2012 SKODA SUPERB display

All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehi-
cle can only be established with the help of the following profiles of Bluetooth
®
technology.
rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP profile,
the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, and communication with the
network is only enabled by the control unit via the vehicle's external aerial. In the
telephone only the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains active. In this case, you can
only use the mobile phone to disconnect from the hands-free system, deactivate
the Bluetooth ®
connection or dial the emergency number
112 (only valid in some
countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP profile,
the telephone continues to use its GMS module and the internal antenna to com-
municate with the GSM network. Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 126, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems. ÐConnecting the phone to the hands-free system
To connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, it is necessary to inter-
connect the telephone and hands-free system. Detailed information on this is
provided in the operating instructions for your mobile phone. The following steps
must be carried out for the connection.

Return in the main menu of the information display. Ð Internet connection
A notebook can, for example, be connected to the Internet via the hands-free
system.
The control unit of the hands-free system supports the GPRS, EDGE and UMTS/3G
technologies.
An Internet can only be established via a telephone which is connected via the
rSAP profile.
The procedure for connecting to the Internet can vary depending on the type and
version of the operating system as well as the type of the device to be connected.
Successfully connecting to the internet requires appropriate knowledge of the
operating system for connecting the device .
Process of connection
› Connect the mobile phone with the hands-free system.
› Set the access point (depending on the operator, usually “Internet”) in the
menu Phone - Settings - Data .
› Switch on the visibility of the hands-free system for the other devices in the
menu Phone - Bluetooth - Visibility . £
134 Using the system

›
Use the device that is to be connected to search for available Bluetooth ®
devi-
ces.
› Select the hands-free system (as standard “SKODA_BT”) from the list of found
devices.
› Enter the password on the device being connected and follow any instructions
given on this device or in the information display.
› Enter the desired Internet address in the Internet browser. The operating sys-
tem requests the entry of the telephone number for the internet access (de-
pending on the operator, usually
“*99#”). ÐVoice control
Dialogue
The period of time during 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 voice commands depends on several factors.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› 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. passengers talking
at the same time.
› Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and direc-
ted to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passen-
ger can operate the equipment.
Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous series of individually spo-
ken digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated
by short pauses). After each order of digits (separation through brief voice pause)
all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system.
The digits 0 - 9 , symbols +, , # are permitted. The system detects no continuous
digit combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two,
three). Activating voice control - GSM II

Side airbags
Fig. 144
Location of the side airbag in the driver's seat/gas-filled side air-
bags
In the event of severe side collisions, the side airbag system provides additional
protection for the upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) of passengers in the ve-
hicle.
The front side airbags are housed in the upholstery of the seat backrests of the
front seats » Fig. 144 -  .
The rear side airbags are located between the entrance area and the seat back-
rest.
When the side airbags » Fig. 144 -  are deployed, the head airbag and belt ten-
sioner are also automatically deployed on the relevant side.
The load of the occupants is cushioned when plunging into the fully inflated air-
bag and the risk of injury to the entire upper body (chest, stomach and pelvis) is
reduced on the side facing the door. WARNING
■ Your head should never be positioned in the deployment area of the side
airbag. You might suffer severe injuries in the event of an accident. This ap-
plies in particular to children who are transported without using a suitable
child safety seat » page 155, Child safety and side airbag .
■ There must not be any further persons, animals as well as objects posi-
tioned between the occupants and the deployment area of the airbag. No ac-
cessories, such as cup holders, should be attached to the doors. WARNING (Continued)
■ If children adopt an incorrect seated position when travelling, they may be
exposed to an increased risk of injury in the event of an accident. This can re-
sult in serious injuries » page 154, Child seat.
■ The airbag control unit operates with pressure sensors located in the front
doors. For this reason no adjustments must be carried out to the doors and
door panels (e.g. additional installation of loudspeakers). Resulting damages
can have a negative affect on the operation of the airbag system. All work on
the front doors and their panels must only be carried out by a
ŠKODA special-
ist garage.
■ In the event of a side collision, the side airbags will not function properly, if
the sensors cannot measure the increasing air pressure inside the doors, be-
cause the air can escape through large, non-sealed openings in the door pan-
el. ■ Never drive with removed inner door panels.
■ Never drive, if parts of the inner door panel have been removed and the
remaining openings have not been properly sealed.
■ Never drive, if the loudspeakers in the doors have been removed, only if
the loudspeaker openings have been properly sealed.
■ Always make sure that the openings are covered or filled, if additional
loudspeakers or other equipment parts are installed in the inner door pan-
els.
■ Always have work completed by a

