WARNING (Continued)■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 mobile phone 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.
■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist workshop
before the vehicle is transported by air.
Note
■ We recommend that mobile phones and two-way radio systems be installed
in the a vehicle by a specialist workshop.■
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

All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free sys-
tem is established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology. The adapter serves
only for charging the telephone and for transmitting the signal to the vehicle's
external aerial.
Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 97, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems .
Phone Phonebook
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.

Operating conditions for the system
Fig. 120
Maxi DOT display: Engine is auto-
matically switched off / automat-
ic engine cut off is not possible
Read and observe on page 123 first.
For system-dependent automatic engine shutdown to work, the following
conditions must be met.
The driver's door is closed.
The driver has fastened the seat belt.
The bonnet is closed.
The driving speed exceeded 4 km/h after the last stop.
No trailer is coupled.
Some additional conditions for the system to function correctly cannot be in-
fluenced or recognised by the driver. Therefore, the system can react differ-
ently in situations which are identical from the driver's perspective.
If after stopping the car, the message START-STOP NOT POSSIBLE appears in
the segment display or the MAXI DOT display shows the
» Fig. 120 warning
sign, then the conditions for automatic engine shutdown are not being met.
