can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an acci-
dent and can injure the occupants.
■
Do not place external signal sources while driving in your hand or on your
knees. Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or
in case of an accident and can injure the occupants.
■
Always route the connection cable of the external signal source such that
is does not in any way restrict you when driving.
CAUTION
We recommend that you do not store any important data on CD media, Blue-

Problems with the Telephone function

Settings
33
The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met.
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most recently connected phone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the con-
nection is not dropped to the phone. The connection is lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with the system KESSY after switching off the ignition
and opening the driver's door).
WARNING■ The national legal regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must
be observed.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle with-
out an external aerial or with an incorrectly installed external aerial, 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.
WARNING (Continued)■ Never leave a mobile phone on a seat in the airbag deployment area, 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. There
are multimedia storage compartments with lid holder to safely store
these, » vehicle Owner's Manual , chapter Practical equipment.■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be
established - not even in an emergency!■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is limited
to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local conditions, e.g. obsta-
cles between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your
phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when es-
tablishing a connection with the device or transferring data.
Introductory information
Read and observe
and on page 31 first.
The device allows for a wireless connection to the phone. Your phone can be
operated from this unit.
ŠKODA permits the operation of phones and two-way radio systems with a
professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of
up to 10 watts.
Please ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating phones and
two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the functional-
ity of the electronic systems in your vehicle. 
1)
With some phones, it is necessary to set the connection to the device as "authorised" in order for the
automatic connection to be successful. If this is not set, the system will prompt you for a confirmation
each time you attempt to connect to the phone.
