Special equipment 
The navigation system SatCompass offers yo u an easy handling of the convenience 
equipment radio, CD player and navigation  system in the vehicle. The system can 
be equipped with an original  6-compartment CD changer*.
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 stat ion. 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 navigation 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 navigation system
Under certain requirements the system must be announced, as it is equipped with 
a radio unit.
How does the 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 information 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  Positioning  System (GPS ) - global satel-
lite locating system.

Functional description of the buttons
Switching the system on and off
– The system is switched on or off  by pressing the rotary/push knob  .
The audio source or the navigation status  (if the last route guidance dates back 
more than 30 minutes) which was active before switching the system off is acti-
vated.
If the key is pulled out of the ignition lo ck when the system is switched on, the 
system switches off autmatically. You can  switch on the system again by pressing 
the rotary/push knob  . If the engine is switched off, the system (protection of the 
vehicle battery before discharging) swit ches off automatically after approx. one 
hour. This process can be re peated as often as desired.
If the system is switched off and the ignition key is withdrawn, a flashing LED indi-
cates that this is a system with  an active anti-theft coding.

•If the information “ SAFE” appears in the display afte r switching on the unit, it 
can only be operated again by  entering the correct code ⇒page 15.
Button 
With the navigation system there is the poss ibility to record traffic information over 
a period of 2 and/or 24 hours.  Up to nine  traffic reports with a total duration of 
maximum 4 minutes can be automatically recorded.
The TP stations always record traffic report s during operation, also if the play func-
tion is aborted by pressing the button    . In the case of EON stations, also the 
recording is aborted.
If the system is switched off, the reports are only recorded if the function TIM is acti-
vated.
Activate 24 hour TIM readiness
•If the system is switched off and the ignition key is withdrawn, hold the button     pressed for a few seconds.
Activate 2 hour TIM readiness
•Withdraw the ignition key when the system is switched on and the vehicle is 
stationary. The recording readiness is deactivated by switching the system on.
Note
•The 24 hour TIM readiness leads to an increased power consumption over 24 
hours. This can lead to problems with th e voltage of the vehicle battery, if the 
vehicle is only driven on short distance s. In this case the 24 hour TIM readiness 
should not be activated.
•The oldest traffic information will be overwritten if the traffic information 
memory is full. If a report lasts more than  four minutes, the beginning of this report 
is overwritten.
Button 
The display contrast can be set with the button    . – Press the button  .
– The contrast can be set by pressing the menu knob  .
– Confirm the set value by pressing the menu knob  .
Button 
With the button     incoming traffic re
ports can be displayed in the display 
via the  TMC (T raffic  Message  Channel - traffic message ch annel). These reports are 
used by the navigation system for the dy namic route guidance, if this option is 
active  ⇒page 29.
The number of received traffic repo rts is shown below the display “TMC” through 
corresponding points.
If the button     is pressed, a text appears in the display. In the standard field 
- background - of the display ⇒ page 9, fig. 2 the number of the indicated report 
and the number of stored re ports is shown behind “TRAFFIC INFO”.
To change in-between individual reports, turn the menu knob  .
Note
The TMC function is only available if a navigation CD has been inserted. Reports are 
deleted after 15 minutes, if they are not rece ived again. If there is no report, a corre-
sponding note is displayed in the display.
Button 
Mute the audio sources by pressing the button    . “ AUDIO OFF” 
is shown on the display.
– Press the button     again or turn the rotary/push knob   to  switch the mute function on/off.

stored destinations. If you wish to delete the stored destinations, select the menu 
point “ YES”, if not, select “ NO”.
Anti-theft protection
Anti-theft coding
The anti-theft coding of yo ur 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, after separa ting the navigation system from the on-
board voltage of the vehicle and after a de fective protection, the entry of the code 
is required when operating.
In such cases “ SAFE” is shown in the display after switching on.
Caution
•This code number is affixed together wi th the unit number on the “Unit card”, 
which is located  behind the instructions.
•The “unit card” must be disconnected and stored  outside the vehicle.
Note
The code is normally stored in the instrume nt cluster. Through this the navigation 
system is automatically decoded (convenien ce coding). A manual entry of the code 
is normally not necessary.
Code entry
The electronical lock is cancelled by entering the correct code. The order 
of the following operating steps must be maintained: – Switch on the navigation system - after the start screen with the 
display “ SAFE” the request for entry of the code number is displayed 
after 2 seconds “ 1000” is shown on the display.
– Continue pressing the station selection button  1   until the first digit 
of the code number is shown in the display.
– Insert the other digits of the code  number by repetitively pressing the 
station selection button  2, and/or 3 or 4  .
– If the entire code number was entered, press the menu knob   or the  button   or the button   for at least 2 seconds.
Entry of an incorrect code number
If inadvertently an incorrect code number was confirmed when entering, “ SAFE” is 
shown again in the display. First of all flashing and then permanent. “ WRONG 
TRIES: 1 ” is shown on the display.
Now the entire process can be repeated once again.
If the code number is entered incorrectly fo r the second time, the navigation system 
will be blocked for approx. one hour. It is  only possible to repeat the entry of the 
code number after an hour  has expired and while the navigation system is switched 
on and the ignition key remains in the ignition lock. 
If once again two non-valid attempts are  undertaken, the navigation system will be 
blocked again for an hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - furthermore applies.
Note
Please do not hesitate to contact your Šk oda Service Partner should you have lost 
the “unit card”.
