First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .WARNING■
Never place signal sources close to airbags. Loose objects could hit a de-
ployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!■
Never place signal sources on the dashboard. Loose objects can be
thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and
can injure the occupants.
■
Do not have signal sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants.
■
Always route the connection cable of the external signal source such that
does not restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
We recommend that you do not store any important data on CD media, Blue-
tooth ®
players, to an SD memory card or connected external devices. The
ŠKODA Partner is not responsible for losses resulting from the loss of data
stored on these media.
Note
For some external devices, the setting of the output volume can be changed.

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.

The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 23 .
› TP in the DAB frequency range
› TMC traffic report with dynamic adjustment of the current route option
For the correct TMC function, the following conditions are required: The vehicle is within range of the FM RDS-TMC.
Adequate and uninterrupted signal reception of a traffic report station 1)
.
Current navigation data in the device.
Operation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio
station for continuous transmission of traffic information.

Traffic report …/….
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report de-
tails » page 59 .
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listen-
ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traf-
fic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for
the content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switch dynamic route on/off
›
In the Navigation main menu, press

→ Route options → Dynamic route .
Traffic reports influence dynamic route guidance by means of TMC reports
when the Dynamic route » page 44 function is switched on.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are
displayed in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g., 
, 
, 
, etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of
a grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are gui-
ded through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic
reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the
button 
.
If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies along your route, you can also
switch on the dynamic route guidance during the current route guidance or
block the route manually » page 58.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
Detailed traffic reports
After pressing the 
button, a screen appears with the following informa-
tion:
■ All function key - Display of all traffic reports
