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 station. 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 navi-
gation 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 radio navigation system
Under certain requirements the system must be announced, as it is
equipped with a radio unit.
How does the radio 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 informa-
tion 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 Posi-
tioning System (GPS ) - global satellite 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 unprofessional repair attempts.
In addition, no external damage must be present.

tion. You can select via the map type if e.g. the current vehicle position
should be shown together with the destination. The move mode makes it
possible to view the neighbouring map details. Other symbols can be
selected via the map content. The segment fields change the map scale.
You can change from the map display to the symbol display with menu
field “Symbol ”.
Symbol display
If the guidance is active, you are being offered the option of a symbol
display with turn information or map display.
The show depends on which display was active during the last guidance.
The symbol display shows the number of GPS satellite receptions and the
status of the tailback function, the estimated arrival time or the length of
the trip and the distance to the destination, the display of the direction of
travel, the distance markings to the intersection/junction with the distance
information and the name of the currently driven road. Before a turn proce-
dure, the display of the direction of travel points in the direction you are
turning into. In addition the name of the street you are turning into is
indicated.
You can switch back and forth at any time between both types of
display . The map is called up from the symbol display by pressing the
menu knob . You can then can change back in the symbol display by
pressing the button .
Switching the unit on and off
– The system is switched on or off by pressing the rotary/push knob . – If the key is pulled out of the ignition lock when the system is
switched on, the system sw itches off autmatically.
If the ignition key is withdrawn the system can be switched on for
approx. one hour via the rotary/push knob . Then the unit switches off
automatically. This process can be repeated as often as desired.
If the unit is switched off and the ignition key is withdrawn, a flashing LED
indicates (below the display button ) that this is a unit with an active
anti-theft coding.
First of all the start screen is indicated with the Škoda logo.
After this, a menu or a display (here radio information display) is indicated
on the screen, which was active at the last switching off of the system.
In addition a message appears on the screen: “ The navigation system
is activated. Please follow the StVO! ”
Note
•If the unit remains mute after switching on and “ SAFE” appears in the
display, please pay attention to the instructions for use.
•A non-conclusive entry is not stored when switching off the unit.

•the clock is automatically set via the GPS. The GPS system transmits
the universal time UTC This results in a time lag of two hours compared
to the middle european summer time and of one hour compared to the
winter time, which must be manually rectified. This is e.g. important for a
precise information about the arrival time at the destination.
Illumination
•You can select if the illumination of the screen should be performed
manually via the button or automatically when switching on the car
lights.
GPS viewer
•GPS (Global Positioning System, i.e. Global Positioning System) is a
navigation system of the Pentagon. It consists of 25 satellites, which circle
around the earth at an altitude of 21 000 km. Signals from at least three
satellites are received so that the system can determine the current
vehicle position.
The called up information screen gives information about:
•Number of available satellites
•Number of receiveable satellites
•current geographic vehicle position
Note
If less than three satellites are received, then appears the note “ The
geographic position cannot be determined at this moment in time ”.
