These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment com-
ponents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the
vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)
where you
bought the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the in-
formation presented in the Owner's Manual of your vehicle. Therefore, they
can be used only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a
detailed description of some functions listed in these instructions, see the Ve-
hicle Manual for your vehicle.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your device; they are only in-
tended for general information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in a way that you are in full control of your vehicle in
every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and
fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
■
High volumes can cause hearing damage.
Declaration of conformity

Component protection
Read and observe
on page 4 first.
Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protec-
tion.
The component protection was developed as a protection mechanism for:
› impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation in an-
other vehicle (for example, after a theft);
› impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle;
› the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for re-
pairs at a ŠKODA 1)
specialist garage.
When component protection is enabled, the following message appears on the
display of the device Component theft protection: the infotainment system is
not fully available at present. Please switch on the ignition.
If the component protection does not activate by switching on the ignition,
please contact a ŠKODA specialist garage.

Some equipment functions can be operated using voice commands. Thus, the
use of the device is accelerated and increased comfort while driving.
Voice control can be used in the menus radio, media and phone .
The voice control system can be operated either by the driver or by the front
passenger.WARNING■ Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost! As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system so that you are in
full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident!■
Do not use the voice control system when under stress or in an emergen-
cy. Your Voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. In such
circumstances a telephone connection may not be established or the con-
nection may take too long to complete. The emergency number should be
dialled manually!

Requirements for optimum voice command recognition.
› Only issue voice commands when the symbol is displayed on the device
screen or appears in the information display.
 .
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close doors, windows and the sliding roof, in order to prevent external dis-
turbances affecting recognition of the voice commands.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
› During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.
CAUTION
For some languages, there is no voice control available. The device indicates
this fact via a text message that is displayed after setting the device language

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several station groups, when the signal is poor,
the same station is searched in a different station group.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
› While the station is received on the FM band (
) is displayed after the sta-
tion name. The () marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can be
received again ).
› If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception,
the device will be switched to mute.
› If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tun-
nels, when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-
tion .
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different frequency ranges
are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception only in the so-called L-
band.
› If you have any problems with the DAB wireless reception it is necessary to
ensure that the DAB Automatic tuning in L-band is on.
› If no DAB radio reception in the L-band is possible in the country, then it is
better to leave this menu item switched off. This causes the channel scan to
be faster.23Radio

First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .WARNING■
Never place external signal sources close to the airbags. Loose objects
could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!■
Never place external signal sources on the console panel. Loose objects
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.

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.
