7RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
The radio navigation system makes it very
easy to operate the convenient radio, CD and
navigation features in your vehicle. You can also
equip the system with an original Škoda 6-disc
CD changer.
Navigation
The navigation system is your "Intelligent pas
-
senger". With its help, you can travel from your
current location to any selected destination quick -
ly, easily and safely without having to use a lot of
complicated roadmaps. In cities and towns unfa -
miliar to you, for example, you can drive directly
to the nearest petrol station. The system uses
the data stored on the navigation CD to calcula -
te the route to the selected destination. During
route guidance, different display modes provide
you with visual driving recommendations, such
as where to turn (direction and distance to the
next turning point), information on your estimated
time of arrival, on the remaining travelling time
and the distance to your destination.
In addition, you can also receive "spoken" driving
recommendations from your radio navigation
system. How does navigation work?
T h e e l e c t r o n i c s p e e d o m e t e r s i g n a l a n d
the locating signals received from the GPS
satellites (Global Positioning System) are used
to determine the vehicle‘s current position. The
route travelled is measured by the speedometer
signal. This information is fed into the navigation
system and compared to the map information
stored there.
Important notes
Operating the radio navigation system
while driving
The demands of today‘s road traffic require the
full concentration of road users at all times.
Never operate the radio navigation system
with its many different features unless traffic
conditions permit. Do not adjust any of the
basic settings for the radio navigation system
or enter your destination information unless
your vehicle is stationary.
The different volume settings should be selected
so that acoustic signals from the outside, e.g.
police or fire brigade sirens, can be heard at
all times.
Always devote your attention primarily to
driving! As the driver of a motor vehicle,
you bear full responsibility for your road
safety. Never operate the radio navigation
system in a way that could interfere with
your ability to maintain control of your
vehicle in all traffic situations!
N o t e s o n u s i n g t h e r a d i o n a v i g a t i o n
system
• The route calculated by the navigation system
is a recommendation on how best to reach
your selected destination. The Road Traffic
Rules always take priority over any driving
r e c o m m e n d a t i o n p r o v i d e d . S h o r t - t e r m
changes in traffic conditions, such as road
works or one-way street regulations are not
included on the CDs.
• Street and place names may change. In rare
cases, the names stored on the CD might not
be the same as those used now.
• If you have your tyres changed, the system
may not operate correctly until the navigation
system has determined the new tyre size. For
more information, please read the section on
NAVIGATION SETUP on page 14.

When you access this menu, the selection bar
will mark ROUTE GUIDANCE. The function
currently assigned to the Macro button will be
marked by an arrow.Clock setup
Use this menu to set the system time. It is not
possible to alter the GPS TIME menu item. It
is used to calculate the system time via GPS
reception. If the GPS time is available, it will not
be possible to alter the system time manually. TIME ZONE - This is where you can enter the
time difference between your current time zone
and world standard time (UTC), (see page 64).
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
- Select ON if you
are in a country where daylight savings time is
in effect.
SYSTEM TIME - Use the menu knob
to select the menu item SYSTEM TIME and confirm your
selection. Now turn the knob to alter the hours. To
alter the minutes press the menu knob
again. Turn the menu knob to alter the minutes and press it to exit this menu.
Note: You cannot alter the system time unless
it is not possible to receive GPS time.
The time zone and summer time must be
adjusted manually.

22RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEM
AUDIO OPERATION
Radio operation with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS (Radio Data System) is always active for
the radio navigation system.
In addition to their regular programming, an in-
creasing number of radio stations also transmits
RDS information that is picked up and evaluated
by the RDS receiver in coded form.
This information includes the radio station name
and the traffic information status for the radio
station selected.
Alternate frequency
The alternate frequency function ensures that the
system always tunes into the best frequency for
the currently selected radio station.
The radio may briefly switch to mute while sear -
ching for the frequency with the best reception.
If the system is unable to find an alternate fre-
quency for the station selected and it is no lon -
ger possible to pick up this station in satisfactory
quality, please select another station.
Radio operation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
In addition to their regular programming, a num -
ber of radio stations also transmits digital traffic
information on the Traffic Message Channel.
These messages are picked up by your naviga -
tion system and can be used for dynamic route
guidance (see Selecting route options , page 48
and Activating the traffic congestion function ,
page 58). If a radio station provides TMC service,
TMC will appear in the status line of the display.
TMC stations can be stored in the TC1 and TC2
memory banks. RDS Regional
Radio stations sometimes divide their pro-
gramming into regional programming at certain
times of the day.
At first, the system will tune into only those
alternative frequencies for the radio station
selected.
However, if the reception quality deteriorates to
the point that the radio might “lose” the station,
the system will also switch to frequencies used
by a "related" NDR 1 station. Because these
radio stations sometimes broadcast different
contents, this might mean that you will hear a
different programme.
Switching to regionally related stations
As a rule, the system will only switch to other
frequencies for the same station with the same
PI code. However, if the reception deteriorates
beyond a certain point, the system will also au-
tomatically switch to a regionally related broad-
casting network.

AUDIO OPERATION
Notes on audio CDs
CD label
Make sure that you only play audio CDs that bear
the symbol illustrated here.
Skipping during playback
CDs may skip while you are driving over very
uneven ground.
In this case, switch the CD player off and wait
until the road conditions improve before playing
CDs.
Condensation
Condensation may occur in the CD changer
housing when it is cold or humidity is high, such
as during or after rain showers. This can lead to
skipping or make playback impossible. In this
case, remove the CD or leave the sliding door
of the CD changer open to allow it to dry before
you use it.
Notes on cleaning CDs
Clean CDs with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the
CDs in a straight line from the middle to the
outside edge.
Note: Never use such solvents as alcohol,
petrol, paint thinner or LP cleaner to clean
the CD!
Tone settings

tings
In the Sound menu you can adjust the treble and
bass as well as the balance (left/right speakers)
and fader (front/rear speakers) settings.
The settings for bass and treble can be made
and stored for each sound source individually,
the settings made for balance and fader apply
to all the sound sources.
