14Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined using sensors, satellites and
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her
destination.The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites
(GPS - Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure
distances that have been driven. Measured values are compared using
the detailed map material on the navigation CD and corrected with the
assistance of TMC traffic announcements as necessary. An optimal route
to the destination is determined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen
and in the combi-instrument guide you safely and conveniently to your
destination. You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar
with, or drive to the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the position of the vehicle, the direction
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The
route guidance function is designed for cars and is thus unsuitable for
larger commercial vehicles.

WARNING
x
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when
following the recommendations made by your navigation system.
x
Route guidance is subject to constant changes despite the
information about one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored on
the navigation CD. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of
way signs, parking and stopping restrictions as well as lane
constrictions is not included in the navigation system. Traffic signs
and legislation always have priority over the recommendations
made by the system.
x
Adjust your speed to suit road traffic conditions and also
weather and visibility conditions. Do not drive faster in fog, for
example, if the navigation system tells you to do so.
The navigation CDInserting the navigation CD
– Press the button Ÿpage 2, fig. 1 to eject any CD in the
CD slot.
– Remove the CD and insert the navigation CD with the written side facing up.
– Push the CD into the slot until the radio navigation system pulls it in. The program stored on the navigation CD is loaded.
Do not remove the navigation CD before the loading process
is finished.
The navigation CD contains a digitalised road map. The extent to which
small villages, streets and house numbers are contained on the CD
depends on the CD version.
The content of the CD is constantly being updated. You will receive infor-
mation on new updates at your next Škoda Service. You will need a new
navigation CD for every country that you travel to.
Note
If the text CD ? is displayed in the small marking above the button,
the CD inserted in the CD drive can not be read.General notesYou can continue to listen to the radio or CD (via the CD changer) whilst
you are being guided to your destination.
When entering an address (town, 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 route will be recalculated if you leave or disregard the route that was
originally calculated. This process takes only a few seconds.
The last announcement made can be repeated. The volume of a naviga-
tion recommendation can be changed whilst it is being made.
A variety of different information on the route can be called up during
active route guidance. The scroll function can be used to page through
lists shown on the screen, either line by line or page by page.
If the display Off Road appears on the screen, it means you are located
on a non-digitalised street, e.g. on a farm track. The GPS satellites will not
be able to reach your antenna when you are in a tunnel or underground
