Introductory information  
Compatibility  
Important information  
On the ŠKODA pages, check to see if Infotainment is compatible with the se-  
lected mobile devices. This check takes place by reading the QR code  
» Fig. 161 or after typing the following address into the web browser.  
Introduction to the subject  
WARNING  
http://go.skoda.eu/compatibility  
■
Only use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle  
Applications  
in every traffic situation (e.g. Do not write text messages while driving, do  
not couple or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do  
not enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Oth-  
erwise there is a risk of an accident!  
Applications can be installed in external devices (e.g. Mobile, tablet) making it  
possible to display additional information in the Infotainment screen or to op-  
erate Infotainment.  
Due to the variety of applications as well as their ongoing development, the  
available applications may not work in all external devices. ŠKODA AUTO can  
accept no liability for their proper function.  
■
Always route the connection cable of the external device in such a way  
that it does not restrict you when driving.  
The range of available applications and their functionality is dependent on the  
Infotainment type, as well as vehicle and region.  
WARNING  
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-  
cle, e.g. sirens from emergency vehicles, can be heard at all times.  
■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
