with the hands-free system . If a fifth mobile phone is connected to the hands- free-system, then the telephone, which has been used together with the hands- free system for the shortest period, is disconnected. 
Establishing the Bluetooth connection 
After switching on the ignition, the Bluetooth connection is automatically  established for the already adapted mobile phone  3). You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the vehicle. 
Disconnecting the Bluetooth connection 
After withdrawing the ignition key, the Bluetooth connection is disonnected.  You can hear an increasing tone sequence  from the loudspeakers of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Pay attention primarily to the traffic situation! As the driver you are  fully responsible for the traffic safety . Use the telephone system only to  such an extent, so that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time -  risk of accident!
•In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth function of the handsfree-system must be switched  off by a specialist garage.
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to interrup- tion of the connection. When taking ou t the mobile phone, the connection to  the factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the trans- mitting and receiving signal. This might result additionally in harmful radiation from the mobile phone in the interior of the vehicle and the charging of the tele- phone battery is interrupted.
Note
•Not valid for all mobile phones whic h enable a communication via Blue- tooth.
•Please operate your mobile phone excl usively with a suitable adapter, in  order to keep a low radiation in the vehicle.
•Inserting the mobile phone into the adapter ensures an optimal sending  and receiving power and offers at the sa me time the advantage of the battery  charging.
•If you insert the mobile telephone into the adapter, the connection is estab- lished via the interface in the adapte r set and the Bluetooth connection is  disconnected. You can hear an increa sing tone sequence from the loud- speakers of the vehicle.
•Note that the range of the Bluetooth  connection to the handsfree-system is  limited to the vehicle interior. The rang e is dependent on local factors, e.g.  obstacles between the devices and interferences with other devices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a jacket pocket, th is can lead to difficulties when estab- lishing the Bluetooth connection with  the handsfree-system or the data  transfer.
•If you have set the Portugue se language in the information display, it is used  automatically for the mobile  phone operation, as this is the language, which  was entered during coding of the handsfree-system.
Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
We recommend that you have the installation of a mobile phone and two-way  radio system in a vehicle carried out by a Škoda Service Partner. 
Škoda Auto a.s. permits the operation  of mobile phones and two-way radio  systems with a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmis- sion power of up to 10 watts. 
Our Škoda Service Partners are also happy to inform you about the possibilities  available for installing and operating mobile telephones and radio transmitters  which have an output greater than 10  watts. The Škoda Service Partners can  provide you with details about the technical possibilities for retrofitting of  mobile telephones and radio transmitters.

Correct seated position
Correct seated position for the driver 
Correct seated position for the driver is important for safe and  
relaxed driving.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident,  we recommend the following setting.
•Adjust the steering wheel so that th e distance between the steering wheel  and your chest is at least 25 cm  ⇒fig. 104.
•Position the driver seat in the forward/back direction so that you are able to  press the pedals with your legs at a slight angle .
•Adjust the backrest so that you are ab le to reach the highest point of the  steering wheel with your  arms at a slight angle.
•Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the  same level as the upper part of your head  ⇒fig. 105.
•Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒page 141, “How are seat belts correctly  fastened?”. 
Driver seat adjustment  ⇒page 70, “Adjusting the front seats”.
WARNING
•The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to  match the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must

