Equipment which is marked * is only stan 
dard on certain model versions or suppli- 
able as special equipment for certain models.Important informationWarrantyThe equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles. After the expiration of the warranty, a piec 
e of equipment in need of repair will be  
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, however, a precondition that the housing has  
not been damaged and no unauthorised  
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 from unprofession 
al repair attempts. It is also essential  
that there is no external damage.Operation of 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 change 
d. 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 a
ttention to stopping  
restrictions, traffic lights, one-way streets, 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 ejecti 
on lasts a few seconds after pressing the  
Eject button 
  . During this time the lock in fr
ont 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.•
Please note that a dirty or scratched na 
vigation CD can considerably impair the  
speed and the functions of the navigation system.Using the displayCarefully handle the display because dent 
s and scratches can occur through pres- 
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects. The display can be cleaned wi 
th a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away  
with pure alcohol. 
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or  
petrol as they will corrode the display  
surface.Anti-theft protectionAnti-theft codingYour radio is equipped with  
a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated for  
the first time, the safety code is not only st 
ored in the radio but also in the vehicle. 
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the ignition  and then the radio. If you wish to install the radio in another  
vehicle, the safety code must be entered.  
In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a Škoda Service Partner or a Škoda  importer. As the unit only functions afte 
r entering the safety code, this practically excludes its  
use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.

Note
The code is stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is automatically  decoded (convenience coding). Manual  
input of the code is normally not  
necessary.Enter code– Switch on the radio if the ignition is on. – Enter the safety code using the button  .– Confirm the safety code by pressing the button   for a long time.If you have confirmed a wrongly entered co 
de, you can repeat once again the entire  
process. If the code number is entered incorrectl 
y for the second time, the unit will be  
blocked for approx. one hour. The safety co 
de can only be entered again after one  
hour has expired, with the unit switched on 
 and the ignition key in the ignition lock. 
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for  
an hour - will continue to apply.
Note
•
Incorrect entries can be corrected with the function keys   (back)  ,    
(forward)   and with    .•
After entering the fo 
ur-digit code number 
OK
   is activated in the display.
Basic settingSwitching the unit on and off– The s ys tem is s witched on o r o ff by turning /  pressing  the ro ta r y / push

If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock with the unit switched on, the unit wil  switch off automatically. You can switch 
 on again the unit by pressing the  
rotary/push knob  . If the engine is switch 
ed off, the unit (disc
harge protection of  
the vehicle battery) switches off au 
tomatically after approx. one hour. 
If you have switched off the radio by  
withdrawing the ignition key, the radio

System”) serves to transmit program identification and additional  
services therefore also enabling automatic tracking of stations. In the event of sufficiently satisfactory reception the suitable RDS radio stations will  display the station name instead of the station frequency. If a radio station sends additional inform 
ation via the RDS function while a station  
is being stored, it can occur that the name of the radio station is later displayed  incorrectly in the memory list. Changing station name You can manually adapt the station name. Select a stored station and wait until its correct name is shown in the display and  then press the button  .

Irrespective of which radio station is heard, 
 an additional receiver part in the unit  
ensures that a traffic information station can  
always be received as long as the traffic  
information function is switched on. In the info field of the display, a  
traffic announcement is shown with 
traffic  
announcement 
. 
Incoming traffic announcement If you wish to interrupt the transmission  
of the traffic announcement, press on the  
button   (Read out in display: 
  cancel
). However the TP function still remains  
available. A short signal tone sounds if you select a  
station without TP function when the TP  
function is switched on or if no tra 
ffic information station is selected when  
switching on the TP f 
unction. Instead of TP 
⇒page 6, fig. 3  
 only two lines are  
displayed in the frame. However the TP function remains switched on. If now you change to another audio source (e.°g CD), 
 the unit in the background automatically  
switches over to another TP station and  
the traffic announcemen
ts of the station  
are replayed.Displaying TMC traffic reportsTMC traffic reports are used during  
route guidance, depending on set-up  
for the automatic optimization of the route, to report possible traffic problems. – Press the function key   to display the current traffic reports in  
a list. 
– You can call up further informatio 
n in addition to the announced  
reports with the button  . You can be informed about the traffic situ-ation on your route and if necessary change the route when the route guidance begins.
During route guidance all se 
t-up depending TMC traffic reports are displayed in the  
surrounding area of the location or only th 
ose specified on the calculated route list.
Note
•
During route guidance all set-up depending TMC traffic reports are displayed in  
the surrounding area of the location or on 
ly those specified on the calculated route  
list.•
The unit has a continuous background of 
 TMC traffic reports providing a TMC  
station at the current location can be rece 
ived. The station you are listening to does  
not have to be a TMC station.•
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluate 
d and stored by the unit if the naviga- 
tion data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit memory or can be called up via an inserted navigation CD.•
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traffic  
announcements. The radio stations broadc 
asting this information are responsible  
for the content.
