General information
4After the expiration of the warranty, a piece of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditione d, original item with spare part warranty. It is,
however, a precondition that the housin g has not been damaged and no unauthor-
ised attempts have been made to carry out repairs.
Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or fr om unprofessional repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage.Information on how to operate the navigation systemThe requirements of today's road traffic demand the driver’s full concentration at
all times.
Apart from the availability entertainmen t, the extensive and demanding equipment
details of this system also offer a wide range of information, which will help you to
reach your destination quickly and safely.
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 changed. 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 street s, 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 ejection lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject button . During this time the lock in front 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.
•
Do not use any pointed or sharp-edged objects to operate the touch-screen.
Slight finger pressure sufficient to operate the equipment. A display on the screen,
which cannot be called up by pressing the button, is therefore not available at that
time.
•
Please note that a dirty or scratched na vigation CD can considerably impair the
speed and the functions of the navigation system.
Screen careTreat the screen with great care, because dents and scratches can occur through
finger pressure or contact with sharp objects.

General information5
The screen can be cleaned with a soft cl oth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol.
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or petrol as they will attack the screen
surface.Anti-theft protectionThe anti-theft coding of your navigati on system prevents an operation of
the system after a voltage interruption, e.g. during a vehicle repair or after
theft. After disconnecting the battery, disconnecting the navigation
system from the on-board voltage of the vehicle and after a fuse failure,
the code must be entered before the vehicle can be used again.
Enter code
– If a keypad appears after switching on with the command to enter the code, the unit can be unlocked by en tering the correct four-digit code
number. The number of the possible attempts is shown in the bottom
screen line.
– Press a digit from to on the digit block displayed on the screen. The digit is accepted in the entry line.
– After a four-digit order has been en tered, the group of digits will turn
grey (inactive) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
– Press on the screen in order to delete the digits in the entry line from right to left and thereby correct your input, if necessary.
– If the correct code number is displayed in the entry line, press .
Code number
The code number can only be called up “onl ine” via the Škoda system, as this guar-
antees even more effective anti-theft pr otection. Please contact your authorized
Škoda Service Partner, if necessary.
Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is confirmed after entry of the code, the procedure can be
repeated twice. The number of possible attempts is shown in the bottom screen
line.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the third time, the unit will be blocked
for approx. one hour. It is possible to ente r again the safety code after one hour has
expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
If three invalid attempts are then made agai n, the navigation system will be blocked
again for an hour.
The cycle - three attempts, blocked fo r an hour - will continue to apply.
Note
The code is normally stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is auto-
matically decoded (convenience coding). Ma nual input of the code is normally not
necessary.

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.
