Note
•
In the memory of the control unit, up to
three users can be stored, whereby the
handsfree-system can only communicate ac
tively with one user. In the case of
mutual connection with a fourth mobile phone, you must erase one user.•
Not valid for all mobile phones which
enable a communication via Bluetooth
®.
You can ask at an authorised Škoda Service
Partner if your telephone is compatible
with the universal teleph
one preinstallation GSM II.
•
If the telephone book of the mobile ph
one contains more than 1 000 entries,
the system announces a
failure while loading the telephone book
.
•
When connecting to the control unit, follow the instructions on your mobile
phone.•
Note that the range of the Bluetooth
® connection to the handsfree-system is
optimized in the vehicle interior. The rang
e is dependent on local factors, e.g.
obstacles between the devices and interferences with other devices.
Operation of the telephone on the multifunction steering wheel*The driver can set the basic functions of the telephone by simply operating the buttons located on the steering wheel so th
at he can concentrate on the traffic situ-
ation without being distracted as little
as possible by operating the telephone
⇒ fig. 164

This applies only if your vehicle has been
equipped with the telephone preinstalla-
tion at the factory. If the side lights are switched on, the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel are illuminated. Overview of the different functions in cont
rast to the multifunction steering wheel
