For technical reasons it is not possible to use simultaneously the front and 
rear mobile phone. Ensure that the adapter   is always inserted only in 
the bracket  .
Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
The installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle 
should only be carried out by a Škoda Dealer.
Škoda Auto a.s. permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way 
radio systems with a professionally installed external aerial and a 
maximum transmission power of up to 10 watts.
Our specialist garage is also happy to inform you about the possibilities 
available for installing and operating mobile telephones and radio trans-
mitters 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.
The operation of commercially available mobile phones or two-way radio 
systems may cause operational problems in the electronic systems of 
your car. The reasons for this may be:
•no external aerial,
•external aerial incorrectly installed,
•transmission power greater than 10 watts.
You should therefore  not operate a mobile phone or two-way radio 
system inside the vehicle  without the use of an external aerial, or with 
an external aerial which has been incorrectly installed.
You should also be aware of the fact that only an  external aerial makes it 
possible to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•If a mobile phone or two-way radio system is operated inside the 
vehicle without using an external aerial, or with an external aerial 
which has been incorrectly installed, the result can be excessive 
electromagnetic fields which may cause harm to your health.
•Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around 
you!
•You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or 
mounts on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate 
deployment range of airbags. This  might result in injuries to the 
occupants in the event of an accident!
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and 
two-way radio systems.
Navigation system*
The controls for the navigation system, radio, CD player are located in the 
centre console on both sides of the monitor screen. Navigation data is 
also shown in the information display.
Please refer to the relevant operating instructions for a detailed descrip-
tion of the navigation system.
