Technical Data
The buttons apply for the respective operating mode of the current radio or navigation system.
Note

The loudspeakers in the vehicle are matched to a power output of the radio and
navigation system of 4x 20°W.
For the equipment sound system*, the loudspeakers are matched to a power
output of the amplifier of 4x40°W + 6x20 W.Mobile phones and tw
o-way radio systems
The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be carried out by a specialist garage. Mobile phones send and receive radio wave
s during a conversation as well as in
standby mode. Radio waves can be harmful
to the human body if their frequency
exceeds certain limit values. Škoda Auto permits the operation of mobile
phones and two-way radio systems with
a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts. It is essential that you inform a specialist garage about the possibilites to assemble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power output of more than 10 W. They will inform you which technical possibilities exist for retrofitting mobile phones. When using a mobille phone inside the vehicl
e, which is not inserted into the phone
adapter, and thus has no connection to the
external aerial, the electromagnetic radia-
tion can exceed the current limit value. We therefore recommend to operate a mobile phone in the vehicle only when it is conne
cted to an external aerial via the phone
adapter. This improves the quality of the connection. Operation of mobile phones or two-way ra
dio systems may interfere with functioning
of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
no external aerial,

external aerial incorrectly installed,

transmission power gr
eater than 10 watts.
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 accident.

Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on
the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuver, an accident or a collision. In this case, the occupants of the vehicle might be injured.
Note
Observe the country-specific regulations for the use of mobile phones in vehicles.Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*IntroductionThe universal telephone preinstallation GSM
II is a built-in “hands-free system”, it
provides a voice operated convenience mode via the multifunction steering wheel* or the navigation system*. All communication between a telephone and
the hands-free system of your vehicle
can only be established with the help of the Bluetooth
® technology. The adapter*
serves only for charging the telephone and fo
r transmitting the signal to the external
aerial of the vehicle.
a)On vehicles which are equipped with the universal telephone prei
nstallation GSM II, pressing the button only allows to operate
the telephone.

To ensure an optimum signal transmission, always leave the telephone with the adapter* in the telephone mount. Furthermore the volume can be changed indivi
dually during the call at any time with
the button for setting the radio* or navigation system* or with the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel*.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully responsible for road safety. Use the teleph
one system only to such an extent, so
that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.
Note

Please refer to the following guidelines
page 105.

Should you have any questions, please
contact an authorised Škoda Service
Par tner.Phone PhonebookA phone phonebook is part of the mobile ph
one preinstallation with voice control. In
the phone phonebook there are 2 500 free memory locations available. This phone phonebook can be used in line
with the mobile telephone.
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the phone book from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control unit. Each time the telephone has establishe
d a new connection with the hands-free
system, an update of the relevant phone b
ook is performed. The updating can take a
few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored after the last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone numbers are only shown after the updating has ended. If the number of contacts loaded exceed
s 2 500, the phone book is not complete.
If a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call, dialogue of the voice control) occurs during the updating pr
ocedure, the updating is interrupted. After the telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
Connection of the mobile phone with the hands-free systemIn order to connect a mobile phone with th
e hands-free system, it is necessary to
connect the telephone to the hands-free sy
stem. Detailed information on this is
provided in the operating instructions of your mobile phone. The following steps must be carried out for the connection: – Activate the Bluetooth
® in your telephone and the visibility of the mobile phone.
– Switch on the ignition.– Select the menu
Phone
- Phone search
in the information display and wait until
the control unit has ended the search.
– Select your mobile phone in the menu of the units found.–Confirm the PIN (as standard
1234
).
– If the hands-free system
announces (as standard
Skoda UHV
) on the display of the
mobile phone, enter the PIN (as standard
1234
) within 30 seconds and wait until
the connection is established.
10)
– After ending the connection, confirm in the information display that a new user
profile was created.
If no more free space is available for creating a new user profile, delete an existing user profile. If you have not managed to
connect your mobile phone with the hands-free system
within 3 minutes after switching on the ignition, switch the ignition off and then again on. The visibility of the hands-free system is established again for 3 minutes. The visi- bility of the Bluetooth
® device is automatically switched
off if the vehicle starts off or
if the mobile phone connects to the device. During the connecting procedure, no other
mobile phone may be connected with the
hands-free system. Up to four mobile phones ca
n be paired to the hands-fr
ee system, whereby only one
mobile phone can communicate
with the hands-free system.
10)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a Bluetooth
®
connection is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the authorization is necessary, it must always be performed when re-e
stablishing the Bluetooth connection.

Note

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 telephone preinstallation GSM II.
Please operate your mobile phone exclusiv
ely 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.

The range of the Bluetooth
® connection to the hands-free system is restricted to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles between the
devices and mutual interferences with other de
vices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a
jacket pocket, this can lead to diffic
ulties when establishing the Bluetooth
® connection
with the hands-free system or the data transfer.Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter*Only one telephone mount* is factory-fitted. An adapter for the telephone can be purchased from the range of the Škoda original accessories.Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter– First of all push the adapter in the direction of arrow
