Introductory information
Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero.
Fig. 217
Information on SmartLink on the
ŠKODA websites
Read in the QR code » Fig. 217orenter the following address in the web brows-
er to open the website with information on the SmartLink communication sys-
tem.
http://go.skoda.eu/connectivity-smartlink
SmartLink offers the ability to display certified applications on an external de-
vice equipped with a USB device on the Infotainment screen and to operate
them.
SmartLink supports the following communication systems. ▶ Android Auto
▶ Apple CarPlay
▶ MirrorLink ®
Using the applications in the connected external device it is possible to use the navigation to make a call, to listen to music.
For reasons of safety, the operation of some applications while driving is not
possible or only limited.
Depending on model of the connected external device, some applications can
be started using the voice activation, via the Infotainment screen, using the
operating elements on Infotainment or using the buttons on the multi-func-
tion steering wheel.
The voice control of the connected external device can be activated by holding
the button  or holding the button
 on the multifunction steering wheel.
CAUTION
To establish the connection, it is necessary for the date and time in Infotain-
ment to be set correctly. If the date and time setting is based on the GPS sig-
nal, then problems may arise with establishing a connection with a poor GPS
signal reception.
Note
■ During the connection process, information messages may be displayed on
the Infotainment screen, and in the telephone display. These messages must
be observed and confirmed if necessary (e.g. Release of data transfer, enabling
the contact import, release of text messages).■
We recommend that you use extension cords from ŠKODA Original Accesso-
ries.
■
With some connected devices, it is necessary for the connected external de-
vice to be unlocked over the entire duration of the connection for trouble-free
functioning of the SmartLink function“”.

Navigation
Introductory information
Navigation - Function sequence
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen.
Route guidance is started as follows.
›
Search for/ enter a new destination or Select one of the stored destinations.
›
Confirm the route calculation in the destination details or if necessary, adjust
the route options.
›
Select the preferred route type, if this is requested by Infotainment.
A route calculation occurs and route guidance starts.
The route guidance is provided by graphical nav. announcements.
There is an option to add additional destinations during route guidance, or to
adapt the route.
If a traffic radio station is available, information concerning traffic delays is
evaluated by Infotainment and, if necessary, an alternative route is offered.
If you deviate from the route, then a new route calculation is carried out.
GPS satellite signal
Infotainment uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for
route guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), Infotainment navigates only with restrictions using
vehicle sensors.
Infotainment offers the option to show in the split screen display the following

The Rear Traffic Alert and Wizard for “blind spot” monitoring works based on
the information from the radar sensors in the rear bumper » Fig. 271. The radar
sensors are not visible from the outside.
Rear Traffic Alert
The Rear Traffic Alert (hereinafter referred to as system) warns when leaving a
parking space from a transverse parking space about any approaching vehi-
cles.
If necessary, the system tries to avoid a collision with automatic braking, or at
least to mitigate the consequences.
Wizard for “blind spot”monitoring
The wizard for“blind spot monitoring” (hereafter referred to as system) draws
attention to vehicles travelling in the same direction in the next lane in the so-
called blind spots.
The “blind spot” is an area that is not easily visible in a rear-view mirror or even
directly from the vehicle. 
218Driving

Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - OperationRead and observe
and on page 219 first.
At a speed over 15 km/h, the area alongside and behind the vehicle is moni-
tored by the system. At the same time, the distance and the difference in
speed between your vehicle and the other vehicles in the monitored area can
be measured.
When driving, the sensors monitor an area to the left and right to the extent of
a normal lane width.
If a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot” area, the system indicates this vehi-
cle by the indicator light  in the exterior mirror.
System constraint
The system is unable to recognise the specific lane width by means of sensors.
Therefore this can e.g. in the following cases respond to a vehicle in a further
lane.
▶ When driving on a road with narrow lanes or on the lane edge.
▶ Driving around a bend.
The system may also respond to objects on the roadside such as crash barriers,
noise barriers or similar objects.
Wizard for “Blind Spot”Monitoring - driving situations and
warnings
Fig. 273
Driving situation / indicator light in the left outside mirror indi-
cates the driving situation
Fig. 274
Driving situation / indicator light in the right outside mirror indi-
cates the driving situation
Read and observe
and on page 219 first.
In the following situations, the indicator light in the outside mirror indicates avehicle in the “blind spot”.
▶ You vehicle
B
is being overtaken by vehicle
A
» Fig. 273 .
▶ Your vehicle
C
overtakes the vehicle
D
at a greater speed of max. 10
km » Fig. 274 . If the speed during the overtaking is even higher, then there is
no warning by the warning light.
The warning display is always in the exterior mirror on the side of the vehicle where a vehicle is detected in the “blind spot”.
The greater the speed difference between the two vehicles, the earlier the
warning (by means of the warning light) regarding the vehicle that is overtak-
ing you takes place.
Two warning levels

light up - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot”.

flash - a vehicle has been detected in the “blind spot” and the turn signal is
switched on .
An advanced warning for vehicles with Lane Assist

flash also if the steering wheel is turned in the direction of the vehicle in
the “blind spot” . Therefore the Lane Assist » page 243 must be enabled and
the boundary line between the vehicles detected.
If in this case your vehicle indicates crossing the boundary line, with a short vi-
bration of the steering wheel. 
