Key: without/with remote control
Two keys are provided with the vehicle. Depending on the equipment, your vehi- cle can be equipped with keys without radio remote control » Fig. 8 –
or with
radio remote control » Fig. 8 –
.
WARNING■
Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle – even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
The children might otherwise start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. electrical power windows) – risk of injury!■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop! The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally – risk of accident!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and igni-
tion lock.
NotePlease contact a ŠKODA Partner if you lose a key as they can obtain a new one for you.
Replacing the battery in the remote control key
Fig. 9
Remote control key: Remove cover/remove battery
Each remote control key contains a battery that is located under the cover
A
» Fig. 9 . If the battery is discharged, the red indicator light
B
does not flash
after you press a button on the remote control key » Fig. 14 on page 32.
We recommend that you ask a ŠKODA Partner to replace the key battery. Howev- er, if you would like to replace the discharged battery yourself proceed as follows.
›
Flip out the key.
›
Press off the battery cover with your thumb or using a flat screwdriver in theregion of arrows
1
» Fig. 9 .
›
Remove the discharged battery from the key by pressing the battery down-
wards in the region of arrow
2
.
›
Insert the new battery.
Ensure that the “+” symbol on the battery is facing upwards. The correct polarity
is shown on the battery cover.
›
Place the battery cover on the key and press it down until it clicks into place.
CAUTION
The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original battery. 28Using the system
Page 91 of 222
›The engine is also preheated when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is
not running;
› It warms up the coolant by burning fuel from the vehicle tank. The coolant
warms up the air, which (if the blower speed is not set to zero) flows into the passenger compartment.
Auxiliary ventilation
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior by
switching off the engine, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms - risk of poi-
soning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be running during refuelling - risk of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of the
vehicle. Therefore, if you wish to operate the auxiliary heating, do not park the vehicle in such a way that the exhaust gases can come into contact with high-
ly flammable materials (e.g. dry grass) or easily inflammable substances (e.g.
spilt fuel).
CAUTION
■ The running auxiliary heater consumes fuel from the vehicle tank and automati-
cally controls the filling level. If only a low quantity of fuel is present in the fuel
tank, the function of the auxiliary heating is blocked.■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating, which is located on the underside of
the vehicle, must not be clogged and the exhaust flow must not be blocked.
■
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation is running, the vehicle battery discharges.
If the auxiliary heating and ventilation has been operated several times over a
longer period, the vehicle must be driven a few kilometres in order to recharge
the vehicle battery.
Note
■ The auxiliary heating only switches the blower on, if it has achieved a coolant
temperature of approx. 50 °C.■
At low outside temperatures, this can result in a formation of water vapour in
the area of the engine compartment. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
■
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or leaves
to ensure that the auxiliary heating and cooling system operates properly.

After switching the system off, the auxiliary heating will continue running a little
while longer in order to burn the remaining fuel in the auxiliary heater. Exhaust
fumes from the system will thus be directed outside.

Fig. 88
Auxiliary heater: Radio remote control
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 88.
Explanation of graphicAAerialBBattery coverCWarning lightSwitch on the auxiliary heatingSwitch off the auxiliary heating
The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote control.
The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few hun-
dred metres. Obstacles between the radio remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker battery can clearly reduce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating on or off, hold the remote control vertical, with the
aerial pointing upwards. The antenna must not be covered with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio remote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle is at
least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
user different kinds of feedback:

Communication
Introductory information
For more information about controlling hands-free equipment, multimedia, Navi-
gation, etc. see » operating instructions for Infotainment .
ŠKODA 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.
Please refer to a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibilities of instal- ling and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems that have a trans-
mission power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func- tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
WARNING■
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Use the telephone system only to
such an extent that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.
■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.
■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a mobile phone on a seat, on the dash panel or in another area,
from which it can be thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident
or a collision – risk of injury.
■
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth ®
function for the hands-free sys-
tem must be switched off by a specialist garage.
CAUTION■ Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation. You can ask an authorised ŠKODA Partner whether your telephone is compatible with the universal telephone pre- installation.■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restricted
to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be- tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your mobilephone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when estab-lishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring data.
Note
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a ŠKODA Partner.
Declaration of conformity
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. hereby declares that the ŠKODA Infotainment systems meet the basic requirements and additional provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

INDUSTRY CANADA Statements
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux
appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux
conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2)
l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même
si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Phonebox
The vehicle body partially interferes with the telephone signal and makes use of
the mobile telephone somewhat more difficult in regions with a weak signal. The
current consumption and the telephone battery discharges more quickly.
To reduce the effects of these defects, an induction plate is located on the bot-
tom of the stowage compartment in the centre console » Fig. 68 on page 74. The
induction plate generates a induction field for the telephone signal which is direc- ted to the plate on the roof aerial where it is amplified.
The mobile phone kept in the stowage compartment with the underside on the
induction plate can use a signal boosted by around 20 %.
As a result:
› the sending and receiving power of the telephone is improved;
› the discharge of the phone battery is reduced;
› the electromagnetic radiation is reduced in the vehicle interior.
