Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling
characteristics of your vehicle:
›
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
›
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or by using the fixing
nets » page 81 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its
own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The warning light turns on when tailgate is opened.
The warning light turns off when the tailgate is closed.
If the boot lid is open and the ignition switched off, the light will extinguish
automatically after around 10 minutes.
WARNING■ Always store transported objects in the boot and attach them to the lash-
ing eyes.■
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger
of death!
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from moving
around, always use suitable lashing straps that are firmly attached to the
lashing eyes. 

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 instal-
ling and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a transmis-
sion 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.
This could be for the following reasons.
› no external aerial.
› external aerial incorrectly installed.
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
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. 
90Using the system

WARNING (Continued)■Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
where it can become a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an
accident or a collision — risk of injury.■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist company
before the vehicle can be transported by air.
Note
■ We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II. You can ask a ŠKODA Part- ner whether your telephone is compatible with the GSM II universal telephone
fitting.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restric-
ted to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obsta-
cles between 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 establishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring
data.
Introductory information
Read and observe
on page 90 first.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II (hands-free system) includes a
convenience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction
steering wheel, the radio or navigation system.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II comprises the following func-
tions.

All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free sys- tem is established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology.
Phone Phonebook
Read and observe
on page 90 first.
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 first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the
phone book from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control
unit.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-
free system, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating
can take a few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored af-
ter the last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone num-
bers 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 tele-
phone event has ended, the updating starts anew.
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact
can contain up to 4 numbers.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not com-
plete.

DialogueFig. 88
Multifunction steering wheel:
Voice control
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice com-
mands and to carry them out is called "dialogue". The system gives audible
feedback and guides you through the relevant functions if necessary.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors. › Speak at a normal volume without intonation or excessive pauses.
› Avoid poor pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof in order to reduce or eliminate dis-
turbing noise from outside.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that your voice is
louder than the increased surrounding noise.
› During the dialogue, limit background noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.
› Do not speak when the system is making an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is housed in the moulded headliner and di-
rected towards the driver and front passenger. Therefore, the driver and the
front passenger can operate the equipment.
Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous sequence of numbers
spoken one after the other (the whole number at once) or in the form of digit
blocks (separated by short pauses). After each string of digits (separated by a
brief pause in speaking), all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by
the system.
The digits 0-9 and symbols +,
, #
are permitted. The system does not recog-
nize any combination of connected numbers, e.g. "twenty-three".
Switching on voice control
Briefly press the button

» Fig. 88 on the multifunction steering wheel.
Switching off voice control
If the system is currently playing a message, the message that is currently be-
ing played must be terminated by briefly pressing button 1
» Fig. 88 on the
multifunction steering wheel.
If the system is expecting a voice command, you can end the dialogue yourself
as follows.

CANCEL voice command.
› Briefly press the button
