When you accelerate, the gearbox shifts up automatically into the higher gear just
before the maximum permissible engine speed is reached.
If you select a lower gear, the automatic ge arbox does not shift down until there is
no risk of the engine overrevving.
If you operate the kickdown function, the ge arbox shifts into a lower gear in line
with the vehicle speed and engine speed.

Emergency programme
An emergency programme exists in th e event of a fault in the system.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are func-

display lighting up or going out.
A functional fault can have the following effect:
•The gearbox only shifts into certain gears.
•The reverse gear R cannot be used.
•The manual shift programme (Tiptronic) is switched off in the emergency mode.
If the gearbox has switched over to emergency mode, drive to the nearest
specialist garage in order to have the fault rectified.

Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*
Introduction
This enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone (“hands-
free system - Hands Free” using a micropho ne integrated in the vehicle, optimal
transmission of signals using an external aerial
15) etc.). The equipment includes
also the voice control. The telephone is connected by means of the Bluetooth®
technology ⇒page 144, “Bluetooth®”. On vehicles fitted with a telephone
mount*, it is also possible to establish the connection via the interface of the
adapter
16) ⇒ page 145, “Operating telephone calls with the aid of the adapter*.”.
A phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph one preinstallation with voice control.
In the phone phonebook there are 1500 free memory locations available. This
phone phonebook is independent of the appliance used for the mobile phone.
Furthermore the volume can be changed individually during the call 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 pres sing the PTT button on the adapter*
⇒ page 145 or on the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒page 146.
The dialogue is always automatically ended after carrying out an operation, e.g.
after erasing the name from the phonebook. When receiving an incoming call, the dialogue is immediately interrupted and you
can accept the call by pressing the button
 on the multifunction steering wheel*
⇒ page 146 or by pressing the button for receiving a call directly on your tele-
phone.
If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “ Sorry?” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. 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 without 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 noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
•Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
•The microphone for voice control is direct ed to the driver and front passenger.
Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the equipment.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road safety. Use the tele phone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full contro l of your vehicle at any time.
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 a dditionally in harmful radiation from the

mobile phone in the interior of the ve hicle and the charging of the telephone
battery is interrupted.
Note
•Please also refer to the additional instructions ⇒page 160, “Mobile phones
and two-way radio systems”.
•Please contact your Škoda Service Partner if there are any points which are not
clear.
Bluetooth®
The Bluetooth® technology serves as ca bleless 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 th e 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 steps must be carried
out for the connection:
– Switch on the ignition.
– Select Bluetooth
® on the mobile phone and select the menu with
which the mobile phone searches for suitable Bluetooth® devices.
– If the hands-free system on the display of the mobile phone announces Skoda UHV , enter the PIN° 1234 within 30 seconds and
wait, until the connection is established.
17)
While connecting the mobile phone with the hands-free system by means of Blue-
tooth®, no other phone can be connected wi th the hands-free system via Blue-
tooth®. Up to three mobile phones can be connected to the hands-free system by means
of Bluetooth
®, whereby only one mobile phone can communicate via Bluetooth®
with the hands-free system. If a fourth mobile phone is connected to the hands-
free-system, then the telephone, which has not been used together with the hands-
free-system for the longest period, is disconnected by means of Bluetooth
®.
Establish Bluetooth
® connection
After switching on the ignition, the Blue tooth connection is automatically estab-
lished for the already adapted mobile phone
17). Check on the mobile unit if the
automatic connection was established.
Disconnect Bluetooth
® connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth® connection is disconnected.
WARNING
•Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully
responsible for road 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 accident!
•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 th e 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®.
You can ask at a Škoda Service Partner if your telephone is compatible with the
universal telephone preinstallation GSM II.
17)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a Bluetooth®
connection is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the authorization is neces-
sary, it must always be performed when re-establishing the Bluetooth connection.
