Voice control
Dialogue On vehicles which are factory-fitted with the navigation system Co-
lumbus, it is only possible to operate the voice control via this de-
vice, see the operating instructions for Columbus.
The period of time in which the system is ready to receive voice commands and to
carry them out is called a dialogue. The system gives audible feedback and guides
you if necessary through the relevant functions.
Optimum understanding of the commands depends on several factors:
● Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
● Avoid a bad pronunciation.
● 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 limit 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 inserted in the moulded headliner and di-
rected to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front pas-
senger can operate the equipment.
Switch on voice control (dialogue)
You can start the dialogue at any time by pressing the 1 button on the multi-
function steering wheel ⇒ page 125.
If the system does not recognise your command, it repeats the first part of the aid
and thus a new entry is possible. After the 2nd error the system repeats the sec-
ond part of the aid. After the 3rd error the answer
“Procedure cancelled ” is given
and the dialogue is ended.
Switching off voice control (dialogue)
If the system is currently playing a message, you will need to end the message
currently being played by pressing the 1 button on the multi-function steering
wheel. If the system expects a voice command, you can end the dialogue yourself:
●
Do some with the CANCEL voice command;
● by pressing the 1 button on the multi-function steering wheel.
Note
The dialogue of an incoming call is immediately interrupted. 

Trade-in and recycling of old cars
ŠKODA meets the requirements of the brand and its products regarding environ-
ment and resource protection. All new
ŠKODA vehicles can be utilized up to 95 %
and always 1)
be returned. In a lot of countries sufficient trade-in networks have
been created, where you can trade-in your vehicle. After you trade-in your vehicle,
you will receive a confirmation stating the recycling in accordance with environ-
mental regulations.
Vehicles with special built-on types
Technical documents regarding changes carried out on the vehicle must be kept
by the vehicle user, in order to hand over later to the old car user. This ensures the
recycling in accordance with environmental regulations. Note
Detailed information about the trade-in and recycling of old cars is available from
a ŠKODA Service Partner. 
Motoring abroad General Other circumstances may exist abroad.
It is also possible, in certain countries, that the
ŠKODA Service Partner network is
limited or has not been established yet. This is the reason why obtaining certain
spare parts may be somewhat complicated and specialist garage personnel may
only be able to make limited repairs. ŠKODA in the Czech Republic and its foreign
importers are happy to provide information about technical aspects of the vehicle,
required maintenance work and possibilities for getting repairs done. 
Unleaded petrol A vehicle fitted with a petrol engine must always be refuelled with unleaded pet-
rol
⇒ page 161

. The automobile associations can provide you with information re-
garding the locations of filling stations which offer unleaded petrol. Headlight The low beam of your headlights is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the side of
the road on which you are driving to a greater extent. If you drive abroad on the
other side of the road, you will dazzle oncoming traffic.
In order to prevent the dazzling of oncoming traffic, it is necessary that an adjust-
ment of the headlights is carried out by a specialist garage.
The adaptation of the headlights with Xenon lights (applies only to vehicles which
are designed for driving on the left and on the right) is performed in the menu
Settings Lights & Vision Travel mode in the main menu of the Information display

Avoiding damage to your vehicle When driving on poor roads and lanes or when driving over kerb stones, steep
ramps, etc., you must pay particular attention to ensuring that any low-slung parts
of the vehicle, such as spoiler and exhaust, do not touch the ground and get dam-
aged.
This particularly applies to models with a lowered suspension (sport suspension)
and also when your vehicle is fully laden. 
