rSAP
Applies to Infotainment Columbus with the SIM card slot in the external mod-
ule.
The Bluetooth ®
profile RSAP (remote transmission of SIM data) also allows, in
contrast to Bluetooth ®
profile HFP the use of data services of the connected
telephone (if this profile is supported by the telephone and data services are
enabled in this telephone) » page 175.
The use of Bluetooth ®
profile RSAP requires the telephone function of the ex-
ternal module to be switched on.
Switching on and off
›
In the Telephone main menu, tap on the function surface,
→
Telephone In-terface “Business”
.
The pairing and connection process takes place in the same way to the Blue-
tooth ®
profile HFP » page 163.
If the rSAP profile supported by the telephone to be connected, then infotain-
ment tries to connect using this profile. Depending on the telephone, it is pos-
sible to block or release the connection using an rSAP profile in the telephone.
If a SIM card is inserted in the external module, it is not possible to connect the
telephone to Infotainment using the rSAP profile.
Note
If Infotainment is connected to an external device via Apple CarPlay or Android
Auto, then using the data connection via rSAP is not possible.167Telephone
SmartLink
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

Problems with the engine start - vehicles with starter button
201
Depending on equipment fitted, it is possible to switch the ignition on/off and
start/stop the engine with the key in the ignition or using the starter button .
WARNING■
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!■
The ignition must always be switched during the journey when the en-
gine is idling. Otherwise, the steering may lock - danger of an accident!
■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop » page 205, Parking . Otherwise, the steering may lock -
danger of an accident!
■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is a
risk of theft, accident etc.!
■
Never run the engine in an enclosed space (e.g. in garages) - there is the
danger of poisoning and death!
CAUTION
■ Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there
is a danger of starter and engine damage!■
Do not push-start the engine – there is a risk of damaging the engine and
the catalytic converter! The battery from another vehicle can be used as a
push-start aid.
■
On vehicles with the starter button, pay attention to where the key is loca-
ted. The system can recognize the valid key, even if it has been accidentally
left on the vehicle roof - there is danger of loss or damage to the key!
NoteDo not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start
your journey as soon as the engine has started. The engine will reach its oper-
ating temperature faster.
Electronic immobiliser and steering lock
Read and observe
and on page 199 first.
The electronic immobiliser (hereinafter referred to as immobiliser) makes it
more difficult for someone to attempt to steal or use your vehicle without au-
thorisation.
Immobilizer
The immobilizer enables the engine start exclusively using the original vehicle
keys.
Malfunction of the immobilizer
If the immobiliser components in the key fail, it is not possible to start the en-
gine. A message appears in the display of the instrument cluster to explain
that the immobiliser is active.
To start, use the other vehicle key or seek help from a specialist garage.
Steering lock - lock
›
On vehicles with ignition lock, remove the key and turn the steering wheel
until the steering lock engages.
›
On vehicles with a starter button, switch off the ignition and open the driv-
er's door. If the driver's door is opened and the ignition is switched off after-
wards, the steering is only locked automatically after the vehicle has been
locked.
Steering lock - unlock
›
On vehicles with ignition lock, insert the key into the ignition and turn on the
ignition. If this is not possible, move the steering wheel slightly back and
forth and thereby unlock the steering lock.
›
On vehicles with starter button, get into the car and close the driver's door.
Under certain circumstances, the steering lock can be unlocked only when
the ignition is switched on or the engine is started.
WARNINGNever let the vehicle roll with locked steering lock - there is a risk of acci-
dent!199Starting-off and Driving
