•
Please also refer to the additional instructions ⇒page 122, “Mobile phones
and two-way radio system”.
•
Should you have any questions, please contact a specialist garage.
•
The voice control of the telephone is only possible for adapters with PTT button.

Notes for entering the PIN code•
When entering a PIN code with more than 8 digits, the system indicates “The
PIN is too long”.
•
When entering an incorrect PIN code, the system indicates “The PIN is incor-
rect”.
•
If the incorrect PIN code has been entered three times consecutively, the card
is blocked. With the aid of the personal unblocking code PUK (Personal Unblock
Key), the SIM card can be unblocked. The unblocking code can only be entered
via the phone keypad and not through the voice control.
Example for entering the PIN code
You can interrupt the dialogue at any time by pressing the PTT button or with the
voice command CANCEL.
Dial number– Press the PTT button.
– Give the command DIAL NUMBER after the signal tone.
After giving this command, the system requests the entry of a telephone number.

(complete number), in the form of order of digits (separation through a brief voice
pause) or through individually spoken digits. After each order of digits (separation
through brief voice pause) the detected digits are repeated.
The digits zero to nine are permitted. The system detects no continuous digit
combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two, three).
If you enter more than 20 digits, the system announces: “The number is too long”.
Additionally for international calls a Plus (+) has to be entered in front of the 20
digits.

Technical Data
Transporting children safelyWhat you should know about transporting children!An introduction to the subject
Accident statistics have revealed that children are generally more
safely transported on the rear seats than on the front passenger seat.Children younger than 12 years of age should normally travel on the rear seat of the
vehicle (take note of any national legal provisions which differ from this). They
should be secured there by means of a child restraint system or by using the existing
seat belts depending on their age, body size and weight. The child seat should be
mounted behind the front passenger seat for safety reasons.
The physical principle of an accident does, of course, also apply to children
⇒page 133, “The physical principle of a frontal collision”. They differ from adults in
that their muscles and bone structure of children are not yet fully developed. Thus
children are exposed to increased risk of injury.
Children should be transported by using special child safety seats in order to
reduce this risk of injury.
Only use child safety seats which are officially approved, suitable for children and
which comply with the standard ECE-R 44, which classifies child safety seats into 5
groups ⇒page 150, “Classification of child seats into groups”. Child restraint
systems which have been tested for conformity to ECE-R 44 standard have a non-
detachable test seal (a large E within a circle and below this the test number)
attached to the seat.
We recommend that you use child safety seats from the Škoda genuine accessories.
These child seats were developed and also tested for use in Škoda vehicles. They
fulfil the ECE-R 44 standard.
WARNING
Always comply with national legal provisions and instructions from the rele-
vant child safety seat manufacturer when installing and using a child seat ⇒ in “Important safety information regarding the use of child safety
seats”.
Note
National legal provisions, which deviate from the information contained in these
operating instructions, take precedence over the information contained in the
operating instructions.Important safety information regarding the use of child safety seats
Correct use of child safety seats considerably reduces the risk of
injury!
WARNING
•
All the occupants of the vehicle - particularly children - must wear a seat
belt when the vehicle is moving.
•
Children who are less than 1.50 m in height and who weigh less than 36
kg must not use a normal seat belt without a child restraint system other-
wise this may result in injuries to the stomach and neck areas. Comply with
the national legal requirements.
•
One should never carry children, and also not babies! - on one's lap.
•
You can transport a child safely in a suitable child safety seat ⇒page 150,
“Child seat”!
•
Only one child may be fastened with a seat belt into a child safety seat.
•
Never leave the child sitting unattended in the seat.
•
Certain outside climatic conditions can cause life-threatening tempera-
tures in the vehicle.WARNING (continued)
