General information
Operating instructions
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 compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The scope of equipment for your vehicle is described in the sales documentation
you were given when purchasing the car. For more information, contact your local
ŠKODA retailer. ÐExplanation of symbols

Safety instructions
WARNING
■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for road safety. Only use the system so that you are in full control of
your vehicle in every traffic situation - risk of accident! ■ 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. Ð Warranty
The equipment warranty terms and conditions apply to this unit just like to new
vehicles - see the service schedule. Ð Screen
CAUTION
■ Do not use solvents such as benzine or turpentine, which may damage the
screen surface.
■ Treat the screen with care, as finger pressure or contact with sharp objects may
cause dents and scratches on the surface. Note
The screen can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol if necessary. Ð Signal receipt
Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio and GPS sig-
nal even causing it to fail completely. Ð Anti-theft protection
The anti-theft coding of your radio navigation 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 radio navigation system from
the on-board voltage of the vehicle or after a fuse failure, the code must be en-
tered before the system can be used again. 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 authorised ŠKODA Service Partner, if neces-
sary.
Enter code
If a keypad appears after switching on with the command to enter the code, the
unit must be unlocked by entering the correct four-digit code.
› Enter the four-digit code using the function keys
0 to
9 . The digit is accepted
in the entry line. 

ÐIntroductory information about CD/DVD mode
Insert CD/DVD
› Insert a CD/DVD, with the labelled side facing up, into the CD/DVD slot 11
until
it is automatically drawn in. The play function will start automatically.
Remove CD/DVD
› Press the button
 – die CD/DVD is ejected.
If the ejected CD /DVD is not taken out within 10 seconds, it will be retracted
again for safety reasons.
CD not legible
If you insert a CD/DVD which cannot be read by the unit, a pop-up window is dis-
played with a note. The CD/DVD is moved to the eject position again after a few
seconds.
If the CD/DVD is not taken out within 10 seconds, it is drawn in again for safety
reasons.
CD to jump
Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.
Formation of condensation
When it is cold and after rain showers, moisture can deposit in the CD/DVD drive
(condensation). This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In such
cases, wait until the moisture has dissipated.
Notes for the care of the CD/DVDs
If a CD/DVD is soiled, never clean it in a circular motion but rather from inside to
outside with a soft lint-free cloth. In case of severe layers of dirt we recommend
to clean the CD/DVD with a commercially available CD/DVD cleaner. Also in this
case, do not clean the CD/DVD in a circular motion but rather from inside to out-
side, and then let it dry. MP3 and WMA Data (Windows Media Audio)
Playable MP3 and WMA data can also be stored on the hard disk of the
unit
» page 18, Hard drive (HDD) .
The copyright of audio data compressed by Windows Media Audio, can also be

NAV mode (Navigation)
Introductory information
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-
tions can only then be re-transmitted.
In regions that are not or only partially digitalised and stored on the navigation
DVD, the radio navigation system will continue to try to provide guidance to the
destination. Please note that under these circumstances the guidance to the des-
tination may not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets and road
categories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in the
navigation data used.
When entering an address (city, 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 last voice output can be repeated by pressing the button or the menu button 15
. The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is being
made.
The GPS satellites will not be able to reach the aerial once you are in a tunnel or
underground garage. In these cases, the unit uses only the vehicle's sensors and
an internal gyroscope for navigation. WARNING
■ Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! Driver inattention can
lead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are fully responsible for road
safety. Only use the functions of the radio navigation system in such a way
that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
■ The following must always have priority over the driving recommendations:
■ the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contradict
the StVO,
■ the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs placed
by the police at the relevant location,
■ the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location. WARNING (Continued)
■ Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
■ Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving rec-
ommendations provided by the navigation system.
■ Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to information
relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-
ta. 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 in-
cluded in the radio navigation system. ■ Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not allow,
for example, the radio navigation system to make you drive faster in fog - risk
of accident!
■ Only if the traffic situation allows it should you operate the radio navigation
system with its wide range of possibilities.
■ The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,
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 recommendations. ■ 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. Note
■ It is not necessary to enter the destinations (country, city, road, point of interest
names) including all country-specific (or language-specific for points of interest)
special characters. ■ Depending on the country, some functions of the radio navigation system can
no longer be selected on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction,
but corresponds to the legal requirements of the particular country. Ð Navigation data and the navigation DVD
The navigation data are already available after the memory of the radio naviga-
tion system is switched on first and can be used directly for route guidance.
Storing the updated navigation data can take up to one hour. Route guidance will
start via the navigation DVD while the navigation data is being stored. Please
note that route guidance will be interrupted if the navigation DVD is removed.
Route guidance must then be restarted with details supplied from the navigation
system memory of the unit. 
