Subject index  at the end of this booklet helps you to rapidly find the information 
you are looking for.
Brief information and instructions
Each section has a  Heading.
This is followed by  Brief information (in large italic lettering), which tells you the 
subject which is dealt with in this section.
Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an  Instruction (in large letters) which 
explains to you in a straightforward way the action you have to take.  Work steps 
which have to be carried out begin with a hyphen.
Special equipment
Equipment which is marked * is only standa rd on certain vehicle model versions or 
only suppliable as special equipment for certain models.
Notes
All three kinds of notes (WARNING! Caution!  and Note), which are contained in the 
text, are stated at the end of the respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked  with the heading WARNING!. These 
Warning notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury.

A  Caution! note draws your attention to the possibility of damage to your vehicle 
or points out general risks of an accident.
Note
A normal  Note draws your attention in a general way to important information for 
the operation of your unit.

Special equipment 
The navigation system SatCompass offers yo u an easy handling of the convenience 
equipment radio, CD player and navigation  system in the vehicle. The system can 
be equipped with an original  6-compartment CD changer*.
Navigation
The navigation system is your “intelligent front passenger ”. You can reach the 
desired destination quickly, easily and reliably without time-consuming map 
searching from the starting point of your  trip. In unknown locations it saves you 
time by guiding you to the next filling stat ion. You can make an intermittent stop on 
the road, in order e.g. to go and eat in a restaurant or to visit a sight. The system uses 
the data stored on the navigation CD for  the calculation of the trip destination. 
During the guidance you will receive via different screen displays information about 
vehicle position; notes regarding turns (direction and distance until the turn) and 
the arrival time at the trip destination.
Announcement of the ŠkodaAuto navigation system
Under certain requirements the system must be announced, as it is equipped with 
a radio unit.
How does the navigation system function?
The current vehicle position is determined  using satellites. The distance travelled is 
measured by the ABS. The direction of travel is determined using a gyroscope. The 
navigation system is provided with this information and compared with the stored 
data.
Outside the densely populated areas it is possible that this type of locating does not 
permit exact position definition. In this case the locating is performed via satellites. 
This type of locating is referred to as  Global  Positioning  System (GPS ) - global satel-
lite locating system.

Important information
Warranty
The same warranty terms apply for the equipment as for new vehicles.
Note
A damage in the sense of the warranty  must not be the result from improper 
handling of the system or from unprofe ssional repair attempts. In addition, no 
external damage must be present.
Replacement possibility
After the expiration of the warranty, a unit  in need of repair will be replaced inex-
pensively with a reconditioned, original unit with spare part warranty. However it is 
required that there is no housing damage  and no unauthorised repair attempts 
have been made.
Note
In the case of a warranty or a replacement service, the Škoda Service Partner must 
be presented with the unit card wi th code number and serial number!  The unit 
card can be found at the back of the operating instructions.
Information on how to operate the navigation system 
The requirements of today's street traffic demand from the driver that he always 
concentrates fully when driving.
The extensive and fastidious equipment details of this system offer - besides the 
possibilites of entertainment - also a wide range of information which will help you 
reach the trip destination quickly and reliably.
Only if the traffic situation allows it, should you operate the navigation system 
with its wide range of possibilites. The volume settings must be selected in su
ch a way that acoustic signals from the 
outside, such as e.g. a Martins horn from  utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances 
and fire brigade), can be heard at any time.
WARNING
Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around you! As the 
driver you are fully responsible for the traffic safety. Only use the functions 
in such a way that you always maintain the control over your vehicle in all 
traffic situations!
Anti-theft coding
After removing the unit, the anti-theft coding prevents electronically the use of the 
unit by an unauthorised person.
If the information “SAFE ” appears in the display after switching on the unit, it can 
only be operated again by entering the correct code  ⇒page 15.
Before using the navigation system 
•Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
•Street and location names can be changed. There are exceptional cases in 
which the names stored on the CD migh t not correspond to the changed names.
•The route calculated by  the navigation system is a recommendation for 
reaching the trip destination. While driving please pay attention to stopping restric-
tions, traffic lights, one-way streets, toe  change restrictions, channels and ferries.
WARNING
The road traffic legislation (StVO) is always applicable, also if a driving 
recommendation does not comply with the StVO.

antee a proper functioning of the navigation system.
•Store the non-used navigation CD in the bag provided for this.

Functional description of the buttons
Switching the system on and off
– The system is switched on or off  by pressing the rotary/push knob  .
The audio source or the navigation status  (if the last route guidance dates back

•If the information “ SAFE” appears in the display afte r switching on the unit, it 
can only be operated again by  entering the correct code ⇒page 15.
Button 
With the navigation system there is the poss ibility to record traffic information over 
a period of 2 and/or 24 hours.  Up to nine  traffic reports with a total duration of 
maximum 4 minutes can be automatically recorded.
The TP stations always record traffic report s during operation, also if the play func-
tion is aborted by pressing the button    . In the case of EON stations, also the 
recording is aborted.
If the system is switched off, the reports are only recorded if the function TIM is acti-
vated.
Activate 24 hour TIM readiness
•If the system is switched off and the ignition key is withdrawn, hold the button     pressed for a few seconds.
Activate 2 hour TIM readiness
•Withdraw the ignition key when the system is switched on and the vehicle is 
stationary. The recording readiness is deactivated by switching the system on.
Note
•The 24 hour TIM readiness leads to an increased power consumption over 24 
hours. This can lead to problems with th e voltage of the vehicle battery, if the 
vehicle is only driven on short distance s. In this case the 24 hour TIM readiness 
should not be activated.
•The oldest traffic information will be overwritten if the traffic information 
memory is full. If a report lasts more than  four minutes, the beginning of this report 
is overwritten.
Button 
The display contrast can be set with the button    . – Press the button  .
– The contrast can be set by pressing the menu knob  .

Button 
With the button     incoming traffic re
ports can be displayed in the display 
via the  TMC (T raffic  Message  Channel - traffic message ch annel). These reports are 
used by the navigation system for the dy namic route guidance, if this option is 
active  ⇒page 29.
The number of received traffic repo rts is shown below the display “TMC” through 
corresponding points.
If the button     is pressed, a text appears in the display. In the standard field 
- background - of the display ⇒ page 9, fig. 2 the number of the indicated report 
and the number of stored re ports is shown behind “TRAFFIC INFO”.
To change in-between individual reports, turn the menu knob  .
