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.
The visibility of the mobile phone is switched on » page 20.
The visibility of the telephone is switched on.
The phone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal.
The phone is supported by the device.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most
recently connected telephone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the con-
nection to the telephone is not lost. The connection is only lost after switching
off the ignition (for vehicles with the system KESSY after switching off the ig-
nition 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.
■
Never leave a telephone in the deployment area of an airbag, on a seat,
on the dash panel or in another area, from which it can be thrown during a
sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk of injury. There
are storage compartments with lids and if necessary there is the multime-
dia storage compartments to hold this » 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 tele-
phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when es-
tablishing a connection with the device or transferring data.
Note
Available updates for Bluetooth ®
devices as well as information about the
phone support can be obtained from the ŠKODA website www.infotain-
ment.skoda-auto.com .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 telephone.

Introductory informationRead and observe
and on page 37 first.
The device allows for a wireless connection to the telephone. Your telephonecan be operated from the device.
ŠKODA permits the operation of telephones 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 telephones
and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating telephones 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.
Note
■
We recommend that the installation of telephones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The telephone functions are dependent on the mobile network operators, as
well as the telephone being used. Further information is available from the
mobile network operator or to refer to the manual of the telephone.
■
In signal-free areas reception can be disturbed or a call may be 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.

Navigation data source
The navigation data is part of the device and is stored in the internal device
memory.
Data update
The navigation data should be updated at regular intervals.
Navigation data is subject to constant changes (such as new streets, changes of street names and house numbers), and this can become out of date over
time. For this reason, the guidance may be inaccurate or incorrect.
For more information on updating the data, please visit the ŠKODA website or contact a ŠKODA Partner.

tion 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 64 .
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.
Switching dynamic route on/off
›
In the Navigation main menu, press

→ Route Options → Dynamic route .
When the Dynamic route » page 48 function is switched on, the traffic reports
influence the dynamic route guidance by means of TMC messages.
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 on your route, you can switch on dynamic route guidance during your current route guidance or block the
route manually » page 63.
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.
