7RADIO NAVIGATION SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
The radio navigation system makes it very
easy to operate the convenient radio, CD and
navigation features in your vehicle. You can also
equip the system with an original Škoda 6-disc
CD changer.
Navigation
The navigation system is your "Intelligent pas
-
senger". With its help, you can travel from your
current location to any selected destination quick -
ly, easily and safely without having to use a lot of
complicated roadmaps. In cities and towns unfa -
miliar to you, for example, you can drive directly
to the nearest petrol station. The system uses
the data stored on the navigation CD to calcula -
te the route to the selected destination. During
route guidance, different display modes provide
you with visual driving recommendations, such
as where to turn (direction and distance to the
next turning point), information on your estimated
time of arrival, on the remaining travelling time
and the distance to your destination.
In addition, you can also receive "spoken" driving
recommendations from your radio navigation
system. How does navigation work?
T h e e l e c t r o n i c s p e e d o m e t e r s i g n a l a n d
the locating signals received from the GPS
satellites (Global Positioning System) are used
to determine the vehicle‘s current position. The
route travelled is measured by the speedometer
signal. This information is fed into the navigation
system and compared to the map information
stored there.
Important notes
Operating the radio navigation system
while driving
The demands of today‘s road traffic require the
full concentration of road users at all times.
Never operate the radio navigation system
with its many different features unless traffic
conditions permit. Do not adjust any of the
basic settings for the radio navigation system
or enter your destination information unless
your vehicle is stationary.
The different volume settings should be selected
so that acoustic signals from the outside, e.g.
police or fire brigade sirens, can be heard at
all times.
Always devote your attention primarily to
driving! As the driver of a motor vehicle,
you bear full responsibility for your road
safety. Never operate the radio navigation
system in a way that could interfere with
your ability to maintain control of your
vehicle in all traffic situations!
N o t e s o n u s i n g t h e r a d i o n a v i g a t i o n
system
• The route calculated by the navigation system
is a recommendation on how best to reach
your selected destination. The Road Traffic
Rules always take priority over any driving
r e c o m m e n d a t i o n p r o v i d e d . S h o r t - t e r m
changes in traffic conditions, such as road
works or one-way street regulations are not
included on the CDs.
• Street and place names may change. In rare
cases, the names stored on the CD might not
be the same as those used now.
• If you have your tyres changed, the system
may not operate correctly until the navigation
system has determined the new tyre size. For
more information, please read the section on
NAVIGATION SETUP on page 14.