ŠKODA Service Partner or a competent
ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ Only hang light items of clothing on the hooks fitted in the vehicle. Never
leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets of the items of cloth-
ing.
■ Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent knocks, kicks etc.,
impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise the system may be damaged.
The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
■ Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front passenger
seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by
ŠKODA. In view of the
fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the seat, use of non-ap-
proved seat or protective covers would considerably impair the protective
function of the side airbag. ■ Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag module
must be repaired without delay by your
ŠKODA specialist garage.
■ The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any damage, cracks
or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force in order to open the mod-
ules. Ð

Airbag system

Monitoring the airbag system
The functionality of the airbag system is also monitored electronically when one
airbag has been switched off.
If the airbag was switched off using diagnostic equipment:
› The airbag indicator light  illuminates for around 4
seconds after the ignition
is switched on and then flashes approximately another 12 seconds in 2 second
intervals.
The following applies if the airbag has been switched off using the key switch
in the storage compartment: › The airbag indicator light  comes on for around 4 seconds after the ignition is
switched on;
› Switched off airbags are indicated in the middle of the dash panel by the indica-
tor light  in the display     coming on » Fig. 146 on page 153. Note
■ The national regulations for switching off airbags must be observed.

Airbag system

One should therefore check the oil level at regular intervals, preferably every time
after the fuel tank is filled or after driving for long stretches.
We recommend maintaining the oil level within the range
A
, but not above
, if
the engine has been operating at high loads, for example, during a lengthy motor-
way trip during the summer months, towing a trailer or negotiating a high moun-
tain pass.
The indicator light in the instrument cluster will indicate whether the oil level is
too low » page 22, Engine oil level . In this case, check the oil level with the dip-
stick, as soon as possible. Add oil accordingly. CAUTION
■ The oil level must on no account extend beyond the range A
» Fig. 158
. Risk of
damaging the exhaust system!
■  Do not continue your journey if for some reason it is not possible to top up
the engine oil under the prevailing conditions! Switch off the engine and obtain
professional assistance from a
ŠKODA specialist garage, otherwise it could cause
severe engine damage. Note
Engine oil specifications » page 219, Specification and engine oil capacity .Ð Replenishing the engine oil
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 176.
›
Check the engine oil level
» page 178.
› Unscrew the cap of the engine oil filler opening.
› Replenish the oil in portions of 0.5 litres in accordance with the correct specifi-
cations » page 219, Specification and engine oil capacity .
› Check the oil level
» page 178.
› Carefully screw on the oil filler opening cap and push the dipstick in fully. ÐChanging engine oil
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 176.ä
ä The engine oil must be changed at the intervals stated in the Service schedule or
according to the service interval indicator » page 10, Service Interval Display. CAUTION
Additives must not be added to the engine oil - risk of causing considerable dam-
age to parts of the engine! Damage, which results from such product, are exclu-
ded from the warranty. Note
If your skin has come into contact with oil, it must be washed thoroughly. Ð Coolant
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 176.
The cooling system is filled with a coolant in the factory.
The coolant consists of water with a concentration of coolant additive of 40 %.
This mixture provides antifreeze protection down to -25 °C and also protects the
cooling and heating system from corrosion. It also prevents the formation of scale
and significantly increases the boiling point of the coolant.
The concentration of coolant must therefore not be reduced by adding water dur-
ing the summer months or in countries with a warm climate. The concentration of
coolant additive in the coolant must be at least 40 %.
If a higher concentration of antifreeze is required for climatic reasons, the amount
of coolant additive can only be increased up to 60 % (antifreeze protection down
to approx. -40 °C). The antifreeze protection tails off above that concentration.
Vehicles exported to countries with a cold climate are already factory-filled with a
coolant which offers antifreeze protection down to about -35 °C. In these coun-
tries the concentration of coolant additive should be at least 50 %.
When refilling, we only recommend you use the same antifreeze written on the
antifreeze expansion tank » Fig. 159 on page 180. £
