•If you are stopping at a hill (downhill section), never try to hold the car
stationary with the gear engaged by me ans of the “accelerator”, this means
by letting the clutch slip. This can lead to overheating of the clutch. If there is
a risk of overheating of the clutch due to overload, the clutch is opened auto-
matically and the vehicle rolls backward - risk of accident!
•If you must stop at a slope, depress and hold the brake pedal, so that you
can prevent the vehicle from rolling back.
Caution
•The double clutch on the automatic gear box DSG is equipped with an overload
protection. If you make use of the uphill func tion on a vehicle which is stationary or
driving slowly uphill, it will result in an increase of thermal stress of the clutches.
•An overheating of the clutches can be de tected by the flashing of the selector
level indicator and the “jerk” of the clut ches, finally the clutches are opened. The
power transmission from the engine to the front wheels is interrupted and as a
result of this the vehicle can no longer be driven. If the clutch opens automatically,
depress the brake pedal, wait a few se conds and only then continue driving.

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

Universal telephone preinstallation GSM III*
Introduction
This enables you to make full use of the ad vantages of a normal carphone (“hands-
free system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of
signals using an external aerial etc.). The equipment includes also the voice control.
The telephone is connected using the rSAP profile - Remote SIM access profile
(telecommunication of the SIM data) by means of Bluetooth
® technology, if your
telephone supports this profile. The equi pment includes the following functions:
•Display of the SMS text in the information display.
•Free talking in the vehicle interior.
•MUTE signal to the radio.
•Voice control (with the set-up possibility for “short and long dialogue”,
depending on the user's knowledge of the operating structure).
•Convenience mode with the multifunction steering wheel and the display in the
information display.
•Handsfree-system.
The voice control of the telephone is acti vated by pressing the button PTT on the
multifunction steering wheel ⇒page 139, fig. 142 .
A phone phonebook is part of the univers al telephone preinstallation GSM III with
voice control. In the phone phonebook there are 1 000 free memory locations
available. This phone phonebook is inde pendent of the appliance used for the
mobile phone.
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.
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 nece ssary through the relevant functions. You can start or
end the dialogue at any time by pressing the PTT button. 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 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 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 in serted in the moulded headliner and
directed to the driver and front passen ger. Therefore the driver and the front
passenger can operate the equipment.
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.
Note
•Please contact your Škoda Service Partne r if there are any points which are not
clear.
•Please also refer to the additional instructions ⇒page 145.
