10.2 SmartGate system - check the correct
function

From CW 06/2017 (Facelift), the SmartGate system functions
are integrated into the Control unit 1 for information electronics
- J794- together with other functions (see ⇒ Owner's Manual
Octavia III , Infotainment, SmartLink +).
Correct communication within the scope of the SmartGate sys‐
tem relies on the customer's communications equipment (e.g.,
mobile phone/tablet) functioning correctly, and on the software
applications being installed.
Not every cell phone/tablet is compatible within the scope of
the SmartGate system.
For details of mobile phone/tablet compatibility, and the avail‐
able applications, visit the ŠKODA website (www.skoda-
auto.com).
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. assumes no responsibility for any problems
due to incompatibility or improper function of cell phones/tab‐
lets or the applications installed on them
For a detailed description of the functions, operations and con‐
nection see the ⇒ Owner's Manual Octavia III .
The correct function of the SmartGate system is verified by the

nostic tester, cell phones, tablets, and laptops, referred to as
