But you should only operate the navigation system with its wide range of possibilities when the traffic situation allows. The volume settings must be selected in
such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility
vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please concentrate fully at
all times on your driving! As the driver you are
fully responsible for road safety. Only use the functions in such a way that you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!Before using the navigation system•
Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
•
Street and location names can be change
d. It is therefore possible that the
names stored on the CD might not correspond to the changed names.•
The route calculated by the navigation system is a recommendation for
reaching the intended destination. While
driving please pay a
ttention to stopping
restrictions, traffic lights, one-way streets, lane change restrictions, canals and ferries.
WARNING
Road traffic legislation (StVO) applies
at all times, even if a driving recom-
mendation contradicts the StVO.
Caution
•
Inserting a second CD while a CD is being ejected can destroy the CD drive in
the unit. Please note that the CD ejecti
on lasts a few seconds after pressing the
Eject button
. During this time the lock in fr
ont of the CD case is open. It is
essential that you wait until the CD has been
fully ejected before you try to insert a
new CD.
•
Press the buttons and the keys of the unit gently in order to avoid damaging
them. Gentle pressure on
the appropriate key is sufficient to operate the unit.
Please note that the rotary/push knobs
have predetermined breaking points, in
order to reduce the risk of injury.•
Please note that a dirty or scratched na
vigation CD can considerably impair the
speed and the functions of the navigation system.Using the displayCarefully handle the display because dent
s and scratches can occur through pres-
sure of the finger or contact with sharp objects. The display can be cleaned wi
th a soft cloth and finger marks can be wiped away
with pure alcohol.
Note
Do not use solvent such as turpentine or
petrol as they will corrode the display
surface.Anti-theft protectionAnti-theft codingYour radio is equipped with
a convenience coding. If the radio is being operated for
the first time, the safety code is not only st
ored in the radio but also in the vehicle.
After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, first of all switch on the ignition and then the radio. If you wish to install the radio in another
vehicle, the safety code must be entered.
In this case, please do not hesitate to contact a Škoda Service Partner or a Škoda importer. As the unit only functions afte
r entering the safety code, this practically excludes its
use after a theft - a contribution to increased anti-theft safety.

cases wait until the moisture has dissipated.

NavigationOverviewSafety 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 data 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, the 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 CD, the navigation system will try to prov
ide 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
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 consta
nt changes despite the information
about one-way streets, pedestrian zone
s etc. stored on the navigation CD.
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 included in the radio navigation system.Navigation CDInserting the navigation CD – Insert the CD into the CD case . The program stored on the naviga-
tion CD is loaded. Do not remove the navigation CD before the loading process is finished.
After route guidance has started, the na
vigation CD may not
be taken out under
certain circumstances, e.°g in order to play an Audio CD. Up to date navigation data and new navigation CD Road guidance is subject to
constant changes (e.g. new streets, changes of street
names and house numbers). A navigation CD
is a huge data store, which unfortu-
nately will not be up to date after a certai
n 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 CD.GeneralYou can continue to listen to the radio
or play CDs during the route guidance
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.
