When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle,
bad weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertically,
with the aerial A
» Fig. 115 pointing upwards. The antenna must not be cov-
ered with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio re-
mote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle
is at least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
user different kinds of feedback.

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.
The possible reasons for this are: › 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.■
Do not attach objects such as mobile telephone holders, etc. to the cov-
ers of the airbag modules or within their immediate vicinity.
■
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.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.

116WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle. Only use the hands-free sys-
tem to the extent that you are in full control of your vehicle in any traffic
situation.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be
observed.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and sometimes in tunnels, garages or subways tele-
phone conversations can be interrupted and telephone connections cannot be
established - even in an emergency!■
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio
systems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.
Note■ Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II or GSM III. Ask a ŠKODA
partner or visit the ŠKODA website www.infotainment.skoda-auto.com to find
out whether your phone is compatible with universal telephone installation kit
GSM II or GSM III.■
The range of the telephone connection to the device using the Bluetooth ®
profile is limited to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local fac-
tors, e.g. obstacles between the devices and mutual interferences with other
devices. If your telephone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to
difficulties when establishing a connection with the device or transferring da-
ta.
■
The functionality of the telephone is dependent on the telephone service op-
erator and the telephone being used. Further information is available from the
telephone service operator or can be found in the telephone manual.
■
In some countries the connection via the Bluetooth ®
function, may be limi-
ted. Further information can be obtained from local authorities.

Multifunction steering wheel: Control buttons for the telephone
Read and observe and on page 114 first.
There are buttons in the steering wheel for easy operation of the basic func- tions of the phone » Fig. 118 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.
114Using the system
Phone PhonebookRead and observe
and on page 114 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 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.
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.
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.
If the mobile phone's telephone book has more than 2,000 contacts, the fol- lowing message will appear in the MAXI DOTdisplay:

All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehicle can only be established with the help of the following profiles of Blue-
tooth ®
technology.
rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP pro-
file, the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, and communication
with the network is only enabled by the hands-free system via the vehicle's
external aerial. In the telephone only the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains ac-
tive. In this case, you can only use the mobile phone to disconnect from the
hands-free system, deactivate the Bluetooth ®
connection or dial the emergen-
cy number 112 (only valid in some countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP pro-
file, the telephone continues to use its GMS module and the internal antenna
to communicate with the GSM network.
