Mobility warranty and ŠKODA extendedwarranty
Mobility warranty
Mobility warranty provides a sense of security when travelling in your vehicle.
Should your car break down when you're on the move one day as a result of an
unexpected fault, you will be eligible for services to ensure your continued mobili-
ty as part of the mobility warranty, which includes the following: Breakdown serv-ice at the breakdown location and towing off to the ŠKODA service partner, tech-
nical assistance by phone or on-site operation.
If your vehicle is not repaired on the same day, the ŠKODA service partner may
provide further services as required, such as replacement transportation (bus,
train, etc.), a courtesy vehicle, etc.
You can obtain more information regarding terms and conditions for the provision of mobility warranty for your vehicle from your ŠKODA partner. Here you will also
be given detailed terms and conditions for the mobility warranty with respect to
your vehicle. In the event that there is no mobility warranty coverage available for
your vehicle, you should check with any ŠKODA service partner about the possibil-
ity of a subsequent agreement.
Note
The mobility warranty is only available for some countries.
Optional ŠKODA extended warranty
If you received an extended ŠKODA warranty when purchasing your new car, the
two-year ŠKODA warranty for damages to your ŠKODA vehicle will be extended
by the time you chose or until the chosen mileage limit has been reached.
The previously mentioned paint warranty and the warranty against rust perfora-
tion stay unaffected by the extended warranty.
Detailed conditions for the extended warranty are included in the extended war- ranty terms and conditions, which your ŠKODA partner will have given to you
upon purchasing your new vehicle.
Note
The mobility guarantee and optional extended warranty ŠKODA are only available
for some countries.

28Using the system

If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
30 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the safelock system or
anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to prevent
the car being unlocked unintentionally.
The seat and mirror are adjusted after the vehicle is unlocked » page 69.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle has been locked, the
turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
The current position of the seat and mirror after the vehicle is locked » page 69.
Checking the battery condition
The battery is empty if the red warning iconB
» Fig. 13 does not flash when you
press a button on the remote control key. Replace the battery » page 239.
WARNINGIf the car is locked from the outside and the safelock system is switched on,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei- ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
CAUTION
■ Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and the
vehicle is in your line of sight.■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote control
key.
■
The operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal inter-
ference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same fre-
quency range (e.g. mobile phone, TV transmitter).
Note
For vehicles with anti-theft alarm the acoustic signals can also be activated/deac-
tivated by locking/unlocking » page 29.

Mobile phones and two-way radio systems
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
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 installing
and operating mobile phones and two-way radio systems with a transmission
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■
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 any area from
where it becomes a projectile during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an acci-
dent or a collision — risk of injury.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.

Universal telephone preinstallation (hands free)
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
The universal telephone preinstallation (“hands-free system”) includes a conven-
ience mode for the mobile phone via voice control, the multifunction steering
wheel, the radio or navigation system.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Only use the hands-free system to the extent that you are in full control of your vehicle in any traffic situation.■
The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served. 
110Using the system

Note■We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist firm.■
Not all mobile phones that enable Bluetooth ®
communication are compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II or GSM III. Ask a ŠKODA Part-
ner whether your phone is compatible with the universal telephone preparation
GSM II or GSM III.
■
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 mobile phone 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.

To minimize driver distraction when operating the telephone, the basic tele-
phone's functions can be set by simply operating the buttons located on the
steering wheel » Fig. 111.
This applies only if your vehicle has been equipped with the universal telephone
preinstallation at the factory.

Phone PhonebookFirst read and observe the introductory information given on page 110.
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 telephone's first connection to the hands-free system, the phone bookfrom the phone and the SIM card loads into the hands-free memory.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-freesystem, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this period, the available phone book is the one stored
at the previous update. Newly stored telephone numbers 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 telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
GSM II
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact can contain up to 4 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 200 tel-
ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete.
GSM III
The internal phonebook provides 2 000 free memory locations. Each contact can
contain up to 5 numbers.
On vehicles fitted with the Columbus navigation system, a maximum of 1 000 tel- ephone contacts are shown on the display of this appliance.
If the mobile phone's telephone book has more than 2,000 contacts, the follow-
ing message will appear in the MAXI DOTdisplay:

The visibility of the hands-free system is automatically switched off 3 minutes af-
ter the ignition is switched on and is also deactivated when the mobile phone has
connected to the hands-free system.
Restoring the visibility of the hands-free system
If you have not managed to connect your mobile phone with the hands-free sys- tem within 3 minutes of switching on the ignition, the visibility of the hands-free system can be reestablished for 3 minutes in the following ways.
