These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment com-
ponents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the
vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)
where you
bought the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as an addendum to the in-
formation presented in the Owner's Manual of the vehicle. Therefore, they can
be used only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a de- tailed description of some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehi-
cle Manual for your vehicle.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your unit; they are only inten-
ded for general information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in a way that you are in full control of your vehicle in
every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
WARNING (Continued)■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and
fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
Declaration of conformity
Read and observe
on page 4 first.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. hereby declares that the ŠKODA Infotainment systems meet
the basic requirements and additional provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC with
reference to radio equipment and telecommunications devices.
ŠKODA AUTO a.s. hereby declares that the “connection and the use of this
communication device is granted by the Nigerian Communications Commis-
sion.”
Component protection
Read and observe
on page 4 first.
Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protec-
tion.
Component protection serves as a protection mechanism for the following:
› for the impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation
in another vehicle (for example, after a theft);
› for the impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle.
› for the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for re-
pairs at a ŠKODA 1)
specialist garage.
When component protection is enabled, the following message appears on the
unit display Component theft protection: the infotainment system is not fully
available at present. Please switch on the ignition.
If the component protection does not activate by switching on the ignition,
please contact a ŠKODA specialist garage.

WARNING■Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost! As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system so that you are in
full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident!■
Do not use the voice control system when under stress or in an emergen-
cy. Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. The tel-
ephone connection may not be established or the connection may take too
much time to complete. The emergency number should be dialled manually!
Function requirements
Read and observe

Function requirements for voice control. The ignition is switched on.
The unit is switched on.
No phone call is in progress.
The parking aid is not active.
Requirements for optimum voice command recognition.
› Only give voice commands when the symbol is displayed on the device
screen or in the information display.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close doors, windows and the sliding roof, in order to prevent external dis-
turbances affecting recognition of the voice commands.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
› During voice control, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers
talking at the same time.
CAUTION
For some languages, there is no voice control available. This device indicates
this fact through a text message that is displayed after setting the device lan-
guage screen » page 17.Note■
During voice control, no navigation announcements and traffic announce-
ments are played.■
Some voice commands must be spelled out when pronouncing depending on
the selected language of communication, such as the Source Selection “ SD”

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several sender groups, when the signal is poor,
the same station is searched in a different sender group.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
› While the station is being received on the FM band, (
) is displayed after the
station name. The () marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can
be received again
).
› If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception,
the device will be switched to mute.
› If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tun-
nels, when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-
tion.
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different frequency ranges
are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception only in the so-called L-
band.
› If you have any problems with the DAB wireless reception it is necessary to
ensure that the DAB Automatic tuning in L-band is on.
› If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then it is better to
leave this menu item turned off. The channel scan is therefore faster.25Radio

Operation
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio
station for continuous transmission of traffic information.

Traffic report …/….
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report de-
tails » page 64 .
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listen-
ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traf-
fic reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for
the content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switching dynamic route on/off
›
In the Navigation main menu, press
→ Route Options → Dynamic route .
When the Dynamic route » page 48 function is switched on, the traffic reports
influence the dynamic route guidance by means of TMC messages.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are displayed in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g.,
,
,
, etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of
a grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are gui-
ded through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic
reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the

If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies on your route, you can switch on dynamic route guidance during your current route guidance or block the
route manually » page 63.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
