2011 SKODA ROOMSTER phone

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 established a new connection with the hands-free
system, an update of the relevant phone book 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 exceeds 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 procedure, the updating is interrupted. After the tele-
phone event has ended, the updating starts anew. 
Connection of the mobile phone with the hands-free system In order to connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, it is necessary to
connect the telephone to the hands-free system. 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 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 un-
til 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 1)
.
– 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 sys-
tem 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 visibility 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 can be paired to the hands-free system, whereby only
one mobile phone can communicate with the hands-free system.
Connection with an already paired mobile phone
After switching on the ignition, the connection is automatically established for the
already paired mobile phone 1
). Check on the mobile unit if the automatic connec-
tion was established.
Disconnecting the connection
● By withdrawing the ignition key.
● By disconnecting the device in the information display.
● By disconnecting the mobile phone.
Solving connection problems
If the system announces No paired phone found, check the operating state of the
telephone:
● Is the telephone switched on?
● Is the PIN code entered?
● Is Bluetooth ®
active?
● Is the visibility of the mobile phone active?
● Was the telephone already paired with the hands-free system? WARNING
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth ®
function of the hands-free sys-
tem must be switched off by a specialist garage! £1)
Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a Bluetooth ®
connec-
tion is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the authorization is necessary, it must al-
ways be performed when re-establishing the Bluetooth connection. 95

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 compati-
ble with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II.
● If a suitable adapter is available for your mobile phone, use your mobile phone
exclusively in the adapter so that the radiation in the vehicle drops to a minimum.
● Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal sending and
receiving power and offers at the same time the advantage of the battery charg-
ing.
● 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 be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobile
phone is e.g. in a jacket pocket, this can lead to difficulties when establishing the
Bluetooth ®
connection with the hands-free system or the data transfer. 
Inserting the mobile phone and adapter Fig. 88 Universal preparation for the
mobile phone
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 and adapter
– First of all push the adapter A in the direction of arrow
⇒ fig. 88 up to the
stop into the mount. Press the adapter slightly downwards, until it locks se-
curely into position.
– Insert the mobile phone into the adapter A (as specified in manufacturer's in-
structions). Removing the mobile phone and adapter
–
Press simultaneously the side locks of the mount ⇒ fig. 88 and remove the
mobile phone and adapter . CAUTION
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup-
tion 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. 

Voice control Dialogue The period, in which the telephone system is ready to receive voice commands
and carry out the voice commands, is called DIALOGUE. The system gives audible
feedback and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on the following
factors:
● Speak at a normal volume, without intonation and excessive voice pauses.
● Avoid insufficient articulation.
● Close the doors and windows 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 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 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. £1)
On vehicles fitted with the radio navigation system Amundsen+, this function can be accessed via
the menu of the radio navigation system; see the operating instructions for the Amundsen+. 98
Communication

If a voice command is not detected, the system answers with “Sorry?” and a new
entry can be performed. After the 2nd error the system repeats the aid. After the

What influences the driving safety? The driving safety is primarily determined by the style of driving
and the personal behaviour of all the occupants.
The driver is fully responsible for himself and his occupants. If your driving safety
is effected, you place yourself and the oncoming traffic at risk.
Please refer to the following guidelines.
● Do not get distracted from concentrating on the traffic situation, e.g. by your
occupants or mobile phone calls.
● Never drive when your driving ability is impaired, e.g. through medication, alco-
hol, drugs.
● Keep to the traffic regulations and the permissible speed limit.
● Adjust the driving speed at all times to the road condition as well as to the
traffic and weather conditions.
● Take regular breaks on long journeys - at the latest every two hours. Correct seated position
Correct seated position for the driver Correct seated position for the driver is important for safe and re-
laxed driving.
Fig. 91 The correct distance of the driver from the steering wheel/The correct head restraint
adjustment for the driver
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 ⇒ fig. 91 - left.
● 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. 91 - right.
● Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒

Passive Safety

WARNING (Continued)
● The steering wheel and the surface of the airbag module in the dash panel
on the passenger side must not be stuck onto, covered or modified in any oth-
er way. These parts should only be cleaned with a dry cloth or a cloth mois-
tened with water. No objects such as cup holders, mobile phone mounts, etc.
may be attached to the covers of the airbag modules or be located within the
immediate area.
● No modifications of any kind may be made to parts of the airbag system.
Any work on the airbag system including installing and removing system com-
ponents because of other repair work (e.g. removing the steering wheel) must
only be carried out by a specialist garage.
● Never carry out changes on the front bumper or on the body.
● Never place any objects on the surface of the dash panel on the front pas-
senger side. 
Side airbags Description of side airbags The side airbag increases protection of the passenger concerned in
the case of a side impact.
Fig. 100 Driver seat: Installation posi-
tion of airbag
The side airbags are housed in the upholstery of the seat backrests of the front
seats and are marked with the lettering “AIRBAG” ⇒ fig. 100 on the middle part. The side airbag system in combination with the three-point seat belts, offers addi-
tional protection for the upper area of the body (chest, stomach and pelvis) of the
occupants of the vehicle in the event of severe side collisions
⇒  in Important
safety information on the side airbag

on page 114.
Apart from their normal protective function, a further task of the seat belts is to
also hold the driver and front passenger in a correct seated position in the event
of a side collision so as to enable the side airbags to offer the maximum protec-
tion.
You should therefore always fasten the seat belts, not only because this is re-
quired by law, but also for safety reasons and for your own protection ⇒ page 105,
Why seat belts?. 
Function of the side airbags Risk of injury to the upper part of the body is reduced by fully infla-
ted side airbags.
Fig. 101 Inflated side airbag
When the side airbags are deployed, the head airbag and the belt tensioner are
also automatically deployed on the relevant side .
In certain accident situations, the front, side and head airbag are simultaneously
deployed.
If an airbag is deployed, the airbag is filled with gas. The airbags inflate in frac-
tions of a second and at a high speed in order to be able to offer that additional
protection in the event of an accident ⇒

 fig. 101 .
A grey white, non harmful gas is released when airbag is inflated. This is perfectly
normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle. £ 113
