2014 SKODA YETI steering wheel

CAUTION■As long as the indicator light  lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of
the engine.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the life of the diesel particle filter. A ŠKODA partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
Note
■ To assist the combustion process of the soot particles in the filter, we recom-
mend that regularly driving short distances be avoided.■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.

CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel

nutes at a speed of 20 - 70 km / h. The mode is deactivated when the wind-
screen wipers are switched off for longer than 8 minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all AFS modes.
Tourist lights (Travel mode)
This mode makes it possible to drive in countries with opposing traffic system
(driving on the left/right) without dazzling the oncoming vehicles.
When this mode is active, the above-mentioned modes and the side swivel of
the headlights is deactivated.
This mode can be enabled or disabled via the MAXI DOT display in the Travel
mode » page 47 , Settings menu option.WARNINGIf the AFS system is defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.

The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent
arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for the following: › Reaching the controls safely and quickly.
› A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
› Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!■
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a
result of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
■
The electric front seat adjustment is also functional when the ignition is
turned off (even with the ignition key removed). Therefore, when leaving
the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle - there is a danger of injury!
■
Never carry more people than there are number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident! 

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.

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. 