•Adjust the head restraints so that the top edge of the head restraints are at  the same level as the upper part of your head  ⇒page 135, fig. 105.
•Fasten the seat belt correctly ⇒page 141, “How are seat belts correctly  fastened?”.
•If you are transporting  ⇒page 155, “Transporting children safely” children  in the vehicle, plea se use a suitable child restraint system.
WARNING
•The head restraints must always be adjusted to match the body size,  in order to offer an optimal protection for you and your occupants.
•Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven -  never put your feet out of the window or on the surfaces of the seats. You  will be exposed to increased risk of  injury if it becomes necessary to  apply the brake or in the event of an  accident. If the head airbag* is  deployed and when adopting an in correct seated position, you are  exposing yourself to an increased risk of injury and in the event of an accident you may suffer fatal injuries!
•If the occupants on the rear seats are not sitting upright, the risk of  injury is increased due to inco rrect routing of the seat belt.
Examples of an incorrect seated position 
An incorrect seated position can lead to severe injuries or  
death for the occupants.
Seat belts offer their optimum protection on ly if the webbing of the seat belts is  properly routed. Incorrect seated positi ons considerably reduce the protective  functions of the seat belts and therefore increase the risk of injury due to an  incorrect routing of the seat belt. The driver is fully responsible for himself and  his occupants, in particular for the ch ildren. Do not permit an occupant to  adopt an incorrect seated position when the car is moving. 
The following list contains the examples of seated positions which are  dangerous for the occupants. This list  is not complete, however we would like  you to get interested in this subject. 
Therefore, while the car is moving never:
•stand up in the vehicle,
•stand up on the seats,
•kneel onto the seats,
•tilt the backrest fully to the back,
•lean against the dash panel,
•lie on the rear seats,
•only sit on the front area of the seat,
•sit to the side,
•lean out of the window,
•put the feet out of the window,
•put the feet on the dash panel,
•put the feet on the seat upholstery,
•occupy the footwell,
•have the seat belt not fastened,
•occupy the luggage compartment.
WARNING
•If the occupant adopts an incorrect seated position, he is exposed to  life-threatening injuries, in case he is hit by a deployed airbag.
•Before setting off, please adopt the correct seated position and do not  change this seated position while th e car is moving. Also advise your  occupants to adopt the correct seated position and not to change this seated position while the car is moving.

The physical principle of a frontal collision
The physical principle of a frontal accident can be explained quite simply: 
Motion energy, so-called kinetic energy, is  produced as soon as the vehicle is  moving, both for the vehicle and its occu pants. The magnitude of this kinetic  energy depends essentially on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and on the weight of the vehicle and the occupants. The greater the speed and  weight increase, the greater the amount of energy which has to be absorbed in  the event of an accident. 
The speed of the vehicle is , nevertheless, the most important factor. Doubling  the speed of the vehicle from 25 km/h up  to 50 km/hour increases the kinetic  energy four times. 
The common opinion that it is possible  to support your body in a minor acci- dent with your hands, is incorrect. Even  in a collision at only a low speed, the  forces acting on the body are such that it  is no longer possible to support your  body. 
Even if you only drive at a speed within the range from 30 km/hour to 50  km/hour, the forces which are produced on your body in the event of an acci-dent can easily exceed 10.000 N (Newton).  This equals a weight of one tonne (1  000 kg). 
In the event of a frontal collision, occupants of the car not wearing a seat belt,  are thrown forward and strike in an uncon trolled way parts of the interior of the  car, such as steering whee l, dash panel, windscreen,⇒fig. 107. The occupants  of a vehicle who have not fastened their seat belts may even be thrown out of  the vehicle. This can result in fatal injuries. 
It is also important that rear seat occu pants fasten their seat belts as they will  otherwise be thrown through the vehi cle in an uncontrolled manner in the  event of an accident A rear seat passenger who has not fastened the seat belt is a danger not only to himself but al so for those seated at the front ⇒fig. 108.

How are seat belts correctly fastened?
Fastening three-point seat belts 
Fasten your seat belt before starting!
– Correctly adjust the seat and the head restraint before fastening  
your seat belt  ⇒page 135, “Correct seated position”. 
– Slowly pull the belt webbing at th e tongue of the lock over your  
chest and pelvis  ⇒. 
– Insert the tongue of the lock into  the seat belt buckle belonging to  
the seat until it is heard to lock in place. 
– Pull on the belt to check that it has also reliably engaged in the lock.
Each three-point seat belt is equipped with an inertia reel. This inertia reel offers  you complete freedom of movement if the belt is unreeled slowly. If the brakes  are applied suddenly, the inertia reel will block. It also blocks the belts when the car accelerates, when driving downhill and when cornering. 
Expectant mothers must also wear the seat belt  ⇒.
WARNING
•The shoulder part of the seat belt must never run across your neck  but must run approximately over th e middle of the shoulder and fit  snugly against the chest. The lap part of the belt must run across the hip  and must never be routed across the stomach. It must always fit snugly  ⇒ fig. 109. Adjust the belt webbing as required.
•The lap part of the belt should be positioned as low as possible at the  pelvis of an expectant mother in or der to avoid exerting any pressure on  the lower abdomen.
•Always ensure that the webbing of the seat belts is properly routed.  Seat belts which are not  correctly adjusted can themselves cause injuries  even in minor accidents.
•A seat belt which is hanging too loose can result in injuries as your  body is moved forward by the kineti c energy produced in an accident  and is then suddenly held firm by the belt.
