Introductory information about the CD mode
Insert CD›
Insert a CD, with the labelled side facing up, into the CD slot

until it is auto-
matically drawn in. The play function will start automatically.
Removing the CD
›
Press the button  – die CD is ejected.
If the ejected CD is not taken out within 10 seconds, it will be retracted again for safety reasons.
CD not legible
If a CD is inserted which cannot be read by the unit, a pop-up window is displayed with a note. Press the function key OK
, the CD is moved to the removal position.
WARNINGThe CD player is a laser product. On the manufacturing date, this device was
classified as a class 1 laser product in accordance with the national/interna-
tional standards DIN EN 60825-1: 2008-05 and DHHS Rules 21 CFR,
subchapter J The laser used in this class 1 laser product is so weak that there
is no risk of danger when operated correctly. This product is designed such
that the laser is restricted to the inside of the unit. However, the installed la-
ser could be classified in a higher class were the housing to be removed. For
this reason, never remove the housing from the unit.
CAUTION
■ Only audio-CDs (CD-A) and MP3-CDs can be played in the internal drive. Never
place DVDs into the internal drive – irreparable damage may result.■
Never insert CDs with the designation “Do not insert in drives without a drawer”
or Eco Disc into the internal drive.
■
After pressing the button  there is a time delay of a few seconds before the
CD is ejected. During this time the lock in front of the CD slot is open.
■
Be sure to wait until the CD has been fully ejected before you try to insert a new
CD. Otherwise you can damage the drive inside the unit.
■
A dirty, mechanically damaged, unreadable or incorrectly inserted CD can cause
playback problems. For this reason, the disc may not be playable or may cause the
CD to jump. Check the CD and insert it properly into the unit. Should the problem
persist, try using another CD and visit a specialist garage if necessary.
■
If the inside temperature of the unit is too high, no CDs will be accepted. The
unit switches into the last active operating mode.
■ Never use liquids such as petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner to clean the sur-
face of the CD - this may cause damage.■
Never expose the CD to direct sun light!
■
Only write on the CD with appropriate writing tools.
■
Do not affix anything to the CD!
Note
■ Uneven road surfaces and strong vibrations may cause the CD to jump.■In cold weather or after rain showers, moisture (condensate) may deposit in the
unit. This can effect the CD jump or impair the play function. In that case, wait un-
til the moisture has dissipated.■
Should a CD be dirty, never clean it in a circular motion, but instead work from
the inside out. Use a soft, lint-free cloth. For heavy stains, we recommend that
you clean the CD with a commercially available CD cleaner and allow it to dry.
■
It is possible that CDs protected by copyright and home-made CD-R and CD-RW
will not be played back at all or only in certain circumstances.
■
Please also note the additional information for MP3 mode.
■
The national copyright laws that apply in your country must be observed.
■
The CD player does not contain parts that need to be serviced or repaired. In the
case of a defective CD player, please visit a specialist garage.
■
If the ejected CD is not taken out, it will be retracted again for safety reasons.
■
If a TP station was set before changing to CD mode, CD playback will be inter-
rupted during the traffic news and the device switches to radio mode. Once the
traffic news has ended, CD playback will resume.

NAV mode (Navigation)
Introductory information
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-
tions can only then be re-transmitted.
In regions that are not or only partially digitised and are therefore not included in the navigation data, the device will continue to try to provide guidance to the
destination. It should be noted that under these circumstances the guidance to
the destination may not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets
and road categories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially inclu-
ded in the navigation data used.
When entering an address (city, street), only those letters or symbols which make up a logical entry will be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do not
forget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, such
as High Wycombe.
The last voice output can be repeated by pressing the menu button
15
. The vol-
ume can be changed while you listen to the travel recommendation.
The GPS satellites will not be able to reach the aerial once you are in a tunnel or
underground garage. In these cases, the unit uses only the vehicle's sensors and
an internal gyroscope for navigation.
WARNING■ Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! Driver inattention can
lead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are fully responsible for road
safety. Only use the functions of the device in such a way that you are always
in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!■
The following must always have priority over the driving recommendations: ■ the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contradict
the StVO,
■ the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs placed
by the police at the relevant location,
■ the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location.
■
Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.
WARNING (Continued)■Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving rec-
ommendations provided by the navigation system.■
Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to information
relating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-
ta. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop-
ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not tak-
en into account by the device.
■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
Do not let the device to tempt you to drive too fast in the fog, for example –
risk of accident!
■
The device and its various functions should only be used when traffic condi-
tions permit safe use.
■
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,
e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case, always
observe the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommendations.
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehicle,
e.g. sirens from vehicles to give way to, such as the police, ambulance and fire
brigade, can be heard at all times.
Note
■ It is not necessary to enter the destinations (country, city, road, point of interest
names) including all country-specific (or language-specific for points of interest)
special characters.■
Depending on the country, some functions of the device can no longer be selec-
ted on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction, but corresponds to
the legal requirements of the particular country.

■Use SD - Using the navigation data directly from the SD memory card. If you
want to use navigation data from other regions that differs from the data stor- ed in the memory of the device, you can also use data directly from the SD
memory card for guidance. This means you have two different sets of naviga-
tion data at your disposal. It is not necessary therefore to copy the navigation data from the SD memory card to the memory of the radio navigation system.
■ Install
- Copies the navigation data from the SD memory card to the internal de-
vice memory. The “old” navigation data in the internal device memory is deleted.
Data cannot be recovered once deleted »
.
No navigation data is available during copying. The copy process takes around 2
hours.
Do not remove the SD memory card during the process of copying data from the
SD memory card to the internal memory of the radio navigation system! You can
damage the memory card!
Manual copying
If you insert the SD memory card with valid navigation data but the copy process
does not start automatically, you can start it manually.
Press the button NAV

→ SETUP.
■ Navigation data basis

■ Install/use SD data - installs/uses the navigation data from the SD memory card
CAUTION
If the navigation data in the internal device memory is overwritten by a different
version, this data cannot be restored !

You can obtain an SD memory card with the latest navigation data or with data
for other countries from ŠKODA Original Accessories.
