Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
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.
This could be for the following reasons.
› no external aerial.
› external aerial incorrectly installed.
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
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. 
119Communication and multimedia

WARNING (Continued)■Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in any area
from where it becomes a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an
accident or a collision — risk of injury.■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
Universal telephone preinstallation (hands free)
The universal telephone preinstallation (“hands-free system”) includes a con- venience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction steer-
ing wheel, the radio or navigation system.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver, you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.
Note■ We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist firm.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II or GSM III. Ask a ŠKODA Partner whether your phone is compatible with the universal telephone prepa-
ration GSM II or GSM III.
■
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.
Operating the phone on the multifunction steering wheel
Fig. 128
Multifunction steering wheel: Control buttons for the telephone
There are buttons in the steering wheel for easy operation of the basic func-
tions of the phone » Fig. 128 so that the driver is distracted from the traffic as
little as possible when using the phone.
This applies only if your vehicle has been equipped with the universal tele-
phone preinstallation at the factory.
The buttons operate the functions for the operating mode of the current tele-
phone.
If the side lights are switched on, the buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel are illuminated. 120Operation

This function is only supported by some mobile phones.
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 telephone's first connection to the hands-free system, the phone
book from the phone and the SIM card loads into the hands-free memory. 121Communication and multimedia

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 period, the available phone book is the one
stored at the previous update. Newly stored telephone numbers 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.
GSM II
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact
can contain up to 4 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 200
telephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not com-
plete.
GSM III
The internal phonebook provides 2 000 free memory locations. Each contact
can contain up to 5 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 000
telephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the mobile phone's telephone book has more than 2,000 contacts, the fol- lowing message will appear in the MAXI DOTdisplay:
