Important information about this manual
This Owner's Manual is valid for the different versions of the Infotainment Co-
lumbus (hereinafter referred to only as device). The device may differ depend-
ing on the vehicle model, in which it is installed in both its appearance and in
the arrangement of the controls.
This Owner's Manual describes all possible device functions without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, the device on this vehicle does not need to contain all of
the functions described in this Owner's Manual.
For example, if the vehicle is not factory equipped with the CANTON sound
system, the menu points CANTON Optimisation, CANTON Surround and CAN-
TON Equaliser are not shown.
The availability of some features described in this manual depends on the
type of external devices (for example, telephone, music player, etc.).
Information on the compatibility of external devices can be found on ŠKODAIn- ternet pages http://infotainment.skoda-auto.com .
The Images in these Operating Instructions are for illustrative purposes only.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only in-
tended to provide general information.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. pursues a policy of ongoing product and model development
with all vehicles. Changes in terms of supply scope are possible at any time
with regard to design, equipment and technology. The information listed in
these Operating Instructions corresponds to the information available at the
time of going to press.
It is therefore not possible for legal claims to be made based on the technical
data, illustrations and information contained in these Operating Instructions.
Declaration of conformity

To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing procedure is dependent on the number of telephones already con-
nected, whether using the inserted SIM card in the external module or via the
telephone using the profile rSAP » page 37, Possible connection types .
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require coupling. It is enough to find the telephone that has been coupled in the list of coupled
telephones and make the connection.
If a SIM card is located in the external module with activated telephone serv-
ices, then only one telephone can be connected with the device. Depending on
the telephone used only those telephone contact lists and text messages
(SMS) are available.
If a device is connected to the device using Apple CarPlay, then a connection
using Bluetooth ®
is possible.
Note
■ The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the pas-
senger compartment.■
The maximum number of paired telephones is 20. Pairing a new telephone
after reaching the maximum number causes the telephone that has not been
paired for the longest time to be automatically replaced.
conditions for coupling
The telephone can be coupled with the device under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device » page 16 and the telephone is
switched on.
The visibility of the device » page 16 and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device.
The telephone is compatible with the device.
There is no device connected to the device using Apple CarPlay.
The pairing can be initiated from the device or from the telephone.
During the pairing and connecting process the device can demand the confir-
mation by the Bluetooth ®
profile (e.g., enable contact import, enable the test
messaging or the connection of an audio player or similar). The telephone dis-
play should be monitored to acknowledge any possible request.
Please refer to the compatibility of telephones as well as updates which are
available for the Bluetooth ®
device, and are available on the following ŠKODA
Internet pages.
