General information
Operating instructions
Please read this Amundsen+ navigation system (from here on referred to only as device) Owner's Manual carefully, because operation in accordance with these instructions is a prerequisite for proper use of the unit.
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 level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the ve- hicle. 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 infor-
mation presented in the Vehicle Manual for your vehicle. Therefore, they can be
used only in conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed de-
scription of some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehicle Manual.
If you have any questions about your unit, please contact a ŠKODA Partner. The illustrations can differ in minor details from your device; they are only inten-
ded for general information.

Important information
Safety information
The device should only be used when traffic conditions permit safe use.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device so that you are in full control of your vehicle in every
traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehicle,
e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
■
High volumes can cause hearing damage.

2General information

Digital radio reception DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the digital transmission of radio programmes
based on the DAB, DAB+ or DMB standards. It allows multiple stations to be
transmitted in a single frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also al-
lows for the transmission of additional data and information (e.g. messages,
sport, weather, warnings, etc.)
In regions without DAB coverage, the following symbol appears in DAB Radio
mode .
List of DAB stations
Press the button RADIO

→ Band
→ DAB/List.
 XYZ
- an ensemble of DAB stations
 XYZ
- DAB station with the name XYZ
 XYZ 
- DAB station with the name XYZ which is currently not in range
 XYZ (FM))
- DAB station with the name XYZ which is currently only in range in the
FM frequency band
DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several ensembles, when the signal is poor, the
same station is searched in a different ensemble.
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 via the FM frequency band, (FM) will appear
next to the station name . When the corresponding DAB station is in range again,
the (FM) display disappears.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM frequency band due to poor recep- tion, the device will be switched to mute.
If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tunnels, when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-tion » page 8 , Settings in RADIO mode .

Traffic Program TP
The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e.g. in the station or preset
list), indicates a traffic programme station.
Irrespective of which radio station you are listening to, an additional receiver part
in the unit ensures that a traffic programme station can always be received as
long as the traffic programme function is switched on. During media mode, the
unit always searches for an available traffic program station in the background.
The availability of traffic programme monitoring is identified by the letters “ TP” at
the top right of the screen.
If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep- tion is interrupted in general, “ No TP” will be displayed instead of “ TP”.

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 digitised and are therefore not included in the navigation data, the device will continue to try to provide guidance to the
destination. It should be noted that under these circumstances the guidance to
the destination may not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets
and road categories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially inclu-
ded 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 menu button
15
. The vol-
ume can be changed while you listen to the travel recommendation.
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 device 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.
■
Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
WARNING (Continued)■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 tak-
en into account by the device.
■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
Do not let the device to tempt you to drive too fast in the fog, for example –
risk of accident!
■
The device and its various functions should only be used when traffic condi-
tions permit safe use.
■
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 the vehicle,
e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
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 device can no longer be selec-
ted on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction, but corresponds to
the legal requirements of the particular country.
