SmartGate is a system that transmits certain driving data (such as fuel con-
sumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA compatible communications device (e.g. phone, tablet, notebook)
offer the possibility to further transmit the received data.
More information on available applications, a list of compatible communication
devices and information about SmartGate can be found on the following
ŠKODA website » Fig. 36.
http://www.skoda-auto.com
WARNING■ The universally applicable country-specific laws on operating communica-
tion devices in the vehicle must be observed.■
Never leave a communication device in the deployment area of an airbag,
on a seat, on the dash panel or any another area, from which it could be
thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk
of injury!
■
Never connect or disconnect a communication device while driving - risk
of accident!
CAUTION
■ To increase access security for the vehicle data transmitted, when the
ŠKODA application starts up, there will be a prompt to change the pass-
word/PIN code if the default password/PIN code has not yet been changed
» page 51 , Password/PIN code change . It is not possible to start the ŠKODA
application without having made this change.■
ŠKODA accepts no responsibility for any problems caused by incompatibility
or improper functioning of the communication devices.
Note
The ŠKODA applications, support communications devices with the Android
operating system version 4.x.x and later and iOS 7.x.x and higher.

Enabling / disabling and setting functions
The functions and setting of the lighting duration can be activated or deactiva-
ted in the Infotainment system » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chap-
ter CARVehicle settings .
CAUTION■
Poorer visibility is evaluated by a motor mounted below the windscreen in
the holder of the interior mirror sensor. Do not attach any stickers or similar
objects in front of the light sensor on the windscreen in order to avoid impair-
ing the function or its reliability.■
If this option is always enabled, then the battery is heavily loaded.
