The information display provides you with information in a convenient way 
concerning the  current operating state of your vehicle . The information 
system also provides you with data (depending on the equipment installed 
in the vehicle) relating to the radio, multi-functional indicator and naviga-

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
We recommend that you have the installation of a mobile phone and two-
way radio system in a vehicle carried out by a Škoda Service Partner.
Škoda Auto a.s. 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 Škoda Service Partners are also happy to inform you about the possi-
bilities available for installing and operating mobile telephones and radio 
transmitters which have an output greater than 10 watts. The Škoda 
Service Partners can provide you with details about the technical possibil-
ities 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 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.
Input AUX-IN*
The input for external audio sources AUX-IN is located next to the 
handbrake and is marked with 
. This input serves for 
connecting external audio sources (e.g. portable mp3 player) to 
the your radio system. The input AUX-IN* is only available in 
combination with a radio installed in the factory. The description 
on how to operate AUX-IN* can be found in the relevant oper-
ating instructions of the radio.
