On-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this
“Owner's Man-
ual ” as well as a “Service schedule” and a “ Help on the road”. There can
also be a variety of other additional operating manuals and instructions
on-board (e.g. an operating manual for the radio) depending on the ve-
hicle model and equipment.
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a spe-
cialist garage immediately, where one will be glad to assist you in such
matters.
One should note that the details given in the vehicle's technical docu-
mentation always take precedence over those in the Owner's Manual.
Owner's Manual
This Owner's manual describes all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-de-
pendent equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equip-
ment components described in this Owner's manual.
The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales docu-
mentation you were given when purchasing the car. For more informa-
tion, contact your local ŠKODA retailer.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are
only intended for general information.
In addition to information regarding all the controls and equipment, the
Owner's Manual also contains important information regarding care and
operation for your safety and also to retain the value of your vehicle. To
provide you with valuable tips and aids. You will learn how you can op-
erate your vehicle safely, economically and in an environmentally con-
scious way.
For safety reasons, please also pay attention to the information on ac-
cessories, modifications and replacement of parts ⇒  page 207. The other chapters of the Owner's Manual are also important, however,
for proper treatment of your car - in addition to regular care and main-
tenance - helps to retain its value and in many cases is also one of the
conditions for possible warranty claims.
The Service schedule
contains:
● Vehicle data;
● Service intervals;
● Overview of the service work;
● Service proof;
● Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries);
● important information on the warranty.
The confirmations of the carried out service work are one of the condi-
tions for possible warranty claims.
Please always present the Service schedule when you take your car to a
specialist garage.
If the Service schedule is missing or worn, please contact the specialist
garage where your car is serviced regularly. You will receive a duplicate,
in which the previously carried out service work are confirmed.
Help on the road
Contains the most important telephone numbers in individual countries
as well as the addresses and telephone numbers of

ŠKODA importers.2

Instruments and warning lights

Remote control
Description You can use the remote control key:
●
to unlock and lock the car,
● unlocking boot lid,
● electrically open and close the windows.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the car. The operating range of the
remote control key is approx. 10 m. But this range of the remote control can be
reduced if the batteries are weak.
The key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking and locking the
car manually and also for starting the engine.
If a lost key is replaced or if the receiver unit has been repaired or a new unit in-
stalled, it is then necessary for an authorised
ŠKODA Service Partner to initialise
the system. Only after this is it possible to again use the remote control key. Note
● The remote control is automatically deactivated when the ignition is switched
on.
● The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by interfer-
ence from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same frequency
range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
● The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than 3
metres away ⇒ page 31.
● If the driver door is opened, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote
control. Unlocking and locking car Fig. 17 Remote control key

safelock and/or anti-theft alarm system will reactivate. This function is intended
to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.

mirrors move into the position assigned to this key. The stored setting of driver

Mobile phones and two-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. ŠKOSA 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 assem-
ble and operate mobile phones and two-way radio sets which have a power out-
put of more than 10 W. The garage will inform you which technical possibilities ex-
ist for retrofitting mobile phones.
When using a mobile phone inside the vehicle, which is not inserted into the
phone adapter, and thus has no connection to the external aerial, the electromag-
netic radiation can exceed the current limit value. If a suitable adapter is available £118
Communication

for your mobile phone, use your mobile phone exclusively in the adapter so that
the radiation in the vehicle drops to a minimum. This also improves the quality of
the connection.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func-
tioning of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
● no external aerial,
● external aerial incorrectly installed,
● transmission power greater than 10 watts. WARNING
● If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in the vehicle
without using an external aerial or an external aerial which has been incor-
rectly 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 air-
bags. 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 manoeuvre, an ac-
cident 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 Introduction The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II has a built-in “speakerphone”. It
provides convenient operation by voice, via the multifunction steering wheel or
radio-navigation system.
All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehi-
cle can only be established with the help of the Bluetooth ®
technology. The
adapter serves only for charging the telephone and for transmitting the signal to
the external aerial of the vehicle. To ensure an optimum signal transmission, always leave the telephone with the
adapter in the telephone mount.
Furthermore the volume can be changed individually during the call at any time
with the button for setting the radio or radio navigation system or with the but-
tons on the multifunction steering wheel.
WARNING
Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for road safety. Use the telephone system only to such an extent
that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time. Note
● Please refer to the following guidelines ⇒ page 118, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems.
● Should you have any questions, please contact an authorised ŠKODA Service
Partner. 
Phone Phonebook A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control.
In the phone phonebook there are 2,500 free memory locations available. Each
contact can contain up to 4 telephone numbers. This phone phonebook can be
used in line with the mobile telephone.
On vehicles fitted with the radio navigation system Columbus, a maximum of 1200
telephone contacts are shown in the display of this appliance.
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.  119

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! 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. £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. 120
