Bluetooth™*
The Bluetooth technology serves as cableless connection of a mobile
phone to a hands-free system of your vehicle.
In order to connect a mobile phone with Bluetooth to the hands-free
system, it is necessary to adapt th e phone and the hands-free system to
each other. Detailed information on this is provided in the operating
instructions of your mobile phone. The following essential steps for
connecting the mobile phone must be carried out:
– Switch on the ignition.
– If necessary switch on the mobile phone.
– Select the corresponding menu option on the mobile phone, which searches for suitable Bluetooth devices (hands-free system).
– If the hands-free system on the display of the mobile telephone announces Skoda UHV , enter the PIN 1234 within 30 seconds and
wait, until the connect ion is established.
9)
In the modern business world as well as within the private sector the mobile
communication gains increasi ngly on importance. Mobile phones from different
manufacturers can be connected with the hands-free system by means of Blue-
tooth. During the connecting procedure, no other mobile phone may be connected
via Bluetooth with the hands-free system.
Up to four mobile phones can be connected to the hands-free system by means of
Bluetooth, whereby only one mobile ph one can communicate via Bluetooth with
the hands-free system. If a fifth mobile phone is connected to the handsfree-
system, then the telephone, which has not been used together with the handsfree
system for the longest period, is disconnected.
Establishing the Bluetooth connection
After switching on the ignition, the Blue tooth connection is automatically estab-
lished for the already adapted mobile phone
9). 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 acci-
dent!
•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 interruption
of the connection. When taking out th e mobile phone, the connection to the
factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the transmitting
and receiving signal. This might result additionally in harmful radiation from the
mobile phone in the interior of the ve hicle and the charging of the telephone
battery is interrupted.
“ Possible commands are: yes, no ”
YES“The name is deleted ”
Continue reading out the phone
book.
9)Some mobile phones have a menu, in which the authorization for establishing a Bluetooth
connection is performed via the input of a code. If the input for the authorization is neces-
sary, it must always be performed when re-establishing the Bluetooth connection.

Note
•Not valid for all mobile phones which enable a communication via Bluetooth.
•Please operate your mobile phone exclusively 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 same ti me 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 adapter set and the Bluetooth connection is discon-
nected. You can hear an increasing tone sequence from the loudspeakers of the
vehicle.
•Note that the range of the Bluetooth connection to the handsfree-system is
limited to the vehicle interior. The range 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, this can lead to difficulties wh en establishing 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 operatio n, as this is the language, which was
entered during coding of the handsfree-system.
•On certain mobile phones with operating system, it is necessary to install on the
mobile phone an application of the mobile phone manufacturer, which enables the
take-over of the phone phonebook via Bluetooth.
Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
The installation of a mobile phone and tw o-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 teleph ones and radio transmitters which have
an output greater than 10 watts. The Šk oda Service Partners can provide you with details about the technical possibilities for retrofitting of mobile telephones and
radio transmitters.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way
radio systems may interfere with func-
tioning of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
•no external aerial
•external aerial incorrectly installed
•transmission power gr eater 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 sy stem is operated inside the vehicle
without using an external aerial, or wi th 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 acci-
dent.
Note
Please also refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phones and two-way
radio systems.

Airbag system169
Using the systemSafetyDriving TipsGeneral MaintenanceBreakdown assistanceTechnical Data
•In the event of a side collision, the side airbags will not function properly,
if the sensors cannot measure the increasing air pressure inside the doors,
because the air can escape through lar ge, non-sealed openings in the door
panel.
−Never drive with removed inner door panels.
− Never drive, if parts of the inner door panel have been removed and
the remaining openings have not been properly sealed.
− Never drive, if the loud speakers in the doors have been removed, only
if the loudspeaker openings have been properly sealed.
− Always make sure that the openings are covered or filled, if additional
loudspeakers or other equipment parts are installed in the inner door
panels.
− Always work with a Škoda dealer or have it carried out by a competent
specialist workshop.
•Only hang light items of clothing on the clothes hooks to the vehicle.
Never leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets of the items of
clothing.
•Ensure that there are no excessive forces, such as violent knocks, kicks
etc., impact on the backrests of the seats otherwise the system may be
damaged. The side airbags would not be deployed in such a case!
•Any seat or protective covers which you fit to the driver or front
passenger seats must only be of the type expressly authorized by Škoda
Auto. In view of the fact that the airbag inflates out of the backrest of the
seat, use of non-approved seat or protective covers would considerably
impair the protective function of the side airbag.
•Any damage to the original seat covers in the area of the side airbag
module must be repaired without delay by your specialist garage.
•The airbag modules in the front seats must not display any damage,
cracks or deep scratches. It is not permissible to use force in order to open
the modules.
•Any work on the side airbag system including removing and installing
system components because of other repa ir work (e.g. removing seats) must
only be carried out by a specialist garage.
Head airbags*
Description of the head airbags
The head airbag together with the side airbag offers enhanced occu-
pant protection in the ev ent of a side collision.
The head airbags are positioned above the doors on both sides in the interior of the
car ⇒fig. 170 . The installation positions are each marked with the “AIRBAG” logo.
The head airbag together with the three-po int seat belts and the side airbags, offers
additional protection for the head and neck area of the occupants in the event of a
side collision of major severity ⇒ in “Important safety information on the head
airbag” on page 170.
Apart from their normal protective function, a further task of the seat belts is to
also hold the driver and the occupants in a correct seated position in the event of a
side collision so as to enable the head airbags to offer the maximum protection.
