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 couple or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do
not enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Other-
wise there is a risk of an accident!■
Always route the connection cable of the external device in such a way
that it 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 features 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 telephones and applications
Fig. 157
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 telephones
On the ŠKODA pages, check to see if Infotainment is compatible with the se-
lected mobile telephones. This check takes place by reading the QR code
» Fig. 157 or after typing the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the multitude of mobile telephones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
Infotainment unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check
the function on the associated vehicle, including the ŠKODA Partners, before-
hand.
Only those versions of the selected telephones 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 telephone to be tested may differ from the same
type of mobile telephone depending on the specification for the respective
country or the specific service.
Mobile telephones 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 telephone may differ with a different operating sys-
tem version compared to the one used with the tested telephone.
ŠKODA AUTO can accept no responsibility for the continuous changes made by the mobile telephone manufacturers and application vendors.
ŠKODA AUTO does not accept any liability for any damage to Infotainment or
the vehicle due to the use of incorrect or illegal applications or the improper or
unauthorized use of mobile telephones.
Applications
Applications can be installed in external devices (e.g. Mobile, tablet) making it
possible to display additional information in 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. 121Introductory information
