The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few hun-
dred metres. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather
conditions and a weaker battery in the remote control can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) on or off, hold the remote control
vertical, with the aerial
A
pointing upwards. The antenna must not be covered
with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio remote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at
least 2 m.

Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
ŠKODA 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.
Please consult a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibility of installing
and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a transmission
power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func-tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows: › 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 a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area from
where it becomes a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision — risk of injury.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.

Universal telephone preinstallation (hands free)
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
The universal telephone preinstallation (“hands-free system”) includes a conven-
ience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction steering
wheel, the radio or navigation system.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Only use the hands-free system to the extent that you are in full control of your vehicle in any traffic situation.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served. 
110Using the system

Note■We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist firm.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II or GSM III. Ask a ŠKODA Part-
ner whether your phone is compatible with the universal telephone preparation
GSM II or GSM III.
■
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 in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when estab-
lishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring data.

Multifunction steering wheel: Control buttons for the telephone
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
To minimize driver distraction when operating the telephone, the basic tele-
phone's functions can be set by simply operating the buttons located on the
steering wheel » Fig. 111.
This applies only if your vehicle has been equipped with the universal telephone
preinstallation at the factory.
The buttons operate the functions for the operating mode of the current tele-
phone.

wheel are illuminated.Button/wheelActionOperation1Press brieflyMute (MUTE )1Turn upwardsIncrease the volume1Turn downwardsDecrease the volume 111Communication and multimedia

Phone PhonebookFirst read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook can
be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
After the telephone's first connection to the hands-free system, the phone bookfrom the phone and the SIM card loads into the hands-free memory.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-freesystem, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this period, the available phone book is the one stored
at the previous update. Newly stored telephone numbers are only shown after the updating has ended.
The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call,
voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
GSM II
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact can contain up to 4 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 200 tel-
ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete.
GSM III
The internal phonebook provides 2 000 free memory locations. Each contact can
contain up to 5 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 000 tel- ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the mobile phone's telephone book has more than 2,000 contacts, the follow-
ing message will appear in the MAXI DOTdisplay:
