Switching cooling on and off
Switching cooling on and off
– Press the button . The warning light lights up in the button.
– When you again press the switch , the cooling system is switched
off. The warning light in the button go es out. Only the function of the
ventilation remains active when no lower temperature than the
outside temperature can be reached.
Setting temperature
You can separate the interior temperature for the left and right side sepa-
rately.
– You can set the temperature for both sides after switching on the igni- tion with the control dial .
– If you wish to set the temperature for the right side, turn the control dial . The warning light in the button lights up, this indicates
that differing temperatures for the left and right side can be set.
If the warning light in the button lights up, the temperature for both sides
cannot be set with the control dial . You can reinitiate this function by pressing
the button . The warning light in the butt on which indicates the possibility to
set differing temperatures for the left and right side, goes out.
You can set the interior temperature between +18°C and +26°C. The interior
temperature is regulated automatically with in this range. If you chose a tempera-
ture lower than +18°C, a blue symbol lights up at the start of the numerical scale. If
you chose a temperature higher than +26°C, a red symbol lights up at the end of
the numerical scale. In both limit positio ns the Climatronic operates at maximum
cooling or heating capacity, respectively. Th e temperature is not controlled in this
case. Lengthy and uneven distribution
of the air flow out of the vents (in particular at the
leg area) and large differences in temperat ure, for example when getting out of the
vehicle, can result in chills in sensitive persons.
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle
and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from
getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or
when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press the button - the warning light lights up in the button.
Switching recirculated air mode off
– Press again the button or the button - the warning light in
the button goes out.
WARNING
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 acci-
dent increases. Switch recirculated air mode off as soon as the windows
begin misting up.
Note
If the windscreen mists up, press the button ⇒page 102, fig. 113 . After
the windscreen has been demisted, press the button .

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

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

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.

Electric fuses
Replacing fuses
Defect fuses must be replaced.
Individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located
on the left side of the dash panel behind the safety cover and under the
cover in the engine compartment on the left.
– Switch the ignition off and also the electrical component affected.
– Use a screwdriver to take off the fuse cover on the side of the dash panel ⇒fig. 212 or the fuse cover in the engine compartment
⇒ page 242, fig. 213 .
– Find out which fuse belongs to the relevant component ⇒page 245,
“Fuse assignment in the dash panel”, ⇒page 242, “Fuse assignment
in engine compartment - version 1” or ⇒page 244, “Fuse assignment
in engine compartment - version 2”.
– Take the plastic clip out of its fixture in the fuse cover, insert it onto the respective fuse and pull out this fuse. – Defect fuses can be detected by their melted metal strips. Replace the
defect fuse by a new fuse of the same ampere number.
– Fit on the fuse cover again.
We recommend that you carry the box of replacement fuses with you which was
delivered in your vehicle. You can obtain replacement fuses 16) from a Škoda
Service Partner.
