•You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period of
time, as “stale” air may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants, divert
your attention and also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an
accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
•If the cooling system has not been switched on for a lengthy period, odours may
be produced at the evaporator because of deposits. Switch the cooling system on
at least once a month for approximately 5 minutes at the highest blower stage - also
during the cold season of the year - in order to remove such odours. Also open a
window for a short time.
•We recommend that you do not smoke in the vehicle when the recirculating air
mode is operating since the smoke which is drawn at the evaporator from the inte-
rior of the vehicle forms deposits in the evaporator of the air conditioning system.
This produces a permanent odour when the air conditioning system is operating
which can only be eliminated through co nsiderable effort and expense (replace-
ment of compressor).
•The used air streams out through the air removal openings in the luggage
compartment.
•The Information of the Climatronic is displayed on the display of the radio*. You
can also switch off this function - see operating instructions for radio

Note
The operation of the mobile phone fitted wi th multifunction steering wheel is only
possible on certain models of mobile phone. More detailed information is available
from your Škoda Service Partner.
Universal telephone preinstallation with voice
control*
Description
The voice control is activated according to equipment installed on the vehicle by
pressing the button PTT (push to talk)  on the adapter ⇒fig. 151 or the button  on the multifunction steering wheel ⇒page 139, fig. 150 .
A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control.
In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This
phone phonebook is independent of the ap pliance used for the mobile telephone.
Fo r v e h i c l e s f i t t e d w i t h m u l t ifunction steering wheel, the operation is performed via
the function buttons on the steering wheel ⇒page 139.
Furthermore the volume can be changed indi vidually at any time with the button
for setting the radio or on vehicles fitted with multifunction steering wheel* with
function buttons on the steering wheel. If the system answers with the voice response “
Telephone is not ready”, please
check the operating state of the telephone as follows:
•Is the telephone switched on?
•Is the PIN code entered?
Dialogue
The period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands and
carry out the voice commands, is called DIALOGUE. The system gives audible feed-
back and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions. You can start or
end the dialogue at any time by pressi ng the PTT button. You can also end the
dialogue with the voice command CANCEL.
The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g.
after erasing the name from the phonebook.
The dialogue of the incoming call is i mmediately interrupted and you can accept
the call by pressing the button
.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “ Sorry?” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 3rd error the answer “ Cancel” is given and the
dialogue is ended.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following
factors:
•Speak with a normal tone of voice wi thout intonation and excessive voice
pauses.
•Avoid insufficient articulation.
•Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order 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 avoid additional nois e in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
•Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•The microphone for voice control is directed to the driver and front passenger.
Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
