.
Use soap and clean water to clean the plastic headlight lenses.
CAUTION
■ Never wipe the headlights dry and do not use any sharp objects to clean the
plastic lenses, this may damage the protective paintwork and consequently cause
the formation of cracks on the headlight lenses.
■ Do not use any aggressive cleaning or chemical solvent products to clean the
headlights - risk of damaging the headlight lenses. Ð Rubber seals
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 148.
The rubber seals on doors, the sliding roof and other windows remain smoother
and last longer if the seals are treated regularly with a suitable rubber care prod-
uct. This helps to prevent leakages and premature wear of the seals. Rubber
seals which are well cared for also do not stick together in cold winter weather.
Ð Door lock cylinders
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 148.
Specific products must be used for de-icing door lock cylinders.
Note
■ When washing your vehicle, ensure as little water as possible gets into the lock-
ing cylinders. ■ We recommend that suitable materials from ŠKODA Original Accessories are
used for maintaining the door lock cylinders. Ð
