2011 SKODA OCTAVIA navigation

Due to the large number of possible voice commands, we give here only a few ex-
amples. Therefore, please observe the system guidelines when entering voice
commands.
The system only recognises 30 000 entries (i.e, it will only recognise 30 000 of
the largest cities for the selected country, for example, in the operating mode
NAV
. If the desired city is not included in the 30 000 entries, it cannot be pro-
nounced normally, but it must be entered by spelling it out.
Call up the general information for the voice control by briefly pressing the button  on the unit and by pronouncing the command “Instructions”. Then you hear a
message that the instructions are divided into seven parts. If you want more de-
tailed information about individual parts of the instructions, pronounce for exam-
ple the command
“Manual part 2”.
Call up the general help for individual operating modes by briefly pressing the but-
ton  on the unit and by pronouncing the command “Help short commands”

.
Changing between the operating modes
If you wish to change between the operating modes after switching on the voice
control, always pronounce the name of the operating mode in which you wish to
change. This means, if you are in the operating mode RADIO and you wish to
change into the operating mode MEDIA pronounce the command “Media”. Always
pronounce the names of the operating modes PHONE, MAP, NAV as “Telephone,
map, navigation ”.
In each operating mode, you can also use the voice commands for other operating
modes - the device automatically switches between the different operating
modes.
Voice command “Help”
Help can be called up by pronouncing the command “ Help”. Depending on the op-
erating mode in which you are, the help given will offer different possibilities. If
the possibilities offered are not sufficient, pronounce the command “further op-
tions”.
If you pronounce the command “Help”, you can hear a message on how the com-
mand should be correctly pronounced (e.g. “auto Zoom ”).
Help display
If you want the help to be displayed on the touch-screen of the unit, you must on-
ly activate it (then deactive it) manually in the operating modes SETUP → Voice control →
Visual help . The help display can be set separately for each operating mode in the system (this
means, if you only set the help display for the operating mode
MAP, it is only dis-
played in this operating mode).
The range of these commands is indicated in the pop-up window Possible com-
mands are:
If you do not wish the help display to be shown when the dialogue is switched on,
pronounce the command

“Fade out” while you are in the help display or press the
function key Fade out . The help display is shown again after repeatedly switching
on the dialogue.
Voice recording
In the operating modes PHONE, NAV and RADIO a short voice recording can be set
up; after pronouncing the recorded term the desired command is carried out (e.g.
in the operating mode PHONE, a voice recording can be set up besides a tele-
phone contact and after pronouncing it the system carries out the selection pro-
cedure. Ð
Further voice commands If you wish to scroll through the lists in the operating modes
MEDIA, PHONE, NAV,
RADIO (e.g. in the operating mode RADIO in the list of the radio station), you must
pronounce the command

“next page” or “previous page”.
If you are in a list in which the details are shown (e.g. in the operating modes NAV,
New dest. ,
Last destinations ), pronounce the command “Options for entry
” and then
select a number by pronouncing the command
“Options for entry 3” or “Info for
entry 3 ”.
Certain voice commands in the operating mode RADIO
If you pronounce the command “Read station list ”, the system reads the list of
the radio stations. The desired selected radio station can be selected by briefly
pressing the button  on the unit during the message, then the system offers
selection possibilities for the selected entry.
If you directly pronounce a station name, the system switches over to the desired
station.
Examples for voice commands in order to operate buttons on the touch-screen of
the unit:
● “next station ”  ●
“previous station”  9
Voice control of the radio navigation system

Certain voice commands in the operating mode MEDIA
Examples for voice commands in order to operate buttons on the touch-screen of
the unit or examples for voice commands for which no help display is indicated:
● “Back”  - return one step back and end the dialogue (function key
 can
also occur in other operating modes),
● “Up ”  ,
● “Next title ”  ,
● “Previous title ”  ,
● “Pause”  ,
● “Play ”
 ,
● “Bluetooth audio ”  .
Certain voice commands in the operating mode PHONE
The digits zero to nine are permitted. The system detects no continuous digit
combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two,
three).
You can enter the telephone number as a continuous row, as individually spoken
digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated by
short pauses). After each digital block (separated by a short pause) the system re-
peats the detected digits.
Before entering the digits, you can enter additionally a symbol
“Plus (+)” for inter-
national calls.
If you pronounce the command “Read out telephone book ”, the system reads out
the telephone book. The desired telephone contact can be selected by briefly
pressing the button  on the unit during the message, then the system offers
selection possibilities for the selected entry.
Certain voice commands in the operating mode MAP
Examples for voice commands in order to operate buttons on the touch-screen of
the unit or examples for voice commands for which no help display is indicated:
● “Driving direction ”  and “Direction North ” - changes the orientation of the
map,
● “Move map ”
- moves the map, then pronounce the command “ to the left”, “to
the right”, “up”, “down”,
● “Position map ” or “Reset display” - if the display of the current position  on
the map has moved with the complete map from the centred position to both
sides, to the top or to the bottom, the map is again centred. ●
“Orientation zoom ”
, “Rocket zoom”  - briefly switches the map display to the
overview display (small scale). It returns again to the last display (large scale) after
a few seconds,
● “Zoom in” + or “zoom out”
- - enlarges or reduces the map scale.
● “Show info ” - shows info (e.g GPS coordinates) of the entry which was dis-
played in the map.
● “Save ”
 - if you wish to save for example the selected route in the operating
mode NAV .
Certain voice commands in the operating mode NAV
If you pronounce the name of the desired city and the system is not sure about
the entry made or the name of the city is identical to other cities, it offers a list of
cites with the utmost probability. You can scroll through the commands
“next
page” or “ previous page” in the list, then chose the desired city by pronouncing
the command e.g. “Number 1 ” or “1”.
While in the operating mode NAV, the system does not allow you to enter post co-
des. Ð10

Overview
Main menu PHONE Fig. 8 Main menu TELEPHONE
Individual functions in the menu TELEPHONE may depend on the equipment and
the properties of the connected mobile phone.
Before connecting the mobile phone for the first time it is necessary to pair the
phone with the radio navigation system - detailed information about this can be
found in your vehicle's Owner's manual and phone operating guide.
When switching on the navigation system, this automatically connects with the
mobile phone with which it was last connected. If it is not possible to connect
with this mobile phone, the system automatically attempts to establish the con-
nection to the next mobile phone which is in the list of the connected devices.
After the connection process, it will take a few minutes until the phone book data
of the mobile phone connected to the radio unit is available.
