6WARNING■ Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully
responsible for the operation of your vehicle.■
Only use the device in such a way that you are in full control of your vehi-
cle in every traffic situation – there is the risk of accidents!
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emerging vehicles instructing you to give way to, such
as the police, ambulance and fire brigade, can be heard at all times.
■
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
CAUTION
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the ve-
hicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunction, but com-
plies with the national legal regulations.
Information on use, updating and compatibility
Read and observe
and on page 6 first.
Refer to the ŠKODAInternet pages http://infotainment.skoda-auto.com for in-

For activated component theft protection the following message appears in
the screen Component theft protection: infotainment system availability cur-
rently limited. Please switch on the ignition.
If the component protection does not activate by switching on the ignition,

16Device operation and settings
Some applications require that the data connection in the connected device is
turned on.
By establishing the Android Auto ™
connection all existing Bluetooth ®
connec-
tions are terminated to the device and a Bluetooth ®
connection using the
Android Auto ™
is established to the device.
A device connected using Android Auto ™
cannot be used as an audio source in
the menu Media.
If route guidance is active at this moment in the device, then this is terminated
by starting the route guidance in the Android Auto ™
application. This is also
true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Auto ™
connection supports
can be found on the Google website.

GPS satellite signal
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for route
guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions using
some on-vehicle sensors (such as speed sensor or steering angle sensor).
The unit offers the possibility to show in the split screen display the following
Position » Fig. 44 on page 61 information about the current geographical po-
sition of the vehicle and the satellite signal.
Geographical longitude
Geographical latitude
Elevation
Number of received/available satellites
To view the information on the longitude and latitude of the current vehicle
position display requires the reception of GPS signals from at least three satel-
lites.
To view the elevation information of the current vehicle position display re-
quires the reception of GPS signals from at least five satellites.
