Introductory information
Important notes
Introduction to the subject
WARNING■Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device 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.)- Otherwise
there is a risk of an accident!
WARNING■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emerging vehicles instructing you to give way to, such
as the police, ambulance and fire brigade, can be heard at all times.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage.
WARNING■ Never leave a communication device, e.g. mobile phone, audio sources, in
the deployment area of an airbag, on a seat, on the dashboard or any an-
other area, from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeu-
vre, an accident or a collision - There is a risk of injury!■
Never connect or disconnect an external device while driving - There is a
risk of accident!
■
Always route the connection cable of the external device such that is
does not restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.External devices and applicationsFig. 1
Compatibility of the phones on
the ŠKODA websites
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 ŠKODApages, check to see if the device is compatible with the selected
mobile phones. This verification is done by reading the QR code » Fig. 1 by the
associated application in the external device (e.g. phone, tablet) or after typing
the following address into the web browser.
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility
Due to the large number of mobile phones as well as the ongoing develop-
ment of these devices, ŠKODA AUTO cannot always ensure compatibility with
the device unconditionally. It is always recommended to physically check the
function 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. 

Pair and connect
Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the passen-
ger compartment.
To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The coupling procedure depends on the number of telephones that are already
connected » page 31, Possible connection types .
Up to 20 external devices can be paired with the device. After reaching the
maximum number, the pairing of the next external device will replace that of
the device that has not been used for the longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
phones and make the connection.
WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to the device only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of accident!
conditions for coupling
Fig. 29
Compatibility of the phones on
the ŠKODA websites
The telephone can be coupled with the device under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device and the telephone is switched on.
The visibility of the device and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device. 
