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.

The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 23 .
› 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
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio
station for continuous transmission of traffic information.

Press  to display a list of traffic reports
Traffic report …/….
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report de-
tails » page 59 .
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 listen-
ing 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 traf-
fic 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
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switch dynamic route on/off

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 44 function is switched on.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are
displayed 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 gui-
ded through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic
reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the
button 
.
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 58.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
