cle, e.g. the police, ambulances and fire engines, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage.
Note

hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.
Mobile phones and applications
Fig. 90
QR code with reference to web
pages for checking the compati-
bility of devices
Read and observe on page 75 first.
The availability of some of the functions described in this Owner's Manual depends on the type of device to be connected and the applications installed
in it.
Mobile phones
On the ŠKODApages, check to see if the device is compatible with the selected
mobile phones. This verification is done by reading the QR code » Fig. 90 by
the associated application in the external device (e.g. phone, tablet) or after
typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the large number of mobile phones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
the device unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check func-
tion on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, beforehand.
Only those versions of the selected phones will be tested and supported which
originate from the official distribution network. The same also applies to their
firmware and software.
The functions of the mobile phone to be tested may differ from the same type
of mobile phone depending on the specification for the respective country or
the specific service.
Mobile phones with the operating system and in the version available at the
time of these tests will be tested. In this regard, it could be the case that the
functions of a mobile phone may differ with a different operating system ver-
sion compared to the one used with the tested phone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by
the mobile phone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to the device or ve-
hicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or unau-
thorized use of mobile phones.
Applications
Due to the variety of applications and communication systems as well as their
ongoing development, the available applications may not work in all external
devices. ŠKODA AUTO can accept no liability for their proper function.
Applications, their use and the required data connection may be chargeable.
The range of available applications and their functionality is dependent on the
device, vehicle and region.
The function of mobile applications can be influenced by the quality of the In-
ternet connection.
Some applications are dependent on the availability of services that are provi-
ded by third parties.75Swing/ Blues Radio

This chapter covers the operation of a Bluetooth ®
device connected to the tel-
ephone.
To pair a telephone with the device using Bluetooth ®
, it is necessary to pair
the two devices.
The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the passen-
ger compartment.
With the device, a phone can be connected. The telephone can also be a Blue-
tooth ®
player at the same time.
Up to 20 external devices can be paired with the device. After reaching the
maximum number, the pairing of the next external device will replace that of
the device that has not been used for the longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing. It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired
phones and make the connection.
For phones with multiple SIM cards,calls can be answered using any SIM card
from the connected phone depending on the model of the connected phone.
For outgoing calls, it depends on the type of connected telephone, either only
the primary SIM card or one of the other SIM cards can be selected.
