But you should only operate the navigation system with its wide range of 
possibilities when the traffic situation allows.
The volume settings must be selected in  such a way that audible signals from the 
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire 
brigade), can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please concentrate fully at  all times on your driving! As the driver you are 
fully responsible for road safety. Only use the functions in such a way that 
you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!Before using the navigation system•
Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
•
Street and location names can be change d. It is therefore possible that the 
names stored on the CD might not correspond to the changed names.
•
The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommendation for 
reaching the intended destination. While  driving please pay attention to stopping 
restrictions, traffic lights, one-way streets, lane change restrictions, canals and 
ferries.
WARNING
Road traffic legislation (StVO) applies  at all times, even if a driving recom-
mendation contradicts the StVO.
Caution
•
Inserting a second CD while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in 
the unit. Please note that the CD ejecti on lasts a few seconds after pressing the 
Eject button   . During this time the lock in fr ont of the CD case is open. It is 
essential that you wait until the CD has been  fully ejected before you try to insert a 
new CD.
•
Press the buttons and the keys of the unit gently in order to avoid damaging 
them. Gentle pressure on  the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit. 
Please note that the rotary/push knobs  have predetermined breaking points, in 
order to reduce the risk of injury.
•
Please note that a dirty or scratched na vigation CD can considerably impair the 
speed and the functions of the navigation system.
Using the displayCarefully handle the display because dent s and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects.
The display can be cleaned wi th a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away 
with pure alcohol. 
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or  petrol as they will corrode the display 
surface.Anti-theft protectionAnti-theft codingYour radio is equipped with  a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated for 
the first time, the safety code is not only st ored in the radio but also in the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the ignition 
and then the radio.
If you wish to install the radio in another  vehicle, the safety code must be entered. 
In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a Škoda Service Partner or a Škoda 
importer.
As the unit only functions afte r entering the safety code, this practically excludes its 
use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.

NavigationOverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if  you ignore driving recommendations or 
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommendations 
can only then be re-transmitted.
Incomplete navigation data
The navigation system cannot receive any data from GPS satellites if you drive for 
longer periods under thick forest canopy or  when your vehicle is in a garage, under-
pass or tunnel. In this case, the navigation system orientates itself solely with the 
help of the vehicle sensors.
In regions not at all or only partially digitalised and stored as such on the navigation 
CD, the navigation system will try to prov ide guidance to the destination. Please 
note that under these circumstances the  guidance to the destination may not be 
completely correct if, for example, one-wa y streets and road categories (motorway, 
country road etc.) are not at all or only  partially included in the navigation data 
used.
WARNING
Please observe the legal requirements  for road traffic when following the 
driving recommendations provided by your radio navigation system.•
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situa-
tions, e.g. due to road works or out of  date navigation data. In such a case, 
always observe the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommenda-
tions.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations al ways have priority over the driving 
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to consta nt changes despite the information 
about one-way streets, pedestrian zone s etc. stored on the navigation CD. 
Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop- ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not 
included in the radio navigation system.
Navigation CDInserting the navigation CD
– Insert the CD into the CD case  . The program stored on the naviga-
tion CD is loaded. Do not remove the navigation CD before the 
loading process is finished.After route guidance has started, the na vigation CD may not be taken out under 
certain circumstances, e.°g in order to play an Audio CD.
Up to date navigation data and new navigation CD
Road guidance is subject to  constant changes (e.g. new streets, changes of street 
names and house numbers). A navigation CD  is a huge data store, which unfortu-
nately will not be up to date after a certai n time. This can lead to complaints during 
route guidance.
It is for this reason that you must regula rly update the navigation data on your unit 
with a current navigation CD.GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radio  or play CDs during the route guidance 
When entering an address (town, street),  only those letters or symbols which make 
up a logical entry will be presented. A list  of possible names will be shown. Do not 
forget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such as 
High Wycombe.
WARNING (continued)
