You can select another audio source on  the radio at any time. As long as the 
external audio source is not switched off,  it remains always active in the back-
ground.
Please refer to the Owner's manual of the respective manufacturer for the opera-
tion of the external audio source.
Use the standard jack plug 3.5 mm for the  AUX socket. If the external audio source 
does not have this jack pl ug, you must use an adapter.

volume control on the radio.
Depending on the connected audio source , the output volume on the external 
audio source can be changed.
You can also change the input sensitivity of  the external audio source, in order for 
the play function volume of the external audio source to adapt to other audio 
sources or to avoid distortions of the play function volume.
Adapter
A special adapter is required to connect audio sources via the input MDI. We recommend that you purchase an adap
ter for connecting the USB devices, the 
devices with Mini USB output or an iPod , at an authorized Škoda Service Partner.

Range selector key NAV (Navigation)23
Range selector key NAV (Navigation)OverviewSafety 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
Always concentrate fully on your drivin g. Inattention by the driver can lead 
to accidents and injuries.•
Do not allow yourself to be distracted or loose your concentration, pay 
attention to the traffic situation and do not carry out settings or use the radio 
navigation system.
•
Only use the radio navigation system if road, weather and traffic situa-
tions permit this and you are not distracted.
•
The various volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible 
signals from the outside, su ch as e.g. a Martins horn from police cars and fire 
brigade, can be heard at all times.
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 always have priority over the 
driving recommendations provided  by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to constant 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.
•
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not 
allow the navigation system to make you drive faster in fog – risk of 
accident!
GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radi o 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.
The route will be recalculated if you leave or disregard the route that was originally 
calculated. This process  takes only a few seconds.
The last voice response can be repeated  by pressing the button   or the menu 
control button  . The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed 
whilst it is being made.

underground garage. The uni t will orientate itself via the wheel sensors.
Note
All dtns. (country-, village-, road-, special destination names) must be entered 
including all country specific (or language-spe cific for points of interest) special 
characters.Navigation data, navigation CD and memory cardInserting the navigation CD
– Push a navigation CD with the written side facing up as far as possible  into the CD case until it is automatically drawn in.
– If you wish to take out the na vigation CD, press the button  .
Update navigation data
– If the data of the  navigation CD is not identical to the data on the SD 
card, a corresponding message will be displayed.
– Press on the function key   to overwrite the data stored on the SD  card with the data from the navigation CD.
Store the navigation data from the navigation CD onto the memory 
card
– Push a navigation CD with the written side facing up as far as possible  into the CD case until it is automatically drawn in.
– Push the memory card into the card case  .
– Press the range selector key   and while in the main menu  Navi-
gation , press the range selector key  .
– Select the function key   using the menu control 
button   and then press the function keys   and  .
The navigation data can be stored ei ther on the CD or on the SD card.
If an SD card with navigation data of the  same country as on the CD is inserted in 
the unit (however the data on the CD corr espond to a newer version), a question is 
displayed after inserting the CD asking if  the data should be overwritten with the 
new version or if only the data of th e CD should be used for navigating.
If an SD card is inserted with the cards of other countries than the card contained 
on the CD, a question is displayed asking if the data on the CD should be added 
onto the SD card or if only the data of the CD should be used.
You can copy data from several navigation  CDs onto an SD card. The navigation 
data on the SD card are automatically li nked by the navigation system. For this 
reason, we recommend to use an SD card  with sufficient memory capacity. A 
memory capacity of approx. 4°GB is necess ary in order to copy the navigation data 
of Western Europe. 
Using the data of a navigation CD for a short period of time
If you only drive for short periods through an area which is not stored on the SD 
card, insert the navigation CD for the driven area.
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 certain 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.
Remaining function buttons
The following function buttons are only active  if a navigation CD is inserted in the 
unit and the memory card contains navigation data.•
 - displays information regarding the navigation CD 
(area and version number of the navigation CD);
•
 - displays information regarding the stored naviga-
tion data and their volume;
