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.
– Select the corresponding menu option on the mobile phone, which
searches for suitable Bluetoot h devices (hands-free system).

In the modern business worl d as well as within the private sector the mobile communication gains increasingly on impo rtance. Mobile phones from different manufacturers can be connected with the hands-free system by means of Blue- tooth. 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 ph one 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 been used together with the handsfree system for the shortest period, is disconnected.
Establishing the Bluetooth connection
After switching on the ignition, the Blue tooth connection is automatically estab- lished for the already adapted mobile phone 3). 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 disonnected. 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 acci- dent!
•In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth function of the handsfree- 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 additionally in harmful radiation from the mobile phone in the interior of the ve hicle 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 ti me the advantage of the battery charging.
•If you insert the mobile telephone into the adapter, the connection is estab- lished via the interface in the adapter set and the Bluetooth connection is discon-nected. 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 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-sy stem or the data transfer.
•If you have set the Portuguese language in the information display, it is used automatically for the mobile phone operatio n, as this is the language, which was entered during coding of the handsfree-system.
•On certain mobile phones with operating system, it is necessary to install on the mobile phone an application of the mobi le phone manufacturer, which enables the take-over of the phone phonebook via Bluetooth.
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 ex ternal aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts.

•Adjust the front passenger seat as far as possible to the rear.
•Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same level as the upper part of your head ⇒page 115, fig. 106.
•Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒page 120, “How are seat belts correctly fastened?”.
In exceptional cases the front pass enger airbag can be deactivated ⇒page 131, “Deactivating an airbag”.
Adjusting the passenger seat ⇒page 56, “Adjusting the front seats”.
WARNING
•The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your occupants.
•The front passenger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you - hazard!
•Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces of the seats. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer fata l injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
•The backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise this will affect proper operation of th e seat belts and of the airbag system - risk of injury!
Correct seated position for the occupants on the rear seats
Occupants on the rear seats must si t upright, keep the feet in the
footwell and must have their se at belts correctly fastened.
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or an acci- dent, the occupants on the rear seats must observe the following.
•Adjust the head restraints so that the to p edge of the head restraints are at the same level as the upper part of your head ⇒page 115, fig. 106.
•Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒page 120, “How are seat belts correctly fastened?”.
•If you are transporting ⇒page 134, “Transporting children safely” children in the vehicle, please use a suitable child restraint system.
WARNING
•The head restraints must always be adjusted to match the body size, in order to offer an optimal protection for you and your occupants.
•Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never put your feet out of the window or on the surfaces of the seats. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If th e head airbag* is deployed and when adopting an incorrect seated position, you are exposing yourself to an increased risk of injury and in the event of an accident you may suffer fatal injuries!
•If the occupants on the rear seats are not sitting upright, the risk of injury is increased due to incorrec t routing of the seat belt.
Examples of an incorrect seated position
An incorrect seated position can lead to severe injuries or death for
the occupants.
Seat belts offer their optimum protection on ly if the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed. Incorrect seated positio ns considerably reduce the protective functions of the seat belts and therefore incr ease the risk of injury due to an incor- rect routing of the seat belt. The driver is fully responsible for himself and his occu-pants, in particular for the children. Do not permit an occupant to adopt an incor- rect seated position when the car is moving.
The following list contains the examples of seated positions which are dangerous for the occupants. This list is not comple te, however we would like you to get inter- ested in this subject.

Airbag system131
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
The airbags inflate in fractions of a second and at a high speed in order to be able to offer that additional protection in th e event of an accident. A grey white, non harmful gas is released when airbag is inflated. This is perfectly normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
Important safety information on the head airbag
Correct use of the airbag system considerably reduces the risk of
injury!
WARNING
•It is essential to always switch off ⇒page 131 the front passenger airbag when attaching a child safety seat on the front passenger seat where the child is seated with its back facing in direction of travel (in some countries also when the child is facing the direction of travel). If this is not done, there is a risk of the child suffering severe or even fatal injuries if the front passenger airbag is deployed. In certai n countries national legal provisions also require that the side or head pa ssenger airbags be deactivated. When transporting a child on the front passenger seat, please comply with the appropriate national regulations regarding the use of child safety seats.
•There must not be any objects in the deployment area of the head airbags which might prevent the ai rbags from inflating properly.
•Only hang light items of clothing on the clothes hooks to the vehicle. Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets of the items of clothing. In addition, it is not permitted to use clothes hangers for hanging up items of clothing.
•There must not be any other persons (e.g. children) or animals between the car occupant and the deployment ar ea of the head airbag. In addition, none of the occupants should lean their head out of the window when driving, or extend their arms and hands out of the window.
•The sun visors must not be swivelled to the side windows into the deployment area of the head airbags if any objects, such as ball-point pens etc. are attached to them. This might result in injuries to the occupants if the head airbag is deployed.
•Installing impermissible accessories in the area of the head airbags may considerably impair the protection offered by the head airbag in the event of it being deployed. When the deployed he ad airbag is inflated, parts of the accessories fitted may in certain circum stances be thrown into the interior of the car and cause injuries to the occupants ⇒page 192.
•Any work on the head airbag system including installing and removing system components because of other repair work (e.g. removing headliner) must only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Deactivating an airbag
Deactivating airbags
If any airbags have been deactivated, switch them on again as soon
as possible so that they are able to again provide their proper protec-
tion.
There is the technical means installed within your vehicle to switch off the front, side* or head airbag* (take out of commission).
This is why you should have the deacti vation of the airbags carried out by a specialist garage.
On vehicles equipped with the switch for de activation of the airbags, you can deac- tivate the front passenger airbag or passen ger side airbag by means of this switch ⇒ page 132.
Deactivation of airbags is envisaged only for particular instances, such as if:
•you must in exceptional cases use a child seat on the front passenger seat where the child has its back to the directio n of travel of the vehicle (in some coun- tries this must be in the direction of travel due to other legal regulations applying) ⇒ page 134, “Important safety information regarding the use of child safety seats”
•you are not able to maintain the distance of at least 25 cm between middle of steering wheel and chest, despite the driver seat being correctly adjusted,
