Communication
128Note

The loudspeakers in the vehicle are matched to a power output of the radio and
navigation system of 4x 20°W.

For the equipment sound system*, the loudspeakers are matched to a power
output of the amplifier of 4x40°W + 6x20 W.
Mobile phones and tw o-way radio systemsThe installation of a mobile phone and two-way radio system in a vehicle should be
carried out by a specialist garage.
Škoda Auto 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.
It is essential that you inform yourself at specialist garages about the possibilites to
install and operate mobile phones which have a transmission power of more than 10
W. They will inform you which technical po ssibilities exist for retrofitting mobile
phones.
When using a mobille phone inside the vehicl e, which is not inserted into the phone
adapter, and thus has no connection to the external aerial, the electromagnetic radia-
tion can exceed the current limit value. We therefore recommend to operate a mobile
phone in the vehicle only when it is conne cted to an external aerial via the phone
adapter. This improves the quality of the connection.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way ra dio systems may interfere with functioning
of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
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 the vehicle
without using a special external aerial or an external aerial which has been
incorrectly installed, this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field
in the interior of the vehicle.

Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving!

You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts on
the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags.
This might result in injuries to the occupants in the event of an accident.

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 manoeuver, an accident
or a collision. In this case, the occupants of the vehicle might be injured.Note
Observe the country-specific regulations for the use of mobile phones in vehicles.Universal telephone preinstallation GSM II*IntroductionThe universal telephone preinstallation GSM II is a built-in “hands-free system”, it
provides a voice operated convenience mode via the multifunction steering wheel* or
the navigation system*.
All communication between a telephone and the hands-free system of your vehicle
can only be established with the help of the Bluetooth
® technology. The adapter*
serves only for charging the telephone and fo r transmitting the signal to the external
aerial of the vehicle.
To ensure an optimum signal transmission, always leave the telephone with the
adapter* in the telephone mount.
a)Only valid for the navigation system Columbus.s2ug.6.book Page 128 Friday, April 9, 2010 2:24 PM

Communication

Connection with an already paired mobile phone
After switching on the ignition, the connec tion is automatically established for the
already paired mobile phone
10). Check on the mobile unit if the automatic connection
was established.
Disconnecting the connection

By withdrawing the ignition key.

By disconnecting the device in the information display.

By disconnecting the device in the mobile phone.
Solving connection problems
If the system announces No paired phone found , check the operating state of the
telephone:

Is the telephone switched on?

Is the PIN code entered?

Is Bluetooth
® active?

Is the visibility of the mobile phone active?

Was the telephone already paired with the hands-free system?
WARNING
In the event of air transport, the Bluetooth
® function of the hands-free system
must be switched off by a specialist garage!
Note

Not valid for all mobile phones which enable a communication via Bluetooth
®.
You can ask at an authorised Škoda Service Partner if your telephone is compatible
with the universal telephone preinstallation GSM II.

If a suitable adapter is available for yo ur mobile phone, use your mobile phone
exclusively in the adapter so that the radiation in the vehicle drops to a minimum.

Inserting the mobile phone into the ad apter ensures an optimal sending and
receiving power and offers at the same ti me the advantage of the battery charging.

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 between the devices and mutual interferences with other de
vices. If your mobile phone is e.g. in a
jacket pocket, this can lead to diffic ulties when establishing the Bluetooth
® connection
with the hands-free system or the data transfer.
Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter*Only one telephone mount* is factory-fitted. An adapter for the telephone can be
purchased from the range of the Škoda original accessories.Inserting the mobile phone with the adapter– First of all push the adapter fig. 119 in the direction of arrow up to the stop
into the mount. Press the adapter slightly downwards, until it locks securely into
position.
– Insert the mobile phone into the adapter (as specified in manufacturer's instructions).Removing the mobile phone with the adapter– Press simultaneouly the side locks of th e mount and remove the mobile phone and
adapter fig. 119 .
Caution
Taking the mobile phone out of the adapter du ring the call can lead to interruption of
the connection. When taking out the mobile phone, the connection to the factory-
fitted antenna is interrupted, this reduces the quality of the transmitting and receiving
signal. The charging of the mobile phone battery is also interrupted.

Battery with a two-tone indicatorAn indicator for the electrolyte level, the so-called magic eye page 212, fig. 168 , is
located on the top of the battery. The indicato r changes its colour in line with the elec-
trolyte level in the battery.
Air bubbles can influence the colour of the in dicator. For this reason carefully knock on
the indicator before carrying out the check.
Black colour - electrolyte level is correct.

Colourless or light yellow colour - electrolyte level too low, the battery must be
replaced.
Batteries, which are more than 5 years old, must be replaced. We recommend you
have the battery checked or replaced by a specialist garage.Caution
If the vehicle has not been driven for more than 3 to 4 weeks, the battery will discharge
because certain electrical components consum e electricity (e.g. control units) also in
idle state. You can prevent the discharging of the battery by disconnecting the negative
terminal or charging the battery constantly with a very low charging current. Please
also refer to the notes when working on the battery page 210.

Technical Data
Inspecting the electrolyte levelThe battery is practically maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. We
do, however, recommend that you have the electrolyte level inspected from time to
time by a specialist garage when outside temperatures are high or when driving on
long trips. You should also have the electrolyte level  page 213 checked each time
the battery is charged.
The electrolyte level of the battery will al so be checked as part of the Inspection
Service.Operation in winterThe battery has to provide greater amounts of electricity during the winter. It also has
only part of the initial power output at low temperatures that it has at normal temper-
atures.
A discharged battery may already freez e at temperatures just below 0°C.
We therefore recommend that you have the battery checked by a specialist garage
before the start of the winter and recharged if necessary.
WARNING
Never charge a frozen or thawed battery - risk of explosion and caustic burns.
Replace a frozen battery.Charging the battery
A properly charged battery is essentia l for reliably starting the engine.– Read the warning notes  in “Working on the battery” on page 210 and .
– Switch the ignition and all electrical components off.
– Only for “quick-charging”: Disconnect both battery cables (first of all “negative”,
then “positive”).
– Carefully attach the terminal clamps of the charger to the battery terminals (red = “positive”, black = “negative”). – You can now plug the mains cable of the
charger into the power socket and switch
on the charger.
– When charging is completed: switch th e charger off and unplug the mains cable
from the power socket.
– Only then should you disconnect th e terminal clamps of the charger.
– Reconnect the cables to the battery (first of all “positive”, then “negative”).
It is not normally necessary to disconnect the cables of th e battery if you recharge the
battery using low amperages (as for example from a mini-charger). Please also refer
to the instructions from the charger manufacturer.
A charging current of 0.1 of the total battery capacity (or lower) is that which should be
used until full charging is achieved.
It is, however, necessary to disconnect both cables before charging the battery with
high amperages, so-called “ quick-charging”.
“Quick-charging” a battery is dangerous  in “Working on the battery” on
page 210. It requires a special charger an d appropriate knowledge. We therefore
recommend that you have your battery quic k-charged only by an authorised Škoda
Service Partner.
A discharged battery may already freeze at temperatures just below 0°C . We
recommend that you no longer use a battery which has thawed out because the casing
of the battery may be cracked through the formation of ice and this would allow
battery electrolyte to flow out.
The vent plugs of the battery should not be opened for charging.
WARNING
Never charge a frozen or thawed battery - risk of explosion and caustic burns.
Replace a frozen battery.
Never charge a battery which has a too lo w electrolyte level - risk of explo-
sion and caustic burns.
