2008 SKODA OCTAVIA navigation system

General information
10
– After a four-digit order has been entered, the group of digits will turn grey (inactive) and no further digits can be accepted in the entry line.
– Press on the touch-screen to erase the digits in the entry line from right to left and thereby corr ect your input, if necessary.
– If the correct code number is displayed in the entry line, press .Code number
The code number can only be called up “onl ine” via the Škoda system, as this guar-
antees even more effective anti-theft protection. Please contact your Škoda dealer
if necessary.
Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is confirmed afte r input, the procedure can be repeated one
more time . The number of possible attempts is shown in the second line on the
touch-screen.
If the code number is entered incorrectl y for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter again the safety code after one
hour has expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
If two invalid attempts are then made agai n, the navigation system will be blocked
again for an hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply.
Note
The code is normally stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is auto-
matically decoded (convenience coding). Ma nual input of the code is normally not
necessary.

Navigation announcements – audible driving recommendations from the navigation system are played
during the audio operation at a pre-set volume.
– audible driving recommendations are only provided when you have left
the calculated route, for example on the basis of announced traffic problems. This
setting is recommended if audible drive recommendations are normally no longer
needed for a daily driven route and navigati on is only used as dynamic navigation.
If an audible driving recommendation is transmitted again on the basis of a change in route, navigation announcements mu

Selector key NAV (Navigation)
38Selector key NAV (Navigation)OverviewSafety information regarding the use of the navigation systemThe route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommendations
can only then be re-transmitted.
Incomplete navigation data
The navigation system cannot receive any da ta from GPS satellites if you drive for
longer periods under thick forest canopy or when your vehicle is in a garage, under-
pass or tunnel. In this case, th e navigation system orientates itself solely with the
help of the vehicle sensors.
In regions not at all or only partially digitalised and stored as such on the navigation
DVD, the navigation system will try to provide guidance to the destination. Please
note that under these circumstances the guidance to the destination may not be
completely correct if, for example, one-wa y streets and road categories (motorway,
country road etc.) are not at all or only partially included in the navigation data
used.
WARNING
Always concentrate fully on your drivin g. Inattention by the driver can lead
to accidents and injuries.•
Do not allow yourself to be distracted or loose your concentration, pay
attention to the traffic situation and do not carry out settings or use the radio
navigation system.
•
Only use the radio navigation system if road, weather and traffic situa-
tions permit this and you are not distracted.
•
The various volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible
signals from the outside, such as e.g. a Martins horn from police cars and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please observe the legal requirements for road traffic when following the
driving recommendations provided by your radio navigation system.•
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situa-
tions, 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 recommenda-
tions.
•
Traffic signs and traffice regulations al ways have priority over the driving
recommendations provided by the navigation system.
•
Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to informa-
tion relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored on the naviga-
tion DVD. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking
and stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions
is not included in the radio navigation system.
•
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. Do not
allow the navigation system to make yu drive faster in fog – risk of
accident!
Navigation data and the navigation DVDStoring navigation data in the unit
– Push a navigation DVD with as far as possible into the CD/DVD case
with the written side facing up until it is automatically drawn in. The
unit will compare the data on the navigation DVD with the data in the
navigation system memory. No message will appear if the data in the
navigation system memory of the unit is identical to the data on the
navigation DVD.
– Press the function key , to find out that the storing process has
been completed.

– If the corresponding message appears, press the key or press the function key and take out the navigation DVD. Active route guid-
ance is interrupted and must be restarted.
Updating navigation data in the unit
– If the data of the navigation DVD is not identical to that stored in the
navigation memory of the unit, a corresponding message will be
displayed.
– Press on the function key to ov erwrite the data in the navigation
system memory of the unit with the data from the navigation DVD.
Using the data of a navigation DVD for a short period of time
– If you leave the stored area map in the navigation memory of the unit
for only a short period of time, insert the navigation DVD for the area
to be driven.
– Press on the function key and leave the navigation DVD in the unit. The unit uses only the data from the navigation DVD for the
navigation.
– If you are again in the area of the ma p material stored in the navigation
memory, press the key to take out the navigation DVD.
Storing the 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 navi gation DVD is taken out. Route guidance
must then be restarted with details suppl ied from the navigation system memory
of the unit.
Up to date navigation data and new navigation DVD
Road guidance is subject to constant chan ges (e.g. new streets, changes of street
names and house numbers). A navigation DVD is a huge data store, which unfortu-
nately will not be up to date after a cert ain time. This can lead to complaints during
route guidance. It is for this reason that you must regula
rly update the navigation data on your unit
with a current navigation DVD.
Input windows of the navigation systemSelecting a destination from the list
– If you press on the function key after opening the input mask, a list will open with all the destinations containing the relevant parameters
selectable from the navigation memory (e.g. and ).
– If need be, move the sliding regulator to the right edge of the touch- screen for all entries in the list to be displayed.
– Press the desired entry in the list to take it over for the address.
Limiting the destination and selecting from the list
– You can open a list of the selectable destinations any time by pressing the function key behind the entry line while making entries in the
entry line. Only destinations select able from the navigation memory
will be displayed and which corres pond to the requirements and the
character sequence in the entry line.
– The number of selectable destinatio ns will be displayed in the func-
tion key if fewer than one hundred destinations can be selected.
–If fewer than six destinations ar e selectable, the entry window will
close automatically and a list of possible destinations will be
displayed.
