switch over to manual shifting by pressing the right rocker switch
for more than 1 second.
Emergency programme
An emergency programme exists in the event of a fault in the system.
The gearbox operates in a corresponding emergency programme if there are func-
tional faults in the gearbox electronics. This is indicated by all of the segments in the
display lighting up or going out.
A functional fault can ha ve 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*
Inserting the mobile phone and adapter
Only one telephone mount is factory-fitted. An adapter for the mobile
phone can be purchased from Škoda original accessories.
Inserting the mobile phone and adapter
– First of all push the adapter in the direction of arrow ⇒fig. 139 up
to the stop into the mount. Press the adapter slightly downwards, until
it locks securely into position.
– Insert the mobile phone into the adapter (as specified in manufac- turer's instructions).
Removing the mobile phone and adapter
– Press simultaneouly the side locks of the mount and remove the mobile phone and adapter ⇒fig. 139 .
This enables you to make full use of the ad vantages 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, operating via two buttons on the
adapter etc.). The communication between the telephon
e and the handsfree system of your
vehicle is established via Bluetooth
®, the telephone mount serves only for charging
the telephone.
Bluetooth®
The Bluetooth® technology serves as cableless connection of a
mobile phone and multimedia unit, which are equipped with this
technology, to the hands-free system of your vehicle.
In order to connect a mobile phone or multimedia unit with Bluetooth®
to the hands-free system, it is necessary to adapt the phone or multi-
media unit and the hands-free system to each other. Detailed informa-
tion on this is provided in the operating instructions of your mobile
phone or multimedia unit. The following steps must be carried out for the
connection:
– Switch on the ignition.
– Select the menu on the mobile phone or multimedia unit by finding further setups which can be connected via Bluetooth
®.
– If the hands-free system on the display of the mobile phone or multi- media unit announces SKODA_BT, enter the PIN 1234 within 30
seconds and wait, until the connection is established.
12)
– If you want to connect a multimed ia unit of which the PIN cannot be
changed (differing from 1234), do not hesitate to contact your Škoda
Service Partner.
The connection of the mobile phone or mu ltimedia unit and the hands-free system
is only possible 5 minutes after switching on the ignition and up to a speed of 6
km/h. When exceeding these conditions, the connection can be repeated by
continuous pressing of the butt on PTT (button push to talk)
and the button SOS

tion for the mobile phone

12)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.

on the adapter with an interval of 2 seconds or pressing the button
twice on the
multifunction steering wheel* with an interval of 2 seconds.
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 seven mobile phones and four mu ltimedia units can be connected by the
hands-free system via Bluetooth
® whereby only one mobile phone or multimedia
unit can communicate simultaniously via Bluetooth® with the hands-free system.
If an eighth mobile phone is connected to the handsfree-system, then the tele-
phone, which has not been used together with the handsfree 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
12). Check on the mobile unit if the
automatic connection was established.
Disconnect Bluetooth
® connection
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth® connection is disonnected.
WARNING
•Pay attention primarily to the traffic si tuation! 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 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.
•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.
Erase the list of connected units
Erase previously connected mobile or multimedia units
– Switch on the ignition. A connectio n to a mobile or multimedia unit
must not be established.
– Press the button SOS on the adapter or the button
on the multi-
function steering wheel* for more than 10 seconds.
– Erasing is confirmed with an audible signal.
