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 directed 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 telephone system only to such an extent,
so that you are in full control 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. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also interrupted.
Note
•
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.
Suitable adapters are available at a specialist garage.
Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter*Only one telephone mount* is factory-fitted. An adapter for the phone
can be purchased from the Škoda original accessories.
Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter
– First of all push the adapter in the direction of arrow ⇒fig. 137 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 with the adapter
– Press simultaneouly the side locks of the mount and remove the
mobile phone and adapter ⇒fig. 137.This enables you to make full use of the advantages of a normal carphone (“hands-
free system” using a microphone integrated in the vehicle, optimal transmission of
signals using an external aerial etc.). The battery of the mobile phone is also
constantly charged.

Bluetooth
®*
The Bluetooth technology serves as cableless 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 the 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 essential steps for
connecting the mobile phone must be carried out:
– Switch on the ignition.
– If necessary switch on the mobile phone.
– 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 telephone
announces Skoda UHV, enter the PIN 1234 within 30 seconds and
wait, until the connection is established.
6)
In the modern business world as well as within the private sector the mobile
communication gains increasingly on importance. Mobile phones from different
manufacturers can be connected with the hands-free system by means of Blue-
tooth. During the connecting procedure, no other mobile phone may be connected
via Bluetooth with the hands-free system.
Up to four 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 fifth mobile phone is connected to the handsfree-
system, then the telephone, which has been used together with the handsfree
system via Bluetooth for the shortest period, is disconnected.

WARNING
•
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using a special external aerial or an external aerial which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic
field in the interior of the vehicle.
•
Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!
•
You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts
on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of
airbags. This might result in injuries to the occupants in the event of an acci-
dent.Note

The complete on-board literature should always be in the vehicle. This
applies in particular, if you rent out or sell the vehicle.
Safety equipment
The safety equipment is part of the occupant protection and it can
reduce the risk of injuries in accident situations.“Do not put at risk” your safety and the safety of those travelling with you . In the
event of an accident, the safety equipment can reduce the risk of injuries. The
following list contains part of the safety equipment in your vehicle:

Technical Data For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident, we
recommend the following setting.
•
Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the steering wheel and
your chest is at least 25 cm ⇒page 128, fig. 140.
•
Position the driver seat in the forward/back direction so that you are able to fully
press the pedals with your legs at a slight angle.
•
Adjust the seat backrest so that you are able to reach the highest point of the
steering wheel with your arms at a slight angle.
•
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head ⇒fig. 141.
•
Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒page 134, “How are seat belts correctly
fastened?”.
Driver seat adjustment ⇒page 62, “Adjusting the front seats”.
WARNING
•
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
•
The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering
wheel ⇒page 128, fig. 140. Not maintaining this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you -
hazard!
•
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the
outer edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering
wheel firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle
of the steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel edge). In such cases,
injuries to the arms, the hands and the head can occur when the driver
airbag is deployed.
•
Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get
behind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then
no longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Correct seated position for the front passenger
The front passenger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from
the dash panel so that the airbag offers the greatest possible safety
when an airbag is deployed.For the safety of the front passenger and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an accident, we recommend the following setting.•
Adjust the front passenger seat as far as possible to the rear.
•
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head ⇒fig. 141.
•
Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒page 134, “How are seat belts correctly
fastened?”.
In exceptional cases the front passenger airbag can be deactivated ⇒page 145,
“Deactivating airbags”.
Adjusting the passenger seat ⇒page 62, “Adjusting the front seats”.
