Important information about this manual
This Owner's Manual is valid for the different versions of the Infotainment Bo-
lero and Amundsen (hereinafter referred to only as device). The device may dif-
fer depending on the vehicle model, in which it is installed in both its appear-
ance and in the arrangement of the controls.
This Owner's Manual describes all possible device functions without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, the device on this vehicle does not need to contain all of
the functions described in this Owner's Manual.
For example, if the vehicle is not equipped from the factory with a navigation function, then the menu item Clock time source: for the date and time settings
is not displayed.
The availability of some features described in this manual depends on the
type of external devices (for example, phone, music player, etc..).
Information on the compatibility of external devices can be found on ŠKODAIn-
ternet pages http://infotainment.skoda-auto.com .
The Images in these Operating Instructions are for illustrative purposes only.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only in-
tended to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. pursues a policy of ongoing product and model development
with all vehicles. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time
with regard to design, equipment and technology. The information listed in
these Operating Instructions corresponds to the information available at the
time of going to press.
It is therefore not possible for legal claims to be made based on the technical
data, illustrations and information contained in these Operating Instructions.
