47Information system

SmartGate is a system that transmits certain driving data (such as fuel con-
sumption, speed or similar) via Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct.
The ŠKODA applications installed in a supported external device (e.g. tele-
phone, tablet) give the option to further transmit the received data.
Some ŠKODA applications can be displayed on the Infotainment screen using a
SmartLinkconnection » page 165.
Read in the QR code » Fig. 30 or enter the following address in the web brows-
er to open the website with an overview of the available applications, compati-
ble devices and other information about SmartGate.
http://go.skoda.eu/connectivity-smartgate
CAUTION
■ To increase the access security to the transmitted vehicle data, once the
ŠKODA application has been started, you are requested to change the pass-
word/PIN code if the default password/PIN code has not yet been changed
» page 50 . It is not possible to start the ŠKODA application without changing
it.■
ŠKODA accepts no responsibility for any problems caused by incompatibility
or improper functioning of the external devices.

The storage compartment in the front centre console can be equipped with
the Phonebox function.
If a telephone is directed with its rear side downwards on the pad in the stor-
age compartment » Fig. 79, the phone signal is amplified by the roof antenna.
Telephones that support the Qi standard for wireless charging, can also be
charged wirelessly in the storage compartment.
While wireless charging is taking place, no objects may be between the pad
and the telephone being charged.
WARNING■ The phone may become warm during wireless charging, so it should be
removed carefully from the tray.■
Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become
hot due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of injury. If there is
a metal object in the storage compartment that has become hot, then take
out the telephone and let the object cook in the storage compartment!
CAUTION
■ Metal objects between the pad and the phone to be charged can become hot
due to the action of the induction field - this is a risk of damage to the tele-
phone.■
With some phones, the charging process can be interrupted or the phone can
switch off due to heating up.
■
Do not insert any electronic or magnetic storage media (e.g. SD cards, USB
sticks, cards with magnetic strips or chips) between the pad and the phone to
be charged- there is a risk of data loss and damage to these data carriers.
■
If a message appears in the Infotainment screen that the phone cannot be
charged, then proceed as follows.
■
Check that there is no object between the support and the phone to be
charged. If this is the case, then take out the object and the phone. Place the
phone centrally on the phone symbol on the pad again.
■
Check if the position of the phone to be charged has not changed during the
journey. If this is the case, then take out the phone and put it back centrally on
the phone symbol on the pad. 
