Anti-theft protection
The anti-theft coding of your navigation system prevents an operation of the sys-
tem 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 be-
fore 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 entering the correct four-digit code number. The
number of the possible attempts is shown in the second touch-screen line.
– Press a digit from 0 to
9 on the digit block displayed on the screen. The digit
is accepted in the entry line.
– After a four-digit order has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (in-
active) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
– Press  on the touch-screen to erase the digits in the entry line from right to
left and thereby correct your input, if necessary.
– If the correct code is displayed in the entry line, press the function key OK .
Code number
The code number can only be called up
“online” via the ŠKODA system, as this
guarantees even more effective anti-theft protection. Please contact your author-
ized ŠKODA Service Partner, if necessary.
Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is confirmed after entry of the code, the procedure can be re-
peated once again . The number of possible attempts is shown in the second line
on the touch-screen.
If the code is entered incorrectly a second time, the unit will be blocked for ap-
prox. one hour. It is possible to enter again the safety code after one hour has ex-
pired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
If two invalid attempts are then made again, the navigation system will be
blocked again for an hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for 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). Manual input of the code is normally not
necessary. Ð
Special functions Parking aid
If your vehicle is equipped with a

“parking aid” and after it is activated, the dis-
tance to the obstacle is shown in the display.
Climatronic
If you vehicle is equipped with Climatronic, information from Climatronic is shown
in the display. Ð

General information

Voice control of the radio navigation system
General information
Introduction Thanks to this equipment, you can operate a few functions of your navigation sys-
tem via the microphone installed in the vehicle; a so-called “Speak what you see
on the touch-screen” system.
You can use the voice control in the operating modes RADIO, MEDIA, PHONE, MAP
and NAV .
You can adjust the volume during the call at any time by turning the control but-
ton 1 .
Switch on voice control (dialogue)
● Press the button  .
Switching off voice control (dialogue)
● After running the voice command, voice control switches off automatically.
● By pressing one of the buttons which are located on the side of the touch-
screen of the unit or by touching the touch-screen (if the button Fade out is not
pressed in the help display).
● By pronouncing the command “Cancel ”.
● If the system does not receive a command or does not recognise the command
while the dialogue is switched on, it answers with the question
“Pardon?” and
thus makes it possible to pronounce a new command. If the system does not re-
ceive a second voice command, you will be offered help. If the system does not
receive a third voice command, you receive the message “ Cancel” and the voice
control switches off.
Optimum understanding of the commands depends on several factors:
● Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
● Avoid a bad pronunciation.
● Do not use any abbreviations - always pronounce the full command.
● Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement. As long as the system
has not finished the announcement, it will not react to an additional command.
● Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, in order to avoid disturbing influen-
ces of the environment on the understanding of the commands. ●
We recommend to speak louder at higher speeds; but with a calm voice, so
that the increased surrounding noise does not drown out the command.
● During the dialogue limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. simultaneously
talking occupants.
● The microphone for voice control is directed to the driver as well as to the
front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passenger can operate the
unit. Ð
Dialogue The period of time in which the system is ready to receive voice commands and to
carry them out is called a
dialogue. The system reacts with an audible feedback
and guides you through the individual functions.
Selecting long and short dialogue
The nature of the dialogue can be set by pressing the button  on the unit and
by pronouncing the command

“long dialogue ” or “short dialogue ”.
The nature of the dialogue can also be set manually in the operating mode SETUP
→ Voice control →
Dialogue style →
Long or
Short .
If you select the short dialogue, the system shortens some messages or replaces
them by an audible signal (gong), thus the operation is accelerated.
If you select the long dialogue, the system gives the whole message without
shortening it.
The entered voice commands are the same for the long and short dialogue.
Interrupt messages
The message just given can be ended by briefly pressing the button  on the
unit. Thus, it is possible to pronounce an additional voice command sooner. Ð
Voice commands The voice control is only possible in the following languages:
Czech, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Italian .8
Voice control of the radio navigation system

Due to the large number of possible voice commands, we give here only a few ex-
amples. Therefore, please observe the system guidelines when entering voice
commands.
The system only recognises 30 000 entries (i.e, it will only recognise 30 000 of
the largest cities for the selected country, for example, in the operating mode
NAV
. If the desired city is not included in the 30 000 entries, it cannot be pro-
nounced normally, but it must be entered by spelling it out.
Call up the general information for the voice control by briefly pressing the button  on the unit and by pronouncing the command “Instructions”. Then you hear a
message that the instructions are divided into seven parts. If you want more de-
tailed information about individual parts of the instructions, pronounce for exam-
ple the command
“Manual part 2”.
Call up the general help for individual operating modes by briefly pressing the but-
ton  on the unit and by pronouncing the command “Help short commands”

