The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
DAB digital radio reception allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single
frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmission
of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings, etc.).
Note
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio signal even
causing it to fail completely.■
For vehicles with disc antennas, if the discs are obscured with film or metal-
coated stickers, you may experience interference.
■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the RDS and AF functions. Otherwise, these settings can affect the functionality of the radio.

WARNING■
Never place signal sources close to airbags. Loose objects could hit a de-
ployed airbag and injure occupants – danger of death!■
Never place signal sources on the dashboard. Loose objects can be thrown
forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure
the occupants or other road users.
■
Do not have signal sources in your hand or on your knees while driving.
Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.
■
Always route the connection cable of the external signal source such that
does not restrict you when driving.
CAUTIONWe recommend that you do not save any important data on CD media, Bluetooth ® players, to a SD memory card or connected external signal sources. The ŠKODA
Partner is not responsible for losses resulting from the loss of data stored on
these media.
Note
In some signal sources you can change the output level.

ŠKODA permits the operation of mobile phones and two-way radio systems with
a professionally installed external aerial and a maximum transmission power of
up to 10 watts.
Please ask at a specialist workshop about installing and operating mobile phones
and two-way radio systems that have a transmission power of more than 10 W.
Operating mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with the func-
tionality of the electronic systems in your vehicle.
The reasons for this are as follows:
› no external aerial;
› external aerial incorrectly installed;
› transmission power greater than 10 watts.
Note
■
We recommend that the installation of mobile phones and two-way radio sys-
tems in a vehicle be carried out by a specialist garage.■
The phone features depend on the mobile network operators and on the phone
being used. Further information is available from the mobile network operator or
refer to your phone manual
■
In signal-free areas reception can be interrupted or the call disconnected.
■
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. In exceptional
cases, electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals and tele-
phone service may be disrupted.

TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions.
The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 25 .
› TP in the DAB frequency range
› TMC traffic report with dynamic adjustment of the current route option
For the correct TMC function, the following conditions are required: The vehicle is within range of the FM RDS-TMC.Adequate and uninterrupted signal reception of a traffic report station 1)
.
Current navigation data in the device.
Operation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 63.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio sta-tion for continuous transmission of traffic information.
›
Press TRAFFIC to display a list of
traffic reports …/… .
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report details » page 64.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listening
to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traffic
reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for the
content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation sys- tem when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switch dynamic route on/off
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 63.›
In the Navigation main menu, press  Route options → → Dynamic route .
Traffic reports influence dynamic route guidance by means of TMC reports when
the Dynamic route » page 47 function is switched on.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are dis-
played in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g., ,  ,  , etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of a
grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are guided
through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the button TRAFFIC
.
If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies along your route, you can also
switch on the dynamic route guidance during the current route guidance or block
the route manually » page 63.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not always
offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
