The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met.
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most
recently connected mobile phone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the con-
nection to the phone is not dropped. The connection is lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with KESSY system after switching off the ignition
and opening the driver's door).
WARNING■ The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle with-
out an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incor-
rectly, 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.
WARNING (Continued)■ Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dashboard or anywhere,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision - risk of injury. Use storage compartments with lid or the
multimedia holder for safe storage » Vehicle Owner's Manual , chap-
ter Practical equipment.■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be
established - not even in an emergency!■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is limited
to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles
between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mo-
bile phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when
establishing a connection with the device or transferring data.
Introductory information
Read and observe
and on page 33 first.
The device allows for a wireless connection to the mobile phone. Your mobile
phone can be operated from this unit.
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 ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating mobile
phones and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more
than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the
functionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle. 
1)
With some phones, it is necessary to set the connection to the device as "authorised" in order for the
automatic connection to be successful. If this is not set, the system will prompt you for a confirmation
each time you attempt to connect to the mobile phone.
33Communication

The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
Note
■
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The phone features depend on the mobile network operators and on the
phone being used. Further information is available from the mobile network
operator or refer to your phone manual
■
In signal-free areas reception can be interrupted or the call disconnected.
■
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. In exceptional
cases, electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals and
telephone service may be disrupted.

At the bottom of the storage compartment in the front centre console there is
an induction plate connected to the GSM roof antenna - the Phonebox.
Function
When the mobile phone is inserted into the Phonebox, the phone signal in-
creases in strength by about 20%. This reduces the level of phone battery dis-
charge and the electromagnetic radiation inside the vehicle.

Route calculation
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 44 (route type, dy-
namic route, etc.) into account.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Navigation an-
nouncements can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 45, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
The Demo mode displays a simulated drive to the destination entered. There is
the option of travelling the calculated route “as a simulation” just on the
screen.
If an alternative route option is set, function keys are displayed, following the
calculation, for the route types with information on the route length and the
expected travelling time.
Route type economical
fast
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route
guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 44.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the re-
maining routes is completed.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in-
complete or there is no data at all for the given area (e.g., one-way streets,
road types, etc.).
Interrupt and continue route guidance
If the ignition is switched off and on again and the key was left in the ignition
(in vehicles with the KESSY system, when the ignition was switched off):
› Within 30 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calcula-
ted route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calcula-
ted route› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route;
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.
If ignition is switched off and on again and the key removed temporarily (in
vehicles with the KESSY system, ignition switched off and the driver's door
opened):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calcula-
ted route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (ener-
gy-saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.
Graphic navigation instructions
The graphical navigation instructions are displayed: › in the MAXI DOT display
» page 12.
› in the split screen in the unit screen
» page 49.
Navigation announcements
The device makes navigation announcements. The navigation announcements
are started as soon as the route calculation is complete or a route type has
been selected.
The navigation announcements are generated by the instrument system. The
lawless clarity of the message (eg, road or city name) cannot always be guar-
anteed.
Before turning, up to 3 recommendations are issued:
The last navigation announcement can be repeated: › by pressing the menu knob
2

» Fig. 1 on page 5 ;
› by pressing the dial
2

» Fig. 9 on page 12 on the multifunction steering
wheel.
The timing of the navigation announcement is dependent on the type of road
and the driving speed. For example, on motorways the first announcement is
given about 2000 m (6000 ft) before the place where you want to exit the mo-
torway. 
