In order to clean the filter, and where traffic conditions permit » , the vehicle
should be driven at an even speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1
800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with
the 4th or 5th gear engaged (automatic gearbox: position S) when the traffic
situation permits it.
The
warning light only goes out once the diesel particulate filter has been
successfully cleaned.
If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light
does not go out and
the warning light
begins to flash.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Diesel particulate filter: Owner's manual!
The engine control unit allows the vehicle to run in emergency mode. After
switching the ignition off and on again the indicator light, the indicator light
also lights up.
Seek help from a specialist garage.WARNING■ The diesel particulate filter reaches very high temperatures - there is a
fire hazard and serious injury could be caused. Therefore, never stop the
vehicle at places where the underside of your vehicle can come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled
fuel or such like.■
Always adjust your speed to suit weather, road, region and traffic condi-
tions. The recommendations indicated by the warning light must not tempt
you to disregard the national regulations for road traffic.
CAUTION
As long as the warning light lights up, one must take into account an in-
creased fuel consumption and in certain circumstances a power reduction of
the engine.Note■ We recommend avoiding regularly driving short distances to assist the com-
bustion process of the soot particles in the filter.■
Using diesel fuel with an increased sulphur content can considerably reduce
the service life of the filter. A ŠKODA Service Partner will be able to tell you
which countries use diesel fuel with a high sulphur content.
■
If the engine is turned off during the filter cleaning process or shortly after-
wards, the cooling fan may turn on automatically for a few minutes.

Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
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 consult a ŠKODA Partner for information about the possibility of instal- ling and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a transmis-
sion power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the
functionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
This could be for the following reasons.
› 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
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!

Page 101 of 204

WARNING (Continued)■The national 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 an external aerial which has been installed incor-
rectly, 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.
■
The Bluetooth ®
function must be switched off by a specialist workshop
before the vehicle is transported by air.
Note
■ We recommend that mobile phones and two-way radio systems be installed
in the a vehicle by a specialist workshop.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II. You can ask a ŠKODA Part-
ner whether your telephone is compatible with the GSM II universal telephone
fitting.
■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is restric-
ted to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obsta-
cles between the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your
mobile phone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties
when establishing a connection with the hands-free-system or transferring
data.
Introductory information
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II (hands-free system) includes a
convenience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction
steering wheel, the adapter, radio or the navigation system.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II comprises the following func-
tions.
› Phone Phonebook
» page 98.
› Convenience operation of the telephone via the multifunction steering
wheel » page 99 .
›Managing telephone calls via the adapter
» page 100.
› Telephone operation in the MAXI DOT display
» page 101.
› Voice control of the telephone
» page 102.
› Music playback from the telephone or other multimedia units
» page 103.
All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free sys-
tem is established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology. The adapter serves
only for charging the telephone and for transmitting the signal to the vehicle's
external aerial.
Note
The following guidelines must be observed » page 97, Mobile phones and two-
way radio systems .
Phone Phonebook
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook
can be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
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.
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 af-
ter the last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone num-
bers are only shown after the updating has ended.
The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call,
voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the tele-
phone event has ended, the updating starts anew.
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact can contain up to 4 numbers.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not com-
plete.
98Operation
Page 103 of 204

CAUTIONTaking the mobile phone out of the adapter during the call can lead to inter-
ruption of the connection. When removing the mobile phone, the connection
to the factory-fitted antenna is interrupted, which reduces the quality of the
transmitting and receiving signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is
also interrupted.
