Turn the rotary knob to position ⇒ fig. 41.
The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +20 °C.
Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously
– Turn the rotary knob to position . The movement of the mirror surface is iden-
tical to the movement of the rotary knob.
The adjustment of both mirrors simultaneously or each individual mirror is possi-
ble in the Information display ⇒
page 19 in the menu point Mirror adjust. (Mirror
adjust.).
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror

Folding in both exterior mirrors
– Turn the rotary knob to position .
Fold in the exterior mirrors using the remote control key
– If all the windows are closed, press the unlock button 3 on the radio remote
control ⇒ fig. 18 for approx. 2 seconds.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the surface of the mirror tilts
down slightly when the rear gear is engaged and the rotary knob is in the posi-
tion ⇒ fig. 41 . This provides an aid in seeing the kerb of the pavement when park-
ing the car.
The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of the
position and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.
Memory for exterior mirrors
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of the
exterior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is stored
⇒ page 61. WARNING
● Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision
field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are only of limited use, therefore, for estimating distances to the follow-
ing vehicles.
● Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the distan-
ces to the following vehicles. Note
● If the exterior mirrors are folded in using the remote control of the vehicle key,
these are folded back into the driving position after opening the door or switching
on the ignition.
● If the exterior mirrors are folded in using the rotary knob ⇒
fig. 41, they can on-
ly be folded back into the driving position using the rotary knob.
● If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control of the vehicle
key and if the rotary knob was in the fold-in position before switching on the igni-
tion, the mirrors remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switch-
ed on. Folding back into the driving position is performed by actuating the rotary
knob in a different position from the fold-in position.
● Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.
● You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if the power setting function fails at
any time, by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.
● Contact your specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of the
exterior mirrors.
Automatic dimming exterior mirror on the driver's side The exterior mirror on the driver's side is dimmed together with the interior mirror.
If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending
on the light striking the mirror from the rear.
After the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always moves back into the normal
(not dimmed) position. £58

If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by
also using the remote control, you have to assign the remote control to a memory
button in each case.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional remote control key from an authorised
ŠKODA Service partner and then assign the remote control key to another memo-
ry button. Note
● If the remote control had previously been assigned to another memory button,
this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
● If you assign the remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a remote control, the old assignment is also replaced by a new assign-
ment in this case. £62

⇒ fig. 97 towards the top. You must not cover over the antenna with the fin-
gers or the palm of the hand. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the
vehicle, bad weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the
range.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on or off with the radio remote control,
if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at least 2 m.

rSAP - Remote SIM access profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the
rSAP profile,
the telephone deregisters from the GSM network, the control unit ensures the
communication with the network via the internal antenna. In the telephone only
the interface for Bluetooth ®
remains active. In this case, you can only separate
from the control unit, switch off the Bluetooth ®
connection or select the number
of the emergency call 112 (only valid for some countries).
HFP - Hands Free Profile
After connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP profile,
the telephone continues to use its GMS module and internal antenna to communi-
cate with the GSM network. WARNING
Concentrate fully at all times on your steering! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for road safety. Use the telephone system only to such an extent, so
that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time. Note
● The volume can be changed individually during the call at any time with the
button for setting the radio or radio navigation system or with the buttons on the
multifunction steering wheel.
● Please refer to the following guidelines ⇒ page 115, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems.
● Should you have any questions, please contact an authorised ŠKODA Service
Partner.
Phone Phonebook A phone phonebook is part of the mobile phone preinstallation with voice control.
In the phone phonebook there are 2000 free memory locations available. Each
contact can contain up to 5 numbers. This phone phonebook can be used in line
with the mobile telephone.
On vehicles fitted with the radio navigation system Columbus, a maximum of 1000
telephone contacts are shown in the display of this appliance.
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the phone
book from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control unit. If the telephone book of the mobile phone contains more than 2 000 entries, the
system announces Phone book not fully loaded .
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-free
system, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored after the
last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone numbers are only
shown after the updating has ended.
If a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call, dialogue of the voice control)
occurs during the updating procedure, the updating is interrupted. After the tele-
phone event has ended, the updating starts anew.
Connection of the telephone with the hands-free system In order to connect a mobile phone with the hands-free system, it is necessary to
connect the telephone to the hands-free system. Detailed information on this is
provided in the operating instructions of your mobile phone. The following steps
must be carried out for the connection.
Connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the HFP profile
–
Activate the Bluetooth ®
in your telephone and the visibility of the mobile
phone.
– Switch on the ignition.
– Select the menu Phone - Phone search in the information display and wait un-
til the control unit has ended the search.
– Select your mobile phone in the menu of the units found.
– Within 30 seconds enter the 16 digit PIN of your control unit as indicated in the
information display and confirm it according to the instructions on the display
of your telephone.
– To store a new user or to download the telephone book and the identification
data of the SIM card into the control unit, follow the instructions in the infor-
mation display and on the mobile phone.
Connecting the telephone with the hands-free system via the rSAP profile
– Activate the Bluetooth ®
in your telephone and the visibility of the mobile
phone. For certain mobile phones it is necessary to switch on first the rSAP
function.
