These operating instructions describe all possible equipment variants without
identifying them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent
equipment.
Consequently, this vehicle does not need to contain all of the equipment compo-
nents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the ve-
hicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA 1)
Partner from whom you
bought the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as a supplement to the infor- mation in the Owner's Manual of your vehicle. Therefore, they can be used only in
conjunction with the latest manual for this vehicle. For a detailed description of
some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehicle Manual for your vehi-
cle.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your unit; they are only intended
for general information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the unit in a way that leaves you in full control of your vehicle in
every traffic situation – there is the risk of an accident.

from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and fire
brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.

› the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for repairs
at a ŠKODA 1)

Input screen with keyboard
Fig. 4
Input screen
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 8.
The input screen with keypad is used to input entries or find entries in the unit
memory (e.g. phone contacts, addresses, etc.).
Pressing the keyboard function key on the input screen places the character re-quired in text line
A
.
Only those letters or symbols reasonably used in an entry will be available during
input. Do not forget to enter a space in terms made up of more than one word,
such as Lorem Ipsum. The entries can be entered without special characters (dia-
critics).
The system begins searching for the most relevant terms as soon as letters are
entered, so it is not necessary to enter the entire name.
In addition to the text line
A
, the number of matching entries is shown in the
function key
B
.
The numbers 1-99 indicate the number of matching entries found. If even more
entries were found, ** is indicated instead of a number. If less than 6 entries were
found, a list of the found entries opens automatically.
