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.
Operating the phone on the multifunction steering wheel
Fig. 118
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
For vehicles with manual transmission, the speed is maintained as follows.
› 1 gear - approx. 8 1)
- 30 km/h
› 2 gear - approx. 13 1 )
- 30 km/h
› 3 gear - approx. 22 1 )
- 30 km/h
› Reverse gear - approx. 9 1 )
- 30 km/h
› Neutral for driving forwards - as well as driving backwards - approx. 2 - 30
km/h
On vehicles with automatic transmission, the speed is maintained as follows.
› Position D, S, R or Tiptronic (for 1st, 2nd or 3rd gear) - approx. 2 - 30 km / h;
› Neutral for driving forwards - as well as reversing - approx. 2 - 30 km/hWARNINGFor the correct operation of the assistant the road surface must be suffi-
ciently adherent. The assistant cannot properly fulfil its function on slushy
soil due to physical reasons (e.g. ice or mud). - there is a risk of an accident!
Note
During an active intervention of the assistant, the brake lights do not light up.
TCSOFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 145 first.
The ASR OFF ROAD makes starting and driving on an unpaved surface easier
as it partially allows wheel-spin.
Note
When disabled, the TCS » Fig. 133 on page 143 OFF ROAD mode works without
the support of the TCS OFF ROAD.
EDS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 145 first.
The EDS supports OFF ROAD vehicle traction when driving on a surface withdifferent grip under the drive wheels or when driving over bumps.
A spinning wheel or wheels are braked earlier and with more force than with
the intervention of the standard EDS system.
ABS OFF ROAD
Read and observe
and on page 145 first.
The ABS OFF ROAD supports the driver when braking on an unpaved surface
such as gravel, snow, etc.
The system generated by a controlled locking of the wheels braked wheel be-
fore a “wedge” of piled material, which shortens the braking distance.
The system is only available, if the front wheels are in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
The system operates at speeds of up to 50 km/h.
Start-Off Assistant 2)
Read and observe
and on page 145 first.
The Start-Off assistant assists the driver when setting off, such as on a steep
slope or on a slippery surface. When the driver presses the accelerator, the
maximum engine speed is electronically limited so that a gentle approach is
possible.

responsibility for the vehicle operation.■
Make sure that the camera lens is not dirty or covered, otherwise the sys-
tem function can be significantly impaired. For information on clean-
ing » page 173 , Camera lens
CAUTION
■
The camera lens distorts and enlarges the field of view of the difference in
eye sight. The display is therefore only of limited use for estimating distances
to following vehicles.■
Some items, such as thin columns, chain link fences or lattice may not be
represented adequately in terms of display resolution.
■
It is only a two-dimensional display. Therefore, protruding objects or roadway
depressions, for example, may not be recognised due to lack of space depth.

Park Assist (in the following referred to as the system) helps drivers park in
suitable parallel and perpendicular parking places and also to manoeuvre out
of parallel parking spaces.
The system takes over the steering movements when parking or driving out of
the parking space, the driver operates the pedals as well as the gear lever.
The state in which the steering wheel is operated by the system, is referred to
as parking operation.
The parking aid is part of the park assist system, therefore the information
and safety guidelines » page 146 , Parking aid must also be read and ob-
served.
WARNING■ The system only serves to support and does not relieve the driver of the
responsibility for the vehicle operation.■
During the parking process, the system automatically performs rapid
steering movements. While it is doing so, do not place your hands between
the steering wheel – risk of injury!
