ABCD118Operation
Infotainment
Introductory information
Important information
Introduction to the subject
WARNING■Only use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle
in every traffic situation (e.g. Do not write text messages while driving, do
not link or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do not
enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Otherwise
there is a risk of an accident!■
Always route the connection cable of the external device such that is
does not restrict you when driving.
WARNING■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emergency vehicles, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
CAUTION
In some countries, some Infotainment functions can no longer be selected
when the vehicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunc-
tion, but complies with the national legal regulations.
Mobile phones and applications
Fig. 159
QR code with reference to web
pages for checking the compati-
bility of devices
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 ŠKODA pages, check to see if Infotainment is compatible with the se-
lected mobile phones. This verification is carried out by reading the QR code
» Fig. 159 or after typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the multitude of mobile phones as well as the ongoing development of
these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with Infotain-
ment unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check the 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 Infotainment or
vehicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or un-
authorised use of mobile phones.
Applications
Applications can be installed in external devices (e.g. Mobile, tablet) making it possible to display additional information on the Infotainment screen or to op-
erate Infotainment.
Due to the variety of applications 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. 120Infotainment

Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero.
The navigation, telephone, radio and media menu can be operated by voice
commands.
The voice control system can be used either by the driver or by the front pas-
senger.
Function requirements for voice control Infotainment is switched on.
There will be no telephone call using a phone connected to Infotainment.
The parking aid is not active.
Requirements for optimum voice command recognition
▶ Speak at your normal volume without intonation and long pauses.
▶ Avoid bad pronunciation.
▶ Close the doors and windows in order to avoid disturbing environmental in-
fluences on the function of the voice commands.
▶ You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
▶ During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.
WARNINGThe emergency number should be dialled manually. Your voice commands
may not be recognised in such situations. The telephone connection may
not be established or the connection may take too much time to complete.
CAUTION
■ The messages are generated by Infotainment. Flawless clarity (e.g. road or
city name) cannot always be guaranteed.■
For some Infotainment languages, there is no voice control available. Info-
tainment indicates this fact through a text message that is displayed on the
screen after setting the Infotainment language.
Note
During voice control, no nav. announcements and traffic announcements are
played.127Infotainment operation

L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different broadcasting rang-

what is known as the L-band.
If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then we recom-
mend turning off the L-band. The channel scan is therefore faster.