.
Changing between the operating modes
If you wish to change between the operating modes after switching on the voice
control, always pronounce the name of the operating mode in which you wish to
change. This means, if you are in the operating mode RADIO and you wish to
change into the operating mode MEDIA pronounce the command “Media”. Always
pronounce the names of the operating modes PHONE, MAP, NAV as “Telephone,
map, navigation ”.
In each operating mode, you can also use the voice commands for other operating
modes - the device automatically switches between the different operating
modes.
Voice command “Help”
Help can be called up by pronouncing the command “ Help”. Depending on the op-
erating mode in which you are, the help given will offer different possibilities. If
the possibilities offered are not sufficient, pronounce the command “further op-
tions”.
If you pronounce the command “Help”, you can hear a message on how the com-
mand should be correctly pronounced (e.g. “auto Zoom ”).
Help display
If you want the help to be displayed on the touch-screen of the unit, you must on-
ly activate it (then deactive it) manually in the operating modes SETUP → Voice control →
Visual help . The help display can be set separately for each operating mode in the system (this
means, if you only set the help display for the operating mode
MAP, it is only dis-
played in this operating mode).
The range of these commands is indicated in the pop-up window Possible com-
mands are:
If you do not wish the help display to be shown when the dialogue is switched on,
pronounce the command

“Fade out” while you are in the help display or press the
function key Fade out . The help display is shown again after repeatedly switching
on the dialogue.
Voice recording
In the operating modes PHONE, NAV and RADIO a short voice recording can be set
up; after pronouncing the recorded term the desired command is carried out (e.g.
in the operating mode PHONE, a voice recording can be set up besides a tele-
phone contact and after pronouncing it the system carries out the selection pro-
cedure. Ð
Further voice commands If you wish to scroll through the lists in the operating modes
MEDIA, PHONE, NAV,
RADIO (e.g. in the operating mode RADIO in the list of the radio station), you must
pronounce the command

“next page” or “previous page”.
If you are in a list in which the details are shown (e.g. in the operating modes NAV,
New dest. ,
Last destinations ), pronounce the command “Options for entry
” and then
select a number by pronouncing the command
“Options for entry 3” or “Info for
entry 3 ”.
Certain voice commands in the operating mode RADIO
If you pronounce the command “Read station list ”, the system reads the list of
the radio stations. The desired selected radio station can be selected by briefly
pressing the button  on the unit during the message, then the system offers
selection possibilities for the selected entry.
If you directly pronounce a station name, the system switches over to the desired
station.

Certain voice commands in the operating mode PHONE
The digits zero to nine are permitted. The system detects no continuous digit
combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two,
three).
You can enter the telephone number as a continuous row, as individually spoken
digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated by
short pauses). After each digital block (separated by a short pause) the system re-
peats the detected digits.
Before entering the digits, you can enter additionally a symbol
“Plus (+)” for inter-
national calls.
If you pronounce the command “Read out telephone book ”, the system reads out
the telephone book. The desired telephone contact can be selected by briefly
pressing the button  on the unit during the message, then the system offers
selection possibilities for the selected entry.
Certain voice commands in the operating mode MAP
Examples for voice commands in order to operate buttons on the touch-screen of
the unit or examples for voice commands for which no help display is indicated:
● “Driving direction ”  and “Direction North ” - changes the orientation of the
map,
● “Move map ”
- moves the map, then pronounce the command “ to the left”, “to
the right”, “up”, “down”,
● “Position map ” or “Reset display” - if the display of the current position  on
the map has moved with the complete map from the centred position to both
sides, to the top or to the bottom, the map is again centred. ●
“Orientation zoom ”
, “Rocket zoom”  - briefly switches the map display to the
overview display (small scale). It returns again to the last display (large scale) after
a few seconds,
● “Zoom in” + or “zoom out”
- - enlarges or reduces the map scale.
● “Show info ” - shows info (e.g GPS coordinates) of the entry which was dis-
played in the map.
● “Save ”
 - if you wish to save for example the selected route in the operating
mode NAV .
Certain voice commands in the operating mode NAV
If you pronounce the name of the desired city and the system is not sure about
the entry made or the name of the city is identical to other cities, it offers a list of
cites with the utmost probability. You can scroll through the commands
“next
page” or “ previous page” in the list, then chose the desired city by pronouncing
the command e.g. “Number 1 ” or “1”.
While in the operating mode NAV, the system does not allow you to enter post co-
des. Ð10
