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 com-
ponents described in these operating instructions.
The level of equipment of your vehicle refers to your purchase contract of the
vehicle. More information is available from the ŠKODA Partner 1)
where you
bought the vehicle.
Please note that these instructions are meant only as a supplement to the in-
formation 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 de-
scription of some functions listed in these instructions, see the Vehicle Manual
for your vehicle.
The illustrations can differ in minor details from your unit; they are only inten-
ded for general information.
WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible 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.
WARNING (Continued)■ Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirens
from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and
fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!

Component protection
Read and observe
on page 4 first.
Some electronic control units are factory-equipped with component protec-
tion.
The component protection was developed as a protection mechanism for:
› impairment of factory- or garage-fitted control units after installation in an-
other vehicle (for example, after a theft);
› impairment of components operated outside of the vehicle;
› the possibility of a legitimate installation or change of control units for re-
pairs at a ŠKODA 1)
specialist garage.
When component protection is enabled, the following message appears on the
unit's display Component theft protection: the infotainment system is not
fully available at present. Please switch on the ignition.
Please contact a ŠKODA Service Partner if component protection does not de-
activate when the ignition is switched on.

First and foremost, pay attention to the safety instructions » page 4 , Impor-
tant notes .
Some equipment functions can be operated using voice commands. This accel-
erates the use of the device and increases comfort while driving.
Voice control can be used in the Radio, Media , Phone and Navigation menus.
The voice control system can be operated either by the driver or by the front
passenger.
WARNING■ Please pay attention to the traffic first and foremost. As the driver you
are fully responsible for road safety. Only use the system in a way that
leaves you in full control of your vehicle in every traffic situation – there is
the risk of an accident.■
Do not use the voice control system under stress or in an emergency.
Your voice commands may not be recognized in such situations. In such cir-
cumstances it may not be possible to establish a telephone connection or
the connection may take too much time to complete. The emergency num-
ber should be dialled manually.
Function requirements
Read and observe
on page 13 first.

Requirements for optimum voice command recognition.
› Only give voice commands when the symbol.

 appears.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close doors, windows and the sliding roof, to prevent external disturbance
affecting recognition of the voice commands.
› You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
› Limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking at the same time,
when you are using voice control. 
